Dancing on My Own: Calum Scott
' I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her. I'm right over here, why can't you see me?'

'Are you coming to Ashton's party with me tonight?' I asked Shawn, as I was in the middle of getting ready.

'I have a flight in three hours to Los Angeles,' he laughed and I sighed, as I had totally forgotten that he was leaving for a week. 'So that would be a no babe.'

'Shit I'm sorry, do you want me to take you?' I asked, walking out of our bathroom into our bedroom. Shawn and I have been living together since we finished school, so almost two years now. The house is insane, due to Shawn's career, and I knew I should be paying more rent than I already do, but Shawn was himself and would not let me do that.

'Don't be silly Sienna, it's your brothers birthday, I'll catch an Uber.'

I loved our house, it was uniquely our own. Our bedroom was my favourite room in the house, as it was French inspired, with open spaces and intricate details on everything, right down to the wardrobe handles.

'I know but I'll miss you,' I said with a pout, Shawn laughing at me before kissing the top of my head. No matter how long Shawn was gone for, I always missed him.

'I'll miss you too baby girl but I'll be back before you know it,' he said with a soft smile before pulling a black jumper over his head, signalling that it was time for him to go.

'Will you back before the eighteenth?' I asked quietly and he nodded before walking over to me and kissing the top of my head and pulling me into a tight hug.

'I'll be back on the seventeenth for you,' he said and I nodded, hugging him even tighter. 'My Uber is outside Si, wanna walk me out?'

'Always,' I said with a smile, Shawn grabbing his suitcase as I picked up his backpack and we headed outside to the dimly lit street, the white Mazda waiting for him.

'I love you, I'll call you when I land yeah?' he asked and I nodded before he lent in for a goodbye kiss, the kiss fuelled with love and a little bit of heartbreak, neither of us wanting to be separated anymore.

'I love you too, have a good flight,' I said hugging him once more before he really had to go, leaving me standing alone on our street, already wanting him to come home.

I ended up heading back inside because I really had to get to Ashton's twenty-first birthday, as I was making a speech, alongside Isla and the three boys he calls his best friends.

I ended up finding a white long sleeve dress in my wardrobe which reached my mid thigh, pairing it with nude wedges and then I really had to go, as I was already running very late. 

I ended up driving as I would probably end up staying at my parents house anyway, as that is where Ashton is having his birthday tonight.

My old street was packed as usual, cars lining the road and people hanging outside of my house, mainly my friends that were invited.

'Oh wow nice of you to show up,' Isabel scoffed and I just rolled my eyes at her as she pulled me into a hug. Our friendship group from high school was still the same, nobody coming or leaving, as our bond was something that would never be broken.
