I clench my jaw when Shawn puts the icepack on my cheek. He holds it there until I take it. We both ended up falling asleep for about 2 hours.

"You okay?" He asks, examining my face. I nod, "so that book." He starts and I raise my eyebrows, knowing he's talking about, 'The Fault In Our Stars'.

"Did you actually read it?" I ask curiously and he nods.

"Yeah, I honestly didn't really expect the ending. Like at fucking all." He says, resting his elbows on the bed.

"Well, yeah, that's kind of the point." I chuckle and he looks at me.

"Did it make you cry?" He asks, I laugh lightly.

"Did you?"

"Nope. It was a good ending though." He shrugs and I sigh.

"Yeah, I cried," I confess and he rolls his eyes.

"It was a depressing book. Agustus was kinda stupid though." He shrugs and my jaw drops.

"What do you mean?" I scoff and he glares at me. I remove the icepack because it was getting cold.

"He uses his one and only wish, to take a total fucking stranger to France or whatever." He declares and I just stare at him like he's stupid.

"He did it because he loved her!" I insist and he scoffs, rolling his eyes.

"They just met!" He yells back and I sit up some more.

"Doesn't mean he didn't love her!" I yell.

"You would do that? You're lying if you say yes." He licks his lips, shrugging yet again.

"Of course I would do that. I mean, if I were in love, I would do anyfuckingthing to make the person I love, happy." I declare and he groans, "I mean, if you were in love wouldn't you do the same?" I cross my arms and stare at him, waiting for an answer.

"I don't believe in love. It's just a stupid concept." He stares back at me.

"Whatever Shawn," I muttered, placing the icepack gently back on my cheek. He sighs and runs his hands through his hair.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." He says, throwing his hands up. I glare at him, "it was a great book. I just thought that the actions that some of the characters made, weren't very smart." He admits and I nod.

"Most of the decisions you make aren't very smart." I tease and he chuckles.

"Says the girl who got into a fight." He plays back. I smile, he smiles back at me. We both flinch when we hear knocking at the door.

"Oh shit." He whispers and I accidentally press hard onto my cheek. I whine and tears form in my eyes, "you alright? Be careful." He says, rubbing my arm. He stands up and walks to the door confidently, shirt off and all.

"Don't worry it's just me." I hear Brooke say. I sigh and look at the time.

12:31pm

"Hey," Shawn says to her, she rolls her eyes and walks past him. He nods and closes the door, jumping back onto the bed. I sit up more and smile at Brooke.

"I see you're pretty comfortable." She teases and I shrug. Shawn reaches over me and grabs the plate that had the mangoes on it.

"I'll be right back, I'll go put this in the sink," Shawn says, glaring at me before leaving.

"Here are some clothes," she says, handing me a bag. I give her a hug.

"Thank you," I say, squeezing her. She chuckles and looks at my cheek.
