Chapter 24

We get to my house. The lights turned on and the sound of my heartbeat bursting through my ears.
I have to tell Shawn , I can't lead him on.
I open the door and find snacks on the table and a cake with "Welcome back" on it.
We sit around the coffee table and catch up with each other.

"So how were your 3 months with the hottest band ever?
-Kate , they were great. The boys are a mess but I just adore them."
We talk for hours at time , about the boys.
"What celebrities did you meet?
-I met Shawn Mendes totally awkward. I was starstruck and Luke made it worse by telling him how I had posters of him in my room. He also said he was a fan of my writing so I sort of squealed like a little girl. Then Luke took me to an Ed Sheeran concert . We were front row and we had V.I.P tickets. I forbid Luke to say anything about the posters in my bedroom."

I laugh remembering the moment. I stepped on his shoes a gazillion times.

"Okay , so we spent a few hours with him. And we did the ritual. Signing, pictures, tweets etc..
And we exchanged numbers. I met 1D but I told you about it. Actually in the plane back here Harry was next to me. He is visiting a cousin here. I saw PATD! But we couldn't actually meet them. It was a unique trip.
-You can tell me that again. I heard you went to Disney.
-Actually yes Mike. I met Minnie."
Mike just rolls his eyes and the rest of us just laugh. I really missed my friends.

"What else did you do?
-You have no idea Adam.
-Then tell us.
-Okay, so for example. Cal acts innocent. He has the please I'm not going to hurt you when he will hurt you face. Like once he almost threw my book outside the bus because I refused to bake cookies. And another time in the hotel. His girlfriend Dan was looking for her phone and Cal had stolen it looking for any weird messages. When she was about to lose it he planted the phone in my purse. Dan and Cal got into a fight because she knew I wouldn't do it.
-Okay, I don't want Cal anymore.
-Alyssa he has a girlfriend.
-I know Mike. It doesn't mean I can't try.
-You make me sick."
I roll my eyes at them. Mike and Alyssa are the only ones with constant fights and it's cute.
"So what about Mike?
-Mike? Well he's the most kind hearted and  has a huge addiction to hair dye, pizza , video games and girls respectively.
-Serious?
-Yup , Mike.
-Now about Ash. Is he still single?
-Yup , Kate he is still single. He the father of the group. The one responsible for keeping everything under control. But also is really annoying, overprotective and jealous type.
-So , you mean if we ever date he'd be under control?
-Yes.
-Then forget it. What about Luke?
-The media blew out with the picture.
-Oh, well I was crossing the street a car almost ran over me. Luke just pushed me out of the way."

I'm talking about Luke and trying my best not to blush.
Trying my best.

"So ,That's most of it..."

                                                                                 

~a few hours later~

Everyone left , it's only Shawn and I in the house. He decided to stay late and help me fix the mess we made.
We're in the kitchen doing the dishes when he wraps his arms around my body and pulls my back towards him.
I can't keep going like this.
"Shawn, I need to talk to you.
-Anything Al.
-I'm dating Luke."
With that he lets go of me and stands a few feet away his eyes searching mine .
"Since when, a month or so into the tour.
-Why didn't you say anything?
-Because, I still don't want people to know.
-That's why you never said I love you back.
-Shawn , I'm sorry I just wanted to tell you face to face.
-Thanks.
-In a good way or s bad way?
-Good. You thought about my feelings. About the difference the news would turn out if they came by phone or by face to face.
-So you're not mad?
-No, how could I be mad at you. Alex I knew I would end up losing you to someone sooner or later and I don't known if that's something good or bad. But I was hoping to. You deserve way better than me.
-Shawn can you please shut up! Okay , I might not be madly in love with you but you are great in every way and you should really stop underestimating yourself.
-Al..
-No , Shawn ! I mean it.
-I Alex . Okay I get it but I knew I would lose you one day. I was scared to tell you how I felt. I lost my temper on you on purpose sometimes so you would say or do something that would make me hate. But you wouldn't say anything. You would just listen or push away your hurt feelings. That's when I couldn't handle it and I would push you away. I did all of that because I was scared of hurting. I would lie and say I was scared of hurting you. But , Alex I'm a selfish person another reason why I wanted you to find someone else. I also tried pushing you away so you could hate me. I was scared of hurting myself..."

His words were burning tattoos on my brain. He was of hurting himself in the process of telling me how he felt.

"Why the change of heart?
-Because , I realized that you are worth heartbreak. But I guess when I told you I was to late.
-So what does this mean?"
I ask while pointing at the both of us.

"It means that you have a boyfriend and that we won't be anything any time soon.
-So we're still besties?
-Yeah."
The smile in his face calms me down. So I haven't lost my best friend.

"Anyways I have to go.
-Thanks for the hand.
-Anytime."
I walk him to the door he hugs me goodbye and opens the door. He looks at me a smirk on playing on his face.

"Doesn't mean I won't try to win you back.
-I .."
And with that he closes the door
What will he do?
