Chapter 20: All The Strings Unravel
This gonna be a long chapter. Be ready for all the drama.
Shawn's P.O.V:
I get out of bed. Yesterday was when I talked to Nash last. I wander if Cameron's told him anything since. I shouldn't matter. I need to get over him. I walk into the living room and see Josh still asleep. I had no plans today. Maybe we could hang out. I go back to my bedroom and put some clothes on. (I was just in my underwear.) When I walk back out Josh is awake. "Good morning Shawn."
"It's almost 1pm Josh."
"We both slept in really late." He's smiling and I kind of giggle. He smacks the couch cushion beside him. "Come sit." I sit down next to him. "So wutcha wanna do today Shawny?" He was smiling.
"Maybe we could just sit here and watch movies."
"I love it. What movies you got?"
"I have Netflix."
"Let's watch something scary."
"I'll get scared though." Did he seriously like me?
"I'll protect you Shawn."
"Whatever Josh." I say laughing and punching his shoulder. He's sat back down on the couch now. The movie starts. I feel Josh slowly inch closer to me. I'm sitting in the middle and he's sitting on the very left. He's clearly into me. I'm sorry Josh. I just don't like you like that. I like Cameron. And I honestly think I don't wanna be with anyone except for him. I said all of this in my head of course. A gory seen appeared and I got scared. I moved my head to the left. He wrapped his arms around me.
"It's ok Shawn." he said in my ear. I need to tell him I don't like him. I can't mislead him. I grab the remote and pause the tv. I flip the lights on.
"What's going on Shawn?"
"Josh I need to talk to you."
"What about?"
"I know you like me Josh. And I'm flattered. You're a great guy." I pause, m heart about to beat of my chest. "I just feel like my heart was made for one person, and he doesn't even want me. I just think I would rather be alone if I can't be with him, because honestly any other love would be fake, and would never live up to the love I feel for him." There were tears in my eyes. Why can't we just be together. I need to talk to him.
"Shawn, he doesn't like you. You can't keep loving him."
"You're wrong Josh. I know that deep down somewhere he still loves me."
"Shawn.." he says, trying to wrap his arms around me. I push them away.
"I think you should go Josh."
"What do you mean?"
"I think you need to get your stuff and leave."
"Shawn I'm sorry, I'll stop."
"Josh you can stay tonight but I seriously need you out by tomorrow morning."
"Shawn, don't say that."
"I mean it Josh."
"Whatever man."
*****
It had been a few hours since my argument with Josh. I was laying in my bed. My phone vibrates. It's a text from Taylor.
Taylor: "party at my house tonight loser. Be there at 8!"
Shawn: "is Cam gonna be there?"
Taylor: "idk Shawn. It doesn't matter either. Just come. It'll be fun."
Shawn: "I'll see you at 8 man."
I decide to take a nap before the party. I wake up about 7:30. I start getting ready. "Where you going Shawn?" asked Josh.
"My friends having a party. I should be back late."
"Is Cam gonna be at the party?"
"I don't know Josh. And honestly I don't care. And neither should you." I was lying. I prayed more than anything to God that he was there. I just needed to see him.
"Be safe Shawn. And don't get too drunk."
"I'll try not to Josh." I say laughing. I walk out the door and get into my car.
*****
I showed up to the party about 20 minutes after 8. I get out and walk in. There are literally people everywhere. His house is full, and the music is blasting. This looks like it's gonna be fun, I'm just a little scared. I've never really been much of a party guy. I walk in. "Hey Shawn!" Its Taylor yelling.
"What's up man, dope party."
"Thanks bro. Have fun, and here drink a little." He hands me a red solo cup. "Come on Shawn." Well I don't have anything to loose. I chug the whole drink. "At a boy Shawn, at a boy." He walks away laughing.
I get more to drink. After a little bit of partying I run into Nash.
"Hey, Nash. How you been man."
"Shawn are you ok? I need to talk to you."
"Let's talk Nash."
"Are you drunk Shawn?"
"No." I say laughing. "Well maybe a little bit." He grabs my wrist and takes my upstairs to a bedroom. "Nash you know I'm gay, but I do not want to to anything with you. No offense." I'm laughing again.
"Shut up Shawn. Something isn't right."
"What?" I try concentrating. He says something isn't right. It's probably no big deal.
"It's about you and Cameron." After I hear Cameron's name I come back to myself.
"What are you talking about Nash?"
"Shawn you have high tech security cameras in your house right?"
"Yah." I say laughing again.
"How do I look at the recordings." I pull a key out of my pocket and hand it to him.
"Here, just try not to look at my pecker in the videos." I'm laughing again.
"Be careful Shawn." he says, then runs out of the room. I walk out and look down the hallway. There's a lot of bedrooms. They're all full so I go down to the last one. The lights are off so I assume no ones in here. I flip on the light. Cameron is sitting on the bed cuddled next to some girl.
"What the fuck?" I yell. I make my way over to the bed. "Get the hell away from him you... you.. tramp."
"Shawn what are you doing stop!"
"Shut the hell up Cameron. How dare you cheat on me. I love you." I grab the girl and try to pull her off the bed. She pushed me and I fall backwards onto the ground.
"Shawn are you ok?" Cameron try's to help me up.
"Get off of me you dirty slut." I say. I walk out of the room and out of the house. I get to my car and start it. I see Cam running out of the house.
"Shawn no, Shawn stop!" I drive away looking at Cameron chase my car in my rear view mirror. I feel tears in my eyes. I can't believe he was about to have sex with that girl. That girl! I stop to get food and drive a few places. I manage to get back to my apartment safely. I make my way into my apartment.
"Shawn you're home." Josh yells.
"Yah. Has my friend Nash been here, because he said he was coming here."
"Yah he was here about 2-3 hours ago."
"Oh ok." I wrap my arms around Josh's neck. I attach my lips to his.
"Shawn.... Shawn. What are you doing?"
"This." I say, pushing him back onto the couch kissing him. If Cameron was with that girl then I'm gonna be with Josh. I here a sound come from the door. I look up to see Cameron running in. I must have given him a key. He had a bouquet of roses in his right hand.
"Shawn." he says weakly. He's breathing hard. I see tears start to form in his eyes. He throws the roses down. "I can't believe you Shawn." He pulls me off of Josh. I see him start punching Josh. I try to pull Cam up. I see a fist fly up and hit my face. Everything went black, then I heard no noise, and everything was quiet.
Nash's P.O.V:
I unlock Shawn's door with his key. Josh is siting on the couch watching t.v.
"Who the hell are you?" he yells standing up off the couch.
"I'm Shawn's friend. Who the hell are you."
"Josh." I push past him and make my way to Shawn's bedroom. He said the tape would be in his second closet. I unlock the door and go inside.
"Leave me alone." I yell to Josh.
"Tell me what you're doing first."
"None of your fucking business." I get the DVD printed that had the past weeks recordings on it. I just prayed to God it showed Josh texting Cam from Shawn's phone. I pray to God my theory is right.
"I'm not letting you leave till you tell me what's going on."
"I'm onto you Josh, and don't think I'm fucking not." I push past him locking the door behind me and then I leave the apartment. I drive to Taylor's. I find Cameron and drag him into my car.
"Where are we going Nash."
"You have to watch this Cameron. If my theory is right then Shawn isn't the one who broke up with you over text message."
"What do you mean Nash?"
"Look all I know is that Shawn had no idea about the texts. They're not even on his phone. He thinks you broke up with him over a phone call. I think that Josh took Shawn's phone when he was sleeping and texted you. And this recording might prove it."
"Shawn just left the party like one minute ago. He's driving home drunk. I'm really worried about him."
"He'll be fine Cam." We rush into my house. I pop the DVD into the DVD player and fast forward through the video. "What time did you text him Cam?" Cameron scrolled through his phone and showed me the time. I fast forwarded to that time. Shawn's laying in bed. I click to switch cameras. Josh is standing at the kitchen bar with a phone in his hands. "I knew it!"
"That mother fucker!" There are tears in Cameron's eyes. "I need to go get my Shawn. My baby boy." He gets up and starts running.
"Wait Cam." I grab the vase full of roses and pull them out. "Here, give these to Shawn."
"Thank you Nash. You have no idea what you've done for me." He hugs me crying then runs out of my apartment.
Cameron's P.O.V:
I see Josh holding Shawn's phone on the recording. I knew it wasn't Shawn! I feel tears dripping out of my eyes. He still loves me! And I love him. "That mother fucker!" I yell. "I need to get to my Shawn. My baby boy." I stand up and start running towards the door.
"Wait Cam! Here, give them to Shawn." I look at the beautiful red roses in Nash's hands.
"Thank you Nash. You have no idea what you've done for me." I hug him, still crying then run out of his apartment. I drive straight to Shawn's apartment. Running a few red lights and stop signs. I didn't care. I just needed to see my Shawn. I pull in front of the apartment and park. I make my way to the door. Good thing he gave me a key. I hold the bouquet of roses in my left hand and the key in my right. I walk in and can't believe what I'm seeing. I'm staring Shawn in the eyes as he's laying on top of Josh, their lips connected. He pulls off and looks at me. I throw the roses down and run to him. I can't believe Josh is taking advantage of a drunk Shawn. I pull Shawn off and start punching Josh. I feel Shawn try to stop me and I turn around. Josh's punch collides with Shawn's face. He falls back, colliding with the ground. "Get the hell out of here you pig!" I yell at Josh.
"What are you talking about you guys are broke up."
"Josh I know you're the one that texted me and you have .5 seconds to get the hell out of my face and the hell away from my boyfriend before I beat the living hell out of you." He stands up, fear in his eyes. He walks out, shutting the door behind him. I look back down to Shawn. I raise his head up.
"I'm fine Cam. I'm fine." He closes his eyes again, going back to sleep. He must be really drunk. I lift him up and carry him to his bed. I go to the kitchen and make him an ice pack. I set it on his head, where it collided with the ground. I pull off his jeans and socks and cover him up with blankets. I take off my own clothes, except for underwear, and crawl in next to him. He passed out from being too drunk and hitting his head. We could talk in the morning. Until then I just wanted to hold him in my arms.
