The Magcon Sister

Chapter 20

"Lydia, can I borrow some earbuds?" Nash tapped me on the shoulder.
"What?" I took off my beats.
"Can I borrow some earbuds?" He repeated.
I handed him some and looked to see who he was sitting with. Shawn.
He looked at me like -we need to talk-
I just turned around.
"You okay?" Chloe asked pausing her movie. The Duff.
"No." I looked at her. Sad.
"Is it Shawn?" She asked.
"Yeah." I started to cry a little bit.
She gave me a hug.
"It's going to be okay." She rubbed my back.
"He just scared me when he did that. It wasn't him." I confessed.
"I know. I'm sorry that I didn't come with you. I had no idea what was going on. No one called me." I could tell she felt bad.
"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault, I just really wish it never happened." I leaned back in my chair and put in my headphones.
I was done with today and ready for tomorrow.

Later that night in the hotel we all sat down to watch a movie.
We have a theater room in our penthouse. I feel like I'm on the TV show Jessie. Except I'm not nanny.

I sat next to Matt on the couch.
Shawn sat on the opposite of the room.
"So, how's Sarah?" I whisper.
"Let's just say...she's not interested." His face went from happy to sad in an instant.
"I'm sorry." I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
He looked up and pulled his hand away.
"Lydia, I'm sorry. I can't. You & Shawn are still a thing." He said.
"I don't know anymore." My hands folded in my lap.
"Talk to him." He nodded his head towards Shawn.
"Okayyyyy...." I walked over to Shawn and grabbed his hand.
All eyes were on us...not on the movie.
"Let's go talk." I whisper.
He nodded his head and followed me to my room.
We walked in and I shut the door.

He sat on the bed. I sat next to him.
He looked me right in the eyes.
"Lydia. I love you. I'm so sorry I ever made you think otherwise-"
I interrupted him with my lips on his.
I tugged on his hair.
He grabbed my waist.
I pulled away.
"Sorry. I just missed you. So so much." Our foreheads leaning on each other.
"I missed you too. I love you." He kissed me one more time.

We ended up watching The Incredibles in his room and falling asleep in his bed. His hands around my waist.
I couldn't have asked for a better night.
