Part 71: encountered with Rachel

Shawn:

My mum insisted that I stay over for dinner tonight before going back home.
But in order to have dinner, I needed to go out to get some ingredients.

"You know, I missed sending you off to the supermarket." She laughed as she ruffled up my air, standing by my car window.
"I'm sorry mum. I disappointed you."

She cupped my cheek, caressing my skin as she stepped closer to the car. I missed her touch. She kissed my forehead, a smile on her face.
"You're my son. Nothing you ever do will disappoint me."
"I love you mum."
"Love you too."

I drove off, heading to the supermarket. As I pulled up in the parking lot, I saw Adriana walking inside as well. "Great." I sighed, getting out of my car and walking inside.

I saw her walking to the isles and I grabbed a basket, heading towards the isles as well.
Just as I turned down one I saw the, oh so well known blonde hair.
I was hoping to never see her again, never in my entire life.
As she turned around and her eyes met mine, I stopped in my tracks.

The devilish smile is still on her lips, and my legs started shaking as my palms got sweaty.

Doomsday.

"Oh my god. If it isn't Shawn Mendes." The sound of my name rolling down her lips made me feel weak again, like I was once again captured in her power.

I hate this, I hate her.

💞Adriana:

After Liam dropped my off at home again, he left.
As did I.

I didn't tell anyone where I was going, but my legs were restless and I had a deep craving for cookie dough ice cream on this harshly cold day.
So I went to the supermarket.

I was in the isle, looking for the tub when I heard the laugh of a girl.
"Oh my god. If it isn't Shawn Mendes."

My heart started pounding in my chest.
He's here? I stepped closer to the other isle, to hear what's going on. "R-Rachel." He stuttered.

Oh god, not that Bitch.

"I see you're still as pathetic as you always were. But I heard you found a new hoe to keep you company. Do you take her to your secret places as well?"
Now she crossed the line, and that shows me how much Shawn cared, loved and trusted her. He only shows those places to people he loves and trust.
He kept quiet, stuttering some words here and there, but she just laughed at him.

I sighed.
"I can't let him face this alone." I whispered to myself, biting down on my nail to think if I should help him or not.
He still is the love of my heart, life, soul. And it pains me to see him under her control.

"Tell me Shawn, how can she love you if those scars on your heart belong to me?"

That's it. Fuck this bitch.

I walked out from the isle I'm in, straight up to him. "Because I for one own all the healing wounds." I placed my hand down on his shoulder, placing my tub of ice cream down in his basket.
Just so it looks like we came here together. "Well well well." She laughed again, crossing her arms over her chest.

Shawn looked at me with a confused look, but played along. "He'll ruin you sweetheart. Besides, he's weak. There's nothing juicy to him." Just as I was about to say something, Shawn spoke up.
For once not stuttering.

"I made a mistake with loving you Rachel. And yeah, you may have destroyed a big part of my life, with having me under your control, making me do things that I didn't want to but you know what. You're defeated because nothing you do or say now will ever make me feel small again. You're the one who went down, while I'm standing tall." He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me in to his side.

"And this girl..." he looked down at me. I saw the tears pooling in his eyes, but they were still red from crying not too long ago.
"She's everything to me. And I'm lucky that I found her and that she loved me for me, she didn't force me to do anything just to win her love. So you can go suck my ass because out of this entire thing... I didn't loose shit. But look at you." I wanted to cry at how he held me, how he talked about me.

I miss him so much.

"You're the disappointment." She just stumped her heel and walked off, and I heard Shawn letting out a deep breath.

What do I do now?
