Song of the chapter:

She will be loved - Maroon 5

Shawn's P.O.V

"What are you talking about Mendes?" She raises an eyebrow even though I can see the fear in her eyes. I take a step closer to her.

"You know something other people don't." I continue to step closer to her as she backs into a tree, realizing she can no longer run from me.

"Yeah? And w-what's that?" She asks while scanning me to reveal a hint as to what may happen next.

"That I didn't do anything wrong." I tell her with a smug expression still plastered upon my lips. She chuckles and goes to say something but I immediately stop her.

"I can see it in your eyes. You believe me. You believe me and you can't just let the truth stay hidden." I let my eyes scan hers as she finds herself speechless.

"So you're going to tell me what Ashley said to her." I state and she shakes her head while staring at the ground.

"It was about the tour, wasn't it?" I ask and see a frown appear on her face before she shakes her head again. Confusion takes over me as I knit my eyebrows together.

"Does it have anything to do with Ashley?" I question and watch her scrunch her face as if she was on the verge of sobs herself. She nods and I begin to feel myself worry.

"Natalie.. What does Becca think I did?" I ask while grabbing her arms to get her to make eye contact with me. A frown plasters upon a lips.

"She thinks you slept with her Shawn." I hear her mumble and my mouth falls open. I almost ask her to repeat herself out of utter shock but those words, I was certain I would never hear and now that I have I can never let them go. I shake my head as disgust takes over my face as I storm off and away from Natalie.

I ignore her calls, I ignore it all.
I'm almost not sure as to where I'm going until my legs lead me to her empty driveway. Before I know it, I'm already halfway through her front door.

This is breaking and entering Shawn. Get out. Get out now.

But you don't care.

Almost everything about her home since the last night I saw it is exactly the same minus the different colors of walls. I'm already halfway up the stairs when I realize that there is no going back. I'm doing this.

Once I reach her door I place my hand on the knob and exhale before turning the knob, and opening the door.

Becca's P.O.V.

I tangle my fingers through his locks of hair as I feel his tongue explore every inch of my mouth. I hear the door creak open and my first instinct to jump off his waist and cover up my nearly bare chest. As I do so my head bolts to the door to see one of the last people I expected to see in my doorway.

Shawn fucking Mendes.

My face turns red with embarrassment. I watch as his eyes widen and his throats clenches.

"I uhm I'm just going to go.." Shawn trails off and heads for the door.

Good. I think but my body is disagreeing with that statement. I jump up and fling my shirt over my head and chase him down the driveway.

"Shawn!" I shout without even realizing what I'm doing, causing him to turn around.

"Yeah?" He asks nervously.

Let it go Becca, Let it all go.

"It's uhm... it's good to see you Shawn." I half smile and watch him nod before starting to walk away again.

"And!" I shout to get his attention. He turns to face me with utter sadness in his eyes.

"And, I-I forgive you." I state and watch his eyes light up. We share the moment until I feel Matt's arm clutch around my waist. I don't look away from Shawn's eyes. I watch as they dart to Matt's hands on my waist then back to mine.

"Hey Shawny, sorry about ya know- all that" Matt chuckles uncomfortably.

"Yeah, don't worry about it pal" Shawn says while continuing to look into my eyes. Matt must notice it because his grip on my waist tightens.

"Well, I mean it's too bad . You better get going.... bye Shawn." Matt says and practically pulling me up the driveway and in the house.

I watch through the window as Shawn walks back in the direction of his house, meeting his eyes with mine one last time.

"What did he want?" Matt asks while watching him walk away also.

I stare out the window and past the houses to the beach he had once taken me to.

"Forgiveness." I answer.
