Driving Me Crazy

Chapter 54

James' POV

"How did it go with Shawn?" Becca asks me as I walk into the kitchen and she pulls me in for a kiss.

"It went great actually.  He really loves her." I sigh happily as I lean down to kiss my girl again. "Mmmm...I love kissing you." I hum happily against her lips as she runs her fingers through my hair, pulling me closer to her.

I hoist her on my hips as she deepens the kiss before sitting her down on the kitchen island. Her legs wrap around me as I pull her closer, pushing the worries of the world away.

"People eat on that you know." We hear Camila bark as she enters the room. She looks worn down in her favorite pair of sweats and a messy bun.

Becca and I break apart and I help her down as she gives me a peck on the lips before whispering that she'll leave me alone to talk to my sister. I grab her hand and give her a thankful look before she walks over to Camila and hugs her before walking off.

"Where were you? What did I hear about Shawn?" Camila wastes no time asking me.

"Mila...come sit with me." I say as I reach for my sisters hand.  As stubborn as she is, she actually follows me to the living room and takes the opposite end of the couch.  Her gaze doesn't directly meet mine, but she tells me that she'll listen while I talk.

"I went to see Shawn today." I start.

"Why?" She asks incredulously; a pained expression across her face.

"Because he was pathetic in trying to get you back and he needed to know what dad has done. And I needed to hear for myself why he did what he did." I say.

"I know what dad has done James and it doesn't change anything.  Fact of the matter is Shawn still chose racing over me." She says sadly as tears build behind her brown eyes.  "That's what hurts the most.  He didn't trust our relationship enough to be honest with me." She sighs, fidgeting with the pillow on her lap.  I can see the hurt she's trying to mask, but I know better.  She's about to break and I just hope that Shawn gets to her before it's too late.

"It's not that simple Mila and you know that.  All I'm saying is give him a chance.  I know you still love him." I say, hoping it makes some sort of sense to her.

"Sometimes love isn't enough James."

"You're right about that sis; but if two people are meant to be, love always finds a way." I say sincerely as I stand up and walk to her, kissing her forehead and I pull her up from the couch.

"Come on girl, Becca and I want you to come with us today.  We have wedding planning to do and you need to find something to wear for the party.  Something that screams 'eat your heart out' or whatever you want it to say!" I chuckle as a small smile spreads across her face.

I pull her into a tight hug.  "Don't let dad win Mila, if you love Shawn as much as you say you do, you should hear him out.  I think you deserve to hear what he has to say." I say quietly between the two of us.

"Now go change into something less 'blah' and meet us in the kitchen in 15." I smirk as I wave my hand at her outfit, making her laugh and the roll her eyes in disgust as she stalks up the stairs.

Camila's POV

Today ended up being a much needed day; despite the paps chasing after me and trying to get a comment on my break-up. It was good to get out and spend time with my brother and future sister-in-law. Becca actually helped me pick out this amazing dress for Shawn's going away party that will no doubt make all the boys go crazy. She and I even talked a little and she gave me some perspective.
