"I'm home. Are you done being a brat now?" I jump off of my bed when I hear Shawn's voice, surprised he's here earlier than he had implied- he obviously was concerned about the comment. Such a baby.
"You brought food?" I smile as I walk into the kitchen, spotting an In N Out bag in his hand.
"Who's Dylan?"
I roll my eyes. "Who?"
"Whatever."
"Whatever." I mumble, taking a burger and sitting on a barstool as he sits next to me.
"You didn't talk to him?" Shawn asks as I reach for a fry.
Someone has a guilty conscience.
"No, Shawn! I'm not the one texting other people!" My loud mouth blurts out before I can stop myself.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
I shake my head, getting up and leaving my food to my bedroom. "Tell Hailey I said hello, next time." I can't stop myself. It's clear I know he's texting her, I can't cover it up now.
"We're friends!" I hear Shawn groan as I shut the door behind me.
"Come back and finish arguing with me so we can make up." He pleads, standing up to follow me. "You know I wouldn't hurt you like that."
I plug my headphones in and turn on the first show in my recommended. It's called Dumplin, with Jennifer Anniston and it serves as a distraction.
The door to my room opens not even five minutes later. Shawn has the rest of my cheeseburger and fries on a plate and lets himself in. "Go away." I mumble.
He rolls his eyes. "At least eat the burger. You're gonna hurt it's feeling's."
I snort before I correct my facial expression to a glare. My feelings are hurt too.
"I looooooove you."
I shut my computer, annoyed. "Bro. Let me watch my movie."
"Not until you love me back."
"Maybe Hailey will love you back." I retort, reaching for my burger as he holds it out of my reach.
"Hailey is my friend, Kelsey. I thought you trusted me." Shawn says quietly, sitting closer to me and reaching for my hand when I pull away.
"I do! Or I did! Until you claim to be recording music but you're really at her house!" My chin wobbles, and I blind rapidly before I continue.
He puts his head down and I know he feels like shit now. Shouldn't he feel like shit, though?
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied- I know there's no excuse. But I could never cheat on you. I thought you knew that." He mumbles the last part, clearly hurt I jumped to that conclusion. "I'm sorry."
"I know." I groan, wiping my cheeks and going to put my head against his shoulder. "I'm sorry I went through your phone."
