*Courtney's POV*
I'm talking with some fans backstage when Mahogany runs towards me.
"There is an emergency and I need you now!", and she pulls me out of the room, "I'll bring her back guys don't worry!", she smiles quick and pulls me to the rooms.
"Maho what's the problem?"
She opens the door and I see Diana sitting.
"Holy sh... Diana!"
"Courtney?", she says confused, "I didn't know you were joining magcon."
"I didn't know you were here!"
I give her a quick hug and look besides me. There are all the guys looking at us.
"What did you tell them?", I ask her.
"The truth."
"YOU FUCKING B...", I see Shawn but Matt and co is holding him back.
I roll annoyed with my eyes.
"Courtney, what is your side of the story?", Bart asks.
"My side? I'm not really in this story..."
"You said you saw them. So tell", he insists and I sigh.
"Yeah, I climbed to Shawn's window and saw her on top of him, shirtless. More I didn't see because I left as fast as I could."
"What were you even doing there!?", Shawn asks angry but confused.
"You asked me to come, dipshit." Doesn't he remember?
"I never asked you or that bitch to come."
"You send me roses that day with a message on it that I had to meet you at your place but when I was there you were with Diana and I left because I couldn't see you guys together! Okay?"
"That's impossible. 1. I never send roses to you and 2. If I send flowers to a girl it are daisies, roses are so cliché."
"It doesn't matter if he send you them or not. He made me pregnant!", Diana exclaims.
"Look, we've already done it together like two years ago, but there happened NOTHING that night!", Shawn defends himself.
"Why are you lying to your friends?", Diana asks disgusted.
"You are the one who's lying! Why would I lie to them!?"
"You didn't tell them about your wonderful reputation. Did you?"
"No," he mumbles, "but I had a reason, I didn't want that the guys would see me as that fuckboy from school, this was the only place I could be just Shawn, not the fuckboy that gets every girl."
"Well you lied about that to save your own ass, more reasons you would lie about this."
"BUT THERE HAPPENED NOTHING!"
"Shawn, maybe there happened something but you just don't remember it or...", Johnson tries to say.
"Oh, so you guys also choose her side", he says annoyed.
"We don't choose her side, we're just being realistic...", Tay adds.
"Yeah, maybe they got a point", Cam says and I can see that Shawn's hart just broke.
"You guys also don't believe me?", he asks hurt.
"It's not that we don't believe you, it's just...", Nash says with a bit of doubt in his voice.
"We know you're a womanizer and sometimes you drink, you know and...", Matt wants to say but he interrupts him.
"I can't believe it," and he put his face in his hands, "my own best friends that I know since forever don't believe me. I need some fresh air." And he leaves the room.
"Wait Shawn!", Matt wants to go after him but they stop him.
"We're so sorry for this all." Bart apologize.
"It's not your fault, you didn't know anything about him."
"Come on guys, let's go further with the show", Bart says and we all go back to the room were it's held.
"Maho I'm first going to the toilets."
"Sure, you know where they are."
I go to them and refresh my face with some water.
I can't understand why Shawn looked so hurt.
Is there really a chance he didn't do anything?
I want to leave when I hear Shawn and Diana talking behind the door.
I put my ear against it and try to listen to what they say.
"It's hard when no one wants to believe you, right?"
"Are you now happy Diana? Is this what you wanted?"
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Oh peh-lease, don't act dumb. There is no one here, why are you telling people that I made you pregnant!? You know it's not true!"
"I know, it's just so fun to see you suffer."
"You're a bitch, you know that?"
"Yeah, but look, I need to go. You see this text message? Your friends asked me to come back. Did they send you a text?"
It's quiet for a while.
"Exactly", she says and she walks away.
"Ugh!", he says angry and I hear that he punches the wall.
Then, I think, he sits slowly on the ground and I hear him...
Cry?
I slowly open the door and see Shawn sitting on the flour in the hallway.
"What do you want Courtney?", he snaps at me through his tears. "Don't you need to be with your new bff", he says on an annoyed tone.
I go sit next to him against the wall.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you."
"I got a lot at that."
"Ugh, I was so stupid to believe Diana."
"Yeah you were, but don't worry, you're not the only one that is so stupid. Look at the whole world!"
"I'm really sorry Shawn. But, really."
"What were you even doing at my place?"
"I told you, the roses."
"But I swear I didn't send you them!"
"Calm down, I believe you. But who send them then?"
"Do you still got the paper with the message?"
"No... Wait... I think I have," and I search in the pockets of my jeans, "Here!"
I show him the paper and he looks annoyed.
"What's wrong?"
"That's Stacey's writing."
"Wait what!?"
"I recognize it because I used to be her tutor... And her boyfriend at that time... But anyways, I'm 100% sure it's hers."
"But why?"
"How do I know?"
I feel my phone buzzing.
A text from Mahogany
LOX:
MO: Where are you?
MO: Did you get stuck in the toilets!?
Me: Calm down
Me: I made some things clear
Me: We're coming
MO: We????
I close my phone and stand up.
"Are you coming?"
"Where?"
"To the show, duh."
"No, I don't think they want me there."
"I'll do a duet with you."
He's thinking.
"Still no."
"Come on, it's the only chance you'll get."
He's doubting if he should take the offer or not.
"Okay, fine. But I choose the song."
I help him stand up and we both go to the room.
When we both come in together all the fans start to scream.
"Just run to the podium", he says and he pulls me at my arms.
When we're there I see Diana looking confused from the side of the podium.
I only look disgusted at her and Shawn takes his guitar.
"Okay, what song?", he asks
"I thought you said you were gonna choose."
"Right", and he's probably giving himself am imaginary facepalm, "ehm, you know sweater weather?"
"Yeah, but it isn't a duet."
"You sing first verse, chorus together, and I'll sing second verse."
"I'm not really a fan of what he's saying in the song, but okay."
The people give us both a mic and the others are looking confused as fuck.
Shawn just ignores them and starts to speak into the mic: "Wassup guys," and everyone in the crowd starts to scream, "so Courtney and I are going to sing sweater weather by the neigbourhood", and they start to scream more.
"Ready?", he whispers.
"I never sang for a crowd before...", I whisper back.
"Just look at me while you're singing. Okay?"
I nod and he starts to play. I take a deep breath and start to sing, but I only look Shawn in the eyes.
(Courtney, Shawn, Together)
All I am is a girl
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand
In California with my toes in the sand
Use the sleeves of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You in those little high-waisted shorts, oh
She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no
'Cause it's too cold
For you here and now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides our minds
So move to a place so far away
The goose bumps start to raise
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watch your face
Put my finger on your tongue
'Cause you love to taste, yeah
When he says those two last sentences he smirks at me and I try to keep my face straight. Probably the whole crowd saw that I was laughing because they all start to cheer.
These hearts adore
Everyone the other beats hardest for
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour
Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no, no, no
'Cause it's too cold
For you here and now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
When the song is at his end the whole crowd screams.
It's such a great feeling.
We go off and the others look confused at us.
I walk towards Diana and she looks annoyed.
"I don't know how you did it, but I won't fall for your lies this time", and I throw the paper that hung on the roses to her.
She reads it and I see she stiffens.
I'm gonna find out what happened.
