Chapter 16 Shawn's POV:
"We're both angry. I think we both try not to show it, but sometimes I don't think we can." I listened to as Bella explained to me so much. She told me about her mom and also about the fight that happened 10 minutes before I got there. I can't believe there are some parents out there that are cruel. My parents gave me such a perfect life, and I can't believe she didn't get that.
"You know sometimes not being strong doesn't mean you're weak." I explained as She sighed to herself.
"I just hate to see Noah like that. He just needs someone there for him."
"And does he have that?" I questioned.
"I mean I think. It might be me or his girlfriend." I try to believe that some things happen for a reason, but sometimes I just with there is an explanation.
"I want to show you something." We both were sitting under a tree while the clouds filled up the sky. I reached for my guitar wanting to show her something that means a lot to me.
"I think there is always a way to escape your feelings. I know that may sound bad, but trust me on that." I smiled as she did too. I began to strum to one of the songs I wrote that I think is one of my favorite to sing.
"Think I don't need a watch to tell the time
Think I don't need the sun to help me shine
Think I don't need a girl to be alright
Guess I didn't know

That I didn't need shoes on my feet
That I didn't need a bed to fall asleep
That I didn't need love to be complete
Guess I didn't know." I played every cord with everything I had and most importantly I slowly just listen to the music and the words every time.
"That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me, for me

You're all I think about when I'm awake
Part of every night and every day
And everything's a mess when you're away
Now I know." I smiled to myself hoping she understands where I'm coming from. Actually I was hoping this would make her feel better because not just her, but no one deserves to be unhappy. This world finds a way to crush itself slowly, but it's our job to resist that from happening.
"Excuse me." I stopped playing as I turned around and Lucas was standing right behind me. I saw Bella shrug.
"Alright listen Shawn I don't need your little kid sparks on my girlfriend." I laughed to myself as I gently placed my guitar down and stood up.
"You're absolutely right. I forgot that's not a way to win a girl-" I sighed.
"If you were really Prince Charming then you would know when to come when your girlfriend needs help." I explained.
"I don't need you to tell me how to do my job." He smirked.
"Dating is not a job, so now I can see how you look at your relationship. You can't just show up whenever you feel like it. That's not how it works." I was beginning to feel irritated knowing nothing I might say would knock anything in that small brain of his.
"Pshhh. Why should I believe you? Because your famous? Because you sing and that's how you wipe every girl off her feet-"
"I guess you have a fair point." I responded sarcastically.
"I do asshole, I always win even when people aren't expecting it." I nodded chuckling to myself.
"Alright Bella come with me. Don't hang around this dude. He has to meet up with his boyfriend because he's gayer than shit." He laughed as I cleared my throat.
"Gay? Lucas I'm straighter than the pole your mom dances on." He froze as his face turned red. I hope he has nothing to say. I loved seeing his ridiculous face as I said that. I nodded looking at Bella who was trying not to laugh.
"I hate to break it to you, but whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed." I winked as I walked right pass him thinking how bad of a douche he is. Look I may seem like a soft shell but when someone tries to be ass I however don't let them get away with it. Lets just say he'll eventually figure it out. But I hope to make the right decision.
