Saved By You

Chapter twenty

Chapter twenty

Shawn and I keep walking through the rows of tents until the sun starts to set. We pass by a performer who is singing a cover of "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars. He is playing the guitar along with it. Shawn and I sit down on a bench near a tree.

"You were really good." I tell him. He smiles and faces me.

"Thank you. Listen, if you think that I am trying to 'steal' you from Matt, I'm not. I'll admit it, I did like you. But when I heard that Matt and you were dating, I let it be." He says.

"Oh. I'm sorry." I say.

"Don't be sorry. There is no reason to." He says.

"Yeah there is. I didn't know."

"So you're saying, if you knew that I liked you, you'd pick me over Matt?"

"Shawn..."i trail off.

He stands up and nods his head for me to come with him. I stand and follow behind him in a crowd that is gathered around the stage. We walk passed them and he turns towards me.

"Do you want to take off? It's seven." He asks.

"Uh, sure." I smile. We get into his car and he starts driving. He turns on the radio and a song by Paramore comes on. Shawn and I don't talk throughout the drive. He parks on the sidewalk when we reach my house. "Thank you. For everything, Shawn." I say before getting out of the car. I close the door and walk to the front door of my house. I open it and see my dad asleep on the couch with the T.V. on. I turn it off and pull a blanket over him.

I walk down the hallway to my room and close the door. I grab my phone and view my social media, which includes only Twitter.

"@CassidyWaltz, you fat whore. Why don't you do yourself a favor and die already. #wasteofspace."

"I don't even get why @CassidyWaltz even has a twitter. It's not like anyone follows her."

"@CassidyWaltz, ANSWER THE FREAKING PHONE!! <3"

The last one is from a user that I haven't seen before. But I know who it is. @TheMattEspinosa. I look at his twitter and see that he has 3k followers. I only have ten.

I call Matthew and wait for him to pick up.

"Did you see?" he asks excitedly.

"Your twitter?" I ask.

"Yes! I have freaking three thousand followers! And on Vine I got 3.5k."

"How did you get so many?"

"Just by making this one Vine. People liked it and started following me. It's the same with Nash, Carter, Taylor, and everyone! Nash's dad saw and he got really excited about it."

"That's, awesome, Matthew."

"How did it go with Shawn?"

"Fine. We walked around, he sang, and he might have told me that he likes me..."

"He what?"

"He told me that he likes me."

"Why? What did you say?"

"I don't know why and I just told him I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry?"

"I just didn't know what to say."

"Oh. Well, how about we do something? Tomorrow after school."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Stop."

"Fine."

"Fine." I say and I end the call.

I place my phone on my nightstand and take a shower. I change into yoga pants, even though I don't do yoga, and a green tank top. I lay down and read a book called If I Stay.
