Saved (a Hayes Grier fanfic)

Chapter 22

"Get up, its already 3, your date is at 4:30" Ali said while crawling into my bed. Some people thinks it's crazy how a person can sleep all day but when you are as mentally exhausted and depressed as I am, it's easy. I used to sleep the whole day and go out and party at night, because I was so depressed and didn't want to face the world, but Ali would make me come out with her because she said she was "getting worried" about me. I'm sure she was worried but I knew she mostly just wanted someone to party with.

I got up from my warm bed and made my way from the dark room while Ali fell asleep in my bed. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I love showering, I take extremely long showers. I hopped in and let the hot water run down my back until I grabbed the shampoo and started washing my hair. I conditioned it and washed my body with a flower scented body wash. I looked at the ground and saw the water was red. My arm was bleeding again. I got out and dried off with a dark towel just in case any blood came got on it.
"Ali?"
"Whattttt?" She groaned still asleep. If anyone could sleep a day away it would be Ali. Mainly it's because she is lazy and parties too hard.
"Can you come help me wrap my arm?" I asked nicely because I knew she hated being woken up, even though she got up to wake me up. I didn't hear a response so I looked out the door of the bathroom and heard Ali slightly snoring. I sighed and went back in the bathroom. I didn't want to wake her up again so I got in some spanx and a big t-shirt and walked down the stairs and took the wrap for my arm with me. The boys were either in the pool or at the gym. I knew Shawn had medical experience so I went in the back yard to try to find him.

"Do you guys know where Shawn is?" I yelled from the sliding door.
They all directed their attention to me instead of the football the were playing with.
"Well good morning Beth. Or should I say after noon." Taylor said. All the boys laughed and I shook my head.
"Wait where's Ali?" Jack G asked. I smirked and said "oh, she's still sleeping. And trust me if you try to wake her up she will bite your head off." They all laughed because we all knew it was true.
"I think he's in the basement" Cameron said referring to my question.
"Ok thanks! " I said and made my way to the basement stairs.
The basement was pretty cool. It was a theater and had huge beanbags and big comfy chairs. Also in the basement was Shawn and Matts room. I guess I should have looked here first. I got to the basement and Shawns door was shut so I debated weather I should bother him or not. I crept to the door and instead of snoring, I heard a guitar and Shawn quietly singing. I smiled at the peaceful sound and knocked on the door because now I wanted to hear what he was working on. It's no secret that Shawn is an amazing singer with amazing songs, but he is very secretive about them until he releases them.
"Uh who is it?" He called through the door.
"It's Beth. I need your help"
I heard footsteps and be unlocked the door. I wonder why he locked it.
"What's up Beth?" He smiled when he opened the door.
"Uhmm, do you think you can wrap my wrist for me?" I say wrist because I'm too embarrassed to say arm, even thought it truthfully is my full forearm that covered in cuts.
"Of course, come in" he said with a warm smile.
I walked in and it smelt like his cologne, which was amazing. I could tell which side of the room was his because his bed was made and had his guitar and a bunch of crumpled papers on it. And matt had a unmade bed and clothes all over the room. I handed him the wrap that I always keep with me and sat on his bed. I held out my arm and he held it gently. He took out a first aid kit from under his bed and started cleaning up my arm. I would occasionally wince from the pain and he would look at me sympathetically and say sorry. I nodded and looked around.
"I are you working on a new song?" I asked referring to the guitar and papers around me.
"Uh ya. It's actually about you." He looked up from my arm he was studying and smiled.
"Me?" I asked shocked. Why would he write a song about me? I'm nothing special, and all of his songs are amazing and I'm just... nothing.
"Ya do you want to hear it?" He asked while finishing up wrapping my arm.
"Ya! I would love to"

He took his guitar and sat beside me. He moved some papers and grabbed his pick. He started to lightly strum and concentrated on his guitar.

She would not show that she was afraid,
But being and feeling alone was too much to face,
Though everyone said that she was so strong,
What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on,

But she knew that she would be okay,
So she didn't let it get in her way,

Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much,

She would always tell herself she could do this
She would use no help it would be just fine
But when it got hard she would lose her focus
So take my hand and we'll be alright

And she knew that she would be okay,
So she didn't let it get in her way,

Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much, yeah.

A little too much, I said a little too much, oh.

Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much yeah!

Sometimes it all gets a little too much,
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same,
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much.

He ended by strumming lightly and looking up at me.
"That's all I have so far but what do you think?"
"I love it shawn," I said and hugged him over his guitar. I didn't realize it but my eyes were releasing tears. That was such a beautiful song. Maybe one day he will record it and it will become famous. He released from the hug but I pulled him back. He chuckled and put his guitar down and held me tighter.
"I love you beth, and I don't know what I would do if something happened to you"
"I love you too Shawn. Thanks for everything" and that when I glanced at the clock and realized it was 4. I wasn't dressed my hair was soaking wet, and I had no makeup done and I'm suppose to meet Hayes in 30 minutes.
