Friend Zoned || Shyland Fanfiction 《✔》

chapter twenty

Shane's POV

I stirred as I heard my phone alarm go off, reminding me that today was the big day. My boss wanted to come into work an hour before my check-in time, so that he could have enough time to review my script and start getting it finalized. I wasn't worried this time around as I went above and beyond.

I rubbed my eyes with my fists and got my eyes use to the setting. I felt a bit of pressure on my chest as I saw Ryland curled up into me. I smiled, and slowly detached myself away from him. I heard him let out a little whine as I then placed a kiss onto his forehead. 

I closed the bathroom door behind me and started up the shower. I undressed myself and got in, washing my hair and body before dying off and going out the room to my closet. My job didn't have a dress policy but that they did have to be clothes that you can easily wear in public. I threw on some skinny dark blue jeans, a maroon shirt, and then I slipped on my white vans.

I went back to the restroom and dried my hair, styling it to my liking. I then smelt something coming from the kitchen and I walked out the room. I saw that Ryland was cooking breakfast and I smiled as he was just in a really, really over-sized hoodie and of course boxers. I snaked my arms around him, and buried my head into neck, placing kisses all over him.

"Stop it. I have work today too, and I can't be looking like I got attacked." He joked, as he playfully pushed me away from him.

"But I love you" I whined, extending the u out, making it more dramatic than it actually was. "And I just want to show you."

"I love you too, but you can show me later." Ryland joked, rolling his eyes as he went back to his cooking. "Now, get yourself a plate and let's eat breakfast before you go."

"No one eat's breakfast at 4:30 in the morning." I sassed, grabbing the both of us plates from the cabinet. 

"You don't know that. Have you asked every single human in this world?" He asked, putting his hands on his hips. "I think not."

I playfully rolled my eyes at him as we served ourselves and sat down at the dining table. We ate and were so engrossed into a conversation until it became 4:50 and I need to be at work in thirty minutes to have the rest of the time to get up into the building and head up into the big office that belonged to my boss. 

"Shoot, I got to go, I'll be back home by three this afternoon." I said, standing up from my chair and placing a kiss onto Ryland's lips. 

"Can't you go in later today? I want to spend more time with you." He pouted, sticking out his bottom lip. 

"I wish I could, but you know this script is really important. Once I come home today, all attention then belongs to you." I spoke, placing my plate in the sink.

I headed back to the room and brushed my teeth quickly, and grabbing my backpack that held everything. I threw my script inside and grabbed my phone off of the nightstand. I walked out the room and Ryland was still in the chair pouting. I frowned, and made my way over to him. 

"Listen, smile baby. You look more beautiful when you do." I said, making him smile and his cheeks turned a slight red. "I love you."

"I love you too." He answered, pulling me in for a passionate kiss. 

I smiled at him before walking out the door. I headed down the steps and it started to suddenly raining out of no where. Luckily, I had a jacket inside my car. I ran towards my car and got in, starting up the car and driving off. After a couple of minutes, the rain got heavier and I just turned my radio up louder, blocking out the rain's sound. 

The only part I hated about going to work everyday was the arriving part. I had to drive down long roads and they had curves to them that you could miss if not paying attention, and it was dark so that was even scarier. I somehow managed to block that all out with music and I passed by it in minutes without even thinking about it. 

I heard my phone buzz from the pocket of my backpack. I kept the stirring wheel steady as I tried grabbing out of the pocket. I managed to slip it out as it was a message from Ryland. I know they say 'don't text and drive' but the road was empty so I opened the message up.

Ryland: Don't forget your promises baby :) I love you. Have a good day at work x

I looked up again, not seeing any headlights as I went back to the message. I smiled at the smiley face he put in. I started to type in my text with one hand, looking up to see a clear road again. I kept my other hand on the wheel and I proof-read my message before hitting the send button.

Shane: I love you too, you never forget that either. no matter what happens, you're will always be my love. xx <3

I smiled at my response, knowing that he would love it just as much as I did writing it. I saw that he read it and the little three dots showed up on the screen. I wanted to his response so I kept my eyes on the screen. I then heard a big honk as I looked up to see a car in the wrong lane and going so fast that I had no time to react. 

The car had hit with a huge impact that it sent my car to flip backwards multiple times. My head was hitting everything that it could and everything was in slow motion. My car suddenly stopped and I felt like I was upside down. Everything was spinning and blurry, and I couldn't remember anything that had just happened.

I was going in and out of consciousness and I heard sirens in the background. I wasn't in pain, I was completely numb. As if, I was brain-dead and that my brain was out of it. I grew extremely tired and I just gave up. I closed my eyes, and took another breath before finally it went completely dark.
