Selinas P.o.V
After breakfast I went upstairs to take a shower. I stripped off the clothes and looked at myself in the mirror. The marks I got from Daniel were showing and made me feel dirty, abused and just horrible. I quickly turned away from the mirror and turned the water on, sitting on the floor of the shower, feeling the water heating up with time. Soon the tears started running down my eyes, the feeling of guilt and embarrassment rushing through my hurting body. The water was too hot, burning my skin lightly yet I didn't care enough to turn it colder. A small sob escaped my mouth before I could stop it. I curled myself up in a ball. Why was I so stupid? I ruined everything. Shawn, Daniel, what's next?
I didn't know how much time I spent in the shower, I wasn't sure if the world stopped spinning or got really fast. My breathing got harder and I closed my eyes.
There was a noise, I couldn't identify it, but it was there. My vision was blurry from the tears. The curtain was pushed back quickly and the water stopped. I looked up quickly, letting out a high pitched scream, thinking it was Daniel coming back to finish what he started. My body was preparing for the pain that would come and I curled myself up, trying to hide.
I flinched when something touched me...but it wasn't pain that I felt. It was a towel being wrapped around my body. I slowly looked up again, not being able to stop shaking. It wasn't Daniel. It was Shawn. He picked me up, he didn't hurt me. My body relaxed a little, my head falling against his shoulders. "You'll be fine, Selina. He can't hurt you anymore", Shawn whispered. I didn't believe him, but I didn't tell him that. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes. Shawn carried me through the hallway to my room where he placed me on the bed carefully and quickly got some clothes for me. I didn't care about the clothes right now, I curled myself up in a ball again, hiding under my blanket and kept the towel close to me.
This was hell. What did I do? Why did something like that had to happen to me?
I flinched as I felt the blanket being pulled away. "Selina", Shawn mumbled and lifted me up lightly, pulling a hoodie over my head. He removed the towel and looked into my eyes while he pulled a slip up my legs, so that I wasn't naked anymore. His lips touched my forehead lightly, making me smile lightly. "Can we cuddle, please?", I whispered and he nodded, carefully laying down next to me.
I rested my head against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. It was relaxing me. He was. I hid my face in the crook of his neck, taking a deep breath. "You smell good", I whispered, making him chuckle. "I do?", his voice was quiet and calm, he was smiling, I could hear it. What the hell did I do to deserve this precious human being? I didn't know, but I was glad he was here with me. Despise all the mistakes I made.
