SHAWNS POV:
After having a few shots, I realize Emily isn't next to me anymore. I see Mahogany on the dance floor and yell over the music frantically asking where she is.
"I thought she was upstairs with you?!" She laughs.
"FUCK MAHOGANY NO WE HAVE TO FIND HER." I grab Mahogany's hand and we run upstairs frantically looking for Emily.
My mind is filled with multiple emotions. I'm fuzzy because I've had too much to drink, I'm worried because Emily could get hurt, but part of me also thinks maybe she knew it wasn't me, and is sleeping around. Maybe she doesn't care about me and the kiss and flirting meant nothing. I have to find her...I have to find her!!
EMILYS POV
Jackson wouldn't get off of me and wouldn't stop kissing me. He managed to get off my shirt and began to grope me. Tears flooded my face and I kept trying to fight and get him off of me, but he was too strong. Nothing worked. I was about to give up as he continued to trace down my body when a door flew open.
"Emily?!?"
It was Shawn. He looked like he thought that I was doing this on purpose. He looked so torn apart and broken.
"What the fuck man?!" Jackson yelled just as Shawn threw the perfect punch at his jaw, making him pass out and collapse off the bed and onto the floor.
Shawn looked hurt until he got close enough to see my destroyed makeup and tears. I was only in a bra and I was mortified. I mean he's seen me in a bikini but this was not the way I wanted Shawn to see me, ever. He's my best friend.
Mahogany is confused and drunk but says she'll give us time, and goes to find the boys.
Shawn picked my shirt up off the floor and I put it on, turning red.
He sat on the bed cris-cross in front of me. He was so angry but was trying me mask it from me, as I was just violated.
"Are you hurt?"
"No"
"Are you lying"
"No" I managed to get out but I bursted into tears.
Shawn grabbed me and held me tight as I cried and cried.
"He didn't do anything other than... touch me but it was so scary... and I kept yelling and yelling and you didn't come... I thought he was gonna..." I kept crying into Shawn.
"Shhh.. I'm so sorry Emily. I should've been there for you and I'm so sorry. I'm here now. When he wakes up he's gonna get it. It's ok babe."
I cried and then realized... he called me babe.
"You called me babe."
"Oh, sorry."
"I liked it."
"I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you tonight. I feel terrible. I know you hate parties."
"I love you Shawn."
"Wh-what?"
"I love you. But can we please leave I just wanna be alone right now."
"Let's go."
Shawn grabs my hand and leads me out, I'm shaking the whole time. I shook until we got in the Jeep.
"Do you really love me?"
"I have for a while Shawn. As friends forever but now I don't know. I mean the kiss then the constant flirting and you just saved me from possibly getting..."
My ranting was cut off by Shawn's sweet lips meeting mine. I felt so safe. We kissed for a while and ran our hands through each other's hair. We stopped after a while.
"But you weren't. I'm kind of Superman. I saved you." Shawn laughs. "Spend the night at my place because if your mom sees you like this your screwed."
He's right, although we both sobered up fast, my mom can't see me like this. Shawn takes us to his house and texts my mom I'm staying over. She doesn't suspect anything because we do it all the time so we're golden.
When there, everyone else is already asleep so we sneak upstairs and get changed. I steal one of Shawn's hoodies and dig out some shorts I've left here and go change and Shawn does the same. I usually sleep in the guest room but I really want to be near Shawn right now. He saved me and I need him. I climb into bed and he gives me a confused look along with a smirk.
"Why are you in my bed missy?"
"Because I'm sleepy!" I laugh back.
Shawn jumps on me and tickles me to no end. I have a mix of butterflies and laughter sending me over the edge. Typically I would want him to get off, but I want his hands all over me. Maybe that's the alcohol talking though. This best friends thing has to go though seriously all this flirting and cuddling lately is sending my hormones wild. When Shawn is done, he flips over and wraps his hands around my waist, bringing me into a warm, protective embrace. Geez I could stay here forever.
With everything I just went through, I feel like he just melted it all away.
"Hey Emily," he whispers
"Yeah Shawn,"
"I love you too."
He places a little peck on my ear, and we fall asleep together, at peace.
