Shelax Fanfic- A Story About Love

Chapter 1

Shelby's P.O.V

I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I sighed. I'm so bored, I thought to myself. Shadow came up to my bed and barked, licking my hand. I smiled and pet his head. I heard a ding as I received a message on my phone. I grabbed my phone from the side table next to my bed; the message was from Ross.

Hey, are you busy?

I texted back, No, I'm just sitting in my room.

Well, I have a question. You know how you've been wanting to move out of your parents' house?

Um... yeah? Why?

Well, me and my roommates are moving into a bigger house, and I was wondering if you wanted to come and stay with us, because it's big enough to fit 5 people.

I looked at the phone for a moment before smiling.

Yeah, that would be awesome!

Well, you're going to have to come to Seattle.

Wait, Seattle? Why there?

Because that's where we live, silly.

I flopped back on my bed, thinking. Is it really worth it? I picked my phone back up.

Well... I'll have to find work if I move there with you.

Good news! You can come and work with us at SkyMedia.

That's great! When do I have to leave?

We're moving into our house tomorrow, so if you could get on the plane today that'd be great.

After we stopped texting and I got my ticket, I packed up the stuff that could fit in my suitcase: my clothes, some jewelry, makeup, my phone and earbuds, and a few other things. I grabbed my suitcase and walked down the stairs quietly. I was about to get to the door when Shadow barked and whined.

"Shelby, where are you going?"

I stopped and turned to my dad, who was sitting in the living room watching t.v.

"Oh, dad, I'm moving in with Ross and his roommates."

"And you were leaving without telling us? Where are you moving in with them?"

I blinked. "Um... the house is in Seattle."

"Seattle? No, you're not going," he demanded; his voice was angry.

"Dad, I'm twenty one years old; I can make my own decisions!" I ran out the door with my suitcase, Shadow barking. I had called a taxi before, so I put the stuff in the trunk and I got in. "To the airport please, and hurry."

After the flight

After getting my suitcase from the luggage area, I went outside and sat on a bench, waiting for Ross to come pick me up. It was almost dark, and I hoped he would get there soon.

Ross' car pulled up and he honked the horn at me. I got up and

walked over with my bag. I stuck the suitcase in the trunk and opened the passenger door. But instead of seeing Ross, I saw a guy with ginger hair and a black long-sleeved shirt. He was wearing a pendant with the letter Z on the end of it.

"Sorry, but who are you?" I asked.

"I'm one of Ross' roommates. I'm Max, and I suppose you're Shelby?"

I nodded before getting in the car and shaking his hand. "Yep, it's nice to meet you," I said, smiling and buckling up my seatbelt. "So why isn't Ross here to pick me up?"
