The echo of my name reaches my ears softly and the trembling of my body caused by a pressure on my shoulders slowly bring me out of my sleep. I try to understand what's happening by opening my eyes and my blurred vision fades away until I clearly see who's shaking me. 

"Stop it..." I say in a whisper, not finding the strength to speak louder. 

When Cameron notices that I woke up, he stops calling my name and help me, sitting up. 

"Oh, God, Alyssa you scared the shit out of me." He sighs and cups my cheeks with his hands but I manage to remove them and try to get up. "Wait,... Hold on me" He says and helps me stand up by putting one of his arms around my waist. "We need to go to the hospital, come." He suggests but I just try to completely wake up because I'm really punchy at the moment. 

"What happened?" I ask, still holding on his arm so I don't fall. 

"You fainted but you could still answer my questions, now come on" He starts walking away and pulling me with him but I get off his embrace. 

"How long did it last?" I ask, running my hand through my hair. 

"A few minutes but we have to check out everything." He insists but I don't wanna go to the hospital, not now and not with him. 

I just wanna get back home and sleep. 

"No, I'm fine, I just need some sleep and to eat... I'm okay, I just want to drive home..." I say and head to where I parked my car. 

"You're kidding, right? You can't drive while you just fainted! You might have a problem, now come. On." He raises his voice and grabs my arm to stop me from getting in the car. 

I close my eyes a second again and shake my head to stay awake. 

"Let go of me, you said yourself that I answer the questions you asked me when I fainted so it isn't a big deal and you have no rights to tell me what to do. I'm old enough but thank you for caring. I'm really thankful that it happened while you were around but I'm telling you that I'm fine and the only thing I need right now is to get some rest." I snap out, holding the handle of my car door. "bye, Cameron." 

His gaze on me gets wider and his jaw contracts but he doesn't say anything so I just open the door and get in the vehicle. 

I lean my head on the steering wheel for some seconds, only to regain my senses and when I straighten up again, I look through the window but Cameron isn't here anymore. I sigh and drive away until I reach Shawn's place. I don't know what time is it or how long I've stayed with Cameron but it's already dark outside and the streets lights are on. 

I turn off the engine of the car and take my handbag and my phone that I left on the passenger seat the whole time I was with Cameron. 

Once I arrive at the front door, I hold out my hand to open it but someone on the other side opens it before I can do it, revealing Shawn.

An angry Shawn. 

"Where the fuck were you?" He shouts at me when his gaze falls on me. 

He was probably going to look for me since he has his jacket and shoes on. 

"Out" I simply reply, not wanting to argue so I get inside and ignore the fact that he's angry. 

"Out? And it was too much for you to check the time or your phone? I called you and your friends many times to check if you were with them!" He keeps shouting but closes the door behind him and follows me into the living room where I sat on the sofa. "You scared me! you can't just disappear for hours without warning anyone, especially when you're supposed to sleep over with me." He lowers his voice and sits next to me but he keeps on rambling. "I waited for you for so long and the night fell and-" He continues but I turn my head to him and cut him off. 

"Shawn, I forgot my phone in the car and I fainted so when I got back in the car I didn't look for my phone." I lean my elbows on my knees and rub my face with my hands. 

"What? b-but, What are you doing here? We gotta go to the hospital" Shawn starts panicking and stands up from where he was sitting which makes me look up at him and laugh. 

"No! I'm fine... I just want to sleep now and Cameron said that it lasted only a few minutes." I admit and get closer to him, wrapping my arms around his waist but he pulls me away as soon as he hears the name 'Cameron' coming out my mouth. 

"Cameron? You spend the whole evening with Cameron?" He asks with his furrowing eyebrows and his mouth a bit opened, showing how mad he is. 

Oh no, he can't blame me. I did nothing wrong. 

"Like you spent yours with Allie" I snap out without even thinking about it and the second I realize what I said, I regret. 

"For god's sake Alyssa, Allie is working with us! Unlike Cameron who's always trying to make a move when you're around!" He raises up his voice again and now his arms are crossed over his chest. 

He said my full name and that doesn't sound good. He doesn't call me 'Alyssa' anymore and it might be nothing but hearing saying it makes me feel bad. 

He wouldn't have called me Alyssa if he wasn't angry or... disappointed. However, I have nothing to worry about since I told him every time that I wasn't interested. 

"And I keep pushing him away! Can you stop making a scene now? I'm really tired and I just wanna sleep." I say, lowering my voice and trying to stop this because it's no use. 

He has nothing to worry about, he shouldn't worry even half a second. 

"You're not gonna sleep! Don't you see what you're doing to yourself? Don't you see how weak you are? So now come with me because you'll eat everything that's in the fridge." He changes the subject, now focusing on my health he takes my hand and drags me into the kitchen. 

"Shawn... I just forgot to eat at lunchtime..." I try to calm him down and to mitigate what happened but it doesn't work. 

The stubborn dude he is won't let me sleep if I don't eat so I give in to his orders and sit at the table. 

"This is bullshit! I honestly don't know what to do with you because even when I text your friend or when I remind you to eat, you still 'forget' and it's driving me crazy because you don't care at all!" He shouts at me while taking some plates from the fridge like if I was a little kid who did something bad. 

He acts like his my mom and this is so hilarious... but cute. He's perfect. 

He really is. 

"Can you stop shouting at me please, it wasn't my fault!" I say laughing at his attitude but then he turns to me, angrier than ever.  

"Of course it is! You know what, I'll buy way more water bottle and way more bananas so you can put them in your handbag as well as I take them with me." He says and set up the table for two.  

"You're overreacting" I pout when he gives me a plate of pasta and sits in front of me. 

"You're underreacting," He says, crossing his arms and probably waiting for me to eat everything. 

I don't deserve him. I really don't. 

His gaze on me, I start to eat but I can't stop smiling at him looking angry. 

"Oh come on! I'm eating, stop looking mad." I say, pulling out my bottom lip and widening my eyes with the only purpose to make him feel guilty and stop acting rude. 

And, guess what? It does work since the second he sees my face a giggle leaves his mouth even though he struggled not to fail. 

"You're driving me crazy, you know that, right?" He asks, getting up from his chair and I nod, smiling with my mouth full of pasta. "And I hate you, you know that, right?" He asks again and I nod again right before he leans his soft lips on mine.
