Treat You Better (Shawn Mendes FanFic)

Chapter 29 Treat You Better

Chapter 29 Shawn's POV:
Alright two days. Two days here and I need to tell her without cowering out. She'll go with me. And when she does she can escape all her pain and come with me. She can finally be free and hopefully happy. I walked in the place as I didn't notice Noah at the counter like I usually do. I raise my eyebrow knowing something my a little off. I kept walking as I saw Bella sitting on the deck by the lake. My heart skips a beat as the wind makes her hair flow perfectly and her eyes sparkle. I walk towards her as she notices me walking and stands up. I notice her eye were a little red it almost looks like she has been crying. I began to walk a little slower knowing something was bothering her.
"Are you alright?" I asked tentatively.
"Yeah I'm good. A little tired that's all." She cracks a small smile. I go and sit down on the edge of the deck as she follows.
"I have been meaning to ask you something." I tell her trying to put my words together.
"The past month I didn't think I was gonna be this happy and-"
"Shawn it would be so rude for me to let you finish." She interrupts as she grabs my hands.
"What do you mean?" I questioned in confusion.
"Me letting you in was a mistake Shawn. I shouldn't have done that." She explains as my heart drops.
"What does that even mean?" I asked again beginning to feel completely confused where the conversation was heading.
"I'm saying goodbye." She sighs as my heart sinks.
"Goodbye? What! What did I do wrong?" I asked standing up.
"Nothing. You didn't do anything. I promise." She puts her hand on the side of my face as my sad eyes met hers.
"Wait no. I just can't, Bella. I want you to come with me on tour. Please." I begged hoping this conversation would take a turn. She shook her head as I couldn't believe any of this was happening.
"Shawn. I need to stay here. I have things to take care of and people that need me." She explains as tears began to form from her eyes.
"People to take care of?" I whispered as I heard footsteps behind me. I turned as Lucas was standing there. He lifts his hand up as he waves.
"Hi Shawn." He cracks a smile as rage fill my body. I quickly turn to Bella as I was in complete anger.
"I'm gonna give you guys a minute." He states as he turns as walks away.
"That's what this is about?" I asked her raising my voice. She stays quiet.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I bet he said some shitty things to you to make you believe he's changed huh?" I questioned.
"I think he has-"
"No! You just can't change someone Bella. That's not how any of this works. That's not life works! You think he really means what he says? He sees you finally happy with me and then all of a sudden wants you back?" I chucked to myself in frustration.
"Shawn. He needs me. He's broken, and I can't leave someone to shatter-"
"But you don't mind leaving me?" I interrupted as she puts her hand down.
"We're just pretending the whole time?" I asked as she lifts her head up.
"Pretending? Why would you ask me? It's usually the ones with the fame that pretend." She snaps as I grew more angry.
"No! IT WAS REAL TO ME! BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU WOULDN'T KNOW BECAUSE IT WASN'T TO YOU!" I yelled as she backs up.
"Bella please." I calm myself down knowing that fighting this out wouldn't get us anywhere.
"I have completely fallen for you. Everything you do, everything you say, everything you are. You're my first thought in the morning, you're my last thought before I fall to sleep, and you're almost every thought in between. I can see it on your face when you say that he's the one that you want; I can treat you better Bella, better than he can. You have to know that!" I explained as I watched a tear gently fall from her eye.
"And I'm sorry I snapped. I just, I'm not expecting any of this, and I mean it when I say I can treat you better because you deserve that. You really do, and please. I know I made you happy and I also know that he's just in your head." I took a deep breath waiting for her to say something.
"I'm so sorry Shawn, but I can't." She looks at me for one last time as she walks right past me. I stood there helpless. Not knowing what I should so. Nothing turned out the right way nothing turned out the way I expected. What has got in her head. My heart was breaking slowly as I found it hard to breath. I clenched my fist together thinking was all this a waste of time. I finally open myself up to someone I fell in love with and then is just thrown to the ground. I slowly walk back not looking back. I have nothing left here. I guess all of this was nothing. I was never pretending here it was so real that I never once thought of letting her go. How can this even be? I put my head down knowing I can't cry. It's not worth it. What did Lucas have that I didn't? I wouldn't lie to her because I knew he wasn't right for her from the start. She's now spending her time in that wrong situation and I could have helped her out, but instead I'm leaving here with a heavy heart and not with the person I love.
