Smosh summer games: Shourtney

Chapter 10 ~ Friends, Really Good Friends

~Courtney's POV~

Things were weird, very weird for the next few days. Competition after competition rolled on, and before we knew it we were at closing ceremonies. It was official: we lost summer games. Wes somehow managed to be MVP, which blew everyone's mine, and Joven has most epic moment for his perfect 30 belly flop. This was a strange summer games to say the least. LVP went to Keith, poor guy. And biggest fail went to Sunny, because he slipped and bruised his tailbone on the way into the pool.
We closed out filming of the closing ceremonies and heard Matt Raub yell "That's a wrap!" We all cheered and hugged, and we headed back to our rooms for the last time. We were going to leave in the morning, early the next morning, and it was 6:00 pm when we finished filming.
I hadn't talked to Shayne pretty much at all in the last few days, and everyone was heading out by the fire except him, so I decided to go to our room and talk to him, and sort out what I was feeling, because I was still confused about our whole little "friendly" situation.

I knocked on the door and walked in on Shayne's "come in". I walked in and sat down next to him on his bed.

"So." I said.

"So."

"What's going on between us Shayne? I know how you feel but I'm so confused. What's happening?"

"Wha- What? What do you mean?"

He was a bit taken aback, and I was actually a bit shocked by myself as well, I wanted answers, but I didn't expect to spit it right out.

"You know what I mean. We said we were friends after passionately making out with each other. Just friends. Something tells me you have to be pretty good friends for that to happen Shayne."

"Look Court, I already told you how I feel. That's why I kissed you the first time and why I made the second one much more passionate. I wanted it, I wanted you Courtney. I really like you, and I don't wanna lose you as my friend but at the same time, I really just wish we could be together. People saw us kiss that first time. Damien knows everything that has happened, and from what he told me, Joven saw it all too. I don't know if it's something in the air here at summer games but maybe there is something between us."

"Shayne..."

I stopped and looked at him. A tear rolled from each eye. I felt Deja vu as I watched him continually spill his heart out for me again.

"What's worse is we work together Court, and in the entertainment industry this stuff shouldn't happen and you know it and I know it. It almost never ends positively. But I want to be that exception. I always thought when I found someone I truly felt strongly about and that I really had deep feelings for, I'd realize it, despite anything that might've held me back. But now I realize I was wrong. You snuck right up on me Courtney, and I didn't wanna believe it. But I believe it now. I... Courtney... Uh..."

Oh no. Please don't say it I won't stop myself if he says it.

"I love you Courtney."

I looked up at his tear stained face with a tear stained face of my own. I saw the glimmer of his ocean blue eyes, and he definitely saw something in mine as well. Everything about him seemed so... perfect. Like the moment at the fire pit. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him in. Our lips came right together and immediately picked up where they left off. I felt every cell in my body jump up and down from the chills this kiss sent down my spine. I felt what he said. I knew he loved me. And I wasn't sure how I felt. He reciprocated the kiss by wrapping his arms around my waist and by pull me closer to him. We continued doing what we were doing for about five more minutes, until we finally broke. Passion was an understatement. I felt the love he had for me.it was a feeling I had never had before.

"Friends?"

Did he really just try to pull that shit again?

"No no Topp, we are talking this out."

"I did all my talking! And then YOU kissed ME! Courtney I'm sorry but you have to decide, do you feel the same way?"

~Shayne's POV~

She sat there stunned at me snapping at her. She was frozen.

"I'm sorry..." I said. "I'm gonna leave to let you think." I got up slowly and walked to the door. I walked out it and decided I would go for a walk. I left a note on the table so no one would worry about me, and decided I'd take a familiar path that I hadn't been down since the beginning of the games...

~Courtney's POV~

He left me sitting there. Alone with my thoughts. I watched him walk out the front door through the window by his bed. He was walking... into the forest?! I instantly began panicking when I realized he probably wanted to clear his head.

But he's right too. I DO need to decide. And I think the reason I'm so afraid to decide is because I'm scrubs both answers are the wrong answers.
There's no doubt that I feel something with him, something strong. But work? And Smosh? What'll I do about that?

"Ughhhhh!!" I groaned as turned so I was face down on his bed. I smelled his smell on the bed. I love the way he smells.

"You gonna stop sniffing that pillow and go after him?"

I picked up my head to see Joven standing in the doorway.

"Joven?"

"Listen Courtney. I may not know a lot about many things. But I do know about love. I am married after all, so I really do understand what it's like. I was so scared to ask out my wife when we were younger, but I knew what we had was strong feelings for each other, and it was something special, something I had never felt before for any other person. People don't think I can be of assistance. But here, he left a note on the table before he walked out, and considering it says whoever finds it should bring it to you, I think he wants you to follow him. So Courtney, remember, I may not know a lot, but I know that you love him. Have a good night Courtney."

I sat there and watched Joven leave the room. I never realized how down to earth he was when he wasn't busy being the clumsy crazy Joven that we all are used to.

I opened the letter, which was just a folded piece of paper that said Courtney on the outside. I read the words out loud.

Come run away to where time stops

-Shayne

My heart fluttered. The lake. I threw on a hoodie and shoes and ran out the door. I ran through the forest until I finally reached the lake, and the entire time I had one thought on my mind.

I'm in love with Shayne Topp.

AUTHORS NOTE

I love this chapter so much y'all. I do a little time hop because if I would've played out time it would've been just filler, which I'm not a fan of, and I had a bit of block for this chapter which is why I waited a bit to get it out. I hate giving filler filler and more filler to you guys because y'all deserve my best, and I tried to provide with this one.

Also shoutout to Joven in this chapter, I love how him and Damien have played huge parts in this story as supporting characters. I love writing for them. Anyways that's about it, hope y'all enjoyed!
