Life Of The Party~ a Shawn Mendes fanfic

Chapter 8

"Come on. Come on pick up." I mumble into the phone as it yet again goes to voicemail.

I pick up my speed so I'm now running towards the boys dormitory. I burst through the doors making my way to the room. As I get closer the yelling becomes louder. My heart starts to speed up it feels like it's pounding out of my chest.

Please don't be them

Please don't be them I say in my head

After what feels like eternity I make it to the room I stop in front of the open door and my heart drops.

"Stop!" I yell

I run up to them and try to pull him off Dylan.

"Stop!" I yelled again but it was no use.

I was able to pry him off Dylan.

Shawn looked at me his face beaten up

"Shelby I'm s-"

"Go" I point towards the door.

"Shel-"

"I said." I take a breath to hold back the tears." Go."

Hurt fills his eyes. But he obeys and finds his balance to get up. He looks at me one more time before leaving

I let out a sigh and look down at Dylan who's oozing blood but manages a smirk on his face.

"Wipe that smirk off your face." I say agitated.

He stands up and spits out blood on the floor.

"You know you shouldn't have told anyone." He says stepping closer

"Why what can you do what is worst than what you have already done!"

"I know people and I can end your education and career here, I can make your life a living hell with a snap of my fingers." At this point were face to face.

"Y-you can't do that." He smirks as I stutter on my words.

"Oh yes I can."he gets even closer. " if you don't want your future ruined I suggest you do what I say."

I slowly walk outside with my head down.

"Shelby."

I look up to see shawn and his beaten up face walking towards me.

"Shelby look I'm sorry I went completely against what you said I was wrong but I couldn't let him hurt you I just wanted to protect-" I cut him off with a hug

At first he was taken aback but soon his arms wrapped around me.  I don't know how long we stood like this I lost track of time. I just felt safe in his arms.

Finally he pulled back.  He grabbed my hand.

"Let's go." He said quietly.

He turned on his heel and began to walk but I didn't budge. He turned around to look at me.

"You coming?" He said with a small laugh.

I shook my head and looked down not wanting to see his expression, but I could only imagine how hurt he was.

"Um then I guess I'll see you at home?" I looked up at him to see hope in his eyes my heart broke.

I shook my head again.

His hand slipped out of mine

"What do you mean?" His voice cracked

I opened my mouth to speak but was inturrupted.

"She means she's staying here," an arm wrapped around me and I looked up to see Dylan. "With me." His grip tightened I squeezed my eyes shut.

"Shelby w-why?" Shawns face grew with confusion concern and hurt.

I didn't answer. I couldn't answer.

"Shelby is he forcing you to do this because If he is-"

"I'm not forcing her to do anything this is her choice. Right shelby?" He gave me a small squeeze.

Shawn stood there waiting for my answer. Dylan's grip was getting tighter.

"Yes." I squeaked. I took in a deep breath."this was my decision."

Shawn shook his head in disbelief. He looked at me with pleading eyes to tell him the truth. But I couldn't.

His eyes filled with tears.

"Shelby what's going on? Don't do this. You know this isn't good for you."He said his voice faint

"You-you don't know what's going on you don't know what's good for me." I regretted saying that but if I didn't god knows what'll happen

Some tears slipped from his eyes.

"Your right I don't know what's good for you." He paused. "But I do know you deserve better." He turned and walked away.

My heart shattered

"Nice job" he whispered in my ear.
I pushed away in disgust.

"Hey!" He grabbed my wrist and hissed."where do you think your going? I want to take you out. There's a party In a bit."

I gulp.

"O-ok I just need to go to my room and get ready."

He looks Down at his phone.

"You have 20 min I'll be at your room then." I nodded. "Hey." He cupped his hand around my cheek. "Don't forget to cover this up." He ran a thumb lightly over the gash.

I nodded my head and quickly speed walk towards the girls dormitory.

***
I open the door to darkness. I flip the switch and lights illuminate the room. I walk towards my closet. I run my fingers against the different fabrics. Stopping on the dress I have chosen. I pull out the small red dress and put it on.

I move to the bathroom where i look at the gash on my cheekbone. I grab peroxide wipes and dab it on the wound. I wince in pain. I cover it up with some makeup.

"Shelby you here?" A voice echoed through the room.

"In here Riley." I answer back

I here footsteps and soon see Riley in the door frame.

"Hey." I say as I put on a few coats of mascara

"Hey....." She replies. An awkward silence fills the air

"a bunch of girls were freaking out because they saw shawn mendes." She says with a small laugh

I froze then cleared my throat.

"That's cool where at." I say scanning over the lipsticks

"Oh you know here. On campus grounds"

"Really?" I say pretending to be surprised.

"Yeah and the funny thing is I saw you talking to him."

My throat hitched.

"Oh yeah I um wanted an autograph." I lie. I skip the lipstick and walk out the bathroom.

"So he decided to cry because of that?She asked following me.

I picked up a pair of black heals not bothering to answer her question.

"And not to mention the fact you were with dylan. And I can't forget that Shawn Mendes' face was beaten up along with Dylan's." Her voice got louder "I know what happened." She says a little calmer."I talked to Shawn. Why. Why are you going back to dylan?"

"I uh....." A knock hit the door"listen Ry I have to go I'll uh see you later."

I walk over to the door opening it up. I look up at the person in the doorframe expecting to see dylan, but it wasn't him. I'm nothing but shocked at this moment.
