We Found Love

Chapter 160

As Shawn walked to me, I couldn't help but think about how much I've missed him.

I've missed his hugs, I've missed his kisses, and I just miss being with him.

"Hey," Shawn said once he got to me.

"Hey," I said back as I looked up at him.

"You are doing great up there." Shawn told me.

"Thanks." I replied.

"I-I got you a bouquet of roses." Shawn said as he pulled a bouquet of roses out from behind his back.

"Thanks again," I said and grabbed the flowers from him.

Shawn seemed a little bit nervous.

"Hey, I gotta talk to you about something." Shawn said.

"I gotta talk to you too, actually, but can we do it outside where it's private?" I asked.

"Sure, sure, yeah." Shawn said, and then I followed him to the door.

When we got to the door, Shawn opened it and held it for me.

Once we were outside, Shawn and I both sat down on the ground next to each other.

"I should've given these roses to my aunt to hold onto," I said as I placed the roses on the ground next to me.

Shawn chuckled.

"What?" I looked straight at him.

"Uh-nothing. So, what do you want to tell me?" Shawn asked.

Oh great. He's making me go first.

"Uh, I just wanted to tell you that for the past few days I've been thinking." I said.

"You've been thinking about what?" Shawn asked me.

"I've been thinking that I'm nothing without you." I said.

"What?"

"Shawn, I haven't stopped having feelings for you." I confessed.

"You still like me?" Shawn asked.

"Yes, I still like you." I said.

"But how? I hurt you so bad."

"It took me a minute, but I've moved passed what you did. Plus, people make mistakes. I'll make mistakes. You'll make more mistakes in the future, I bet. Life is too short to hold grudges, Shawn-"

Shawn cut me off by putting his lips on mine.

After a few seconds, I started kissing back. I was shocked at the moment that he just started kissing me.

I felt his hand cup my cheek.

"I love you," Shawn said after he pulled away.

"I love you too," I smiled as tears started streaming down my face.

"Why are you crying? No, no, no, you are too beautiful to cry." Shawn said, and then I hugged him.

"I'm crying because I've missed you so damn much. I've missed my best friend." I said as he hugged me back.

"You need to come back to the cabin with me. Spend these last few days with us." Shawn said a few seconds later after we stopped hugging.

"I don't know if I can, Shawn. I can tell that Drew loves me being with him." I said even though I really wanted to go to Shawn's cabin with him.

"We could bring him with us." Shawn said.

"What about Aunt Tracey? She will be all alone." I told him.

"Does she know my parents? She could spend time with them and get to know them better?" Shawn said.

"I don't know." I said.

"Come on. Haven't you missed me?" Shawn said, and then kissed my cheek.

I rolled my eyes, smiled, and then said, "Okay fine."

"Now, I think you should get back to singing." Shawn told me.

"Oh shit. I almost forgot." I said, and then stood up.

"I'll hold onto these," Shawn told me as he grabbed the bouquet of roses and stood up.

I smiled at him, he smiled back, and then we both walked into the restaurant together.

"Ready?" Travis walked to me saying.

I shook my head yes.

"Skyler," Shawn called me.

I turned my head to him and he smiled saying, "You are awesome."

I smiled, shook my head, and then walked away from him.

I grabbed my guitar, got back on the platform, and said in the microphone, "Sorry that you guys had to survive without entertainment for a few, but I'm back and ready to sing some songs for you. This next song I'm going to sing is a cover that I learned actually a while back. I love this song and artist so much. It's called Why Georgia by the one and only John Mayer."

I put my guitar on, and then started playing the chords to Why Georgia.

When I started singing, I looked right at Shawn who was smiling super big at me. I couldn't help but smile back.

I am driving up 85 in the kind of morning
That lasts all afternoon, I'm just stuck inside the gloom
Four more exits to my apartment
But I am tempted to keep the car in drive and leave it all behind
'Cause I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdict less life
Am I living it right, am I living it right?
Am I living it right
Why, why Georgia, why?
I rent a room and I fill the spaces with wood in places
To make it feel like home but all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis, just a stirrin' in my soul
Either way I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdict less life
Am I living it right, am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why?
So what, so I've got a smile on
But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me, don't believe me when I say I've got it down
Everybody's just a stranger but that's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's a price I have to pay, still everything happens for a reason
Is no reason not to ask myself if I'm living it right
Am I living it right, am I living it right?
Why tell me, why
Why, why Georgia, why?

After the song, I looked at Aunt Tracey. She was clapping and cheering on the top of her lungs.

I blew a kiss to her and another one to Andrew.
