CHARLOTTE
•••
"no?" Cameron asks leaning his head forward, like he didn't hear correctly. "no." i repeat more firmly and confident.
i love Cameron, with all my heart, and i forgive him for leaving, but we aren't right together. "why? we both are still in love with each other, right?" Cameron questions slouching in the bench.
a tear escapes my eye for a reason unknown to me. "i love you Cameron. i really do, but i'm not in love with you anymore." i pronounce. he wipes the tear off my cheek and sightly smiles. "i appreciate the honesty babe, but i'm not giving up on you. i will never give up until i see you walk down the aisle either with me waiting at the alter, or another guy. as long as you are happy, i am happy." he softly whispers and lightly kissing my forehead.
i look up at him and he's tired. his eyes are droopy and he needs sleep. "go home Cameron. i can tell how tired you are. you need rest." i say. he shakes his head, "i'm not tired."
"yes you are. i can see it in your eyes. can you just wait here and i will drive you home." i rub his arm and stand up. "where are you going?" Cameron asks rather quickly. "i am going to get Shawn. wait inside. its not as cold." i tell him.
he nods and stands up, walking inside. he stops a couple feet away from the door and turns around to face me.
"Shawn makes you happy, and i'm glad, but if he hurts you in any way, i'm going to fucking kill him." Cameron chuckles before actually walking in.
i smile a bit but i can't help but feel bad for Cameron. i can tell he's hurt, but we aren't right. i'm not right for him.
i walk inside to find Cameron in the waiting room. a smile appears on my face whilst walking past him. i find Shawn's dad's room and knock on it. the knob turns and Shawn is standing behind the door. "hey Charlotte, come in." he smiles sweetly opening the door wider. i walk in seeing Shawn's dad still bedridden but seems so happy.
"Charlotte. so glad you could join us. we were just talking about Shawn's hate for tomatoes." he greets me chuckling. "they are horrific dad. Ketchup is awful too." he smiles explaining.
i start to laugh, "aww. well, it must pain you to know i actually enjoy ketchup and i can't eat my fries without them."
"we can't be friends anymore. i'm sorry C, but i can't stand it." Shawn playfully announces. i fake a disappointed face, "oh, okay. i guess i will just go now." i turn towards the door behind me and place my hand on the knob.
"wait." i hear Shawn say grabbing my hand.
i back around to see he has the most serious face ever, "stay. i know you knew i was kidding, but i'm seriously telling you right now, you should stay." i take my hand off the knob and realize how much taller he is than me at this very moment.
"and i'm going to tell you seriously, i actually have to go. i need to drop off Cameron at his place." i tell him looking down at our hands still intertwined. he glances at our hands as well and squeezes mine tighter.
"will you be back?" he asks softly. "no. probably not. i'm exhausted and its like 1 in the morning. i should get going." i murmur without looking at him.
he places his hand under my chin and lifts my head up so we're making eye contact. "text me when you get home. i want to know your safe." he instructs. i chuckle slightly at the thought that i'm starting to fall for a guy i just met today. "why? why do you care if i'm safe? we just met today." i smile.
he lightly kisses me on my forehead, "because i'm falling hard, Charlotte. its scary, but its something i can't stop even if i wanted it too." i smile even wider knowing he's feeling the same way. "then i guess we're in this together. goodnight Shawn." i whisper as he releases the grasp of my hand.
"goodnight Mr. Mendes." i say looking behind Shawn to find he has been listening the whole time. he nods and smiles.
the last thing i hear as i walk out the door was Mr. Mendes ask Shawn, "you're fallin hard, huh?" and Shawn replies, "and faster as a speeding bullet."
