~Your POV~
"Wait, what?" I asked in disbelief.
"It's over. I don't love you anymore," Connor said, straight faced. "I've been cheating on you for weeks."
I shook my head, tears threatening to roll down my cheeks. I was in shock. Me and Connor had been together for two and a half years. Now this. I didn't know what to do, how to react. I was completely broken, but I didn't want to cry in front of him.
I don't know why. I've cried in front of Connor a million times, this time it was different though. This time he was the one who hurt me, so instead on crying, I turned around and I ran. I ran away from Connor, away from his house, and to the first place that popped into my head.
Shawn
Shawn was my absolute best friend. We had been friends since 1st grade. His house was just down the road from Connor's, so I got there fairly quickly. After catching my breathe. I knocked on the door lightly. His mom answered.
"Oh, hi Y/N. What brings you here?" She smiled gently.
"Uhh, is Shawn here?" I asked, my voice cracking as I was close to being in tears.
"Yeah he's upstairs, are you alright? You seem upset," She said concerned.
"I'm okay, just tired," I faked a smile as she let me inside.
"Alright, well he's upstairs in his room right now," She replied and I thanked her quietly.
I made my way up the stairs, a frown taking over my face as soon as Karen couldn't see me. I walked through the hallway and to Shawn's door, opening it slowly. Shawn was laying on his bed, looking at the screen of his phone.
I closed the door behind me, immediately making my way over to him. He smiled when he saw me but his smile faded whenever he noticed that I was upset. I laid on top of him, wrapping my arms around his torso, and burying my head into his chest. Then I started to cry. Shawn's arms wrapped around me almost immediately.
"Hey, what's wrong," He asked, worry evident in his voice.
I shook my head, continuing to cry into his chest. I didn't want to talk right now. I just wanted him to hold me. So instead of asking again, he was quiet and let me cry. He stroked my hair softly, whispering comforting words into my ear. A few minutes later, I calmed down a bit.
"Hey," He said, causing me to look up at him. "What happened?"
"Connor, he broke up with me," I frowned, laying my head on his shoulder.
"What? What did he say?" He asked, his toned changed from worry to anger.
"H-He said that he doesn't love me anymore, and he's been cheating on me for weeks," I explained, tears starting to spill out of my eyes again.
"I'm gonna kill him," He whispered through gritted teeth.
Shawn and Connor never liked each other. They always end up fighting whenever they are together. One time it even got physical.
"No," I whined, hiding my face in his neck, "Just hold me please."
"Are you okay?" He asked, playing with my hair.
I just shrugged, closing my eyes. He kept he arms wrapped around me and, for the first time in a while, I felt at home. Safe. That's when I realized. I never felt this safe with Connor. He never made me feel this loved and cared about. I knew Shawn loved me as a best friend but it feels like so much more. I couldn't help but feel happy whenever I was with Shawn and that's all I could ever ask for.
Shawn held me for a few minutes, stroking my head and rubbing my back, comfortingly.
"Y/N, would you think I was crazy if I told you I was in love with you?" Shawn asked, causing my eyes to widen.
"What?" I replied, furrowing my eyebrows together and looking up at him.
"Would you?" He repeated, smiling nervously.
"Yes," I laughed.
"Well, I guess you think I'm crazy," He responded.
"W-What do you mean?" I asked, knowing exactly what he meant.
"I'm in love with you, Y/N. I'm so in love with you. I have been for years, but you've been with Connor. I knew that he would hurt you and it killed me. I've been waiting for this to happen. I've tried to tell you that he was going to hurt you one day but you stayed with him. That's why I've never liked him. And now that he left I can tell you that I love you," He finished his speech leaving me speechless.
I didn't know what to think or what to say. In an impulsive moment, I reached up, gently pressing my lips to his. I could tell that he was taken back at first but only for the shortest of seconds. He kissed me back, and I immediately melted under his touch.
Like earlier, I felt at home again. Like this is what it was supposed to be. In that moment, it felt like nothing else mattered. I didn't care anymore about what Connor did or how he felt. All I cared about was me and Shawn. That is when I realized that I was also in love with my best friend.
I reached my hand up, caressing his cheek as he continued to kiss me. After we pulled back, we were both smiling like idiots.
"I love you too," I whispered, resting my forehead on his.
"I figured by the way you reacted," He joked, wrapping his arms around my waist.
I laughed a little, nuzzling my face into his neck.
"I'm guessing you wouldn't mind being my girlfriend then, would you?" He suggested.
"Absolutely," I smiled, placing soft kisses on the skin of his neck.
