My Protector

Three

Shannon's POV:

Momma came home a couple hours later and I heard her call my name.

"Shannon I'm home!" She calls out.

"I'm in my room." I yell back.

I hear her foot steps and she comes in seeing Jon asleep on the chair next to me.

"What happened?" She asks looking at my foot.

"I fell in gym and Jon helped me home. His parents will be gone a couple weeks and he has no where to stay." I mumble.

"Well he can stay here. Just tell him if he wakes to get some blankets from the closet." She says smiling and kisses my head and leaves.

Jon opens one of his eyes to see if she's gone.

"She's gone." I smile at him.

"Good. Where can I sleep?" He asks getting up looking around my room.

"Right here." I say patting my bed.

"She won't care?" He asks laying beside me gently.

"Nah. I'll just say we were talking and you fell asleep here." I smile.

"Okay." He smiles.

I gently snuggle closer to him and he wraps his arm around my waist in a protective way.

I smile and blush slight.

"Jon?" I say turning over and facing him.

"Yeah Shannon?" He asks.

"Thank you for all of this. Helping me, being my friend, staying with me." I smile.

"Shannon, I'd do anything for you." He smiles down at me.

"Thank you." I smile up at him and lay my head on his chest falling asleep in his arms.

Jon's POV:

I look down at her as she's fast asleep.

I sigh softly to myself.

"I'll do everything I can to protect you." I mumble looking down at her and falling asleep.

The next morning I wake up to the sound of her voice but I don't open my eyes.

"I'll get Jon to help me. I promise he won't mind. Okay I love you too. Bye momma." She said and put what I'm guessing is her phone down.

She gently wrapped her arms around my stomach again cuddling up to me again.

I groan and act like I just woke up.

"What time is it?" I ask rubbing my eyes.

"About 9. Don't worry momma already called the school and said we'd be out until Monday." She said smiling at me.

"That's the best thing I've heard all day." I say turning on my side facing her.

She smiles at me.

"If you don't mind later we've got to go to the doctors to get something to wrap up my foot." She said.

"Yeah I don't mind. What time?" I ask.

"Around 1." She says getting more comfortable.

"You wanna sleep another 2 hours? I'm still pretty tired." She asks looking up at me.

"You go ahead. I might go back to sleep later." I smile down at her.

"Okay." She said and closed her eyes drifting back to sleep.
