Part 5

Shawn:

I watched her as she closed her eyes drifting off into a peaceful sleep. I know it may be extremely creepy, but there's just something about her that lures me in. Draws my attention straight to her, and I can't quite put my finger on it. But looking at her, time seems to stop and everything else fades away....
cheesy. I know.

Is it her personality, humor or just her beautiful features?
Frankly I don't care.
She's really so nice, funny and beautiful. She's probably not single though. Dammit. Every time I meet a beautiful, nice girl she's always taken. Unlucky for me.

I was getting cold after I watched a couple of series because Aaliyah stole my blanket so I now I don't have one. And it's actually freezing. I pulled my legs up to my chest and tried to get some rest but it wasn't easy.
I tossed and turned, trying to get a comfortable position and to get warm.
"Shawn!" I heard a soft whisper, kind of in the form of a yell. I turned to my side and saw Maya sitting up. "Oh sorry. I'm sorry." I said looking at her, hoping she's okay and that she's not mad about me waking her up by not getting rest.

"What's wrong?" She asked and I turned to her, pulling my one leg up to my chest. Only to be embarrassed when it fell down again.
I'm such a creep .

I looked at her again and saw that she was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Can't sleep." I said shyly and she smiled, sitting more up straight. "Want some company?" She asked turning to me, with a cheeky smile on her face. "No. It's okay you can sleep Maya, it's really not necessary. I woke you up and that was the last thing I wanted to do." I said but she shook her head no.
"I'm done sleeping... for now." She smiled and I found myself blushing at her statement, wanting to stay awake and talk wih me a while.

"So, what can you tell me about yourself?" She asked and I pulled my one leg up to my chest, hoping for a better result this time. Not wanting it to fall down the seat again. "Depends on what you want to know." I said with a slight smirk, and I shivered.
Hope she didn't see that.
"Tell me everything." She said and threw her blanket over me, so we were both under it.
She scooted closer to me in her seat and rested her chin in her hand, looking straight into my eyes.
"Oh thank you." I said and blushed. "Okay." I started and we talked for about an hour and a half.

It was 3am and I saw her eyes growing heavier. "You can sleep Maya." I said chuckling and she blushed. "Okay. Goodnight Shawn." She said and closed her eyes. "Goodnight Maya." I said and turned back to face the seat infront of me.
A while later I felt something on my shoulder and I looked to see Maya resting her head on my shoulder.

She's asleep.

I pulled the blanket up to her neck and made myself comfortable too. I smiled, blushing as I looked down at her. But something caught my eye in the small light that peeked in from someone's iPad in front of us. A purple bruise on her cheek.
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

I know a punch bruise when I see it, and that was definitely it.

Who would someone ever want to hurt her?
And why?
It broke my heart to see it, and not to know why or who it was, was really killing me inside.
