A/N I know this isn't Shawn's song but just go along with it.
"And I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does, So choose me instead. Oh, choose me instead."
The tips of my fingers skim across the piano before I stop recording on my phone. I carried on playing but being slightly disturbed by a small knock on my balcony window. I pushed the chair away and opened the window allowing y/n to jump right in.

Her skin was pale and her eyes were puffy and red. Her lip was quivering and she couldn't catch her breath.
"y/n? What's wrong?" She shook her head before running into my arms and fisting my t-shirt in her hands. I wrapped my arms around her tightly and allowed her to ball her eyes out into my chest. Her shoulders were rapidly shaking and she continuously hiccuped. I gently picked her up and carried her over to the bed and placed her down next to me. I stroked her hair constantly until she had calmed down.
Once she calmed down. She looked up at me and gave me a sheepish smile. I returned and reached down for her hand and intertwined our fingers.
"Do you want to tell me what happened?" I asked gently rubbing my thumb over her hand. She grasped her breath and let out a little sigh.
"For the last month we've been arguing like mad over stupid things and today it got way out of proportion-" she stopped and tried to stop herself from crying. "And he hit me and pushed me and grabbed me" she burst back into tears and i pulled down the shoulder of her shirt revealing purple bruises around her collarbones and her neck. My jaw clenched as I tried to prevent myself from crying and lashing out. Seeing her hurt broke my heart into millions of pieces because I loved her.
I loved her more than anyone could know and watching her choose him over me is the most awful feeling that I could ever describe but seeing her like this is a million times worse.
I cooed her as cried again the tears soaking through the pillow. She tried to get her breath back but her crying was too much.
"We broke up" she managed. A massive weight was lifted off of my shoulders. "But I still love him"
I sighed and lowered my forehead to rest against hers. We were so close and the only thing that was running through my mind was to kiss her but I couldn't. I couldn't bring my self to do it especially in the state she was in. Her breathing relaxed as our eyes were directly opposite each other.
"He's not good enough for you" I muttered. She shook her head.
"No" she said a little shakily. "I'm not good enough for him! This is why he's always hitting me and why we're always argue" she cried again and I shook my head.
Soon enough her breathing steadied out and her chest rose and fell repeatedly. I kissed her cheek before covering us with the duvet and quietly humming the lyrics to the song.
"He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do. He's not good enough for you, He's not good enough to be even half the man that he should be, And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me"
