He's Like Him [Part 2]

57.3

POV Shawn

"A love we had to fake?" Camilla asks me. I nod and grab my guitar again.

"This is really a hard song to write." She sighs. "Why are we doing this again?" We're on the floor, so she leans against the couch in the room.

"The rougher the song, the more people like it, it has to be real." I practice even more with the chords we have just come up with and I hardly look at Camilla. I also find it difficult to be honest. It's not just about anything, it's about our lives and our history.

"This is the trickiest song I've ever made, Shawn." She says sadly. When I look up briefly I see that she nervously picks her nails. "It comes so close."

"I know."

"If we release this, everyone knows that we have had a relationship."

"A relationship in which we forced ourselves to love each other in an unnatural way, we are just friends now and that's why I want to make this song, Camilla." I convince her of it. "If you don't want to participate, that's okay, but I'll make it myself then."

I start playing the guitar again and Camilla sings a part off the song. It sounds good, it just needs a little more roughness.

Moments later, Geoff enters the room, with Nathan in his arms. I immediately get up and take my son over from him. "Where's Indy?" I ask him. I don't understand how he can suddenly walk into the door with Nathan in his arms without Indy being there.

Geoff shakes his head and says he doesn't know. "She took the car and went off angry."

"Fuck."

"Maybe you should call her." Camilla suggests. She puts a hand on my shoulder and irritated I move my shoulder away from under her hand. I enter Indy's number but she doesn't pick up. "Why is not she picking up?" I mumble into myself.

-
Shawn: Beautiful
Shawn: Where are you?
Shawn: Indy?
Shawn: Please tell me where you are
Beautiful❤️: At home, but leave me alone
Shawn: Why are you angry?
Beautiful❤️: Why?
Beautiful❤️: Jesus Christ Shawn I just don't wanna talk to you now
Shawn: Okay

"I'm going home. Can you watch Nathan for a moment please?" Geoff immediately winks and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" He asks me carefully.

"I just don't know why she's angry with me." I say sighing. "The lyrics of the song."

"Is that it? Is that why she is angry?" I ask cheerfully. "That's a lyrics about Camilla and I, does she think it's about us?" Geoff nods.

This is one big misunderstanding. Again.
