Please don't fall (Shawmila)

Camila's POV
It was now 3 days after my surgery. I still couldn't talk and always felt immense pain in my throat and stomach. Shawn had visited me every day and our kisses got more frequent. I liked it a lot. I like him a lot. Today was the day of my release. Finally. The tour was almost done and I wouldn't be joining anymore. They were already in a different state but I didn't mind. Considering that I never really felt comfortable these last months and I had Shawn here with me. Shawn and my mom were with me in my room, waiting for the nurse to bring me my release papers. I still hadn't told my mom about my feelings towards Shawn but I think she could already tell that something was going on between us.

When I finally signed all the paper and got all my antibiotics, pills and a contact for a therapist.... I was finally allowed to leave. We drove to the hotel and luckily my mom allowed me and Shawn to stay in a room. I really wanted to tell my mom what there was between us but I just couldn't talk.

The drive was silent apart from the light talk between our driver and my mom. Shawn sat in the back with me, holding my hand. Both my arms had stitches and Shawn carefully caressed my clothed arm. I knew he could feel the stitches and I felt him getting sad because of it. So I leaned my head on his chest and taking his hand in my other to assure him that it would be ok again.

When the taxi stopped in front of our hotel, we made sure that all the security guards were there too. I wasn't looking too god and definitely didn't want any pictures from me in the internet. That would only cause mor hate and I don't think I could handle that. So they were all around the car and made sure that no one would be able to take any pictures of us. My mom walked in before us and we followed, Shawn never let go of my hand. Our suitcases were already up in our rooms so all we had to do was enter the elevator and enter our room, which was huge for two people. My mom had a similar room but alone. My mom had booked a room with only one double bed. But we didn't mind and my mom knew I still needed comfort from someone I trusted. It was around 2 pm when we got to our rooms and we were supposed to eat in a few minutes. My mom would come over. Unfortunately due to me being underweight the doctors said that my weight had to be observed so they gave my mom a table with calories I needed to eat at different times of the day. Of course I wasn't happy but I couldn't do anything. They also had to gave me medicine to sleep but not sleeping pills since  that was the cause why I landed in the hospital. So the had to five me different pills which weren't as dangerous for me. But I should only take them when in was necessary. Maybe sleeping next to Shawn would make me able to sleep without the pills. And of course I got a lot of other medicine for the pains and the healing of my throat and stomach. The first few days I should only eat mashed foods so my mom entered our room with a plate of mashed potatoes, some vegetables which were pretty soft and a glass of water since I needed to keep myself hydrated. My mom and Shawn had ordered their own food as room service which had already arrived. We sat together on the cozy balcony and ate, my mom tracking what I ate. It was quiet but I really wanted to tell my mom what was going on with Shawn and I, even though we hadn't really discussed it ourselves. But we knew that something was there in between us. This was our opportunity. So I gave Shawn a small kick under the table which made him look at me with a questioning look. I took out my phone, typed in a message and showed it to him. He nodded and cleared his throat.

"Sinu?" he asked carefully. She looked up, still chewing on her food. He tried to act really confident but I could see right through it. He was really anxious again. "You know I really like Camila right?" My mom nodded. "I know that Shawn. I see it. I see how much you care about her and I'm really grateful that you are there for her. I couldn't imagine someone other as her best friend than you." She spoke honestly.m which made us both smile. "Okay, well.... there.... well something has been going on between us... we really like each other." He spoke softly. My mom gasped, putting her hands in front of her mouth. "Like.... like as girlfriend?" She asked surprised. Shawn shrugged. "Well... we're not that... at least not officially. But yeah... I think like that." He said, looking at me and I replied with a nod. "I'm really happy for you. I always knew that this would come eventually. Shawn. I couldn't imagine someone other than you with her." She had joy in her voice and took Shawns hand in hers while she spoke. I knew I didn't need to be scared of her reaction. She always really liked Shawn but it still gave me some kind of relieve knowing that we could be affectionate around her. With that Shawn gave me a quick peck on my lips and we continued to eat quietly and I felt happier than I had the past months.
