Cherry's POV
It's been 2 months since the drinking incident and Shawn has been really careful with me and he hasn't been as protective as he usually is of me. I know I've gotten weirded out by how protective he is, and how tight he holds me. But, if I'm being completely honest, I miss it, I miss being protected by him. If you think about it, he's just distant. We were at his apartment and I was sitting on the couch. He sat by me, but like, 6 inches away from me. I scoot a little bit closer to him and he kind of tensed, but relaxed. I leaned my head on his shoulder, and he immediately got up.
Shawn's POV
Ever since the drinking incident 2 months ago, I've been hanging out with Cherry, but not really getting super close. Even though I'm sober, im still scared I'm gonna hurt her, and I really don't want to. We were hanging out at my apartment one weekend. She was sitting on the couch watching movies, I could feel her glancing over at me every once in a while. I have been getting an upset vibe from her lately, but I don't wanna ask. I sat a few inches away from her on the couch. She scoot closer to me, and for some reason I just tensed. And when I tensed, she did. I eventually relaxed and she leaned her head on my shoulder. I got up and stood behind the couch. She got up and threw a pillow at me. "What's your problem Cherry?" I asked. "What's YOUR problem SHAWN?!" She shouted back at me. "You're the one actin distant and tensing up every time I try to get close to you! You're the one who's not holding me, protecting me, being defensive of me like you used to! Whatever crawled up your butt and died, git it out! Because I don't what that damn thing did to my boyfriend, but I want him back!" She shouted. So that's what was wrong, me.
Cherry's POV
When I was done shouting at him, I went and sat at his window. I buried my face in my hands and tried not to cry. I felt him standing behind me. He sat down and he pulled me close. "Cherry- I am so sorry. I just, after what happened. Im just trying to protect you. I don't want to hurt you again. I can't." Shawn said, his voice beginning to break. "Shawn, don't you realize that you're hurting me by protecting me this way? I like it when you protect me, but not like this. I don't like that you're super distant, and that all I've gotten the past 2 months are hugs and a cheek kiss once a week." I said, facing him. "I'm sorry, shorty, can I make up for it now?" He asked, bringing back the nickname. "Yeah, you can." I smiled. He started kissing me all over my face and hugging me. Then he started tickling me and I was laughing a lot. "I'm glad you two are going back to normal." Jack said coming out of the hallway. "Me too." I said and Shawn grabbed my face. He looked in my eyes softly, and then started tickling me again.
