Ordinary// Shawn Mendes

Chapter 13

SAMANTHA'S P.O.V.

We are finally out of the hospital and Shawn and the rest of us have decided on all of us going to California together so we can spend time with Aaliyah and each other. We're waiting for our plane to be called now. Shawn put his hand on my thigh and mumbled something but I couldn't hear it. "Did you say something?" I asked. Shawn just looked at me and said "Just thinking out loud I guess". That's weird. We sat in silence for our plane. Everyone's been treating me differently, but you can't blame them, I just went back into an abusive relationship to get more abused.

"Flight 628 to California is now boarding" we all got up and got on the plane. I decided to sit next to my little brother Ryan. "You ok?, a lot has been going on these couple days." "Yeah I was just worried, I saw Aaliyah get hit by the car-" as soon as I heard that I gave Ryan a huge hug. That is so traumatizing especially for a kid his age. I feel so bad, if I wouldn't of drank my problems away like I always do he wouldn't of been as worried. "I'm so sorry Ryan, I love you ok? And I'm sorry I've been drinking my problems away that was 100% my fault and-" Ryan then interrupted me, "no don't even try to say that because Shawn did the exact same thing but made an even worse mistake, you can't help your mistake because someone else did that to you, but don't worry everyone is ok with Shawn again, he beat the living shit out of Jackson while you were in surgery." I just smiled. Ryan always knows exactly what to say. "Thank you Ryan." "It's what family's for, now let's get some sleep because we have a long flight".

I woke up and looked to see that we still have 4 hours left in the flight, Ryan is still asleep and I'm sure as hell not about to wake him up, he probably hasn't slept in 3 days.

Shawn's been sitting in front of me with Matt, so I got up to "use the bathroom" // I put quotations around that phrase for a reason she really didn't have to just thought I would make that clear// Shawn was asleep but Matt wasn't, when Matt saw me he called me over. "Sam" he whispered screamed. I leaned over so we could talk without waking Shawn up. "What's up?" I asked Matt. "I don't know what is wrong with this kid but we need to find out soon." Matt said. "What do you mean what's wrong with him?" I asked. "He hasn't been himself when you think that he would, he just got his world back, I think he could be hiding something but I'm not really sure. Just try to find out and I'll try to ok?" Matt told me. That's when I saw Shawn stating to wake up. "Okay I'm gonna go because he's waking up" I told Matt then walked to the bathroom. I wonder what could be wrong with him.

SHAWNS P.O.V.

I woke up on the plane and looked back to check if Sam is ok. She wasn't there. "Matt where's Sam?" I asked him. "Who?" Matt asked being a clueless dumbass. "Samantha Michelle Walkins, my girlfriend, where is she?" "OHHH Samantha she went to the bathroom she'll be right back." I relaxed more.

I can't help but think of that girl I cheated on Sam with. I know I was drunk but 1. I feel so bad for her, and 2. She gave good advice, I mean before we hooked up we talked a lot, especially about Sam, but as we were talking we both got drunk and yeah. "Has something been bothering you?" Matt asked, I love Matt and all but I don't want anyone knowing I'm thinking like this, because I'm not about to screw things up with Sam again. "No just a lot has been going on that's all." I replied to Matt. "Ok good, well here comes Sam if you want me to switch seats with her so you can sit with her for the rest of the ride." "If you could that would be nice." I told Matt as he got up and sat next to Ryan, who is still sleeping.

"Sleep good?" I asked Sam as she was sitting down. "For being in a plane yes" she said chuckling. I love it when she laughs or even chuckles. Her eyes crinkle up and so does her nose. "I love you, you know that right?" Sam told me. "Of course I do, how could-" I cut myself off, I don't want her thinking about that girl, Elizabeth anymore, especially me. "What were you saying?" Sam asked. "N-nothing" I stuttered, great now she knows something is up. Sam just sighed and looked the other way. I grabbed onto her hand. "What's wrong Shawn? and I want the truth or I'm gonna leave." Sam threatened me. "W-well it's just the whole Aaliyah and you thing, it's just got me thinking how fast you can lose someone you l-love." I made up, I thought it sounded pretty good for being off the top of my head. "Ok well don't worry about that." Sam said. Shit. She knows I'm lying. I love her I really do its just Elizabeth I can't get her out of my mind. "Sam just work with me babe please? We can hang out all this week and the rest of the summer." Fuck I just realized school starts soon, we're gonna be seniors. "Okay." Sam said. "Matt wanna switch seats again?" Sam asked Matt. She's really pissed off and it's my fault. "Sure" Matt says. Before they switch I grab onto Sams hand "I love you Samantha, don't forget that." I told her speaking truthfully. "You to." She replied.

Matt sat down. "W-" I interrupted Matt right then. "Don't ask me I don't want to talk about it" "Bro just tell me you could lose the love of your life over this little thing, if you haven't noticed right now your relationship of hanging on by a thread." Matt told me, he's right, but it'll work out better if Sam doesn't know. "You better not tell Sam" we're now whispering knowing Sam is right behind us. Matt just nods assuring me he won't. "The girl I cheated on Sam with, Elizabeth, I can't get her off my mind, it wasn't just a hook up. We talked over some drinks and while we were talking we both ended up drunk and yeah that happened." I told Matt as he tensed up. He's pissed but I would be to. "You better find a way to get her off your mind and fast before Sam finds out." Matt tells me. "What does it look like I'm trying to do." I sigh. What have I done. I'm just gonna talk to my mom when I get home. She's probably gonna bust my ass but I deserve it plus more.

The plane ride finally ended. I got mine and Sams bags from the overhead thing. I grabbed onto Sams hand, she doesn't seem AS mad anymore. My phone started going crazy in my pocket, because I just got all my messages from 7 hours ago. I took s peek to see who texted me but I ignore it anyway. "Wanna go to the waterpark when we get home after we see Aaliyah?" I ask Sam. "Can't remember?" She said pointing to her lungs. Oh yeah. Fuck that made me sound like an awful boyfriend. "Fuck, I forgot I'm sorry, well we can just go home and watch movies" I told her. "Ok" Sam says. She squeezes my grip tighter for some reason then I look up. Jackson. I drop the bags and hug Sam as tight as I could so she can feel as safe as she is in my arms. Sam starts crying into my shirt. "Shhhhh it's ok it's ok." I say in her ear. I hear her mumble something but I can't figure out what it is. "Huh?" I ask. She looked up. "Why me, why did my ex-boyfriend do this to me, why does my soon to be ex-boyfriend have to hide stuff from me. Why does my brother have to be under all this stress because of me, why do I have to be a burden on all the people from MAGCON. Why, why me. I did nothing, but the one that bothers me OVER my ex-boyfriend being abusive is my boyfriend that I just forgave for cheating is hiding something from me. Shawn why? Why can't you just tell me and trust me?" She says crying. "Sam it's nothing I swear, you really wanna see?" I ask remembering my phone went crazy earlier and one of them was Elizabeth's texts. This is the way that won't cause us to break up. "Yes." she says sniffling. I show her Elizabeth's text saying "hey babe". "Elizabeth is the girl I you know, the whole cheating thing, yeah she's the girl, I just feel bad for her you know? She didn't deserve that but that's what's I'm gonna have to live with. Because I want you. I only love you." I tell Sam. "You promise?" She asked. "Cross my heart and hope to die, now let's get out of here before Jackson sees us, but I highly doubt he will say anything, last time-" Sam interrupted "I know, I know you beat the shit out of him. Can we go see Aaliyah now?" I nod yes and we catch up with the guys outside waiting for the car. Matt looked at me with the did you tell her face and I just nodded. We're finally that annoying cute couple again. I kiss Sam letting her know I'm not going anywhere. "I love you so much Samantha. You'll never know" I tell her. "Oh Shawn I love you so much more."
