I swayed my hips to the beat of the music; which was blaring through the loud speakers of one of the more popular clubs in the city. Shawn was dancing besides me, his arm protectively wrapped around my waist to warn off any unwanted visitors, however he was only my best friend.
I didn't see him like that though.
We had been friends for years and as every cliche love story goes, I fell in love with my best friend but he doesn't see me in the same light.
He flashed me a smile as I continued to dance against him; the alcohol was buzzing through my veins. His curly locks were starting to stick to his forehead due to the humidity of the club and the black t-shirt he was wearing clung to his biceps.
"Shawn," He looked down at me. "I'm going the toilet, I'll be right back." I yelled over the music as I gestured in the direction of the toilet. He nodded and unravelled his arm from me and taking my drink.
"Okay, Be careful." He said as he sat down in the booth with our friends and instantly became engaged in the conversation.

Once my lipstick was reapplied and my face was freshly powdered, I stepped out of the bathroom and my heart stopped. From across the dance floor, I could see Shawn leaning into another girl who was absolutely breathtaking. Her long hair danced down her back and her tall, model like figure made me look like a flump. They weren't kissing, they weren't dancing, they were just in close proximity to each other and getting slightly more touchy as the song went on. I knew I shouldn't be upset because we're just friends but I couldn't stop myself from tearing up.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and made a point of walking past them and bumping into Shawn.
Petty, I know.
His head snapped around to look at me as I glanced over my shoulder at him and walked out of the club. I could feel his eyes on me as I continued to leave. I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing but I continued to walk on to the streets which were glistening with rain and the fluorescent lights.
A soft hand grasped onto my wrist twisting me around to face them.
"y/n? What's wrong?" Shawn asked. "Why are you leaving?"
"Nothing, in fine. Just wanted air." I said as I tugged at my bottom lip and looked down.
"y/n, please don't lie to me." He brought his hand up to my cheek and I closed my eyes. We were close, closer than we'd ever been before; our chests basically flat against each other. I used the palms of my hands to push him away.
"Did you really not notice?" I spat.
"What?"
"That girl was all over you."
"And?"
"And, you didn't realise how much it would hurt me when I saw you both together."
"I didn't think you would care." He shrugged.
"Well I do."
"Why?"
"Because I love you."
"As my bestfriend" he added to clarify.
"No, Shawn, I love you as more than a friend."
He stopped. Everything stopped. My heart stopped and he just stared at me. His chest occasionally rose and fell before tears started to trickle out my eyes.
"y/n, I-"
"No, it's fine." I wiped away the tears and sniffled. "Go back inside and have fun. I'll call you in the morning."
His hand latched onto my wrist again and pulled me back. However, I was trapped between his tall figure and a wall; his hand resting on my waist and one hand besides my head.
"y/n, please don't run again. I'm too tired" I let out a small laugh and he smiled. The atmosphere between us changed drastically as his eyes bored into mine and I felt myself shift under his stare.
He was analysing my features, trying to figure out how I felt and the right thing to say. I have never felt intimidated around him or self conscious. His hand gently brushed against my face and placing a stray hair behind my ear.
"But also, if you run away again how am I meant to tell you how much I love you back?"
"Maybe you can just show me" I chuckled, a blush rising to my cheeks as I brushed my hand through his hair.
"Oh" he said as he bit his lip. "My pleasure"
