Twenty-Four - FINAL CHAPTER

Okay, I'll stop being weird.

"Alright. Nash? Take off her blind fold," Shawn says.

"Oh, hey Nash! Did he blind fold you too? He's a meanie, isn't he," I ask as I start to see sunlight. Nash just chuckles. When my vision focuses, I see Cameron handing Shawn a guitar. I look to my right and see Taylor doing something behind a tree before bright lights light up around me. I them realize I'm standing in a gazebo white gazebo. It's truly beautiful.

"I know your brother made you a curfew of 8:00 to keep me from apologizing since he's extremely pissed. I understand that, so don't make an excuse for him. I just figured you would like it if I put some effort in. I mean, after all, what you told Casey in the car after you found Maxine and I..." Shawn starts.

"Shawn," I shake my head. "You didn't have to-"

"I wanted to. I want to do whatever I can because I love you. I've never had an actual girlfriend. I tried once or twice, but ever since I met you that day," he laughs. "You had on that T-Shirt with a llama on it - I didn't think you would still be obsessed with them to this day, but you are. You're still that same girl I fell in love with when I was ten. You never changed for anyone except yourself. That's something I love about you. I also love your laugh. Your smile. The way you freak out at home about going in public with your hair messed up, but once in public, you mess it up and don't care. It's weird, but it's you. I love how you blink a lot when you laugh. I love you! I love every single thing about you! I even wrote you a song," he says, pointing to his guitar.

I'm not even going to deny it - that put me into tears. I didn't even know he could feel that way about me. I don't know how I can't forgive him now. I love him too. I love everything about him.

"Here you go, m'lady," Cameron says as he sets a chair beside me and motions for me to sit. I do as told.

"Okay, you ready Taylor," Shawn asks, looking towards Taylor.

"Yeah, I'm ready," he nods.

"Okay, here goes nothing," Shawn sighs, calming himself. "Oh, uh, I might mess up a bit. It's new, but-"

"Just sing, moron," I laugh.

"Okay," he chuckles nervously. He takes a deep breath before he strums his guitar. I guess he's tuning it. "Play it," he points over to Taylor. Taylor nods and presses a button, which causes music to start. Shawn plays his guitar to the beat.

"So both Jacks and I have been working on this since I lost you. I did something that was completely stupid, I know, but you were wrong too. You didn't let me explain it, but a relationship is supposed to be built on trust. I love you, and I want us to look past this. Anyway, here we go," he explains.

"Missed calls and ignored texts

And

Late night

I'm stayin' up stressin' "

I want to be mad at him for putting blame on me.

"Girl, I got you on my mind."

I really want to, but I can't. He's right. Even though I don't want him to be, he is.

"I swear this happens every time, yeah

But what about our last fight?

Yeah, I know it happened last night."

A relationship is nothing without four things.

"You can put that in the past right?

I'm just tryna live the fast life

Uh
