They're Like Us [Part 3]

16.2

POV Shawn

The three of us are on the plane. Brian is sitting by the window, I'm in the middle and Indy is sitting by the aisle because otherwise she's scared to fly. When I look at Indy, I feel guilty. She's been staring at the aisle for hours without saying anything. I'm worried about her. Brian told me there was paparazzi at the hotel, but she's not quiet because of that.

It's my fault. I should never have let it go that far, but Camila's lips were so close. We looked at each other and suddenly she pressed her lips against mine. I know I should have stopped it right away, but it felt so good. I only stopped when Connor shouted that I had a wife and children. That the person I was kissing wasn't my wife.

"This was so wrong." I immediately told her after our kiss. I panicked and forced Connor to remove the photos. Camila and Connor said they would keep it a secret, that it the secret of the three of us, but still Indy found out. I screwed it up.

When I look at Indy again, she's asleep. She has her head hanging back very uncomfortably and sometimes squeezes her eyes, it's like she's in pain. If she stays that way she'll have the worst neck pain ever tomorrow. I take a look at Brian, but he has fixed his gaze on the view.

I carefully grasp Indy's head and place it on my shoulder. I gently give a kiss on top of her head and slide my fingers through her hair.

"You still love her, right?" I hear Brian say in a whisper. I look at him for a moment and then pull my hand through her hair again. "She's my everything, I love her more than anything else." I tell him.

"Then why did you kiss Camila?" He asks me. His question triggers an enormous anger in me. I'm furious with myself, how could I have been so stupid? What made me kiss her back?

"I don't know. It was stupid and not my intention at all," I sigh, "she hates me, doesn't she?"

To my relief, he shakes his head. "She's just hurt. You're her only family, Shawn. She's scared to be alone again."

I look at her and a tear rolls down my cheek. I never meant for this to happen. I never meant for her to feel this way. I ruined it, everything. I sight deeply and throw my head back in my neck.

"Nothing else happened between you and Camila, right?" The new unreleased video clip is playing on repeat through my head. It's not done yet, but we've allready filmed a couple scenes. Indy's really going to hate me. "We made a video clip for our new song called Señorita. We danced closely and kissed one time, but that's it."

"What?" He sits up a little bit more and keeps looking at me. "Why don't I know about this? Why didn't you tell us?"

"Not many people know about it yet, okay? Only Andrew, Connor, Josiah, my hair stylist, Camila's mother, and about twenty others." I tell him. If I say it out loud, it sounds even worse than I thought. Almost everyone knows about it except Brian and Indy. Everyone is lying to her, to them.

"It's not finished yet. We film the other scenes in a couple of weeks."

"Indy's not going to like this." I sigh as I throw my head in my neck again and close my eyes.

"She might not like it, but you have to be honest with her, bro."

"I know, and I will."
