Ava's POV

So going to the store with Shawn is always... interesting. He's driving right now and I keep glancing over at him. He's actually pretty cute. I'm looking out the window at the trees covered in mounts of snow while humming to the songs that play on the radio. Then I hear the volume being turned down and I look over to see Shawn slowing down the car. "Mendes, did we seriously run out of gas?" Ugh this kid. "Hey Ave... Why don't you look at what's in front of the car?" I turn slowly and see that we're parked in front of the store. "Oh. Haha..." I move my feet to realize I squashed the tacos. "Uh. Shawn. Um I'm super sorry but I kinda smooshed the tacos and they're all over the bag and I didn't mean to and I'm super sorry ugh God I'm such an idiot how do I accomplish to ruin everything." I say pretty quickly. Great well now I'm embarrassed. Actually I shouldn't be because Shawnie's my best friend so I mean what the hell. Yolo right? Shawn laughs and says "Ave it's fine we can just get frozen pizza." And with that we both get out of the car.

We walk through the automatic doors and the gust of cold air comes and messes up my already messed up hair. "Shit." I mumble. But apparently it was loud enough for Shawn to hear because he replies "Ave your hair looks fine, don't worry about it." I think my cheeks turned tomato red, which isn't good because Shawn. HATES. Tomatoes. "Alright so you know the plan right Mendes?" He looks at me and nods. "Ok repeat the plan to me." I say like a drill sergeant just to make sure he remembers because the last time we did this was over 2 years ago so... "Ok first thing's first I go to the Redbox and pick out a movie that I know we'll both like while you head over to the candy aisle. You get a bunch of shit that we'll stuff our faces with later. Then we meet up in the popcorn aisle. We grab it and go. Now to the pizza. And I know your favorite kind so I'll let you pick it like always." I smile just glad that he remembers it after all this time. "You got it Kid."

We split up and head our different ways. I love the music the store is playing! I'm so excited to be back with Shawn. I think I might have a little crush on him. But I mean who wouldn't. Plus I've known him my whole life. As I'm approaching the candy aisle I see a sort of suspicious guy standing there. I brush it off because there are so many people in this world that he could just be a normal guy. Im probably just super paranoid. So I walk into the aisle with my wallet in my back pocket. I look at the chocolate section first. I'm not really craving any so I move over to the sour candy section.

Just as I'm about to grab a box of sour patch kids I feel a hand grab my ass. I whip around to see the guy I was talking about earlier. "What the hell are you doing?!" I semi yell at the guy. "You're coming with me sexy." He lightly pushes his jacket revealing his pistol hooked on his belt loop. I'm already guessing he doesn't have a permit. Right now I'm freaking out wondering where Shawn is. I'm scared for my life. "Alright let's get walking, don't struggle." He moves his hand from my ads and wraps it around my waist and I can feel his hand digging into my skin. I'm trying to hold in my tears but I can't. I start to silently cry and his nails start digging even farther into my skin. We finally exit the aisle and Shawn is at the Redbox. Please turn around Shawn! Shawn! Shawn turns around and were almost past the checkout aisles. He looks at me confused and then rushes over. The guy throws me into the wall and I stumble and fall down. I signal a gun with my hand to Shawn. Shawn comes over, rips the guys hand off of my waist and puts the guy's arm behind his back in between his shoulder blades. The guy yelps and falls down to the ground. I'm already on the floor leaning against the wall. By now almost everyone is watching Shawn throw a punch here and there at the guy. Shawn grabs the gun and slides it on the floor over to me. I'm barely able to see and I think I'm going unconscious. I see the manager come running over. I hear mumbling but then I black out.
