Chapter Twenty-One

Shayne's P.O.V.

I was having a pretty bad day. I wanted Rosi to go to Disneyland with me yesterday, but apparently she had to do something for Smosh, so I ended up going with Lana. It was atrocious. Today though, something felt off. I don't know what it was. 

"Guys, let's go to the meeting room. We will be showing off Courtney and Rosimar's music video." Anthony smiled as he walked out of the lounge. Noah and Rosi held hands, and Courtney and Keith did the same. Olivia was walking with Anthony as they spoke about god knows what. I walked closely behind the group.

"I am so excited for the fans to see how talented you are, Rosi!" Court shouted with a smile. Rosi blushed, and hummed.

"I am excited for them to see our work." Rosi responded with a giggle.

"Oh yeah! Shayne, you haven't seen any of it! I can't wait for you to see!" Keith smiled. I furrowed my eyebrows and nodded slowly.

Noah's P.O.V

Keith was playing it well. Everyone from the squad, except for Shayne, knew about the whole get Shayne jealous plan. They were sure it would work, but a part of me had a feeling that it wasn't. He seems happy with his girl, but at the same time, we are all actors for a reason. Shayne is skilled.

Shayne's P.O.V

We walk into the meeting room. Everyone is there. Everyone had a smile. Some of them had not heard Rosi's voice. Damien stood next to me as he kissed Boze on the cheek. She quickly scurried away with Mari.

A video started to play. In the video, Courtney was standing with very comfy clothes. A big shirt, sweatpants, and vans. Courtney's voice soon filled the room. Courtney's voice was truly beautiful. It was indeed worth listening. Soon enough the scene switched to Noah and Rosi. She was singing beautifully. It was such a gorgeous melody. Then I see that she is seated on Noah's lap. She had not clothes on, other than underwear. His arm was positioned to cover her chest from the camera. Then their faces inched closer and closer. Their lips touched. The scene alternated between Courtney and Rosi. I was shocked. Everyone was saying ouuuu, and I was in complete silence. I was angry. What kind of shit is this? He is not supposed to be kissing her. They are best friends.

"Shayne, are you okay?" I look up to be met with green eyes. My eyes narrowed. 

"Get the fuck away from me. You fucking son of a bitch." Noah looked appalled, but I could not care less.

"Hey, man. Chill, Shayne. Why are you so mad?" Damien asked when hearing my words. I slammed my hand against the table, as everyone glared at me. I looked around as I clenched my fists. I stood up and shoved Noah with my shoulder. I walked out of the meeting room, and slammed the door shut.

"Shayne, can you tell me what the fuck is going on?" Damien asked. I rolled my eyes. Why did he have to follow me?

"It is complicated." He scoffed,

"What is? That you like Rosi, but won't admit it because your dumbass decided, 'let me be in a committed relationship with this woman that I only used for sex.' Is that what is complicated?! You fucked up, Shayne. You let go of a special girl because you wanted too. She could have been yours. Those kisses could have been yours and not Noah's. Those words could have been sung to you and not to Noah. Those intense scenes could have been for you, and Rosi to share, but those are Noah's memories now. It is not their fault. You decided to be a dumbass, and think that life will reward you for being a fucking asshat, but no! Life doesn't work that way. You are lucky she even talks to your stupid ass. Do you not realize everything you made that beautiful girl go through? Do you not understand that before all of this," He moved his pointer finger in a circle, "You were her reason to wake up every single fucking day. You were the reason to show up to work on time. You were the reason for her actually wanting to work. You were her reason to stay around for so long. You were the reason for a smile to play on her lips every single day, and you dare sit there and be angry at her and Noah when you were the one who fucked everything up. You have changed you know? What happened to you? You let go of yourself big time, and simultaneously let go of the best girl out there for you. So, don't you dare cause a huge scene at work, over something that happened because of your own fucking actions!" I was speechless. Damien had never talked to me this way in the six years of being friends with the guy. When we both turned around, we were met by everyone. They all looked at us with mouths agape. I looked down at the floor as Damien walked away with a scoff.

"Damien!" He turned around, and stood still.

"Shayne," He shakily pushed his in front of him before he continued, "just stay the fuck away from me." He turned around and walked away towards what seemed like the lounge. I sighed, as he turned into another corridor. I rubbed my face, and looked at all of them.

Boze walked out from the silent crowd and stood in front of me. 

"Why can't you just admit to your feelings? You are hurting so many people around you. You don't realize the harm that you cause. When will it end? When everyone has left you alone?" I looked into her eyes, as her own, watered. She walked away to go get Damien. I looked at all of them again and they all shook their heads at me. I turned around and started to walk towards the lounge. When I walked in, there sat Damien. His face in his hands and Boze sitting next to him, and hugging him as best as she could. Boze looked at me, and then looked back down at Damien. She laced her fingers through his brown hair. I walked past them and grabbed my backpack. I needed to leave, and now.
