Act Like You Don't Know

Taken

You know I always thought I would find the one.
Like when I meet him I will feel something I never felt before and the both of us would instantly fall in love.
Never thought it would be this complicated.
Never thought I would have feelings for more than one person. Nor did I think more than one person would like me.

Shawn was finally telling me the truth today. At 9pm.
Tonight is going to be the night I would stop feeling so stupid like I don't know what's going on around me.
By the way why did Shawn act like that when he saw Grayson at my door. Why didn't they at least say hi to each other. Is it possible they don't know each other or is it something else? Something I'm missing on.

It's 5pm now. 4 more hours till shawn knocks on my door. I had plenty of time to get ready so instead, my fat ass goes to the fridge and gets out every single can of soda I have and pulls out every bar of chocolate there is.
So much for getting ready.
I spend the following 2 hours watching netflix.
Get your ass up Jen.
I stand up from my comfy sofa and head to the shower where I wash my hair with this amazing strawberry scented shampo.
I wrap the towel around my body and turn to the mirror.
My hands shaking as I put on some eyeliner.
I was worried. Worried that something bad was going to happen.
It's 8pm already and I still have no idea what to wear.
I finally choose a little black dress and comfy high heels.
I let my hair down as it dances on my shoulders.

I hear the doorbell. Shawn is here.
"Wow!" He says as soon as I open the door. "Jen you look... just wow"
"Thanks Shawn" I say clearly blushing "you look pretty good yourself"
He's wearing a black suit. A GOD DAMN HOT BLACK SUIT.
"Let's go" he says.
"Where are we going?" I ask once we're in the car.
"You'll see"

We seem to drive for hours and this is the exact road we took yesterday when we went to get Eth. It's not possible that.. no that's not possible. I'm just thinking about this too much. I have to relax.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, not at all" I smile. Trying to hide what I had in mind.
I can't believe this. Why are we pulling into the forest?
Why in the hell are we even here?

"Don't be scared. Come on" Shawn says pulling me further into the forest.
We arrive to the same spot I've been standing in with Ethan.
"Shawn why are we here?"
"I just thought you'd love the view. I love it here."
Oh! This maybe is a known spot for people. I mean maybe this is just somewhere people go to all the time. Maybe I'm just being paranoid for nothing.
"Have you ever been here before?" He asks.
"No"
I know I'm lying but I didn't want him to feel like his efforts are unappreciated or anything. I mean he did drive me all the way here to show me this amazing view.
"Lying I see"
What in the name of God is happening? How does he know I'm lying?
"How did you.."
"I told you you were mine Jen. But you still went out with Grayson"
"Shawn it's not like that"
"I followed you both yesterday and he brought you here"
"But it wasn't a date or anything!!"
"Jen why would he bring you to the most known romantic place on earth if it wasn't a date? Tell me"
He surely didn't see me get into the forest alone to get Ethan.
"What makes you think you have the right to follow us anyway? Who do you think you.."
"Take her away" he says.
The last thing I remember is having someone wrap my head with a bag. And now, here I am. In a dark room. No windows, no light. No idea of what's going on. You know, Shawn didn't seem like the type of person do that. And I still don't believe he did this.

"Why did you do this Shawn? I trusted you." I whisper to myself.
"He had to" someone replies.
As I obviously wasn't expecting an answer I'm beyond terrified. But I could recognise that voice anywhere.
"Wait. Gray?"

What do you think happened. Was Shawn really a bad guy or did he have no choice. And what does Gray have to do with this?
Until the next chapter.
PEACE🤘❤
