Bad Reputation | S.M.

Chapter 28

"Hank please stop!" I yelled and he threw another punch. Shawn grabbed his collar and pinned him against the wall and punched him as hard as he could, hitting him multiple times until his face was covered in his own blood.

"Shawn!" I yelled and got up from the floor to hold him back. I grabbed him by the shoulders and looked him in the eyes, trying to calm him down.

"Don't think pretty girl that this is over, he may be here right now but," Hank coughed. "He won't always be here to save you."

Shawn tried to lunge at Hank, but I held him back. Hank quickly walked away and I held Shawn's face.

"Hey, hey." I said and he looked at me. "Come on, let's go inside. I opened the door, holding Shawn's hand in mine, and walked up to my room. He sat down on my bed and I went into my bathroom to get the first aid kit. I went back into my room and lifted Shawn's head up to see a cut on his lip and top of his cheek along with a bruised eye.

"Oh babe, I'm sorry." I said and grabbed some rubbing alcohol on with a cotton ball.

"No I'm sorry, I just made things worse for you." He said and put his hands on my waist.

"Don't worry about that right now." I shook my head and dabbed the cotton ball on his cuts, making him wince. "Sorry."

"Let me help you pay the rent."

"Shawn, no."

"Please Nicole."

"Shawn, I don't want to want you and have to need you, just let me want you." I said and he looked down. "Look at me Shawn." I said and he looked back up.

"I will manage, I always do." I shrugged and smiled. I finished cleaning up his cuts and put a small bandaid on the one on his cheek. "I'll be right back I have to check on my brothers."

I walked out of my room and knocked on my brother's door.

"Hey, it's me we're fine now." I said and Jacob opened the door.

"What did that asshole want?"

"Money, but it's fine, we dealt with it." I said and he put the bat down. "Wanna order some pizza for all of us?"

"Sure sis."

"Where's Hunter?" I asked and look into the room to see my little brother taking a nap.

"He knocked out a little while ago."

"Of course." I chuckled. "I'll be in my room if you guys need me." I closed the door behind me and walked back into my room and Shawn was laying on my bed, staring at my ceiling.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, and you? I know you hit your head." He said and I sat down next to him.

"I completely forgot about that." I said and we both chuckled. He sat up and checked back of my head, touching the spot I had hit on the wall making me wince.

"You have a small bump, but I think you're fine babe." He said and I nodded. "I'm sorry again Nicole."

"Shawn, it is fine, leave it." I sighed and gave him a kiss.

"Do you think it's okay if I stay here tonight, I can't let my mom see my face or else she'll beat me too."

"You're always welcome here babe." I smiled and placed a kiss on his lips. "I hope you're fine with pizza tonight."

"I'm fine with anything." He smiled. I sat on my bed with my legs crossed as Shawn laid back down again. He laid his head on my thighs and I began to run my hands through his hair.
