I'll Protect You

She walked in, not saying anything this is unlike her normal self, normally calling her lover as soon as she enters the door but this evening was different.

Shawn walked out the kitchen seeing her taking off her coat and hanging it up, he smiled brightly at the woman that was his and he hugged her from behind and wrapped his arms around the body of the girl he loved.

"Hey baby I missed you today" Shawn says and kisses her neck but she flinches and moves out of his strong grip and Shawn doesn't understand what just happened. He watches as she walks up the stairs her heels clicking on the floor and her dress swaying side to side. "I'm going for a shower" she says and leaves the poor boy confused.

He doesn't take it to heart and thinks she just had a bad day so he leaves it and carries on cooking the soup he was preparing. He wonders through out his cooking what could've happened but quickly brushed it off thinking she's just having a mood swing.

But she's there crying in the shower, the hot water running down her body relaxing her muscles and she covers her mouth trying to stop the loud sobs that escape her mouth.

Shawn sat waiting in the living room with two bowls of soup and two glasses of water ready for himself and his love and of course he wouldn't start eating with out her.

Y/n walks in wearing her black leggings and one of Shawn's shirts and her hair is a little damp and wavy, her face is bare and Shawn loves seeing her like this except she has a look of sadness on her face.

She sits on the edge of the sofa almost too far away from Shawn but he doesn't think anything of it. "I made you that soup you like and we can watch riverdale if you want" he suggests trying to get a reaction out of her. "Okay whatever you want" she mumbles.

Shawn passes her the bowl and turns on the tv and they watch in silence. He glances her way to see the bowl is still full and she's been staring out of the window stuck in a trance.

"I love Archie I think he's my favourite, you love KJ Apa right" Shawn says trying to make her talk but she doesn't respond and he's full of fear, what's happened to his precious girl?

"Hey darling are you okay" he asks and she remains quiet. He grabs the bowl from her hands and sets it on the table and moves closer to her putting his large hands on her legs attempting to comfort her, she looks up at him and Shawn sees the tears forming in her eyes.

"Please angel don't cry" he rubs his thumbs over her skin but her tears won't stop and his heart breaks. "Or do, you can cry all you want" he says and she clutches on to Shawn's hands and holds them so tightly that it hurts him but he doesn't care.

"Baby what's the matter did something happen today" he asks gently and she bursts out in to a hysterical cry and Shawn out of instinct wraps his arms around her and she moves close to his chest gripping his black shirt and dampening the material with her tears.

Her rubs her back and strokes her hair in attempt to calm her down but her cries get louder and Shawn almost begins to cry too, it hurts him deeply to his love break down like this.

He takes her face in to his hands and holds her up but she remains looking down and she tries to silence her crying. "Angel look at me" his voice is so sweet. She looks up in to his eyes and he sees her eyes red with sadness and her lips are slightly parted as she hiccups from crying.

"Tell me what happened and I'll do anything to make you happy I swear" Shawn promises and he means every word with all the bones in his body. "Shawn I-" she cries again not being able to talk like someone is gripping her neck making her suffer but Shawn's gentle touch makes her feel safe as he rubs his warm hands over her shivering body.

"Go on you can tell me, baby I just want you to be comfortable" he says sweetly and she nods looking in to his eyes. She clears her throat and Shawn uses his thumbs to wipe her damp face. "Shawn at work it was Ben he" she couldn't finish the sentence and cried softly again.

"What? What did he do? did he fucking touch you? I swear to god I will break him, baby what did he do" he pleads wanting to know what he did to hurt his girl but another side of him couldn't bare the thought.

"He pushed me and he grabbed me and I couldn't move I froze Shawn, he was so close to but Olivia walked in" she clears her throat. "I couldn't do anything my body shut down and I told Olivia not to say anything because I'm scared, I'm scared Shawn" she looks up at him and a tear escapes his gorgeous eyes.

"Angel, I'm going to beat the shit out of him, how dare he touch you? My baby" he says in disgust and she grips his arms wanting to be close to him. "Shawn I'm scared" she whispers and his anger turns in to sadness, the girl he loves is scared and he feels hopeless.

"I wish I could take away your pain, you don't have to be scared I'm going to protect you and I won't ever let something like this happen again, you're too precious and I can't have you being sad it breaks me" he whispers against her lips.

"Shawn I'm sorry" she says and he grows confused. "Don't apologise baby it wasn't your fault and I will press charges against him, I'll kill him if you want me too just don't apologise and know that you're safe with me okay" she nods in response and he holds her close, closer than ever.

She feels safe knowing she has a kind soul like Shawn to love her.

"Should we go to bed and we can deal with this in the morning" he says and she agrees, he carries her upstairs and lays her in bed going next to her and pulling her in so her back and his chest are touching. He links there hands in front her and she feels at peace.

"You don't ever have to be afraid with me okay darling" he says and pecks her cheek.

"Thank you Shawn, I feel safe with you all the time" she responds and he hums a heavenly tune in her ear and she drifts to sleep feeling more protected than ever.
