Home/Shawn Mendes

Part 24

Maya:

I was laying down in the floor, feeling the aching pain in my head. He kicked me hard to the head once I fell down after he slapped me. I'm so afraid, to be near him and around him.

I got up and crawled over to the phone, but he got me before I could reach it. "OW!" I yelled and started crying.

He did it.

He finally did it.

He cut me with a knife, in the side of my arm. "Marcus. Marcus please. Look at me." I said and his eyes became soft. "Please." I pleaded softly.

He dropped the knife and walked away.

I shoot up and started breathing heavily. "Maya?" I heard his voice. "S-Shawn?" I asked and looked closer to see if it's really him.

I'm still on edge and I feel like I'm in a strange place. It took me some time to get to know where I actually was. And I calmed down a bit.

Knowing he's here and I'm okay.

He was laying beside me.

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you." I said and he sat up. "It's okay. Bad dream?" He asked and I nodded. "Listen Maya. I actually want to talk to you. I know it's 4am but I need to tell you." He started and took my hand.

"You know I really like you but I don't want to force you into anything you're not ready for. So don't think that you have to do these things to keep me happy because I just want you to be happy. So don't feel for-" he was about to finish his sentence but I kissed him.

Softly placing my hand on his cheek, playing with his hair. I felt his cheek heating up in the palm of my hand, and I smiled into the kiss.

"Okay?" He said more like a question. "Thank you. And don't worry I don't feel forced. But I do need a little time." I said softly and he smiled at me, as if I just told him te best news.

To be honest I was confused at his adorable smile.

"Take all the time you need. I'll be waiting." He said and kissed my cheek before laying down again. "Oh so you're not leaving? I thought you don't want this to be forced or weird?" I said mocking him.

He laughed, "Heck no. I'm not leaving you alone here." He said and pulled me down onto his chest. "Shawn." I said but he cut me off.

"Ssshhh. Tomorrow it can be normal, but for now, let's just enjoy the moment." He said kissing my forehead.

I smiled at his cheesiness and fell asleep again, happier than ever.
