Hello beautiful readers out there. I had this idea going around my head about Lindsey and Shay and I really hope you like it, specially the Paily shippers. Just to let you know some of the facts, anecdotes or interviews I'm using for this fic are totally invented by me, the other facts that you recognize on the road are facts that the actresses themself shared with the public eye.
Well, you know that I don't own Pretty Littla Liars or any of their characters (otherwise I'll be rich, haha)
So this is the first chapter, let me know what you think about it I would love to read your comments.
Shay's POV
It's so good to be home again; the past few weeks have been really hard for me, my job as model have me travelling around the world and I barely have time for myself. I knew from the beginning that this wouldn't be easy, and don't get me wrong I really love what I do, but sometimes I wish I could have a normal life; with enough time to do other things I like or to spent more time with my friends or just have that special someone who wait for me when I come back home.
Luckily for me; I've been able to handle not just an impeccable career as a model but to maintain a very private personal life, in spite of the cameras and the media. Not to mention that my friends and family have been a very important part of my life through this whole process, their support has been the impulse to start in this fabulous but sometimes twisted word of fashion.
The first thing I had to do to start my career was to look for an agent and Julia Parker was the chosen one. She has been my agent since the beginning of my career when I was 14. My first gig was as a model for a fashion campaign, after that some other companies call me to work with them and my parents thought that it would be a good idea to have an agent who helps me with my agenda, the contracts and all that stuff. Julia is a friend of my parents so she was the best option for me.
It's being that way for the past 8 years and now we are trying to venture into television. Recently Julia got me a role on a Tv show, it's just a supporting role for a couple of episodes but the good news is that they are shooting on Canada so I'd be able to stay at home for a while.
Now that I'm back I could share some time with Blaney, my best friend in the whole world. Michaela Blaney and I have been friends since I can remember, I've known her my whole life; she is like a sister to me and has been there with me through the good and the bad things. I trust her completely and she is one of the few people who know the truth about me.
Thank God distance hasn't being an obstacle to keep our friendship, in fact I had lucky that she had the time to travel with me sometimes and when she is not traveling with me, she is the first one waiting for me at home, and today couldn't be different. I was so glad to hear her voice when I got home.
"Come on Mitchy, you have to tell me every detail from your trip. Madrid must be an amazing city" Right now we were sitting on my living room talking non-stop about my trip to Spain
"Oh yes it is, I wish you could go with me Blaney it was awesome, we have to go some other time"
"Definitely" She made a pause and then looked at me mischievously "Now, I have to ask… Someone I should know about?" I know where this is going
"Just a few drinks with a colleague. No big deal" I said nonchalantly
"Interesting…" She said sarcastically
"What?"
"Nothing"
"Don't say 'nothing' to me Blaney. I know you have something to say. Come on spit it out"
"It's just… I know you since forever, Shay and I've never seeing you interested in anybody" I look at her confuse "I mean like in a real relationship"
"You know is hard to be in a relationship when you're traveling all the time, besides is not easy to meet someone in this business" I said that so many times that I'm starting to believe it
"You and I know that that is not the reason for you to be single" she says matter of factly
"Blaney, we talk about this every time I come back from a trip… my career is very important to me and I can't risk everything I have just for being in a real relationship" I say getting a little annoyed
"You say that now but what would it happen if one day you just… fall in love with somebody?" I wanted to laugh but she was so serious that I thought it would be rude if I did, so I just put a question face
"What are you talking about?" Although this wasn't the first time we talk about my love life this looks like a question she's been hiding for a long time.
"I'm serious Shay, you've been dating because Julia has told you that it would be good for your image if people see you with some random guy from time to time but, you've never been interested in any of them because that's not what you're looking for. The romantic field has been just part of your job so far but what would it happen if one day you meet the person you've been waiting all you're live to be with and fall in love. Would you be able to keep your secret and sacrifice that love?"
If only she knew how many times I made that same question to myself, too bad I'm still looking for the right answer
"So you just want me to make a press conference and announce to the whole world that I'M GAY just in case the right person appears in my life?" the only idea it's ridiculous
"What I'm saying is that I'm really proud of all the things you've achieved in your life, you've worked really hard for it but I would be really disappointed if I see you cry because you never had the change to be with the person you really want"
Her words always makes me think about my future, I know some day I would have to say the truth but for now this is what I have; my family, my friends and my career
"When the day comes we'll talk about it ok? But for now just let me enjoy our time together, I promise you would be the first one to know if something happen" I smile at her trying to convince her that this is what makes me happy right now
"Ok" she sighed defeated "but just so you know I have to be the first one to meet her after you found her ok?" I laughed and nodded
"Deal"
We kept talking about different stuff until my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw that it was Julia calling
"Hey Julia, what's up?"
"Shay… I have excellent news" she was so excited that she was almost yelling at the other side of the line
"Oook… calm down, what is it?"
"I got you an audition for a new American show; it will be in L.A"
"Really, that is so freaking awesome. What's the name of the show?"
"Pretty Little Liars"
"I like that name… is pretty cool"
"I know, right… this could be a great opportunity Shay"
"Ok, come home and we'll talk about the details"
"Of course… I'll see you in a few"
I have a good feeling about this…
You know what to do... See ya :)
