Shawn

"Camila...Listen. Please."

"No Shawn! Why are you trying to build a friendship with her?"

"Because I miss having her in my life!"

"Ugh! YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT."

"What? Say what?"

"You miss her?? The girl you had FEELINGS FOR?"

"Yeah...?"

"Shawn! You're so oblivious!!"

"I don't understand!"

"You told your girlfriend that you miss the girl you use to have a thing with. Does that sound right??"

"...No...But it's not like I said I miss having sex with her or anything."

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"MISS HAVING SEX WITH HER?"

"Oh- Well- "

"We're done Shawn. You're stuck up on some girl while you're with another one. HOW IS THAT FAIR TO ME?"

"STOP YELLING AT ME."

"NO. NO SHAWN."

"We're a fake relationship anyway."

"We are??"

"...Yes?"

"WE ARE??"

"I- I DON'T KNOW"

"WELL NOT ANYMORE. WE'RE DONE. THIS! IS DONE."

"Camila..."

"SHAWN. NO."

I try to reach out for her hand. She's crying now.

"Camila, listen."

"No."

"Please..."

My voice got very soft and gentle to try and calm her down.

"Fine."

"It was hard having to leave her. It REALLY was. Having to get a call from Brian and Andrew at 2:30am telling me I have to leave the girl I just took on an amazing date and strand her in Italy AND change my phone number. I didn't just ruin my own growing relationship with an amazing girl but her best friend and my best friends relationship. The way they looked at each other you could just tell they wanted to be together all the time. I ruined that because I listened to my management and yours when they said I "had to do it.". Camila, We'll always be best friends. That can't change, but us, together in a relationship is just not meant to be. There were days in my life where a wanted to be with you. Songs I wrote about you. Now that it's happening, It's too weird. Too wrong. You're like my sister Camila. Marie is the girl that my gut is telling me to be with. I'm sorry, i'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry?"

"This. Us. Was my idea..."

"It what?"

"I'm sorry! I feel like such an idiot now."

"What was the reason?"

"Well I saw you both all over the media and I was jealous. I didn't know why but I was, so I said that it would be good for 'Señorita' but really I just wanted to break you up."

"I have to go."

"Shawn! Wait- "

"Goodbye Camila."

"Sha- "

Before she could say anything I storm out. I call Marie's limo driver who's number i got while waiting for her and Ruel in the car.

Shit. Ruel.

How am I going to show up to her apartment and ask her to talk while Ruels there. This isn't good.

About 10 minutes later the limo driver pulls up.

"Hey man, thanks for coming on short notice."

"Yeah, whats going on?"

"Does Marie have a flight in the morning?"

"Yeah..."

"Where to?"

"New York, she has a show."

"What time does her flight leave?"

"7:45am"

"Private plane?"

"No...Public..."

"Where is she staying?"

"Sir...I don't think I should be telling you all this."

"I'm trying to get my girl back. Please."

"The Plaza, in Manhattan."

"Thank you! Seriously thank you man."

I run back into the room and Camila is waiting for me to get back but i'm too busy to continue our conversation. I walk past her and into the bathroom, I book my flight to New York at 7:45am, and a room at The Plaza. I'm not going to break them up if she's happy, like Camila did with Marie and I.
