"Brielle! Where have you been?" My good, if not best friend Brett ask from behind me.

"Oh hey Brett!" I smile at him and he rolls his eyes. I furrow my brows.

"I've texted you, called you. Were you ignoring me all weekend?" Brett asks and I look down at my phone and to my messages.

"Oh my gosh Brett I didn't even see them I'm sorry."

"Yeah you should be. I was worried." He says and I sigh.

"It's ok I was with Shawn all weekend." I say and Brett gives me a look.

"You're kidding right?" He pretty much scoffs and I furrow my brows together.

"No I'm not. What's so bad about that?" I ask and Brett rolls his eyes.

"Shawn's one of them Brielle." He says and I shake my head. "He may be putting up that 'I'm not one of them' act but it's not real. He just wants to get in your pants." Brett scoffs and I sigh.

"Ya know what, whatever Brett. You don't even know him."

"I know enough!"

"He saved me when Luke- never mind." I stop myself, realizing Brett doesn't know.

"When Luke what? Oh are we keeping secrets now? Is Shawn your new best friend?" Brett says and I put my head in my hands.

"Brett I just really don't want to talk about it right now ok!" Brett's always been like this. If I started hanging around a guy, he gets defensive and jealous. It's who he is, I get it, but it was 2 days I didn't talk to him not forever.

"Whatever Brielle. Don't go running to me when Shawn just wants to hookup with you and dump you." Brett says harshly. I almost couldn't believe he said it but I understand that he's mad and probably not in the right headspace.

It wasn't until Shawn picked me up later that night that I could stop thinking about the Brett situation. My other friend Kelly said she would talk to him to cool him down but maybe he just needs space? I don't even know anymore.

"Are you sure you want me to come? It's not just going to cause more problems?" I ask Shawn as we drive to his hockey game.

"Bri any problem has been caused by me." He says and I nod.

"Uhhh I do have one favor to ask of you though." I say giving him a cheeky smile.

"Oh god what is it?" He playfully chuckles, glancing over at me.

"Can I borrow your hoodie? I think I underestimated how cold the arena would be considering it's ice and I can already tell I'll be freezing my ass off." I say and Shawn nods motioning towards the back seat. I reach behind for his obey hoodie, still having his cologne on it. I slip it over my head and cuddle up into it. "Thank you!"

"Anytime. Thanks for coming to my game. My family is still away surprisingly. They don't get back until tomorrow afternoon now." Shawn sighs and I begin to feel bad for him.

"Do you want to stay at my house? It must be creepy sleeping there all alone." I say and he just shrugs. Shawn's house was huge, if my house was that big I'd be scared.

"It's not bad. Thank you though." He smiles before pulling into a parking space. "Ready?" He asks and I nod.

We walk in, him carrying all his gear looking more attractive then usual.

Oh god Brielle keep it in your pants.

"Ok well here's where we part. You gonna cheer me on?" He asks and I chuckle nodding.
