Everything

35, Brianna

Shawn slams the door, making me jump and almost drop my laptop. I sigh and close it, putting it on my bed.

"What's his problem?" I ask and she stares at me.

"Brianna, did something happen between you and Shawn, that I don't know about?" She asks again and I hesitate to answer her. She sighs and shakes her head, "is that why you and Daniel actually broke up? Because of Shawn?" She asks and I open my mouth to talk but nothing comes out.

"N-nothing has happened between us." I lie and she scoffs.

"You want my honest opinion? He's not right for you. He's for people like me, or like Isabella." She shrugs and I stare blankly at her.

"What did he say?" I ask and she shakes her head, "what did he say?" I ask and she stares at me.

"He was just saying he knows how you feel and I asked if the breakup was about you two and he just got defensive, so I came over here." She shrugs and I close my mouth.

"What?" I choke and she laughs.

"What?"

"You think the breakup had to do with me and Shawn?" I ask and she nods. I hear my phone and quickly grab it.

Jake ❤️ is calling...

"Give me a sec." I say and stand up, walking out of the room. I answer and hear Jake sniffle.

"Hello?" I ask, waiting for a response.

"Bri?" He mumbles and I get concerned with his tone.

"Are you okay?" I ask and I hear him sniffle again, "are you crying?"

"Can you come over or something? I'll tell you everything."

"Of course, I'll be there soon." I say and hang up. I open the door and quickly take off my shirt.

"Woah," Brooke says, not expecting me to do that. I search my closet for a black shirt and find a Nike one. I slip it on and grab some Nike biker shorts, slipping off my pants.

"I gotta go. I don't want to talk about this anymore." I say and put on the shorts.

"Bri, we have to talk about it." She says and I shake my head.

"Brooke, we really don't." I say back and put on some deodorant, "if you really want to find out everything, as Shawn." I smile and give her a hug. She hugs me back, "please don't be mad at me for ditching, Jake's going through something. I'll see you later." I spray on perfume and grab my phone and wallet.

"Is Jake okay?" She asks as I clumsily struggle to put on my shoes.

"I don't know." I sigh. I stand up straight and wave.

"Talk to you later." I swing open the door and begin to jog when Shawn is jogging up the stairs himself. I rush past him and he double takes.

"Brianna, can we talk?" He asks, the concrete echoing his voice, I don't answer. I jog down the stairs and feel a hand my arm, making me stop before I tumble down the stairs.

"Shawn, yes, we can talk, but not right now." I whine and he pulls me up to the platform. He bends down and kisses me. I get the feeling roll up my spine, making goosebumps form on my skin. He pulls out of the kiss and I blink my eyes open.

"Brianna, I've asked this before, I need you to be honest, okay?" He asks, grabbing my hand, "did you feel anything?" I stare at him blankly and he waits for an answer.

It's never felt that intense. It's not a 'that' it's a feeling... I feel for Shawn? Well no shit. I like Shawn? I LIKE SHAWN?

he waits for a answer, gripping onto my hand for reassurance.

"Yeah." I croak and his face unravels.

"Really?" He Asks and I nod. I'm at loss for words.

What the hell is going on?

"Yeah." I repeat and he nods, grinning intensely, but than stops.

"Are you okay?" He asks and I nod.

"Yeah, there's just a-a lot going on. Jake is crying, that, my mom hasn't called, David's still calling, Brooklyn's on my ass and finally my cheek doesn't hurt anymore." I say and he furrows his eyebrows.

"I'm glad your cheeks alright." He says and examines my right side, "where are you going?"

"To Jake's. I gotta go." I say and jog down the stairs again.

"Wait, I can take you." He says and I look up at him, he runs down the stairs, "I can take you."
