*Next morning*

Shawn's POV.

I wake up with this heavy headache like someone's just thrown a rock on my head. What even happened last night? I see my phone laying next to me on the bed, so I pick it up while pulling myself up so I'm sitting up in bed. I see there's a video sent to me from Kelsey last night? I have no idea what it is or what even happened, so I decide to just watch it. It's a video of Kelsey dancing to the song I wrote for her, telling how I feel about her. It ends with her holding up a rose with saying "I would let it grow." Shit, I have to talk with her right away. I quickly get up, maybe a bit too fast cause I feel a little dizzy when I stand up. I manage to walk out of my room, but just as I step out in the hallway Aaliyah sees me. "SHAWN YOU DICKHEAD!" She screams at me. "God keep it down, would you!" I say being annoyed by the loudness. "NO I WON'T! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU FUCKING DID!?" She says continuing to scream at me. "NO? I CANT REMEMBER SHIT BUT SERIOUSLY KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!" I say yelling back at her frustrated. "Oh my god of course you can't remember when you were wasted the whole night!" She says more quiet this time. "Oh shit I've really messed up, haven't I?" I say worried. "Ehm yeah if you mean that you made Kelsey cry then I do say you messed up pretty much." She says really annoyed with me. "Fuck, I need to talk with her!" I say starting to panic a bit. "What are you standing there for? GO ALREADY!" She says louder this time. I don't say anything, I just rush downstairs and walk off to her place. I still can't fully remember what I did, but one thing is for sure. This time I've really messed up with her.


Jake's POV.

I wake up by noise coming from Kelsey's room. I sleepy as I am get myself out of bed and walk to her room. "Morning." I say as I enter her room. "Oh shit!" She says while jumping a little in shock. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." I say. "It's fine, I just didn't know you were here." She says. "Yeah well, I just wanted to stay over to make sure you were okay." I say with a smile. "Did I get drunk or something? Cause I can't seem to remember much from last night." She says and then groans in pain holding her hand to her head. "Yeah, really drunk like kinda wasted but what is the last you remember though?" I ask her. "Oh no, did I do anything stupid? Ehm I found Shawn drunk and we fought, that's the last thing I remember?" She says yawing. "Ah okay, yeah but don't worry about it. Did you take the pills I put for you?" I say. "Yeah I did, thank you for that. My head still hurts though." She says groaning. "It will get better don't worry, now maybe you should get changed out the dress?" I say chuckling a little. "Oh that's right I'm still wearing it, thanks for just letting me sleep in it." She says with a smile. "Of course, now I'll leave you so you can change." I say. But just as I say that, the doorbell rings. "I'll go get that, just continue." I tell her and then walk downstairs.
Once I reach the door, I quickly open it to see a guy looking like Shawn standing there. "Oh hey Shawn right?" I ask the guy. "That's me yes, but who the heck are you?" He says kinda rude. I notice he tenses up and the jealousy in his eyes lights up. He must remember me. "I'm Jake, Kelsey's friend and I stayed in the guest room okay? Her dad isn't home and neither is Scott so someone had to make sure she was okay as she was really drunk last night." I say with a reassuring smile. "Wait she was drunk too? All I remember myself is seeing her arrive with you?" He says still tensed up. "Yes and she got drunk because of you. I have no idea what exactly went down between the two of you cause she hasn't told me yet, but I can assure you nothing is going on between us okay?" I say. Right before he's about to speak up it looks like he remembers something. "But you two kissed? I have a small clip in my brain about seeing that last night?" He says full of jealousy in his eyes. "Come inside and I can explain it all." I tell him and let him inside. "You sure have some explaining to do." He says still tensed up. "As said I don't know what happened that caused her to be hurt, but she was hurt so she got really drunk. You're not wrong, she did kiss me but she doesn't even remember it so please let that go okay? She was drunk and hurt, nothing is going on between us I can assure you of that." I tell him honestly. "Why can't I seem to believe that though? She's gotten a new friend while I'm away and she brings you along?" He says still with jealousy in his face. "Okay, I tried to be nice, but not anymore. We're friends okay? She fucking pushed me away as in friend zoned me because her heart belongs to you! Dammit she was drunk and hurt for fuck sake, like this ain't the first time she's tried to get drunk to forget about something which has to do with you!" I say really annoyed. I really don't see what she sees in him, he's so full of himself and has major trust issues. "Wait what? What do you mean with she's gotten drunk before because of me?" He says a bit confused. "The night we met she wanted to get drunk as she was hurting from the way you left, with the song thing. If Scott hadn't pulled her away she would have succeeded with it and done something stupid just as last night! Do you even have any idea of much trouble I'm in for letting her get drunk?" I say slightly pissed off. "Oh I had no idea, fuck I've really messed up again but no I don't know?" He says more calmed down. "I literally promised Scott to make sure she didn't do anything stupid while he was gone but I screwed up! He's gonna be so mad when he finds out, especially because it's me she ended up kissing like you're not the only one who fucked up! But hey at least I'm not the one who hurt her." I say really frustrated. "As I know Scott really well, we're both kinda screwed. We're lucky if he doesn't kill us when he finds out, but you're not wrong it is me who hurt her. Man I really have messed up this time!" He says full of guilt. Just as he says that Kelsey comes down the stairs. "Hey, who was at the door?" She says while focusing on going down the stairs. But before I can get to say anything she looks up and sees Shawn. "What is he doing here?" She says with hurt filled in her voice. "Hey, can we talk?" Shawn asks her. "I asked what is he doing here?" She asks me again ignoring him. "He figured he messed up, but I really don't be a part of this so maybe you guys could just talk it through?" I tell her with a comforting smile. "I'm really sorry Kels, can we please talk?" Shawn then says. "Sorry isn't gonna do it this time, you really hurt me." She says looking like she could burst into crying any minute. "I know, but I really do feel bad about it, can we just please talk?" He says. "He knows he hurt you this time, but I really think you should talk it through with him." I tell her. "Please Kelsey!" Shawn says. "Okay, fine." She says calmly. "I'll just leave so you guys can talk alone." I tell her with a smile. "No! Please don't go." She quickly says with a worried look on her face. "Okay, but I really don't want to be dragged into this so isn't it just best I go?" I ask her a bit unsure. "Please don't go." She says really close to break into tears. "Okay, I won't go but I'll go upstairs okay?" I tell her. "Thank you." She just says with a grateful smile.
