I sighed as I slowly walked the short distance from the bus stop back to my house. I just came back from a long day at school and I just wanted to sleep for the rest of my life. Everything was going so bad right now that I just wanted to go far away and never come back.
I turned into the driveway of the house and spotted my mom standing by the kitchen window near the front door. I waved at her, asking if she quickly could open the door since my keys were buried deep inside my backpack and I wanted to get inside as fast as possible since it was pretty cold in the light rain outside. She just shook her head no and I sighed before placing my bag onto the ground and started searching for my keys. By the time I finally found them the door opened and I quickly hurried inside just to be greeted by my mom already yelling at me.
"Why do you have keys young lady? I'm not your slave that has to do everything you want, I was cooking so why can't you just open the door by yourself?"
"I'm so-"
"No, when will you learn it? It's not even just you, also your brother -" I rolled my eyes and slipped out of my shoes. I walked into the kitchen while my mom was still arguing.
"Gosh it's okay! I just had a long day and just want to come home but I'm not even inside and you immediately start yelling at me! I just couldn't find my keys!" I snapped at her before I turned around and hurried up the stairs into my room. My eyes burned as I let myself fall onto my bed but I didn't want to cry now. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through instagram until I heard my mom from downstairs calling us for dinner.
"Did you get the results of your last class tests?" my dad asked once we all sat around the table.
"Uhh, no." I lied and gulped.
"And how was that chemistry test of yours?"
"I don't know, not that good to be honest." I mumbled and just stared down at my plate.
"Damn it! You can't go on like this, you really have to study more!"
"I do! But I didn't understand what was asked and the whole class had problems, I'm not the only one!"
"I don't care about the others! I really think we will have to take your phone away for a while so you can concentrate on school again!"
"No please-"
"I will not discuss this any longer! You will give it to me right after dinner when you go upstairs!" my dad continued telling me how bad my school grades were but I didn't want to hear it so I just ignored it. I already knew about it myself.
After dinner my parents kept my phone with them and I stormed into my room angrily. This time I couldn't fight back the tears. They rolled down my cheeks and I tried to muffle the sob that escaped my lips. (welcome to my life...)
I paced around my room and thought about what to do now. I looked at my watch and made my decision. I quickly grabbed my wallet and a warm hoodie I once stole from my boyfriend before I opened the window. I climbed out and once I was on the ground I started running to the bus station. I waited a few minutes and quickly got in as the bus finally arrived. It took me about half an hour until I finally reached the bus station near my boyfriend's apartment.
I knocked on his door and a few moments later the door opened and Shawn stood in front of me in a pair of sweatpants and a simple red t-shirt.
"Hey baby, what are you doing here?" I didn't answer him, I just wrapped my arms around him and held him tight. He understood and pulled me closer, closing the door behind us.
"Can I stay here for the night?" I asked after a while.
"Of course baby! But please tell me first what's wrong." He asked softly and pulled me onto his lap, sitting down on the sofa.
"Ugh everything is getting too much right now. School, my parents... I can't do this any longer."
"What happened?" Shawn softly kissed my cheek and let his fingers brush through my long hair, trying to calm me down.
"My parents are angry because of school again. They say I have to study more and are angry because of my grades. They keep telling me how bad I am but damn it, I already know it okay? I know that I'm not good, they don't have to remind me every single moment. I know that I have to study more. But I also have a life! I know that I will get problems with school. I know that. And I also know that I might have to do the class again if I keep failing. I already know that! I know that I will never get that stupid degree because I'm too stupid but I don't know what to do anymore!" I didn't even realize I started yelling and crying until Shawn held me in his arms tightly, kissing my tears away.
"Shhh baby, it's okay. Everything is okay." he whispered and after I calmed down again he turned to look at me.
"Listen to me, princess. First of all, you're not stupid! You can do this and I know it because you are the smartest girl I know." I was about to protest but he cut me off by placing a finger onto my lips.
"Second of all, I will help you with wathever you want. I'm here for you and you can always come to me okay?" I nodded and leaned my head back at his chest.
"Can we just go away, please?" I whispered.
"I would love to, believe me, I would immediately start packing my things right know. But you know we can't. So we will have to stay here. But like I said, I'm here for you, you don't have to go through this alone, I promise!" He softly kissed my head that was still laying on his chest.
"Thank you Shawn!"
"For?"
"For being there for me when no one else is. For always being by my side. I can't thank you enough for that! This means so much to me."
"Princess I will always be there for you, I promise!"
"This is why I love you so damn much!" I kissed him.
"Oh, I thought you loved me because of my good looks and my fantastic jokes?" he smirked at me and I laughed.
"You? Good looking? Come on, brown hair and brown eyes aren't that special to be honest." I laughed and he looked at me, a fake shocked expression on his face.
"And your jokes are pretty bad as well." I teased him and kissed his cheek.
"Oh, is that so? Well I think I just changed my mind, I don't think you can stay here tonight, I'm sorry." Shawn stood up and started walking into the direction of the front door.
"Babe come back, you know I didn't mean that!" I chuckled and I knew that he had a smile on his face even though he stood with his back towards me. I stood up and walked over to him, sneaking my arms around his waist from behind, my chin laying on his back.
"You love me way too much to kick me out." I whispered and he quickly turned around to kiss me.
"You're right. I really love you too much to do that." I smiled and just stared at him for a few seconds, admiring him.
"You know, you don't even look that bad. You look pretty hot to be honest. Especially with that shirt on. You know how much I love it when you're wearing red." I mumbled and he chuckled, grinning down at me.
"It's late already, I think we should head to bed." He whispered, breaking the silence again and I nodded slowly. He quickly lifted me up so I wrapped my arms and legs around him as he carried me into his bedroom. We quickly changed and I just threw on Shawn's shirt he was wearing before we crawled under the sheets together. I sighed happily as I cuddled into my boyfriend's safe arms and closed my eyes, not caring about my parents probably wondering where I was.
"I love you, Shawn!" I whispered and placed a sweet kiss onto his neck.
"I love you more! Goodnight princess." Was the last thing I heard before I was asleep.
