Chapter 22

Meredith hit me.




"Ow," I winced. "I knew that coming."




"Did it hurt?" She asked.




I nodded.




"Good," She smirked. "and don't ask how it went with Josh and I, because I won't tell you."




I frowned. "Well, how about at the end of the week?"




"I'll think about it," She said.




~•~•~•~




It was a pretty boring week overall. The drama about Cody, Meredith, and I died down. I couldn't wait to hear what Meredith had to say about Josh.




"Soo, it's Friday," I smiled.




"And?" Meredith asked as we walked to our locker at the end of the school day.




"Don't act like you don't know," I sassed.




"But I-," She started. "Ohh."




I smiled and nodded. "Get on with it!"




"I like him," She shrugged.




"That's all you're gonna say? Really?" I pouted.




~•~•~•~




Josh and Meredith continued Skyping each other, I guess. I never really knew. She didn't like to talk about it, which of course bugged the piss out of me.




In other news, Spring break was coming up soon. You could probably guess what I wanted to do.




"Mom?" I asked.




"Yes?" She responded.




"I know this'll be a stretch, but for Spring Break-"




"You wanna go to the UK, don't you?" she guessed giving me a look.




I nodded. "But you've always said you wanted to go."




"True, yes," She agreed. "but it'll cost a lot of money."




"I know. I understand if you don't want to go," I said.




I left it at that and went up to my room. I wanted to talk to Cody, discuss the idea with him.




"Hello?" Cody answered.




"Hey, Cody," I said.




"Hey, Shannon," He responded.




"How's the tour going?" I asked.




"Really good," He sounded happy. "My last concert in the UK is in Paris on March 19th."




"Can I ask you something?"




"Sure."




"Spring Break is coming up for me and I was wondering," I paused.




"You wanna come to Paris?" He guessed.




"Yes," I quickly responded. "I mean unless-"




"Of course I want you to come," He cut in. "I can fly you out."




"Cody, you don't have to do that."




"But I want to."




"I feel like you're always paying for me. It makes me feel bad."




"Don't feel bad. You're mine. I want to. Put your mom on the phone."




"Okay." I ran downstairs.




"What's up?" My mom asked looking at me.




"Cody wants to talk to you," I said handing her the phone.




"Oh," She seemed caught by surprised. "Hello?"




I stood by her and listened to her end of the conversation.




"Good. Oh, I don't know. That's too much I could never let you do that. Okay. Yes. I suppose. Thank you, you're a really nice boy. Okay here she is."




My mom handed me my phone and walked back up to my room. "So?" I asked Cody.




"She said yes," He happily responded.




I screamed a little. "How did you do it?"




"If you haven't noticed, I'm pretty charming."




"Haha! I love you!"




"I love you, too."




"Are you just flying me out?"




"Your mom, Meredith, and you."




"Oh, Cody. That's too much."




"Don't worry about it. I love you and I get to see you and you get to come and see London. It's worth it."




He made me want to cry. I tried to hold it in. "Thank you, Cody. I love you so much," I quietly said.




"I'll call you again when I get you tickets to fly out here."




"Okay, Cody. Thank you. I love you."




"Love you, too. I'll talk to you later."




We both hung up.




~•~•~•~




"Meredith?" I asked. It was Thursday, March 14th.




"Yes?"




"This is gonna sound last minute, but Cody asked us to come to London for Spring Break," I just blurted it out, figuring that'd be the best way to tell her.




"What?" She shrieked.




"Shh," I hushed her. "We're still in school." We stood by our locker. I checked to make sure no one heard what we said.




"When are we going?" She tried to calm down.




"Cody said we leave Saturday morning."




"Saturday?" She shrieked.




"Shh," I said while nodding my head.




"Oo! Can we have a sleep over Friday night then?" Meredith asked.




I nodded. "My house. You can just come home with me after school."




~•~•~•~




Saturday morning...




"Come on! Get up!" Meredith screamed at me.




I jumped up out of bed.




We quickly got ready and with that we left for the airport in no time. The airplane ride was long and boring, as you could of guess. We had to stop multiple places before catching a direct flight to London.




I looked out the window as we were about to land. This is it. I'm really in London.




When we landed, I called Cody.




"We're hear," I informed him. I was smiling from ear to ear.




"Yeww! I'll have my manager, Steve, pick you up. I'll get recognized too much," He said.




"Okay, see you soon, babe."




"See you. Love you."




"Love you."




We both hung up.




I got up from my plane seat and exited the plane with my mom and Meredith.










We found Steve. He held up a sign with our names on it. He drove us to the back entrance of the hotel Cody was staying at. We got up to Cody room. I knocked on the door. Cody opened it.




"Shannon," He breathed, embraced me, and picked me up. I kissed his cheek. He put me back down on the ground. We stood there, hugging each other.




"Um, yeah, sorry to break this up," Meredith interrupted. "But can we go to our room?"




I let go of Cody. "Cody, I'll be back." I kissed him on the cheek one last time and went to our room.




Our room was on the same floor as Cody's. After setting our bags down, and we all went back to Cody's room.




"Meredith!" Someone yelled.




We turned around.




"Alli!" Meredith screamed back. They hugged each other.




"Hi, Alli!" I waved to her.




"Hi, Shannon!" She said.




"Oh, Mary," Alli said to my mom. "If you come with me I'll show you where my mom is. You can chat with her."




"That'd be great!" My mom said excited.




"I'm gonna go to Cody's room," I told them and walked a little way to his room.




I knocked on his door again. He opened it and grabbed my hand and dragged me into his room, closing the door behind us.




He kissed me gently. "I missed you," He said as our lips parted.




"I missed you, too," I breathed.
