Never Be Alone: Book One

Chapter 10: Growing Attraction

That day I wasn't able to look at Shawn the same way again. My growing attraction to him was starting to become unbearable. It was times like these I really sort of wished Shawn had never found me.

"Isabelle?" I could hear a voice on the other side of the door feminine and concerned, my first guess was Mahogany. I tried to wipe away my tears getting up off the floor I opened to door for the curly haired red head standing on the other side, she looked at me dead in the eyes and engulfed me in a hug. pulling away I wipe my tears away and look at her still in her clothes form earlier at rehearsal the only difference was she now had her DJ headphones around her neck.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Well when Shawn came back without you I figured something was wrong he looked so beat up about something, and when we asked where you were he had said you had run off. I decided to look for you here I kinda figured you wouldn't go anywhere else, so what happened." She lead me to the closets bed and sat me down.

"I swear you can't tell Shawn."

"I promise now spill" I took a deep breath before speaking.

"I don't honestly know one minute Shawn's dragging me away form Jack G then the next were almost kissing. I haven't ever felt like this before even with Seth which was only a small attraction anyways, I feel like my chest is going to explode into a million pieces..." She continued to look at me.

"What are you trying to say?" I though for a moment my mind replaying all the moments Shawn and I had shared together, I then looked her in the eye and sealed my fate.

"I'm in love with Shawn."

*Shawn's POV*

"I swear you can't tell Shawn."

"I promise now spill" I stood by the open door listening to what needed to be said, I felt so bad eavesdropping but I had to know why.

"I don't honestly know one minute Shawn's dragging me away form Jack G then the next were almost kissing. I haven't ever felt like this before even with Seth which was only a small attraction anyways, I feel like my chest is going to explode into a million pieces..." She continued I listened in quietly.

"What are you trying to say?" There was a pause like Issy was thinking hard about something, I heard her take a deep breath before continuing.

"I'm in love with Shawn." My heart stopped those words made everything stop she was in love with me Isabelle Parker my best friend since kindergarten, the girl I've loved and have been pawning over since third grade was in love with me. I almost screamed out of joy, almost running in there wanting to tell her how I felt. But something stopped me.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I guess it took me until now to realize I had feelings for him. I just don't think he sees me in that way." I was baffled have I not been making my feelings clear?

"Well man up and tell him." I chuckled quietly at Mahogany's bluntness, she really amazed me with her straightforwardness.

"You know what Mahogany I will i'm going over there right now to talk to him and tell him how i feel I just hope if he doesn't have the same type of feelings it doesn't hurt our friendship." I bolted to my room quickly and quietly, jumping on my bed a begin to play my guitar regaining myself. Moments later I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in." I call keeping my self as casual as I can.

"Shawn?"

*Isabelle's POV*

I knock on the door with just enough force to, get his attention but just soft enough so I didn't sound like hotel security with a bunch of armed guards at the door waiting to tear him limb from limb.

"Come in" I walked in and looked around the room Shawn was sitting on one of the beds strumming the guitar when I walked in.

"Shawn. We need to talk." He looked at me curiously, setting down his guitar he pats the side of the bed.

"Then let's talk." Okay deep breaths Isabelle you got this just tell him how you feel and wait for his reaction.
