Running Low {S.M}

VI - Treat You Better

Shawn.

"Shawn?" He said and I could feel my body build up in anger.

"So you're cheating on Elena?" I scoffed and his eyes widened.

"I'm sorry with who?" Maria asked and I turned around to storm out of the club.

"Shawn where are you going?" I heard Andrew ask as he followed behind me.

"Somewhere far away from here," I said as I ran off into the dark streets.

I ran in the dark, unaware of where I was going, but in reality, I knew where I was going.  I was just hoping she would still be there.

~~~

I ran into the building and luckily it was still unlocked which meant she was still here.  I could hear slow music playing from one of the back studio rooms.

'Dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favorite song.'

As I walked in I could see a sad expression on her face as she danced to an Ed Sheeran song. 

Perfect.

All I could really say about her was that she was perfect.  I continued to watch her until she was done with her dance.  She finished off the dance in the splits and somehow that sent something different through my mind.

She got up and started spinning around.  I honestly couldn't wait any longer, so I stormed into the room.

"Shawn-" she whispered and I cut her sentence off by smashing my lips against hers.

I already knew what was going to happen.  Her small hands forcefully pushed me off of her.

"What the hell!" She shouted, and I know I should regret kissing her, but I don't.

"I couldn't take it any longer Lena," I mumbled as she took a few steps back from me.

"I have a boyfriend Shawn!" She cried out while pulling on her hair in frustration.

"That bastard who's been lying to you for who knows how long!" I yelled and her expression dropped.

"What are you talking about?" She mumbled while looking at me with watery eyes.

"Oh come on! You can't see that your 'perfect' British boyfriend has been cheating on you!" I shouted and the next thing I knew, she fell to her knees.

I could hear her crying into her knees mumbling something that I wasn't able to catch.

"Lena," I mumbled and walked up to her.

"Her name is Maria isn't it?" I heard her question lowly out from her cries.

"Yes," that was all I could say.

She continued to cry uncontrollably and I sat next to her, only for her to fall into my arms.  I held her, and somehow her being in my arms felt right.

"I just don't get it.  He's supposed to be my best friend.  What did I do," she cried and I just rubbed her back trying to calm her down.

"Lena, it's okay, he's a jerk, and you didn't do anything," I assured her while pulling her closer to me.

"H-how d-do you k-know t-that?" She stuttered while burying her face in my chest.

"Because I just know Elena.  You're too perfect to do anything," I said and she lifted her head up to look me in the eyes.

"Any guy is lucky to have you," I mumbled and her teary eyes were just staring into mine.

"Thank you Shawn," she said.

"Anytime.  I'll always-" she cut me off by pressing her lips to mine.

Our lips moved together in a perfect motion.  This feeling inside me knew this was right. She pulled away from our kiss and looked confused. She pinched her bottom lip and looked at me.

"I have to go," she said and got up from the floor and ran off with her stuff.

Was that a mistake? Should I not have kissed her? I mean I had no choice...I couldn't control myself. No matter how traumatized she may be because of Will, she's still the same deep down.

Even if it was wrong of me to kiss her, it still brought back all of the feelings I have for her. And although she denies having feelings for me, that kiss proved that we had feelings for one another.
