Love Me

|Chapter 20|

Narrator

"What are we doing?" Shawn asked, exasperated. He paced the room back and forth, his hand running through his hair.

"W-what do you-" Natalie stuttered.

"I mean the constant back and forth, Nat." Shawn spoke up louder.

"I mean one moment you're all over me, and the next you distance yourself so much." He explained.

"I mean, do you even have the slightest bit of feelings for me? I need to know if our feelings are mutual Nat, before I get too involved into this mess." Shawn ranted. "I love you, Nat." He sighed.

Natalie's heart stopped and she stared at Shawn's pleading face with her eyes wide open. Her breath hitched and she failed to utter a word.

"Shawn— Shawn I care for you .. I-" She started to speak, her voice breaking.

"Oh okay, I get it." Shawn laughed sadly.

"Do I even mean anything to you Nat? Be honest." He spoke, tears in his eyes.

"You do. You do Shawn. But I-"  Nat answered, scared for what was going happen next.

"There's always a but." Shawn forced out a laugh.

"I tried. I tried so fucking hard with you Nat. I tried to love you and for a second there you had me fooled. I thought after all this time maybe you would atleast have some feelings for me. But no. You care for me only." Shawn mocked.

"I was such a fool." Shawn muttered to himself.

"Leave." He sighed.

"W-what?"  Natalie gasped.

"Leave my house Natalie. You're free to go. You can get out of this prison.. or whatever you might call it in your mind." Shawn muttered angrily.

"Shawn I'm not gonna leave you." Nat responded.

"Yes you are. I'm giving a get out of jail free card Nat." Shawn gritted his teeth. "So get out!" He shouted.

I shivered in fear and walked to the front door. I looked back at shawn to see him sitting the sofa, his back to me, his shoulders and entire body shaking.

Then I left.
