Love Me

|Chapter 24|

Natalie Pierce Mendes

"Hello?" I spoke and my voice echoed into the large house.

I was here. At Shawn's house. What used to be our house. And technically still was since we were still legally married.

I wanted to tell shawn. I needed to tell him my feelings before the unthinkable could happen.

The house felt empty. Lamps that used to stand beside the couches weren't there anymore. Picture frames of Shawn and I were gone. There we're two large holes in the wall.

Before tears could resurface, I walked into Shawn's bedroom, finding him situated at the edge of the bed facing the window. He was tense.

"Shawn." I whispered, putting my hand on his shoulder.

He leapt up from the bed and turned around, his eyes widening once he spotted me.

"What're you doing here?" He spoke as his eyes turned icy. "How'd you get inside?"

"I needed to see you." I whispered, pulling my arm back to my side.

"Well you saw me." He muttered. "Now leave."

"But sh-" I started but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out the door.

He dragged me down the stairs, past the living room and the kitchen with me trying to get his hold off of my wrist.

He pushed me out the front door and was about to close the door before I pushed back and entered once again.

"Get. out." He gritted his teeth.

"Shawn what are you doing?" I asked him, years escaping my eyes again.

He held me by the my arms tightly.

"To be loved. Was all I asked for from you. Why couldn't you give that to me?!" He shouted loudly, shaking me by the arms.

"All those times I kissed you, you kissed back. Why? When you never felt anything towards me? Why?!" He shouted again, his grip getting tighter.

"Shawn-" my voice broke as my arms started to feel numb from his tightening grip.

"Shawn I do love you." I spoke. Shawns eyes softened, his hold me on slackened.

"I- I just realised it later." I sniffled, smiling up at him.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened again and he grabbed my arm again.

"I'm not going to fall for that lie." He spat before shoving me out the door and shutting it in my face.

"Shawn. Shawn!" I shouted for him, banging in the door loudly.

I turned around leaning against the door, and slid down, sitting on the ground.

"I'm not lying. I love you." I sniffled into my hands.
