"What are- I mean, you're- Uh" Lauren says followed by a laugh. "Hey" She says again

"Long time no see" I say smiling at her

"Yeah it seems like forever since I last saw you" She says

"How is-" I start to ask

"Y/n!" Ryan yells running up behind us

"Hey Ry" I laugh

"Shawn hey" Ryan says greeting him

"We really need to get everyone back together and hang, I miss you guys so much!" He says

"Ryan please, you text the group chat everyday" I laugh

"It's not enough dude. It's not enough" he says

"Hey So baby, they're posing for a pic and they asked me if we wanted to be in it" Ryan says

"Oh yeah sure" Lauren says. "Congratulations y/n... Shawn" she says as she walks away

"Yeah congratulations guys!" Ryan says

"Well that was-" Shawn starts to say

"You wanna ditch? I'm tired and hungry" I say

"Oh... yeah. We can leave if you want" Shawn hesitantly says

"Cool" I say grabbing his hand and walking out

I couldn't help it. The second I saw her all those old feelings came rushing back. Me and Shawn were building a future together but now that I had seen her again, she was the only thing that I was thinking of.

"So I was thinking, we should really start furnishing the house. I can't wait until-"

"Shawn I'm bisexual" I blurt out interrupting him

"What?" He says

"I'm bisexual and all those rumors about Lauren and I were true. We dated" I say

"Umm..." he says confused

"You don't have to say anything I just wanted you to know" I say

"Y/n-" he says

"And I know this complicates things but I'm over it and I love you and-"

"Y/n!" He yells

"Did you lover her?" He asks

"... yes" I say

"Do you still love her?" He asks

"... no" I say

I didn't know if I fully believed my words but, I had to try.

"Then I don't care." He says

"What?" I ask

"Y/n, I don't care if you are bisexual, I don't care if you used to love Lauren. All I care about is if you love me" He says. "Do you?" He asks

"You know I do" I say

"Then okay then" he smiles

"Okay then" I smile back

We then sat in a comfortable silence for a second. He was everything I could ever hope for and more... so why didn't he feel like home?

"Okay then"
