07 | Shawn's Song

^Shawn with his guitar, singing to me

Charlotte and I waited for Evie and Ella, but they weren't coming out. So we decided to go in.

Evie was sobbing over the sink. All I could think about was how I mentioned Shawn and I, I don't think that would upset her unless she really likes him.

"Hey, Evelyn, Im sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." I said while resting my hand on her shoulder.

She didn't say anything. And she ignored me for the rest of the day.

-After school--

I met Shawn at his lockers like we usually do and we walked out.

"Today, I mentioned to my girls that you and me are getting close, and then Evie went all sad and jealous. I tried to talk to her but she's ignoring me." I was concerned about Evie, and I felt like Shawn could tell me why she was crying.

"Aw, Tay. I'm not sure what thats about. She has been texting me a lot lately and I'm prett-"

"You've been texting her?" I asked

"Well, yeah. Look Taylor, I need to make friends, not just you." He said looking down at his feet.

"Its fine. Can we go to your place today? I want to hear you sing."

"Sure. But the singing thing... maybe." He winked at me and then started to laugh.

We got to his house and went up to his bedroom. Nobody was home and I wanted to hear his singing voice soooo bad.

I saw that his guitar, bed and a few clothes were the only things unpacked from his boxes. He really did love his guitar, if it was the first thing he unpacked.

"So," I gestured at the guitar, "wanna play me a song?"

"I guess so." he said as if I just told him he had to do a chore.

He picked up the guitar and started strumming a beautiful tune.

"Ive been working on this one for a while..." He said, still keeping his fingers in motion on the strings.

{chorus of the song he played}

"We don't have to be ordinary,

Make your best mistakes

'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry,

So baby be the life of the party"

"Wow," I said, starting to clap, "that was amazing Shawn!" I ran up to him and hugged him as he was putting the guitar back on its stand. he stood up and hugged me back.

I really liked him.

*FRONT DOOR OPENS*

We both let go to see who was here. It was Shawn's sister, she has gorgeous long brown hair. Im not sure what her name is though. Shawn hasn't told me about her yet.

"Hey Shawn," she waved from down the stairs, "Hi, I'm Aaliyah."

What a beautiful name.

"I'm Taylor." I said with a smile.

Aaliyah walked into the kitchen and I turned to Shawn.

"I really like you Shawn." I said, looking him in the beautiful brown eyes.

"And I really like you Taylor," he said, looking down at me, "wanna go out with me?"

Woah. I was shocked. What do I say?
