Scared... (Shawn Mendes)

Chapter 34: Forest

Haley's POV

My eyes quickly peeled open, at the same time I jolted up.
"Shawn!" I screamed, a hand was laid on my shoulder, I whipped my head to see Cameron with a worried look.

"Shawn" I gasped looking around.
He just gulped and looked over at Nash.
I realized I was under a table, Nash was helping people that were knocked out.
"What the hell happened?" I questioned crawling out from under the table.

Cameron helped up and sent me a sad look.

I pushed him out of the way, why doesn't anyone answer?

I ran out of the building and scrambled around the edge of the sidewalk.
Once a car sped past me I sprinted across the highway and landed in front of a fence blocking off a forest.

I looked into the deep dark forest.

My curiousity got the best of me and I found myself hopping over the bar wire.
I ran over twig, mud puddles and god knows what else till I was far from Magcon.

I heard rustling and seen a small brown rabbit, it hopped into a bush which cleared a thin path, I pushed the leaves away and came out to a opening in the middle of the forest.

The rabbit hopped on a very large, rock? When it landed the "Rock" slightly flinched.
I walked up slowly to it.

A non-breathing body lay at my feet.

There hair was covered in dirt and lay on there forehead, there cheeks were the color of cherries. Shawn?

My knees buckled quickly which sent me beside him, I quickly brushed the mud and leaves off of him, my heavy breathing and light sniffles was all that could be heard.
"Don't be dead, don't be dead" I repeated.

Shawn's eyes were lightly closed, I put my ear up to his chest.

Nothing.

"Shawn..." I whispered now letting the waterworks fall.
I grabbed the collar of his shirt wgich brought his face up to mine, I studied his features before lightly tapping his cheek.
Then harder.

Then much harder, now I was slapping him like a madman.

My only skill when it comes to saving a life.

He still lay there, practically dead. I dropped my head and cried, I didn't know how long till I heard rustling.

I looked up to see a very tired Matt. He looked down at me, his eyes glistened.
"Haley you gotta-" He started but took a breath. "Come back" I shook my head and looked back down at the still body.

Suddenly Shawn sprung up and started coughing like a maniac.

I screamed, along with Matt who jumped back.

"Shawn, holy shit" Matt gasped stumbling into a tree.
Shawn was breathing heavily, I stared at him with wide eyes.

His arms suddenly wrapped around my neck and pulled me in. Shawns soft sniffles were all I could hear.

"Shh" I whispered in his ear patting his back lightly.
He struggled to get words out but just continued to sob.
He hugged me tighter.

"Haley" He whimpered.

"Yeah?" I questioned running my hands through his hair.
"I-I seen things" He gasped.
"I know" I whispered, the sound of his voice made me want to cry.

His head snuggled into my neck, he sighed a shaking breath.

I pulled back and stared deep into his bloodshot eyes.
"Its okay" I whispered, he quickly nodded, sniffling.

Matt stood beside a tree awkwardly kicking a stone.
"Okay, we have to go now" I mumbled. He looked at me for a moment before quickly nodding again.

My head turned to Matt, his eyes darted from us.

I turned back to be met by Shawns lips.
"Oh" I mumbled he pulled away, watery eyed.
"Sorry" He looked down at his shaking hands.
"Its fine, lets go" I whispered lifting his head up and lightly kissing his lips.

He stumbled up with me. Matt pupped out his phone once he noticed us and dialed a number.

He hung up.

"They're waiting outside the building" He told us before making his way out of the woods.

Shawn stumbled behind me, our fingers lightly intertwined. I looked and noticed blood on his shirt.

"Shawn wait" I stopped him and kneeled down.
"Haley" He coughed. I lifted up his shirt.

A big cut sliced down his stomach.

Just like the one at the hospital..

"We gotta get you to a hospital" I mumbled before standing back up.
"What?" He questioned, I grabbed his hand and pulled him through the forest.

"Haley, I can't go on" He gasped bending over once we reached the fence.
"We're here, you're gonna be fine" I whispered.

Matt was already across the road talking to the guys.

"OVER HERE!" I shouted, they all quickly spung there heads towards us before running over through the traffic.
I prayed they wouldn't get hit by a car.

Cameron got over the fence first and kneeled down to face a bent Shawn.
"Buddy its gonna be okay" He whispered to him before helping him stand up straight.

They all helped him. Cameron and nash threw his arms around there shoulders to hold him up.

"I call the hospital" Matt told us.

Shawn started coughing again, his eyes slowly began to close.
I placed my hand on his shoulder.

His head dropped.

"You're going to live' I told him before he dozed off.

Hes going to live.
