Shannon's P.O.V

Ah, fall. The time of the year when the weather isn't too hot but at the same time, not too cold. It's not my favorite season, but hey, it's better then winter. I really hate winter. The white blanket we call snow makes it hard for me to get around. Guess I can worry about it when the time comes.

As for today though, today's the music festival and I'm excited. I really love music. I wonder what kind of music they'll have. Should I bring my guitar? I'll bring it anyway. Who knows? Maybe they'll let me play something?

Oh. In case you were wondering, what had happened at the restaurant with Raeger, I'm trying to forget about that little accident. I said trying. It seems he already has. He hasn't brought it up yet. Yet. And to be honest, I prefer it to stay that way. I even didn't tell Annie. We almost kissed, of course I wasn't going to tell her. I'm still figuring this out myself. Still don't know what to think. Part of me is telling me to go for it and tell Raeger my feelings, while the other part of me is telling me to keep my mouth shut. I know what you're thinking. Feelings? What feelings? Well, funny thing is, after that little accident that night, I had realized my true feelings for him. Yes I like Raeger. That's why I'm trying to forget about the event we almost shared. I'm afraid to get hurt again okay? Mark breaking my heart back in spring was the last straw. Rather not go down that road again. I had it. I'm done with romance.


At the trade depot, I listened to the villagers as they were playing their song. It's so pretty. These people are very good actually. I was sitting alone but I kept glancing in Raeger's direction. He was sitting with Lillie as usual. It bothered me for some reason. I've met Lillie and she's nice, but for some reason I don't like the way they are sitting. Why are they so close to each other? No one should be that close. Not even Annie and Klaus are that close. And hold on, is Lillie laughing? Why is she laughing? God. I'd like to slap that stupid grin off of the girl's face-and oh my god. What am I saying? It's like I'm jealous or something. Wait am I jealous?

"At this time, people are welcome to ask others to dance while our lovely piano player play something." Veronica's voice had brought me back to reality.

"Wait." I made my way towards to the front, which made everyone looked at me. Even Raeger. "Miss Veronica. I brought my guitar with me. May I play something? Please? This girl can join me if she wishes." I smiled at the girl at the piano.

"Let her do it!" Annie called out.

"I'd be happy to follow her Miss Veronica," the girl at the piano gave me a smile.

"Well, I don't see why not, thank you Shan,"

"No problem." I faced the girl at the piano before noticing a drum set behind her. I have a idea. I faced the crowd before me. "Anyone play the drums?" I asked.

"I do." A young man with brown hair and blue eyes walked forward.

"And you are..."

"Chase."

"Thank you Chase." I smiled at the boy. I told the two teenagers what we're going to do before facing the crowd again. Luckily those two knew what I was talking about when I said we were going to play a country song.

"Um...I hope everyone doesn't mind but this song is one of my favorites. It's a slow song, so please, go ahead and ask that special someone to dance." At that moment, I was starting to regret those last few words. "I bring you, 'Crazier'."


"I'd never gone with the wind

Just let it flow

Let it take me where it wants to go

'Til you open the door

There's so much more

I'd never seen it before

I was trying to fly

But I couldn't find wings

But you came along and you changed everything"

"You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in your eyes

You make me crazier, crazier, crazier"

"I've watched from a distance as you made life your own

Every sky was your own kind of blue

And I wanted to know how that would feel

And you made it so real

You showed me something that I couldn't see

You opened my eyes

And you made me believe"

"Baby you showed me what living is for

I don't wanna hide anymore

Oh oh"

"You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm fallin' and I am lost in your eyes

You make me crazier, crazier, crazier

Crazier, crazier"


Well, like I said, I regretted saying those last few words. Like I had expected, as soon as I started to sing, Raeger got up and had asked Lillie to dance. Well, fuck. My heart ached at that moment. I knew it was coming but still. It hurts. I tried to stayed focused on my song.


Raeger's P.O.V

"Thanks for dancing with me, Lillie. You're the best friend that a guy could ask for." To be honest I was going to keep Shan company before she had asked to sing. I didn't know that she could sing. She has a beautiful voice.

"It's no problem. You really like her huh? You've been staring at her all day." She giggled. "Even now."

"I can't help it." I paused. "She's full of surprises. Like, I didn't know she could sing."

"I knew." Annie past us.

"She knew. Of course she knew. Why am I not surprised."

"Well to be fair, Annie knew Shan before we did. And you, well, met her in the street." Lillie poked my arm. "Do I have to remind you that you almost kissed her."

Why did I ever tell her that? I smiled innocently. "Keep your voice down will you? You're the only person I've told."

"Fine. But you really should tell her your feelings. Don't let this jealousy you have towards Kamil stop you."


Jealousy scene part two! XD

Btw the song I used is sang by Taylor Swift :)
