SHAWN'S POV
It has been good.
It's been weeks since Nash was released from the hospital, and he is now living a happy, cancer-free life with Cam.
On top of that, Jack Gilinsky has come out to us, saying that he's gay and that he's been trying to figure out his feelings for a long time. But recently, he's telling us about this girl he met and he's all confused again. So as for now, he's in a fine line between gay and bisexual.
February approaches tomorrow, and I'm honestly worried.
Because February 3rd is Taylor's birthday.
Taylor and I haven't been in good terms since that fight. When Nash rose from the dead, he cried and I just had to hug him. But after that, we just went back to ignoring each other, pretending the other doesn't exist.
You see, the thing with Taylor is that he has this massive ego. He pretends to be all tough and he pretends to not care about what people think about him, but under that shell is a vulnerable, little boy. I know this because I have seen it.
I have seen him cry and complain, I've seen him curse and blame himself for things that happened. I've seen him break down and I've seen him need my help, he needs my touch, my love. And I guess that's what I'm here for.
I just honestly don't understand why he has to be such a douche sometimes, even around me.

"How should we surprise him?" Mahogany asked, then turned to me. "Any ideas, Shawn?"
I shook my head. "Get him a 'stop being a jerk' mug."
"God dammit." Gilinsky cursed. "Shawn, you know that's Taylor's personality. He's a tough guy, and it's kinda your fault that you fell for him. Maybe you should've fallen for someone like...I don't know. Me."
Tough guy my ass.
"Is this what I think it is?" I scoffed. "Is Jack Gilinsky asking me out on a date?"
"I could totally beat Taylor." He smiled. "In bed."
I chuckled. "Don't flatter yourself."
"I am amazing in bed." He nudges Johnson's elbow. "Right, Jack?"
Johnson looks at him, confused. "What the fuck are you talking about?"
"We've been in bed together." Gilinsky batts his eyelashes.
Johnson's jaw drops. "Yeah but we never did anything dirty." He looks at us, both hands in the air. "Guys, you all know I'm straight."
"Well..." Mahogany retorted. "We all also thought Gilinsky was straight."
"Yup." I agreed, winking at Johnson. "You never know."
Johnson rolls his eyes and resumes to eating his chicken-pot-pie.
We are all hanging out in this garden-restaurant, everyone but Taylor, of course. We chose to sit outside because of the wind, and the sun, and just nature in general.
"Okay, serious note." Nash says, clapping his hands. "What should we do for Taylor's birthday?"
"Get him some dumbbells." Cam replies.
I chuckle. "Oh he would love that."
Nash glares at both of us, then resumes his sentence. "Seriously guys, come on. You know it's a ritual for us to do something for the birthday boy..." His eyes land on Mahogany. "...or girl.".
"If you don't mind, Mahogs," Aaron said. "Why do you hang out with guys?"
She shrugged. "I was raised around men, and I guess I just got used to being surrounded by loads of testosterone. My mom was rarely with me while I was growing up. And, I guess hanging out with guys is more fun that being in a group full of girls. I don't really like gossip. I mean, I wouldn't mind if a couple of girls enter our group, I just need more men in my life."
"The fuck do you mean 'you need more men in your life'?" Jacob complained. "Am I not enough for you?"
She rubs her nose against his. "I meant it in a different way, babe."
"Oh my god." Nash groans. "Taylor's birthday, people, come on! We've been straying from the topic for the past thirty minutes."
"Get him a gym membership." I joke.
"Shawn." Nash scolds.
"Yes, sir."
"Let's just decide tomorrow." Mahogany says, running a hand through her hair. "Why not just explore the city today and let the ideas come to us?"
I raised my hand. "I agree."
Everyone raises their hand as well.
"Fine." Nash rolls his eyes. "Let's go."
