Straight Outta Cali

Chapter 5

Eric's POV:

    I received a text from Antonio, saying that Camila almost got raped at a party. I heard a car pull up in the driveway. I saw Shawn get out of the car and helped Camila out. I ran to the door and opened it, just before Shawn got the time to knock.

    "Camila, what happened?" I asked worriedly.

    "At the party she was talking to this girl, and then she had to go to the bathroom. When she got out a guy, named Jason, dragged her upstairs into one of the rooms upstairs. I saw her getting dragged upstairs, by force, so I got Antonio, and we went to look for Camila. When we found her she was on a bed, half naked, crying, with Jason on top of her. The police took him away. And then I brought her here," Shawn said.

    "Well, thank you for taking care of her Shawn. I have somewhere to be, but I think it's better if I stay here," I said.

    "Well if you want I can stay here and take care of her. I really don't mind," Shawn said.

    "Are you sure you don't mind?" I asked him.

    "I'm sure. I'll take care of her, you go to where you have to go," he said.

    "Thank you, Camila I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight Mila," I said. I gave her a kiss on her forehead, and gave Shawn a look. He looked back at me and then carried on helping Camila.

Shawn's POV:

    I brought Camila upstairs. She put on her pyjamas, and laid down in bed and stared at the ceiling.

    I told her that I was gonna sleep on her couch in her lounge in the next room. I was trying to fall asleep, but I was too worried about Camila.

   
Camila's POV:

    I can't sleep, I'm terrified. I was lucky that Shawn was there, or else it would have happened completely...

    "Shawn," I called his name, and he entered my room. "Could you... Could you stay with me?" I asked shyly.

    "Of course," he said.

    He got under the covers and faced me. He looked into my eyes, and wrapped his arms around me protectively. He kissed my forehead.

    "Goodnight Treasure," he said.

    Treasure? He never called me that before, but I liked it.

    "Goodnight," I replied.

    I felt way less terrified in his arms. There's something about him that makes me feel so secure and happy and... I don't know, I just love being around him.

    I woke up the next morning by someone snoring lightly. I look to my left and see Shawn peacefully asleep next to me, with his arm still wrapped around my waist. He looked so handsome. His perfect face, sharp jawline, beautiful green eyes, amazing dark hair. He was perfect.

    "Do you like what you see?" he asked. I guess he woke up and caught me staring at him.

    I buried my face into his chest so he couldn't see my embarrassment.

    "Hey, look at me," he said. "Are you ok? Did you sleep well? Is the event of last night still popping up in your mind?" he said.
    "I've been better. It keeps on coming up, but I'm trying to ignore it. I just wanted to thank you for everything. If it weren't for you I'd most likely be pregnant. And thank you for staying the night," I said.
