My Brother's Best Friend

"Are you fucking serious." you said, looking down at the gun.

"Yes, I want revenge." he replied, simply.

"We were sixteen, come on." you said, slowly distancing yourself but he just kept coming closer. "I'm literally wearing Gucci." you said, trying to stop him.

"You're just gonna lose again." you said finally, knowing you wouldn't be able to chance his mind.

"You sure about that?" he said smirking before pulling the trigger.

You gasped as you felt the cold water hit your skin and slowly soaking your clothes.

"You. Asshole." you said, looking back up at him from your clothes as he just laughed his ass off.

As he did so, you managed to take the gun from him and now you were the one pointing it at him.

"I actually liked this outfit!" you whined as you splashed him with water.

"You're so dead." he said, glaring at you but smiling.

And so he started chasing you as you ran away. He eventually got the gun back and you started running even faster until you stopped, groaning and reaching down to your ankle.

"Y/n, are you okay?" he asked, now concerned, putting his one hand on the small of your back to make sure you wouldn't fall or something.

"N-no, my ankle. It hurts." you groaned again.

"Okay, Okay, let me look at it." he bent down, letting the water gun fall to the ground and you laid your hand in his back to support yourself as he inspected your ankle.

"Got ya." you grinned, "This is for my outfit." you said before pushing him into the lake.

It was now your turn to laugh your ass off.

"You bitch!" he said after resurfacing.

You tried to get away as fast as possible but it was too late. He had already picked you up and carried you into the water with him.

The water was up to your knees while you continued to splash each other.

You started to feel cold and your clothes heavy so you got out. Tom went and brought some towels he had prepared.

You were sitting on the ground looking out at the lake as Tom wrapped one around you before sitting down next to you.

"Thanks for Today, it was really nice." you said, leaning your head on his shoulder.

"You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it." he smiled, putting his hand around you and pulling you closer, warming you up more.

"I love you." you blurted.

You didn't know from where you had gotten the sudden urge to tell him but you didn't regret it. You loved him and you wanted him to know.

"What?" he asked, turning his head to look at you, not sure if he had heard you right.

"I love you." you repeated, staring back at him, suddenly feeling scared.

But you relaxed when you saw him start to smile, soon grinning ear to ear.

"I love you too."

He started to lean in and so did you until your lips met. It was a very soft and delicate kiss, full passion but mainly love.

He was the one for you and you were the one for him. You both knew it.

You slowly pulled away, smiling once more before looking out at the lake again and watching the sunset.

Addison had asked you if you'd accompany her to her first day of being a dancer in Shawn's music video.

Originally, Harrison was going to but he got caught up in an unplanned meeting. He promised to pick her up though.

You drove to Addison and Haz's house and texted her, telling her you were outside.

A couples minutes later, she came out and entered your car.

"Hi." she greeted as she sat down.

"Hey," you smiled, putting your phone away, "You excited?" you asked.

"Yes, very." she nodded, buckling up.

You chuckled before starting the car and driving to the location. You arrived at the building and as soon as you entered it you could see the whole set. There were people pacing around, looking busy.

A woman then greeted the both of you, asking what you were here for.

"Um I'm Addison Bree, one of the dancers and this is Y/n Y/l/n, she's just came with me." Addison presented you.

"Okay, follow me." The woman smiled and you did as she said.

She leaded you to a room, full of other dancers and then passed you two to another woman who gave Addison the clothes she had to wear.

Once Addison was done, she had to go in.

"Will you be okay here?" she asked you.

"Yeah, i'll just...walk around or something." you smiled.

"Okay, see you later. Thanks for coming." she said, giving you a hug.

"No worries." she pulled away. "Good luck and have fun!" you said as she started walking towards the door.

"Thank you!" she said and then she was out.

You sat down on a chair and hung on your phone for a little bit.

A little bit turned into two hours because you started watching the episodes of The Vampire Diaries you had downloaded earlier.

You finally decided it was time to get out. You stood up and stretched before making your way out and bumping into a person.

"Oh sorry!" you both apologized immediately.

"Y/n?" they said and you looked up to see Shawn.

"Hey." you said.

"Hi," he went in for a hug, "what are you doing here?" he asked but smiled after pulling away.

"Oh, um one of the dancers is my brother's girlfriend and i came with her." you explained.

"What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be filming?" you asked.

"I'm on a break right now." he chuckled.

"Ah." you nodded and it fell silent, both of you not knowing how to continue the conversation.

"Wanna sing something?" he suddenly asked.

"Sing?" you raised your eyebrows.

"Yeah, I just noticed I've never heard you sing before..." he said. "Maybe we could sing something together?"

"Sure, why not." you smiled.

You went with him and got his guitar. You then sat at a place in the middle of the set, everyone else still pacing around.

"Any song you'd like?" he asked.

"Um yeah, it's one of yours actually...I think it's called 'Why'." you said and he nodded, adjusting his guitar before starting to play.

I know a girl, she's like a curse
We want each other, no one will break first
So many nights, trying to find someone new
They don't mean nothing compared to her, and I know

He let you sing the next verse alone.

When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off
I don't know why we act like it means nothing at all
I wish that I could tell you that you're all that I want, yeah

Meanwhile, everyone had gathered around the two of you, listening to you sing.

Harrison was picking up Addison like promised and also brought Tom along. They had split up so that Haz could search for Addi and Tom for you.

But Tom wasn't that amused when he found you singing with Shawn.
