"shawn, that's horrible i'm so sorry." i said feeling terrible. i placed my hand on his back and started lightly rubbing his back in a comforting way.
"i just want you to know, im here for you. if you need to talk, talk to me. i know you've got all the guys but, my dad once told me, females give better advice!" i said quoting my dads exact words from a few years ago.
he laughed. that laugh was amazing.
"well thank you ariana, it means a lot." he said leaning over to hug me. just as he did so, cameron walked in.
"hey guys where's the- oh. i see!" cameron said looking at us.
"dude, it was just a hug. quit acting like we're sitting here making out." shawn said with a tone of sass.
i couldn't help but grin from trying not to laugh.
"yeah yeah, whatever. anyways, where's the water bottles at?" he asked.
"bottom shelf in the fridge." i said pointing towards the kitchen.
"well, just to make sure cameron doesn't stretch the truth, i'm gonna go back out with him. thank you for hearing me out." shawn said as he stood up.
"anytime." i said and headed upstairs.
Shawn's POV:
i watched as ariana headed up the stairs. she was something else. i'm not sure if i've ever caught such immediate feelings. i need to chill though, i just got out of a relationship. and who's to say she likes me as well?
i headed out back with cameron and saw all of the guys sitting around a nice fire pit.
the weather was still fairly warm, considering it was LA and september.
"why did you stay inside?" nash asked.
"he was hugging up on your sister." cameron butted in.
"shut up cameron, i was talking to her about some things i'm going through. she's a good listener." i said sitting by Matt.
"as long as you're not banging her, you can talk to her!" nash said earning laughs from everyone but me.
"nash, do you really think that's all i want from her?" i asked in an annoyed tone.
"i'm not sure, i just know i don't want her heart broken. and hey, what happened to your girlfriend anyways??" nash asked curiously.
"that's what we were talking about." i said with my head low.
"oh boy, what happened?" he asked.
"she dumped me because i wouldn't have sex with her. that's what happened." i said quick.
all of they guys eyes widened and their jaws dropped.
"dude.. i'm sorry." nash said.
"yeah.. i just wasn't ready i guess? and she kept making me feel bad because i wouldn't do it. she would tell me immature or too scared." i said keeping my emotions back as well as i could.
"that's crazy..." nash said.
i nodded my head and everyone changed the subject really fast. we were all having a good time together, the guys were good at having fun. just as we were about to talk about girls, ariana came out the back door.
she had changed into a pair of high waisted shorts and a black crop top.
damn.
i thought.
"hey, i'm going to walk to that pizza place not far from here. anyone wanna tag along?" she asked.
part of me wanted to jump up and scream yes, but another part said, stay. but she can't walk around LA by herself, ugh ill just wait to see if anyone else offers.
"ill stay.." nash said.
"same.." cameron and taylor said.
"if no ones gonna go with you, i will." matt said.
her and i both looked at each other.
i looked away quickly.
"you know what, its fine. have your guy time, ill be ok." she said with the slightest smile.
the guys ignored it and went back to talking as she headed towards the house. she walked in and shut the door behind her.
it's too dangerous for her to walk around here by herself.
so i darted up and ran into the house.
"shawn? where are you going?" i heard behind me. i ignored it and kept heading to the house, where i saw her at the front door.
