The Badass Shawn Mendes

Chapter 40: pick up your head princess

Shawn POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I wake up to my alarm and turn it off because alarms are annoying. i look over to my left and see caitlin still asleep.

i shake her arm lightly, "wake up, we have school."

she groans, "i don't wanna."

"but we have to.."

"no" she pouts and grabs my arm, holding on.

an idea pops into my head...

i pick her up over my shoulder and start to take her to her room so she can get dressed.

"shawn put me down" she says sleepily, like she doesn't even care at this point.

i place her down on her bed, "if you get ready to go in less than 10 minutes i'll make you pancakes."

her face lights up.

"really?" she asked excitedly and i just nod.

she quickly goes to find clothes to wear for our second day back at hell- i mean school.

i had gotten dressed and brushed my teeth so i decided to start making her pancakes.

a few seconds later she comes down the stairs ready to go.

"now if you could do that every morning that would be great." i tell her, placing her food down at the table. she just rolls her eyes and starts eating.

~skip to school bc i'm lazy~

walking into school, we got weird scares again but i don't mind. Caitlin sure does though.

i quickly grab her hand, hoping to reassure her. she sighs instead.

i walk her to her locker and i tell her i'm going to get some things from my locker and we'll meet up at first period.

walking up to my locker i see someone standing next to it but i just shake it off.

but as i got closer, i could tell who it was. Jake. Caitlin's brother. Well i guess not really, she isn't related to him at all.

i open my locker, ignoring him, until he speaks.

"i'll come for her, you know?"

i didn't answer.

he sighs, "she doesn't need to be around you right now."

i shut my locker and look him dead in the eyes, "she sure as hell doesn't need to be around you at all. and who says she'll want to go back anyways? it's her choice, not yours." i try to walk away but he grabs the back of my backpack and pulls me back.

"you think you scare me, Mendes?" he whispers so no one can hear him but me.

"well i'm sure you didn't necessarily have the balls to actually come sit at my locker to wait for me." i turn and face him, "i know you're scared of me, because everyone is. the way everyone looks at me, i know they're scared. so why wouldn't you be?"

"because i know your soft side, and it's my sister."

"she isn't her sister.." i sigh.

"maybe not by blood, but she was adopted legally so technically she is." he smirked.

it took everything in my body not to punch that smug look off his face.

so i shoved him against the lockers, gripping his shirt into my hands.

"if you go anywhere near her, i will-"

"you'll what?" he snickered.

i was about to go off on him until i felt a tiny hand on my shoulder.

i turn around, not taking my guard down, to see Caitlin looking up at me.

"take your hands off him, Shawn."

i do what she says.

"you know what jake? i'm glad you told me i was adopted because now i don't have to live with you, you dick." she spat and slapped him in the face.

"go near Shawn again, i'll do worse than that, and you know it." she snapped and walked away, grabbing my hand in the process.

walking down the hall and around the corner she slows down and eventually stops..

she starts quietly crying.

i don't even ask what's wrong, i just hug her.

hold her close..

rubbing her back with my hands and with my head resting on hers, trying to calm her down a little.

her sobs become quiet.. i lift her head up with my hand cupping her cheek, i tell her,

"pick up your head princess, your crown is falling"
