The Social Gods | On Hold

2

I wake up and Shawn's arms are still wrapped around me. It must be pretty late because the sunlight fills my room. I look over to the clock and see it's eleven thirty. Oh fuck my dad will probably come if I don't get up. I shake my head at the thought, I forgot my parents don't give a shit about me. I remove Shawn's arm from me, allowing me to now slid out of bed. I move slowly so that I won't wake him. I scurry to the bathroom.

After I brush my teeth and brush out my hair I head out my room, down the hall to the guest room. I peer in the room and see Maddi still knocked out.

There is a knocking on the door down stairs so I hurry down hoping the noise didn't wake anyone.

Why are people always coming over my house with out warning. 

I open the door to find Luke standing there along with Taylor, Cameron, and Nash. "What do y'all want?" I say coldly. I haven't eaten yet so my inner bitch has tripled in size. "I see you haven't had breakfast yet." Nash says. I give him an unhappy smile.

(You know when you smile but the happiness doesn't meet your eyes? Yeah that's what an unhappy smile is.)

I open the door widen and walk away. They know automatically that's an invitation in.

"Hey, have you heard from Shawn?" Taylor asks when I'm halfway up the stairs. I look down to see him standing there with Luke.

Should I tell them he's in my room? Should I tell them he spent the night here like always? Awe what the hell if Luke does want anything from me he should know.

"Yeah he's sleeping upstairs."

Okay so maybe I didn't say any details. Sue me for finding Luke attractive and not wanting him to think I'm a total slut.

Taylor nods and then guides Luke towards the kitchen. Luke keeps looking up at me as he walks though. Once they are out of sight I sprint up the stairs two at a time. I first run to Maddi. I wake her up and tell her Nash is her. She rushes to the bathroom, the shower water begins to run.

I head back to my room to find Shawn about to leave my room in only his boxers.

"Shawn what are you doing?" I whisper scream.

"Um going downstairs to mess with the guys." He responds slowly.

"No you can't! Luke's here and I don't want him having the wrong idea about us."

Shawn furrows his eyebrows. "And what idea would that be?"

I could hear the hurt in his voice. I get that Shawn wants to be with me, I do. I mean I have feelings for Shawn, I did lose my virginity to him after all, but I'm just not a relationship type of girl. I wouldn't know when to text you or when to hold your hand. I wouldn't call you every night or say "I love you". I'm just not the type of girl. Why can't Shawn understand that?

Before I can say anything Shawn walks past me. "Shawn" I say in a whiny way.

Damn I'm annoying my self.

"I didn't mean it like that and you know it." He's halfway down the stairs now. He looks back and mouths whatever to me.

I throw my head back and groan in frustration. I stomp downstairs like a child. I pretend I'm not upset when I walk in the kitchen. The boys instantly stop talking and look at me.

"Whoa there. At least pretend you weren't talking about me." I say annoyed. I head to the fridge and take out some orange juice.

"Hey Nic, you know what would be great?" Nash says cheerfully.
