Disposable Teenagers

Chapter 30: Black Diamonds

Lewis POV:

"Shannon!" I screamed as loud as I could as spotted her wandering the streets of Brighton, "Shannon!" I repeated.

Running as fast as my legs could carry me, I caught up to her and she gave me the 'death glare'.

"What do you want?" She mumbled looking down to her feet.

"I want to apologise about how Lizzy acted. She has no right to be like that. Not to my Shannon." I explained holding my tears back. Tears of anger and hurt.

"No. She did not." She paused for a moment before raising her head to look at me, "why the fuck didn't you say anything?" She spoke solemnly.

"I-I don't know. Honestly I don't. I-" I couldn't keep back my tears back, "I just didn't know what to do."

"Okay then" she turned on her heels to leave but I grabbed her wrist to keep her from leaving again.

"Ow" jumping back in pain, Shannon winced.

I let go and whispered "I'm sorry". I couldn't stop looking at the forming red stain on her long sleeve. Pulling it up, she panicked and tried to make an excuse. I wouldn't believe any of them.

"I was just attacked by a stray cat. That's all." Lied Shannon.

"You do know that you're a terrible lier don't ya?" We both half-smiled at each other. "Oh Shannon. Why did you do this?" I asked, "you could have spoken to me".

"You weren't here" she answered, dismissing my first question.

"Well I'm here now. Come on let's get it sorted out. It's almost stopped bleeding so we can do it at home".

"Okay" she mumbled, trying to be strong. I hate seeing her like this.

It breaks my heart.

*****************************************

"There we go Shannon" I fastened the remaining bandage over her arm as she swallowed the last painkiller.

Dosed up, she soon fell asleep softly - she was curled up under the covers so peacefully. It was a beautiful sight. She is beautiful and she is all mine. I'm not letting that son-of-a-bitch Lizzy getting in-between us.

Shannon means more to me than anyone ever will.

I hope she feels better tomorrow. I can't lose her; she is my girl, my world, my life. Shannon has changed me for the better and i owe her my life.

I love Shannon so much.

She can't leave me. If it wasn't for this perfect girl, who came practically skipping into my life, I wouldn't be here.

Isn't it strange what can happen in the small space of a few months?
