Everything

50, Shawn

I stand up, almost dropping my beer when I feel Brooke's hand on my shoulder.

"Chill." She whispers before walking over to Brianna. They scream and give each other hugs and I just stand there when Jake sees me. He unwraps his arm from Brianna and walks over to me.

"She's in a good mood, don't ruin it again." He threatens and is about to turn back around when I grab his shoulder.

"Yo, why the fuck are Maddie and Mauricio here?" I ask, trying to keep my cool, he shrugs.

"Brianna's friends with them." He shoves my hand off of him before joining the group.

Brooklyn brings Brianna over to the couch which I gladly sit back on.

"Birthday boy!" She smiles and I roll my eyes, a smile plastered to my face.

I'm supposed to be mad at her.

"My boy," I hear Mauro say behind Brianna, he moves her over to the side gently before walking over to me, "it's great to see you Shawn, really." He reaches his hand out for me to shake but I just ignore him, my eyes moving past him to look at Brianna who looks very confused.

"I see you and Brianna have become close." I say through gritted teeth.

"Well, how could you not? She's like, the coolest." He keeps a tedious smile on his face, knowing how much I fucking hate him.

"Yeah," I look at her again, "I guess." I shrug and Mauricio brings his arm around her shoulder and she stiffens. Brooke stares at Mauricio with burning eyes. Mauricio keeps a hint of a smirk on his disgusting mouth before sighing.

"You know, me, Jake, Maddie," the mention of her name makes my stomach churn and Brooke's to twist, "we went to the mall today. She bought herself a new bathing suit. It looks real nice on her-" I stand up, clenching the beer in my hand. I move up to his face when Brianna grabs my arm, pulling me away from him.

"I swear to God Mauro, I'll fucking-"

"What? You'll what? Hit me? No no, you know that'll only make things worse." He winks and glares down at Brianna who is utterly confused.

"Mauro," Maddie walks behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, "I wanna go swim." She pouts, her eyes landing on mine. She looks down at Brianna and smiles. Brianna and Brooklyn are communicating through facial expressions, "why don't you come with Bri?" She says, walking over to play with Brianna's hair but I pull her back lightly by the loops in her shorts. She swats my hand but I ignore it.

"Uh," I look down at her with anger, "I think I might go a little later." She says slowly, making sure she says the right thing. She looks back at Maddie and tilts her head.

"Well, we'll be in the lake." She says, rubbing her hand along her arm before stalking behind Mauricio.

"Alright, let's go." Brooklyn growls, trying as quick as possible to get them away from me. Jake is sitting on the couch, his eyes melted to his phone.

"What the hell was that?" Brianna says, moving away from me.

"What?" I ask, pulling the almost empty beer glass to my mouth.

"Don't act dumb. You know what I'm talking about." Her cheeks are a shade of red that make her look adorable.

"Are you still mad at me?" I ask, putting my head on my hand and she rolls her eyes.

"I'm really annoyed but not mad." She sighs and puts her hands in her back pockets.

"Well, I'm not mad at you. I just got jealous." I shrug and she laughs.
