Something Real (A Shawn Mendes Fanfiction)

Part Seventeen: One Eventful Night

So right now me and Shawn have just arrived at the art gallery with everyone else. Shawn came around and opened my door for me and helped me out of the car. He interlaced our fingers and we met with everyone else.

"Are you guys ready to go? We already let Martha know that you two would be here so she got plenty of security." Karen said making sure we were okay with that.

"Who's Maratha?" I asked looking at Shawn.

"She's the owner of the gallery." I nodded and then we all went inside. Wes came and was walking next to me and Shawn which I didn't mind, but it was a little awkward for Shawn after what happened earlier. 

"Wow these paintings are beautiful!" Wes said pointing to one. 

"Yeah it really is." I said walking over to it. I hadn't noticed that I had let go of Shawns hand. He came walking to where me and Wes were and wrapped is arms around me and hugged me from the back.

"Yeah but none of this can possibly compare to you're beauty." He said kissing my cheek.

"Oh hey look over here!" Wes said pulling me away. I almost tripped and fell. 

"Are you okay?" Shawn said grabbing my arm before I could fall. I nodded hoping that no one saw that.

 After a while Wes went and started talking to some people and so me and Shawn went and started looking around by ourselves.

"So what do you think?" I asked Shawn as we kept walking around the gallery.

"Of what?" He looked at me and then kept looking around at the art.

"Of Wes. Do you think that you guys could be friends?" 

"Well if he stops trying to steal you away from me then yeah maybe we could be." Shawn sounded almost aggravated. 

"What do you mean? Shawn I already told you there isn't  anything going on with me and Wes." I stopped walking and was now looking at Shawn.

"Maybe not on your part, but I know for a fact he is trying to break us up. He keeps talking about how you two dated, and he keeps saying how you guys have so much in common. Almost all night he's been pulling you away from me!" 

"Shawn you are insane! He isn't trying to break us up! He knows how much I like you, he knows we are just friends. Did it ever occurred  to you that maybe he just missed me as a friend and is trying to catch up with me AS A FRIEND!" I was trying not to be too loud but I was angry right now.

"Has it ever occurred to you that you are just to freakin naive to realize that he still likes you?! I'm not going to be friends with him, and I don't really want you being friends with him either." When he said that I almost slapped him.

"You can't tell me who I can and can't be friends with! You know what just forget this I'm leaving." I turned around and started to walk towards the exit. 

"Lexi wait!" I hear Shawn say. I kept walking until I was out the door.

I have no idea what to do. Shawn has the keys to his car and everyone is inside, I really don't want to go back in there.

I guess I'll start walking. 

I looked around to see if there were any cars passing by and then I crossed the street. There was a step up onto the sidewalk that I didn't see and I ended up tripping. 

I fell to the ground and I ended up hurting my ankle, and scrapping my knee. I started to cry and I just sat there on the ground crying.

I took off my shoes because they were hurting my feet. When I went to take off my left shoe it hurt really bad because that was the ankle I had hurt.
