12. Just Stop
"I can't believe you kissed him Soph." Shawn told me for the thousandthtime. I honestly don't see what his problem is.
"Yes Shawn I kissed him. For the thousandth time can't you just be happy for me? You told me to move on from my ex and I have." I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him.
"I'm happy you've moved on but did it have to be Reed?" He turned towards me.
"What's your problem with this?" I stepped closer to him, my eyes still narrowed and my arms still crossed.
"You kissed him." Like I never heard that before.
"Yes I think we've witnessed Reed and I kissed. Can we move on from that now?" I groaned at him and he just rolled his eyes.
"I'm only protecting you Soph. He's - "
"I don't need protecting thanks. I'm a big girl now. I don't need my twin brother watching out for me al lithe time okay. I'm not 5." With that I climbed in my bunk on the bus and closed the curtain.
"I don't want you to get hurt Soph."
"Reed won't hurt me Shawn. He cares about me, whenever I'm with him I feel like I'm a better person."
"Well is till don't want you to get hurt again." As soon as he said that I heard footsteps come onto the bus and I knew straight away that it was Reed.
"Hey Shawn." He spoke quietly and nervously.
"Can we talk?" He asked him. I peaked my head out of the curtain slightly. Reed looked nervously and Shawn just stood there, leaning against a cupboard.
"So I've been doing some thinking and - "
"Is this about you kissing my sister?" Shawn asked him, crossing his arms against his chest. God, sow times I just wish he would be happy for me. I mean sure my last boyfriend was... Kind of a dick but that doesn't mean all the guys I like from now on will be dicks... Right?
"I'm sorry if I had known it would cause this much of a problem then I wouldn't have done it." Reed spoke with a soft and apologetic voice. Was he seriously apologising for kissing me? I didn't know it was a crime...
"I've done a lot of thinking since that kiss and this whole situation and I've come to a decision..."
What decision did he have to make? Please don't tell me Shawn was making him choose whether he should be with me or not...
"Which is..." Shawn pulled a confused face at him. Maybe he wasn't making him do anything...
"I'm quitting the tour." Reed just blurted out.
"what?"
"I thought it would be easier if I just quit so I wasn't in the way of you and your sister and I think it would be unfair if I was the reason you two just fought." Once Reed had spoken he ran off the bus. Shawn was just stood there shocked and speechless. I opened the curtain and he stared at me, just as confused as I was.
"This is all your fault." I blurted out to him, jumping down from my bunk.
"Well if you hadn't of kissed him."
"Oh stop blaming this on me. He kisses me ok. HE kissed me. This is not my fault. I'm 16 Shawn, so are you. I don't need you to babysit me anymore I'm not a child so just stop protecting me." I yelled at him and he stared down at his feet nervously.
"And honestly I wouldn't give a damn about who you kiss because it's none of my business on whether you like someone or not. So why is it your business when I kiss Reed?" Once I said what I needed to say I jogged off the tour bus and scanned the parking lot for Reed but he was no where to be seen.
"Reed has gone now. Way to go Shawn." I stormed back on the bus and grabbed my phone, calling Reed...
No answer...
