Falling For You || Shawn Mendes

Chapter 3 - Pack your things

Lily's P.O.V.

I quietly opened the door to our house and went inside. Closing the door behind me, I slowly tiptoed my way upstairs. But before I did, someone yanked my arm causing me to stop my tracks.

"Where have you been?!" Mom yelled tightening her grip onto my arm, digging her nails into my skin. I whinced in pain.

"I-I just went f-for a st-stroll." I stuttered.

"Liar!" She yelled slapping me.

"Stop!" I said trying to escape from her grip.

"I know you met with someone. I forbid you to leave this house! You understand?!" Mom yelled slapping me again.

"No! You can't forbid me to go out!" I protested.

"Don't you dare talk back at me!" Mom yelled pulling my hair. I've had enough of her! She's such a bitch. I pushed her away causing her to fall on the floor. I tried to run for the door but she held my foot dragging me on the floor.

"You little worthless idiot! You'll never get away from me. Never!" She said climbing on top of me. I saw her picking up an empty bottle of beer then smashed it on my head. I pushed her again then got up. My hand accidentally slipped on the shattered glass adding fresh cuts on my palm. I saw my blood dripping on the white tiles.

"Help!" I yelled as loud as I could.

"Shut the fuck up!" She yelled slapping me.

"Please! Help!!" I yelled again. I need to get away from here.

Shawn's P.O.V.

I parked on Lily's driveway then got out of the house. Then, I heard Lily's voice, screaming for help. I immediately sprinted to the front door and opened it. Her mom holding a broken bottle and Lily with a bloody hand.

"Lily!" I said helping her up.

"Shawn?" She weakly said.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Mom yelled.

"Mrs. Watson! Why are you hurting Lily?!" I said.

"Because she's an asshole! She's not supposed to leave the damn house!" She said tightening her grip on the broken bottle. "See, this is what happens to worthless daughters like you! You don't deserve to be happy! You're nothing but shit!"

She was about to hit Lily again but I held her arms pushing her away hitting her head on the floor, hard, causing her to faint. Lily sobbed putting her head on my chest.

"Shhh, it's okay. Pack your things. You're going with me. I'm taking you away from here, okay?" I said. She nodded then I followed her upstairs to her room and helped her pack. We quickly went downstairs and outside the house. We got in my car then I started driving away from her house.

Lily kept sobbing which made me feel sad. I don't want to see Lily like this. It breaks my heart just by hearing her cry.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, Shawn. It's just that, I-I was afraid that.. that you'll get scared of being in my situation... and leave like my friends and relatives did." She said in between sobs.

"Lily... I would never do that to you. I will never leave you. You should at least told me earlier." I said.

"Since dad left, mom treated me like I'm not even her daughter anymore. She started drinking, and abuses me."

"Wait, what? Your dad left? Where did he go?" I asked in confusion.

"He passed away 11 years ago, Shawn. Mom said he died in a car accident." She said wiping her tear-stained cheeks.

"It's alright, Lily. Stop crying, okay? I'll take you to my house. From now on, you'll be staying with me and the boys."

"Boys?" Lily asked.

"You'll meet them later. But for now, I want you to calm down and don't think about the things that happened earlier, okay?"

"Okay. Thank you, Shawn. If it wasn't for you, I don't know if I'd still be alive." She said. I held her hand and gave her a smile. She smiled back. I'll do anything for Lily. While driving, I secretly texted the boys that she was staying in the house so I told them to buy some stuff for her. Then I put my phone back to where it was before.

After what seemed like years of driving, we finally got home.

"We're here." I smiled. I parked the car in the driveway and stopped the engine.

Lily's P.O.V.

Wow. This is one majestic house!

"This house is amazing." I said staring at the house.

"Yeah.. And pardon us if we do weird things inside. We like to goof off at any time of any day." Shawn said then laughed. I laughed at him while he carried my bag. We entered the house with no sign of any boy.

"You said you live with other boys here?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do. But they went out. I told them to go buy some clothes and other stuff."

"For whom?" I asked.

"For you.'' He said then smiled.

"Me? Shawn, you didn't have to do that. You even bothered your friends." I said.

"But I want to. And they're totally okay with it, so.. Don't worry." He smiled.

"What did I ever do to have you?" I said. He smiled.

"Let's go to your room. It's upstairs." He said then I followed him upstairs.

He opened the door to my room and it was amazing! It all had a plain white color. From the floor, walls, windows, cabinets, doors, to bed sheets. Everything else was so clean and pretty.
Shawn set my bags on the floor beside the bed.

"From now on, this is your room. So you can do whatever you want to do in this room. It's yours now. I already told the boys you'll be staying here with us."

"And it's okay with them?"

"Of course." Shawn said. "Come here, let's clean up your hand."

He placed a mini first aid kit on the desk and I sat beside him. He cleaned my fresh cuts and wrapped my hand with a band-aid.

"There. I'll leave you here for a bit to clean yourself up, okay? The boys might come back soon. And by the way, here's your phone. You left it at the coffee shop earlier." Shawn said handing my phone.

"Alright. Thanks Shawn." I said then gave him a big hug.

"No problem." He said hugging back. Once he left, I roamed around my room. I then decided to take a shower. I went in my bathroom and washed myself up. I decided to wear a pair of black shorts and a gray sweatshirt with a black tank top under it. I let my long brown hair loose since I like it that way.

Soon enough, I heard voices downstairs. The boys might be home already. I checked myself in the mirror one last time and I think I look presentable enough. I headed downstairs to meet the boys.
