ENCHANTED - A SHAWN MENDES FANFIC

Chapter. 6

note: I'm really sorry for the late update but I'm really stupid bc I just found out I never updated this chapter and instead I left it as a draft since last week. Lol wow congrats nai!!

Natalie's POV:

I hear nothing. No footsteps. Nothing. I sat there and the only thing you could hear was my heart beating fast, it was that quiet. And then I hear it again, same type of footsteps I heard following me back home. I slowly move my eyes around hoping that it was just noise I heard from my mind, but instead I see a tall shadow walking towards the hallway, towards me.

I scream for help, and I suddenly forget how to stand up and run to get the phone. Now I know why they do that in movies. But it feels weird, like this is really happening to me, I was gonna die, and I will never get to see him again. Shawn.
I scream once again even though I know it wasn't loud enough for people to hear me. My face is now wet with tears.

" looks like you's got a nice place after all didn't ye?" someone says from the kitchen.

I can't see his face through the tears, but I knew this guy, his voice sounded familiar...like my fathers. But it couldn't be him, how would he know where we live? He should be dead by now from all those drugs he's been taking all these years.

As I wipe my tears my vision gets clearer, and I see a tall figure standing in front of me. Brown greasy hair that land just above his shoulders, short unkempt beard, a cigarette in his mouth and a bottle of vodka in his hand... It was my father. The thought of him still being alive makes me sick.

"Ye'r mother left me and treated me like I was nothing to her? Stupid bitch thinks it's all about her. She'd be nothin' without me I'm tellin' ya now!"

"How did you know where we are?! You we're not supposed to know where we were and the police told you to stay away from us!" I scream.

"Shut ye'r mouth ye little skank. I knew you'd turn out just like ye'r ma"

" Don't you talk like that about my mother!" I scream at him. He can call me bad names all he wants but I can't let him disrespect my mother. No one can. " you don't even know my mother that well, you should be happy she didn't send you to jail you bastard!"

His eyes that were ignorantly looking around the house slowly shift to mine, his evil smirk fades.

" what did you just call me?!" I can just tell that he wants to beat me up right now. And he does.

As he comes closer to me I try getting the door but only manage to open it.

" Where do ye think you're going?" he says as he grabs my wrist and twists it. He grabs my face closer to his which is so close that I can almost taste his sick breath. But his green eyes, there's something about them that tell me that this is not what he wants, and that he's been through a lot of pain and had sleepless nights. Could it be possible that he's only mad at me because of my mother? Surely she did something wrong to make him hate her so much. But then it doesn't seem like it. Maybe he's just like that. Cruel.

He pushes me and I bang the back of my head on the wall. He lets out a little laugh. " I really miss doing this" .

Okay, he's definately cruel!

He punches my face and aims right at my jaw and I see blood coming out from my mouth. He punches me again, this time he aims for my stomach. For a second I can't breath, like all the air around me has disapeared, I can feel bile coming up my throat and I want to puke. All I can think of now was Shawn, not even my mother but Shawn, a guy I barely knew.

" Your ma was a prostitute before she married me. I hepled her stop that and gave her all my money" he whispers in my ears. " she doesn't even love ye, she wanted to have an abortion when she found out she was gonna have ye. She doesn't love ye, she only fakes now that she doesn't have anyone else. I loved ye, but no anymore."

Another hit, which is right beside my left eye. I can see black spots in the coner of my eye and my vision gets blurry, and I fall.

Shawns POV:

I don't know what just happened with Natalie and Lauren, but it's definately not good. After our first class finishes I decide to go to Natalie's house. Yes I know where she lives because, I'm not gonna lie, but I followed her the other day after shool. It's a good thing I did though, I mean if I hadn't I couldn't go to her now and comfort her...well that's if only she lets me. (who wouldn't let u comfort them shawn??!! )

I walk past Lauren, who thought I was going to hug her and talk to her, but I don't, completely rejecting her. ( #thuglife )

As I'm walking out I feel like somethings wrong, like somebody needs help. I feel the urge to go to Natalie's house as fast as I can because I'm really worried about her. What if she's hurting herself? ( no actually her fathers hurting her shawn ).

When I reach her house I run to her door which was open. Uh oh, something wasn't right. ( duhh )

I slowly open the door and look inside, to see the most horrible thing I have ever seen in my life. Natalie was lying on the ground coughing out blood and a tall man was standing beside her. I know I'm tall but he was taller and had a nice body but an ugly face. Wow goals. Instead of looking at him I think smartly and ring the cops and tell them everything that I saw. But I can't just have the cops come in and arrest him, I need to have a word with him myself.

I open the door. "HEY!" I call out making myself look all tough. "What are you doing here and what do you want?" ( great questions son)

" More like who the fuck are you? Does her ma like younger lads now?" he checks me out and laughs.

" Please don't cuss, I don't like that stuff. And what do you mean?" I ask.

"Nothing, how do you know them?" he asks as he walks towards me.

" uh... well I know Natalie, from school, she's a friend." I say walking backwards because this man seems like he's going to beat me up too.

" huh! Natalie? Is that what she says her name is? Her name's Shauna ( pronounced shawna), how can you be her friend? If she's lied to you about her name, that means she's lied to ye about a lot of things, and if you're wondering how I know all that stuff, I'm her father."

Her father? But why would he beat her up? And Natalie wouldn't lie to me, I mean what kind of name is Shawna? Like if she's embarrassed about her name and is trying to hide it then I'm not surprised, although its sounds kind of like my name lol.

" why did you do that to her?" I ask. I don't think I could do much because if I went close he'll knock me out in a second, and besides the police are coming and he doesn't know, so I can keep him busy now and when the police come he cant run away.

" none a ye'r business" he shouts and as he says that we hear the police cars. And he looks afraid. Ha coward, I thought. He has nowhere to go .
