Shawn's P.O.V

"Matthew. Bro, you need to calm down." I said sitting next to him on the couch

"Don't tell me to calm down Shawn." He said snapping at me yet again

"I understand that you still like her Matt. But I think it's time you started moving on. You broke up with her over a year ago. Please Matt." I said putting my hand on his shoulder

"Stop it Shawn!" He said getting up and running into his bedroom

"Yikes." I said and stayed where I was waiting for Tia to come out of her bedroom. It had already been 2 hours since she locked herself up in there.. and we didn't even know what she was doing there

Tia's P.O.V

Once I was done with my shower, I walked into my bedroom and got dressed into my black jeans and a baby blue coloured hoddie.

I was in no mood of doing anything to my hair so I pulled it up and put it into a bun
And trust me this bun was terrible, it looked so bad because my hair was still soaking wet.

I sat in the corner of the room thinking of what I should do now.

Should I walk out and act like nothing happend?

Should I go to the beach?

Should I just stay in here?

What the heck was I supposed to do?

I closed my eyes and just sat in the same spot for about half an hour just thinking. Thinking about everything.

I didn't know what took over me, but I got up and pulled out my luggage bags and threw all my things on the bed.

I played my march playlist, which was in fact lit, and simply sorted through all my items.

I ironed all my creased clothing and folded each and every one of them and put them into my suitcases.

Doing all of this, calmed me and took by mind off of Matthew and Shawn for a while, which was great. All in all, it took me about 3 hours to finish all of this and now it was about 8:00 pm.

Now I just had one last thing to do.

Book my plane ticket.

This was the hard part. I mean, I was falling for Shawn, and I can't belive I'm saying this but he was sorta falling for me...

I went and stood in front of the mirror in my bathroom and just looked at myself.. my hair still a mess... my clothes still creased.

"Are you sure?" I asked myself in the mirror

*sigh* "Yes. You have no choice Tia. You have to. Matthew and Shawn are best friends, and you being here is just ruining everything. You have to." I said to myself and turned around to walk back into the room

My head low.....the rims of my eye teary..

I grabbed my laptop and sat on my bed looking for the earliest flight times

12:45 - was the earliest I could find so I went ahead and booked the ticket

"I can't belive your doing this." I said to myself and went inside my blanket

Shawn's P.O.V

I was still in the same spot, from 4 hours ago. I sat there waiting for her. But she still wasn't out.

I finally got the nerve to go and knock on her door.

"Are you okay Tia." I asked in a hushed voice

I heard her walk upto the door, but she didn't come out.

"Yea." She said

"Can I come inside?" I asked holding onto the door knob

"Go to sleep Shawn." She said from the other side

"No Tia. I wanna see you and I wanna talk to you about what happened today." I said laying my head onto the door

"So do I Shawn, but now's not a good time. Tomorrow. Okay?" She asked in a questionable matter

"Okay." I said and started walking way when I heard a small whisper saying "I'm sorry."

I went and layed on the sofa hoping that she would eventually come out and drifted into a deep sleep

Tia's P.O.V

There was only 30 minutes to midnight and I knew that it was time for me to leave now.

I grabbed my suitcase and my laptop bag and opened the door slowly to peek just to see if the boys were awake.

I couldn't see anything because the lights were out, which meant that the boys were probably asleep as well.

I tip toed into the hallway and kept my luggage close to the front door and walked into Matt's room.

I sat on the edge of the bed slowly and just looked at my best friend, hoping that it wouldn't be the last time. For me it wouldn't, because I could always watch him on YouTube, but I knew that it could be the last time he would be seeing me.

I whispered a quick apology and got up to leave, but I couldn't.

I stood next to him and knelt down to give him a kiss on the cheek and then left his room.

Once I was out of his room, I walked into Shawn's room but he wasn't there, so I assumed that he would proably be in the living room.

I grabbed the sheet from his room and walked into the living room to see that Shawn was sleeping on the couch, as suspected.

I put the blanket on him and sat in front of him, cross legged on the carpet.

I just sat there looking at what I was going to be missing out on.

The most humble and generous guy a girl could ask for. A guy who's smile would always light up her day. A guy who would do the silliest of things for her to make her happy. A guy who had a voice of an angel. A guy who was just perfect.

I lifted my hand and put it on his hair and played with it for a while.

Just when I was about to get up I heard Shawn speak. Oh crap!

"Tia?" He asked opening his right eye just a bit. "Why is your hair still wet?"" He asked touching the ends of my hair

"Shhh." I said and sat back down still playing with his hair "Go back to sleep"

He took ahold of my hand and held it close to his chest and shut his eyes while I hummed "I see fire" by Ed sheeran as best as I could.

It wasn't long before he was snoring again.

I just sat there smiling like a goof, looking at how cute he looked even when he was sleeping. I was so happy that he was holding my hand.

I couldn't resist anymore.. so I put my hand on his cheek and looked at him for a second and then my lips were pressed against his. It was gentle and short, but it happened. He had kissed me back.

And now he was smiling with his eyes still closed.

"I like you too Shawn." I whispered close to his lips still

"I knew it." He said and giggled and fell right back to sleep. My hand still in his.

I got up, slowly took my hand way from his, looked at him one more time and left.

I was going back to Toronto. Back home.

Just for a while hopefully.

I hope the guys get the letter. I thought to myself. I had left it on the kitchen counter.. so they couldn't miss it.

But that's not what made me sad.

I was doing exactly what my parents had taught me not to. I was running away from my problems.

For some reason.. my stomach had a weird feeling in it.
