Treat You Better // s.m

Chapter 5

*Lainey's POV*
I woke up the next morning with a killer headache. If you can't tell, I don't drink a lot. I dragged myself out of bed smelling food. I walked into the kitchen and saw a shirtless Shawn cooking breakfast.

"Good morning Sleeping Beauty."

"Good morning Mr. Mendes."

"Are you feeling any better?" He asked with concern.

"Not really. I have a killer headache and I'm starving." He slid a plate of pancakes, bacon, and eggs with some orange juice and Tylenol.

"Dig in." He smiled. We ate in complete silence. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was a comfortable silence.

"Thank you for bringing me home and making me feel better Shawn. It means a lot to me." I gave him a slight smile.

"I've always been here for you. I'm not leaving your side. You know that." I got up and gave him a hug.

"And if you wanna talk about it, I'm willing to listen. I'm willing to help you in anyway that I can." He kissed my forehead.

"Thanks Shawn." I pulled away and washed the dishes.

"Do you wanna tell me what happened?" He asked.

"I have to tell you sooner or later. So yeah I guess." I sighed. We walked back to my room and sat down on my bed.

"Last night, Jason took me to a party at his friend's house. I had a couple of drinks with him then I went with Maria to go dance. About an hour later, I decided to try to go find him. I-I found him having s-sex with another girl in one of the rooms upstairs." He froze. He was filled with anger and sadness.

"Lainey. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that you had to see that." He pulled me in for a hug.

"It's not your fault. You were there for me when I needed you. That's all that matters."

"I still feel horrible about it though. You don't deserve that. You deserve way better than that. You don't deserve to put up with that shit." He pulled away from the hug.

"You deserve someone that's willing to take care of you. You deserve someone that's willing to love you. You deserve someone that's not going to hurt you."
I smiled.

"Thanks Shawn. I knew that I can count on you." I smiled. He slowly leaned in and I did too. We were about to kiss but the doorbell rang. Shawn got up and opened the door.

"Shawn, who's at the door?" I asked.

"Shawn?" I walked up to him and he looked at me. I turned to face the person that I never wanted to see again.

"Jason?"
