Shawn knew what he did was a mistake. At the time it sounded like a fun game to play, so he agreed to do it.

"I dare you to date her, only for like 2 weeks, and once you get what you want dump her." His friend shrugged as they talked about y/n. Shawn thought it would be easy, and he wouldn't get attached. But he was wrong.

It started slowly, then all at once. One date turned into a date every Friday, sending cute snapchats to each other, spending every second they could with each other. Shawn had never felt this way about anyone. He was falling in love with her, and she was too. The thing is she didn't know about the bet until shawns friend told her.

"Are you y/n, Shawn's girlfriend?" A boy with brownish blond hair that was very messy asked as she walked home from school.

"Um," she looked up and met his dark brown eyes, "yeah."

"I have to tell you something about him," as she listened to the boy that she soon found out was named Matt, her heart was slowly breaking. All the dates, kisses, texts, conversations, entered her mind. All the things he did, or said meant nothing to him. Y/n felt used, and worthless.

"Thank you for telling me." She managed to say.

"I just thought you should know." Matt said before patting her back softly and walking away. She hung her head down low as she walked back home. She knew it had been too good to be true. A guy like Shawn doesn't go after a girl like her, she thought.

Before you read any further, if depression, suicide or anything like that triggers you I advise you to stop reading now. I am in NO way making fun of this, or trying to romanticize this.

Shawn was on his way to y/n's house when he got a call from his friend Matt.

"Don't worry about continuing on with the dare, I already told her the truth." Shawns heart dropped, and his blood ran cold.

"What?" Shawn asked angrily and confused.

"She knows Shawn." Shawn felt like he couldn't breathe. He quickly hung up and went to find her contact.

Her hands trembled as she held the orange bottle. She wasn't doing this over some boy, she was tired of being unwanted. She didn't want to be here anymore. Shawn just so happened to be the one that pushed her to this point.

Her voice mail rang throughout his ears. He threw his phone down in the passengers seat and leaned his head against the steering wheel. He slammed his fist against the steering wheel. He knew he messed up, this was all his fault and he had to fix it.

She slowly unscrewed the lid off the bottle of prescription pills. A glass of water was beside her on the counter. She took a deep breath and took a glance at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were stained with salty tears, her black mascara was smeared underneath her eyes. She shook her head as she poured a handful of pills into her hand. Without thinking she popped them into her mouth and took a gulp of water. She sat down on the bathroom floor, her knees up to her chest, and her head resting on them.

Shawn pulled into her driveway and ran up to her door. He knocked a couple of times, but when nobody came to the door Shawn began to get worried. He remembered how she had a key under the mat, she told him that when they got back from the park one day. He unlocked the door and walked in to see all the lights off. He was going to leave, but he saw y/n's phone on the kitchen counter. He knew that she would never just leave her phone at home if she went somewhere. Shawn called out her name, when he got no response he got even more worried. He jogged up the stairs, calling her name repeatedly. He walked past the bathroom and noticed that the light was on, and the door was slightly cracked.

Shawn fell to his knees when he saw her body on the floor.

"No, no," he lifted her in his arms picking her up bridal style, "y/n come on baby." He said frantically. He quickly called 911, and waited impatiently for them to arrive.

"You're going to be okay, you have to!" Shawn yelled as he sobbed. He held her in his arms rocking back and forth as he cried softly. The paramedics arrived soon and carried her out on a stretcher. Shawn followed them to the hospital. This was all his fault.
