POV Ally

I sat crying on the edge of the bed and put my cell phone aside. A soft knock could be heard and I had to think twice if I should really get up to open the door. With both arms I supported myself so that I had enough strength to answer the door. 

When I opened the door I saw a worried Shawn. Immediately he stormed in, wrapped my weak body with his strong arms and pressed me close to him. He lifted me up a little, took a few steps towards the room and closed the door behind us with his foot.

I clung firmly to him while he calmly stroked over my head. Again tears left my eyes and wet Shawn's shirt.

"Shh Ally.. It can't be that bad," Shawn said in a quiet voice.

"They' ve been saying that since the beginning. They hate me, Shawn! They hate me," I sobbed again and cried all the more.

Gently he got away from me, picked me up and carried me to the bed. At the edge of the bed he carefully sat me down and kneeled down in front of me so that we could look each other in the eyes. He opened his mouth, but closed it again immediately.

"What?", my voice broke and again a tear rolled down.

Shawn slowly raised his arm, put his hand on my cheek, wiped away the tear with his thumb and let his hand rest there. I saw his eyes fixate every detail of my face and it seemed like he was storing everything right in his head.

"Alyssa... I have to tell you something," he said quietly.

Immediately our eyes met again and my crying stopped. Shawn's hand moved from my cheek to my left thigh. He did not place his hand on my thigh as if he wanted to become intimate, more than a sign that he was worried. After a while of silence I raised an eyebrow so he might finally start talking.

"I don't know how to say this, but you are such a beautiful person with a heart of pure gold. You have quirks, for example that you can be incredibly stubborn, but remember: Even a diamond has corners and edges. What I'm saying is that you're my very personal diamond that couldn't be more beautiful," he stopped for a moment before he continued. "Alyssa Miller, I like you in a very special way and that's what counts. My fans don't know how great you can be in private life, but I know it and I can say with complete conviction that you're not easy to forget."
