Sleeping Alone: For Nina

*Nina's POV*

I sighed, cleaning the makeup off my face. I only put any on because I thought Shawn and I were going out that night. But I never would have if I knew that I would still be at home at ten o'clock with no sign of him.

It hurt a bit that he flaked on me. We had planned on going on a date a whole week before, making sure that it fit into both of our schedules. I was happy that we would finally be going out again after almost a month of being too busy to do so. But, of course, he didn't show up.

It wasn't until ten-thirty that headlights flashed through the living room window and I heard Shawn's car door close. I stood up and waited at the door as he unlocked it. Shawn opened the door and came inside. "Hey," he muttered.

I crossed my arms, pretty mad at him. "Where have you been?" I asked.

He sighed, "Look Nina, I didn't mean to be late. I just got caught up at the studio. We had to finish something before we could leave." His excuse had almost no effect on me.

"And you couldn't pick any other time to do whatever it was?" I argued, "It had to be tonight. The night that was supposed to be our night."

Shawn started to take off his jacket. "We can always do it another night," he spoke, "It's really not the end of the world."

My mouth fell open a little. "Really?" I shot, "So this means absolutely nothing to you? Even though you promised me that you would be free tonight. You know what, goodnight." I turned from him and started to head up the stairs to our bedroom.

"Wait, Nina, I didn't mean it like that," Shawn tried.

I didn't listen though. "Nope," I replied, "You can sleep on the couch tonight. Hopefully you're ready to apologize by morning."

After that, I quickly made my way up the rest of the stairs and into our room, closing the door behind me. I placed my hands on my head and leaned back against the door. None of what happened went how I wanted it to. I didn't want to get into a fight with Shawn, but he didn't give me much of a choice. Soon, I had gotten ready for bed and lied down under the covers.

However, I kept tossing and turning. I was tired, but somehow I just wasn't getting to sleep. Eventually, I heard the bedroom door open. I knew it must be Shawn so I pretended to be asleep.

He sat down on the side of the bed opposite me and I watched him in the darkness. He leaned forward, holding his head in his hands. "Nina," he started, "I know you're awake."

I must have not been pretending to be asleep well enough. "What's up?" I asked, sitting up.

Shawn sat up straight and faced me. "I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for coming home late," he apologized, "I should have saved the work for another time or at least let you know that I would be late. I don't want you to be mad at me. I won't do it again."

"And I hope you forgive me," he continued, "because I can't sleep out on the couch without you. I get so scared sleeping alone. I hate it." It surprised me hearing that.

"You really get that scared?" I asked him.

"Yes," he nodded, "It's just so quiet and I always think of reaching out to put my arm around you before I realize that you're not next to me. I haven't slept at all tonight."

"Me neither."

"Really?"

"Mmhmm," I hummed, "And don't worry, I accept your apology. Also, I'm sorry I made such a big deal out of it. I just wanted to spend time with you. We've both been so busy lately and I feel like I haven't been with you at all. I miss you a lot."

I felt Shawn place his hand on mine. "I miss you too," he replied, "Do you forgive me?"

"Of course," I said and reached over to turn on the light.

When I faced Shawn again, I saw that he had dark bags under his bloodshot eyes. He looked really tired and like he possibly could have been crying.

"You really didn't sleep at all did you?"

He shook his head no and laid down, putting his arm around me, "I can't fall asleep without you beside me."

I smiled, turning around so that he was holding me from behind. Shawn kissed my neck right below my ear gently. I giggled at the tickling feeling and held his hand. The last thing I remember was turning off the light and and Shawn's grip on my hand loosening slightly before I fell asleep.
