____Shayne's POV__5:30pm Monday___

I dont know what was going on with me. Since Tessa left I have just been so lonely. and seeing y/n everyday and being with her just seems as this is how it is suppose to be. shes so pretty and kind and i would die without her presence.
i sat across from her eating my slice of pizza. even the way she eats is just so mesmerizing. creepy i know.
i suddenly grew out of trance
"hello. shayne. you there?" y/n said waving her hand.
crap she caught me staring at her
"yea im all good. this pizza is just so damn good. where is it from again?" i asked to cover up.
"la macinos" ian said.
i nodded and took another bite.
"anyway, i have an announcement" ian started. "smosh summer games starts next week. yes a short notice but we have realized how close summer is ending and we need the whole month for the event. the shoot for every Gordon Ramsey show ever will be resceduled at the end of the week. Now i see the ideas that you have on the board and one of them i like the most." he said standing up next to the board.

"this years summer games theme is.." he said as every started a drumroll. "Smosh Summer Games: At the Beach!"
everyone cheered in excitement.
"we will be going to a privately owned beach in northern california. the owners are good friends of mine and i called them immediately when i saw the idea. they are happy to lend us their huge 7 bedroom beach house and a small condo next to it. as well as the beach itself so that we wont have to be bombarded by fans. not to mention they have a huge pool for our traditional belly flop competition."

once again everyone cheered in excitement. i looked over at y/n and gave her a quick smile.
she didnt notice but its fine i guess.

"we leave sunday" ian said.
everyone clapped and eventually left.
"still want to hang out?" y/n asked.
i choked. "uh. yea."
"if you dont want to hang out shayne we dont have to. you dont seem so good anyway." y/n said grabbing her stuff. "no i want to. there is stuff i want to talk about out." i said grabbing my keys.
"well then lets go".
i followed her out and followed her to her apartment.
we got inside and i instantly sat on her couch with my hands in my face.
she sat next to me
"whats wrong shayne?" y/n asked laying her head on my shoulder.
i let out a huge sigh and layed my head back.

"ive been so lonely since tessa left. i know that was a year ago but it still hurts for some reason. i feel so useless not having anyone to care about as much as i did for her." i said slowly.
she looked up at me. damn those eyes.
"youll find someone one day shayne. after all you are a handsome man and any girl would be lucky to have you" she said looking up at me. "youre my best friend and i just want the best for you"
"you are the best for me" i splurted. i quickly panicked and realized what i had just said. i got up and walked around panicking.
"im sorry y/n. that wasnt suppose to come out." i said pausing in the middle. "i think i should leave.. " i said going to grab my keys.
y/n grabbed them before i did
"what is wrong with you?" y/n asked in a worried tone.
i looked at her with tears in my eyes. i didnt want pur friendship to be ruined.
"y/n i love you. a lot. i love you as in more than just friends.." i chokingly said.
all she did was stare at me. she put my keys in my hand and sat back down on the couch.
"im sorry.." i almost cried.
"no its fine. just um.. i dont know." y/n said.
"im just gonna leave.." i headed towards the door. "im sorry"
she didnt respond and i knew i messed up. I dont know what happened to me.

______y/n's pov___Tuesday 12am______

I couldnt sleep. everything was going through my head. i literally just started to be a cast member and then this all happens. and now im scared to even show up tomorrow. i dont want to look as his face.
my best friend. out of all people. i mean i dont think its a bad thing. but i just didnt want to believe noah when he told me.
thoughts went through my head all night and i didnt know what to do.

i finally got some sleep at about 2am. damn i was scared for what was to come.

____________next morning_____________

i got up and took my quick shower. i threw on a simple sweat pant and tshirt. i didnt feel like drrssing up today. i threw my hair up and headed out the door.

i walked into smosh with my stuff moved to another room shared with courtney and olivia. must of gotten a new editor already.
"hey guys" i said walking in.
"hey y/n" court said. "hi" oliva waved.
"have you talked to shayne recently" court asked.
"no" i said sitting down instantly putting my headphones and going over scripts.
they both looked at each and shrugged.

sitting there grungy as ever, noah walked in.
i took my headphones out. "hey" i said.
" hey y/n. have you talked to shayne? what happened last night?" he asked.
"no and not much why?" i lied.
"well 1. hes not here. 2. he sint responding to anyone. and he hanging up on us" he said. i let out a huge sigh. "ill try to contact him."
noah nodded and left the room. i tried calling shayne.
ring ring. and the called ended. he rejcted it. i tried once more.
ring. and he rejected it again.
i decided to text him.

you- shayne.. please answer me.
shayne..

i waited a couple more seconds and then he called. i picked up right away. he was crying

Shayne- im so sorry

you- please come down to smosh and we can talk about this.. everyone is worried.

s- no i cant. im so embarrased.

you- shayne.. please. you dont have to face anyone. you can come talk to me and get you calmed. we can talk about it. i just couldnt last night. it was a shock.

s- okay.. i guess ill just see you in a few minutes..

you- yay. thank you. i do love you though. you are my best friend.

he hung up. i waited patiently in the room for him to arrived.

he showed up about 10 minutes after. and sat down with me.

"im so sorry y/n.. but its true.. i love you. i want to be more than friends. and i know it just seems so childish right now but its been bothering me for so long and i couldnt take it anymore. youre my best friend and i didnt want it to go this way at all. i wanted to ask you out on a perfect date and ask you properly but i was too scared that you would get mad and all that." he said that so fast i could barely understand.
"shayne.. i know this must have been hard for you and yes maybe a bit childish but feelings suck ass. but we are grown adults. and i believe that you can pull yourself together and do this the right way." i said in the most comforting tone.

i mean i never thought of dating my best friend. but you know, maybe give this a try and see if what he thinks he wants works out or maybe even then ill realize that i want it to but it mever hurts to try. i want him to have a shot. sounds stupid but i have to be his best friend as well as his love interest.

he took some deep breaths and finally calmed down.
"y/n... i would be honored.. if you would let me take you on an amazing date tonight" he asked grabbing my hand.
"shayne.. i would love to." i said squeezing his hand.

his mood instantly changed and i couldnt help but smile.

" i will see you tonight then?" i asked him.
"yes. y/n dress pretty. its a surprise. most because i dont have anything planned." he jumped up in excitement and left the room.

all i did was smile at how adorable he is. maybe i was falling in love with him. i just never knew it till now.
