***a few months later***

--2am--

My parents were out of town for the weekend and I woke up in the middle of the night. My stomach rumbled so I went downstairs into the kitchen. 

I noticed one of the lights was on and I saw Shawn drinking a glass of water while leaning on the counter. It was 2am and Shawn was in my kitchen. What. 

"You know its 2am right, and why are you here?" I said and he looked up.

"I know" he sounded sad or angry I wasn't sure. 

"You should know why i'm here." he was angry. 

"Why?" I stood next to him, but he was avoiding eye contact with me.

He turned to the side looking me dead in the eyes and asked, "Are you cheating on me?"

His brown eyes were filled with sadness but his body showed anger. His fists were clenched but his face was hurt. 

"No, why would you think that?" I said staring into his eyes, I didn't cheat, but I was scared, his body towered over mine and he was much stronger than me. 

"I don't believe you!" he yelled at me, this was not good.

"Why would I cheat on you?" I backed up against a wall as he kept getting closer to me. 

"Shut up!" he screamed at me. I felt a lump in my throat and my stomach tightened. I could feel his breath on my face he was that close to me. 

I have never seen Shawn this angry. I stayed silent not knowing what he would do next. 

I closed my eyes only to feel his cold hand smack my warm cheek, leaving a burning sensation the second it left my skin. He hit me. 

Tears ran down my face as my back slid down the wall, I pulled my knees to my chest. I put my head between my knees, I didn't want to see his face and I didn't want him to see mine. 

He was still standing there, I could feel his body presence. I heard his footsteps get farther away until I heard the front door close. 

What the hell just happened?

*Shawn's POV*

I sat down and leaned against her front door. What have I done? (A/N: look at the .gif now)

This was unfixable. I should have never hit her. Never. 

I had to fix this, somehow. I loved her. I have never told her that, why?

I couldn't just leave her in there, alone. I got up and opened the front door again. I walked over to the kitchen to see her there.

She was sitting with her back against the wall, her knees pulled up to her chest, and her head down. The same as when I left. I could hear her sniffle. 

"Get out" she said, without looking up.

I couldn't just leave so I sat down next to her.

*Lauren's POV*

"I said get the fuck out shawn" I snapped. I was still scared. Scared that he was going to hurt me. I underestimated him. I thought he would never hurt me, but here I am. 

I wanted to forgive him, but I couldn't. He hurt me and I can't go back to his arms. 

He was still sitting there next to me, he reached over to rub my back. The instant he touched me I shivered, afraid. 

"Shh baby its ok" he said trying to comfort me, but I couldn't let that happen yet.

"Get your fucking hands off me" I moved away from him. 

I got up and walked up the stairs, not looking back, and slammed the door to my room shut. I got under the covers and attempted to fall asleep, but I laid awake in the darkness.
