SHE'LL BE THE ONE - SHAWN MENDES

" He won't believe you "

  " What Shawn? What do you want to hear? You want to hear how I was that stupid and believed that YOU sent me that message? How I believed Chris because he's your friend and we both " know " him? Or you want to hear how I was scared like never before because this time you weren't there? "  

...

Shawn's POV:

I promised myself I won't fall asleep but I couldn't hold on. I fell asleep on my couch and it was 3am when Katherine started having a nightmares again. But this time that wasn't like the other nights. I came closer to her and she didn't wake up. When I put my hands on her cheeks she started screaming.

" DON'T TOUCH ME. "

" Shhh it's me, Shawn. Wake up. "

In one moment she woke up and she pushed me away. I thought she will stop screaming but she didn't.

" I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME. "

" Kat it's me, it's me, Shawn. You had a nightmare. "

She started crying so hard and I hugged her. She started hitting me.

" Hey hey. I'm here. Nobody will touch you. I'm here. "

She was in my hug and somehow I managed to calm her down. She's lying on me and I'm whispering to her that everything will be okay while my hand is going trough her hair. My mum came and she asked me if everything's okay. I only could tell her " She will be okay. I'm with her now. " And then she left the room without any words after.

" Shh. Kat, tell me what happened there. I promise it won't change anything. Look, I'm here with you right now, nobody will touch you. Nobody will hurt you baby."

She stood up and she was looking at me with tears in her eyes.

" What do you want to hear Shawn? 'Cause I know what you want to ask me. "

" I want to hear what you've been through. "

" Why don't you ask me directly? Why don't you ask me DID BRIAN TOUCH YOU?! "

" Because that won't change anything between you and me. And I want to hear everything. "

" What Shawn? What do you want to hear? You want to hear how I was that stupid and believed that YOU sent me that message? How I believed Chris because he's your friend and we both " know " him? Or you want to hear how I was scared like never before because this time you weren't there? "

Her tears were running down her face and after every sentince she wiped them. That was killing me and I tried not to cry but with every word she said I couldn't hold on. God, she needed me and I just stood there without coming right after her.

" You really want to hear that Shawn? "

" Yes, 'cause you're right. I wasn't there. And I want you to share that with me. Because you don't have to go through this alone. You know that. "

" I know that and it's okay. You can't be always near me Shawn. You can't be the one who will always save me from someone or something. And you know what? When Chris slapped me I was thinking that I actually deserved that. 'Cause I actually did. "

" Wait, Chris slapped you? "

"Yes, that's exactly what I said."

I really wanted to visit those two fools who are in prison now. But I decided to wait because there's something else I wanted to know.

"He's lucky he's in prison, because if he wasn't, he'd be in hospital."

You could still see tears in her eyes, but she chuckled. But, I meant that for real.

"Sorry for what I was about to ask you earlier.. but I remember seeing a piece of your t-shirt on the floor then and..."

She looked at me wide-eyed and then put her hand on my shoulder.

"Wait? That's why you're concerned? Oh, no, Shawn, let me explain what happened."

flashback

Katherine's POV:

I was still sitting on the floor of this room and thinking, when Chris and Brian came. They were fighting about something, I didn't quite understand what because they were talking too loud and fast.

I just stared at them and wondered if they're going to stop soon because my head started aching. So I decided to tell them to stop.And I regret that.

"Hey, you two! Look, you're not alone in here, so can you please shut up."

They looked at me surprisingly and then Chris came closer to me.

"So you think you can tell us what to do? You're not at the position to do that, hun."

"I can't stand up right now, but I'll always be at the higher position than you are."

I felt proud when I said that, but what I felt the next moment was pain in my left cheek.

He slapped me. And he looked even more furious than he was before. Then Brian came closer, too and looked at Chris.

"Bro, I think we're running out of time." He told him and smiled, smiled the way Brian always smiles.

"So, what do you suggest we do?"

"This."

He said and grabbed my tied up hands. I tried to break away from him, but his grip was too strong. I could only scream and hit him while he was dragging me across the floor. He stopped in front of some other door and opened it, then threw me into the room.

It was shockingly cold inside.

"Now, you're going to be quiet."

Before he left, he approached me and I started hitting him, but I couldn't stop him from what he was about to do. He grabbed my hands again, so I couldn't hit him anymore and he ripped my t-shirt.

" STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? "

" SHUT UP. This is what am I doing when someone like you doesn't want to cooperate with me. "

" What? Stop using your ways to make me do what you want me to do! You can't do that with me okay?! "

" Why do you think that? Because you're Shawn's girlfriend? Believe me I don't care hahaha. "

" Well you should care because if he knows what've you done to me right now he will... "

" Of course he will know about this. But.... on other way. "

" What? What are you talking about? "

" A plan girl. A plan. "

" Wait... No, you won't do that. You can't do that. "

" Yes I can. So... good luck with that. I guess you will have a lot to explain to him. If you come alive from here of course. "

" He won't believe you! You hear me?! "

" But he will ask you for sure. "

End of flashback

" And I thought you won't ask me that Shawn. Because that hurt me. And I know that you care about me but you can't say that wouldn't change anything. Because if that happened....

" Don't say that. Please. "

I  kissed her and she smiled.

" I'm glad that I have you Shawn. I wouldn't know what to do without you. I love you so much. "

" I love you more than anything baby. And I will always be there for you. You know that. "

I hugged her as hard as i could.

" You can sleep with me in your bed if you want " She told me and I laughed.

" Thank you mrs. Katherine "

I laid next to her and wrapped my arms around her. We both fell asleep very fast.
