Falling For You

Chapter 9.

Vanessa P.O.V

"You know you didn't have to give me a ride home right? I wanted to walk and it's not raining," I told Shawn as he shut off the car.

"I know, but might as well, and since we beat your mom home, there's more time to do this," he said while placing his hand on my cheek and pressing his lips against mine.

I pulled away after about twenty seconds and shook my head, "Shawn not right now please."

"W-why? I thought maybe we could," he said while ending mid-sentence.

"Could what Shawn? I mean none of this can actually happen," I said while running my hand through my hair.

"How can you be so sure?" I heard him say as he put his hand on my leg.

I pulled away and turned towards the window, "Because we just can't Shawn."

"Can you at least give me some sort of reason then?" He asked and I turned back to him.

Seeing him look me in the eye had me giving into him. The good part of me was starting to come out and wanted to do the right thing. I wanted that part to go to hell already. I want to be with Shawn I really do, but how?

Are we just going to continuously sneak around until I graduate. I mean sure, I graduate this year, but still. I don't think I could hold out for that long. At some point, someone is going to find out.

"It's just too hard! Someone will find out then one of us will end up hurt and losing the other and I don't want that!" I said almost yelling.

"Well then I'll do whatever I can to protect that and I won't let anything happen to you Ness," he said while placing his hand under my chin.

My eyes were starting to swell up with tears and I let one fall as I turned back to Shawn.

"I just don't know how this is all possible," I said while letting more tears fall.

"It is possible. Everything about this is possible. My feelings for you are possible," he said while pulling me closer to him so our foreheads were touching.

"I didn't know I could care about someone this much," I mumbled while putting one hand on his cheek.

"Same here," he said while placing a kiss on my forehead.

We sat there in silence, and it was a good silence. As much as I wanted to say something, I couldn't. I didn't want to ruin this. I wanted it to stay like this.

In this moment it felt like the unthinkable could happen. Like anything with him could be possible.

"You should go inside," Shawn said and I nodded.

"Okay," was all I could say and I pulled away to look him in the eyes.

His brown eyes had completely controlled my mind. I couldn't think straight when I would look at him. His perfect features would effect my every move. The feelings I have for him keep growing whenever I make any sort of contact with him.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break away. Finally, I moved away and unlocked the car door.

"I'll see you later Ness," he said and I smiled while getting out of the car.

"Until next time Mendes," I said and closed the door.

I rushed inside and ran up to my room. I threw my stuff down and tried processing everything that had happened in the past two school days.

First, I met him. Second, he called me beautiful. Third, he started changing me. And well four, I haven't quite figured that one out yet.

I went to my desk and plugged my phone in my speaker. I started blasting my music hoping it would clear my mind. Then I heard the song Too Young by Sabrina Carpenter, and one line of the song stuck out to me.

'If I'm too young to fall in love, why do you keep running through my brain?'

And that's when I realized it. And number four...I was in love with my teacher.
