—JANE—

My eye flicker around a bit as I try to readjust to the bright lighting in my hospital room. I had just dreamt of a possibility of what Shawn might do to separate Gray and I.

I feel like I'm still somewhat stuck in the dream world because I see a tall and dark figure with arms crossed at the edge of my bed. I try blinking it away but then I realize I can't and that this is indeed reality. It walks into what light provided by the fading sun. I choke on air when I realize who it is. "Great, you're awake." He says and I'm still shook that he's here. "Now talk. You don't fucking hang up on me and turn off your phone. I swear to God, I'll speed things up just bec—" I cut him off.

"You need to stop." I breathe out. I feel my eyes well up and my airways constricting. "Please, Shawn, I'm trying to be happy but you're—"

"Shut the fuck up, Jane, to be honest you're so fucking annoying. How does Grayson deal with your bitchy ass?" He spats and I'm taken aback. "And don't think I'm fucking stupid, I'm not giving up until I have you. Now," he calms down and runs a hand through his curly hair. "You can break Grayson's heart and we'll leave and start a life together or you can make everyone's lives hell and act like a stubborn bitch." He tilts his head and gives me a psychotic smile. I bite my lip feeling an uneasy feelings settling in my stomach. "By the way, everything will be affecting your little girl too. I mean, poor Violet-Grace, it's such a shame that—"

"No." I cut him off bluntly. He looks up at me puzzled at my answer. He laughs in disbelief.

"Excuse me?" He narrows his honey coloured eyes at me. "Did you just—"

"Yes, I did." I answer confidently. "I said no. You're not going to do anything to hurt the people in my life because I'm asking oh-so-sweetly." I pull on a sarcastic smile. "I mean, come on, Shawn, you don't even know me enough to love me let alone run away with me. You're 26 years old, stop acting childish! I swear, if you keep up this foolish act, i will tell Grayson and call the police to deport you. i'm sorry, but you're compromising my health and my sense of security and affected my pregnancy in a negative way, and i don't appreciate it at all. my daughter doesn't deserve that. now," i take in a deep breath. "if you don't leave, i'm gonna press the call nurse button and have you exposed that you were ever here and have them escort you out of this hospital."

he smirks and edges closer to me. "i'm gonna leave, but you so dare mention anything to grayson and he's behind bars faster than you can cry out 'mercy'." he says with a deadly manner. he begins walking out of the room but then stops and walks over to violet-grace's crib and smirks when he sees her. he strokes her face and i gulp.

"don't touch my daughter." i order him and he chuckles like a sociopath.

"she'll be a mendes soon enough." with that he leaves and i let out a breath of relief. it was only minutes later when grayson, kim, and natti came back into my room. it's hard to pay attention to them when i've had the scariest encounter of my life just moments before.

this ends now. once i'm discharged i'm going to pack and move back in with my parents. i can't handle not knowing which staff members and two-faced and which are genuine. i'm going to tell grayson because he deserves that much. it's not fair that it's been almost a full year keeping this a secret. he needs to know.

shawn is done ruining my life. i'm taking it back.

oof! i'm soooooooo sorrry for not posting. i honestly don't have an excuse. please forgive me! anyways, hope you've enjoyed.

i understand that even though i spread out my updates, school is coming up and i'm gonna be starting high school so i need to focus more in order to be able to have more free time to write.

be prepared that after august 15th that updates will continue be slower. i'm sorry but i can't have bad grades go onto my report card again because i don't pay attention. since it's high school that means i'm getting a permanent record and i need to be thinking about my future.

anyways, i love you all! and have an amazing day/night! and remember: you matter♥️
