Love has never felt like this

Chapter 24!

***Cammie'sPOV***

I was crying in bed. My heart hurt. My head was pounding. And my palms were sweaty. I didn't understand what was going on. When Shannon told me her ex was at the party.. I automatically assumed the worst. I thought.. I thought she cheated on me. Shannon wouldn't do that.. would she? No! No of course she wouldn't. She loves me. I'm just insecure. But then.. why isn't she picking up the phone? I've rang her at least a hundred times! She usually keeps on calling until I pick up! Maybe she's spending time with her family? Or maybe.. NOPE. No Shannon isn't doing anything wrong.

I was watching stranger things on Netflix when my mom came and knocked on the door. She first asked if I was okay, to which I responded with "look at me", and then she told me that somebody was out on the patio waiting for me. I looked in the mirror and I looked awful. My eyes were puffy. My cheeks were red and swollen. I looked like I'd been beaten up.

"Mom! I can't outside looking like this! I look awful."

"Trust me, Camden. This person isn't going to care what you look like right now."

"Well I mean.. who is it?"

"You'll find out" she winked at me and told me to come out of my room.

I walked over to the patio door and opened it slowly.. to which I was met by the sight of Shannon.. who looked just as bad as me. I stepped out further into the patio, and as I switched on the heat lamp between the two chairs. I began to notice how bad Shannon really looked.

Her eyes were puffy and red too, and as I looked her up and down, my eyes latched onto the sight of her knuckles. They were all bloody, and there was a fair sized gash in each of them. I rushed and sat down in front of her.

"Shannon! What the hell happened to your knuckles?"

"Well.. after my ex kissed me, I hit her hard enough to split my palm"

She turned over her hand and revealed the cut across her palm.

"And then after I told you and you wouldn't pick up or let me explain, I got a little angry and bothered and well.. I punched the wall."

She looked down and sniffled. I could tell she was very upset, either by what happened between us or the pain she was experiencing. Probably both.

"Well.. look I've called you at least a hundred times! Why didn't you pick up!"

She slowly reached her hand into her back pocket, pulling out her phone and resting it on the table between us. As she turned it over I saw how cracked and smashed it was. I gasped at the sight.

"Shannon what the hell!"

"I threw it. I got so angry that I couldn't control myself. And I threw it. I'm sorry."

"Listen.. we uh.. we need to get those cuts sorted out. Come with me"

I quickly wiped away my tears and gently picked up Shannon's bag, before linking my fingers with hers gently, leading her to my bedroom, where I placed her stuff and then taking her to the bathroom where I made her sit on the edge of the bathtub.

I got out the first-aid kit and began to cleanse the gash on her palm. I could tell it was hurting by the way she was flinching constantly, and biting her lip.
I could see the tears forming in her eyes. 

"Shannon.. I'm sorry that it hurts please don't cry.."

"I'm not crying because of that.. okay maybe a little.. but I'm crying because I don't want to think about losing you. I swear to you, Cammie. I never kissed her back. I never did anything except hit her and tell that I already have the most amazing, beautiful, funny, awesome, kind, lovely, wonderful fiancée in the world and that I would do anything for.

By this time I was already finished with her knuckles and her palm and was just bandaging up her hand completely.

Once I was done I saw her kneel on the floor in front of me and then she took me hands.

"I promise on all of our future children's lives, both of our lives, all of our future pets lives. Our families lives. Everything that is important to us that I would never do that to you Camden Mary-Allyse Scott. I love you so much"

I could feel the tears running down my cheeks, but before they had a chance to get any further I felt Shannon's gentle finger tips wipe them away.

"Don't cry, Cams" she said soothingly.

I wrapped her up in my arms afraid to let go and I felt her lift me up, allowing me to wrap my legs around her waist. I kept on kissing her neck and her cheek. She was my girl. I had to let her know that. I couldn't ever lose her.

She put me down and I took her hand, leading her into my bedroom, laying her down on the bed, I then cuddled into her, as tight and as close as I could've possibly been.

"I love you so much, Shannon. I'm sorry I doubted you. I have no idea what was going on in my head. I'm so terrified to lose you.. please don't leave me ever.."

"Cams I'm not going anywhere. You're my soul mate, my best friend, my lover, my fiancée and the most important person in my life"

"I want us to get married soon, Shannon. Screw waiting. I mean, what are we even waiting for? I can't wait to be Mrs Camden Beveridge. I can't wait to have kids with you, pets with you. I can't wait to live my life with you. Say you won't let go because I want to stay with you until we're grey and old Shan.."

"Of course I'm NEVER going to let go, princess. I love you way too much. I'm sorry for everything baby. Let's do it. Let's get married as soon as we possibly can. You're my everything Camden Beveridge."

"I love you more than you'll ever know Shan"

I fell asleep in her arms that night. We didn't do anything other than cuddle. It was in that moment that I realised together Shannon and I were at our peak. We were a masterpiece. Apart we were a mess, but together; a masterpiece. No amount of black, white and grey.. could darken us, because together.. we could create the brightest of colours. Just through our laughter, and our smiles. Together. We were artwork nobody could humanly create.
