 Three days have come and gone and now I'm in my room, thinking about how pathetic I am for not telling Shawn how I truley feel. He's leaving. Today. And I can't find the balls to talk to him. Ever since that night on the balcony, I haven't spoken to him yet. Whenever I try to, he finds a way to blow it off. It's really starting to piss me off.

Shawn leaves in three hours. Three fucking hours. What the hell am I to do?

"Call his ass up and talk to him." Mae screamed through the phone. I've been ranting to her ever since that night and everytime she tells me to go and talk to him.

"That's the thing though. He doesn't want to talk. He's been ignoring me. " I mumble the last part to myself.

"That's it." I hear her say on the other end before I heard a click, signaling that she had ended the call. I rolled my eyes and tossed my phone on my bed. Hopefully she doesn't do anything too crazy.

~Shawn's POV~

There's something between us? Something between us? Am I fucking stupid? Why in the hell would you just bring something like that up. It's Adeline Causley, aka my best friends sister. Never in a million years would she look at me like that, let alone Colton would let me look at her like that.

It's been three days, and I've been trying my best to ignore her. If I distance myself from her, then maybe my feelings will go away. Maybe I can't get over the fact that I'm possibly the worst friend ever.

I've been packing all morning long, trying to keep my mind off of things. But all I keep thinking about how I left us. My head has been pounding and I feel like I'm going to be sick.

My bed looked so warm and inviting, so I flopped my body on it ans stared at the celing.

"Dammit Mendes, get your shit together." I mumbled to myself while rubbing my face with my hands.

"Shawn!" I heard a voice from the stairwell. It kinda sounded like-

"Mae?" I questioned as she opened the door. More like shoved the door.

"What the fuck is wrong with you." She was pissed. Her face was red, her hair looked like she had ran here, and she was breathing heavily.

"Whoa, what did I do?" I raised myself up from the bed. She laughed.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe play with Adelines emotions?" My whole body went numb. She told her? No shit Ads would tell her, it's her best friend.

"Look," I said, raising my hands up, "I'm trying to distance myself from her." She shoved me.

"Distance yourself? You're going on tour for like, I don't know like, 5 months-"

"Six months." I interrupted her, "Then I take a week for Christmas then I'm back on for four months."

"Exactly my point. I thought you like her Shawn." She said, more calmly. I groaned and threw my head back. Of course I like her. She's perfect.

"That's my point. I like her so much that I can't be with her. Don't you understand? She's my best friends sister. No way in hell would Colton ever let me near her if he knew I liked her. And, another reason I can't be with her, is because she doesn't like me. AND, she deserves so much better." I finished with a deep breath. She looked at me for a moment, then smacked me. She fucking smacked me.
