"Why did you tell him that?" Lacie started to laugh while she drove us to my house.

   "It just came out." I mumbled.

   "That was so embarrassing!" She groaned.

"He so thought I was your girlfriend."

   It was my turn to laugh.

  "He did?"

   Lacie nodded with a blush on her cheeks.

"I had to tell him that we weren't dating and that you weren't even a lesbian. Claire you know that I love you, but I'm begging you to please never tell anyone that you're lesbian. Not unless it's true."

I sit there and think for a moment.

"How come you're so embarrassed?"

"What?" She pretended like she didn't understand me.

"It was Shawn, not anyone special. Why do you care what he thinks?" I looked over at her skeptically.

"Alright, I admit! Shawn is cute and super sweet, let's not forget to mention how rich he is."

She giggled.

  "I think I like him."

"You're unbelievable." I felt jealous, but why should I?

I couldn't possibly be jealous over Shawn.

She could date him if she wanted to get hurt.

"You should talk to him for me! He obviously still likes you. Just get him to turn around and like me!" She parked her car in front of my house.

I looked at her as if she'd gone crazy.

Was she really expecting me to talk to Shawn?

The smile on her face made it clear that she wasn't kidding.

I got out of her car and slammed the door shut without saying another word.

I walked inside my house and headed straight to my room, not looking behind me.

I needed someone to talk to.

I scrolled through my phone and stopped once I saw Lance's name pop up on the screen.

Over the summer he had given me his phone number, but I didn't give mine back in return.

Meaning, if I called him, he would know my phone number.

Did I really want to go through the same things with Lance?

No, I didn't want to make anymore mistakes.

I kept scrolling and stopped at Shawn's name.

I hesitated for a minute before I pressed call.

   "Hello?" Shawn's voice came from the other side.

   "Meet me at my house and we can talk." With that being said I hung up.

   While I waited for Shawn to arrive, I cuddled up with my cat Zeus and gave him kisses, I attempted to give him the love I never got.

I felt the cat hair in my mouth and coughed a bit.

Once I was done spitting out the hair, Shawn walked into my room.

He took a seat next to me on my bed.

   "I thought you said you didn't want to talk to me ever again." He said in a teasing tone.

   I broke down into tears and threw my arms around his neck.

  "I missed you too, Shawn! Oh, I've missed you so much!"

   Shawn was shocked by my actions and slowly hugged me back.

He pulled me even closer to him, so I could smell the cologne that lingered on his hoodie.

My heart pounded loudly in my chest.

Out of nowhere, I felt his soft lips land gently on my forehead.

   "Don't kiss me." I managed to say, being muffled by his hoodie.

   "Sorry." He breathed out.

  "I don't want to ruin this. Tell me everything that's on your mind, I want to know."
