Whenever You're Ready (S.M & A.C)

A New Guy?

Shawn p.o.v

The next day, I woke up to see Alessia still resting right beside me. She looked really cute and so beautiful while she was sleeping. I started to smile as I was admiring her face. Her phone was buzzing so I checked what the notifications were. It said that it was a text from Brian. I was wondering why she would have Brian on her contacts and why she was even talking to him. I decided to open her messages to see what was going on. I was seeing lots of things going on and I wasn't happy. There was some flirty messages too. 

As I was in the middle looking through their messages, I was so focused that Alessia woke up without me even realizing it. 

Alessia: "Shawn? What are you doing with my phone?"

Shawn: "Who's Brian?"

Alessia: "Why were you looking through my phone?"

Shawn: "You didn't answer my question."

Alessia: "You didn't answer mine either."

Shawn: "That's why I was looking through your phone, I saw messages of you texting Brian. Who is Brian?"

She frowned.

Alessia: "That's none of your business."

Shawn: "So this was who you were talking to all along yesterday? No wonder why you were so distracted. I saw some messages of you two even flirting."

Alessia: "Why would you even care?"

Shawn: "Why would I care? Because we're married. You shouldn't have connection with him anyways."

Alessia: (sighs) "Look, Shawn. When me and you were taking a break and when I was upset with you, I started talking with Brian lately."

I was already mad and upset.

Shawn: "So you decided to replace me with Brian all because of the break?!"

Alessia: "I'm sorry, okay? I was really, really, depressed and ended up doing things that I wasn't suppose to."

Shawn: "WHY WOULD you do this to me? After everything we've been through, you went ahead and did this?"

Alessia: "Well, it's not my fault that you slapped me."

Shawn: "OH MY GOD, I TOLD YOU I WAS SORRY."

Alessia: "I know, but that's not enough. I don't trust you enough for me to come home and start over. I did some stupid things over this break of us and I regret it. When I'm upset, I lose control of my thinking!"

Shawn: "SO IT MAKES YOU REPLACE ME?"

Alessia: "I-I haven't replaced you...."

Shawn: "Really? Because it seems a lot like it..."

I got down from the bed and started heading out. 

Alessia: "Shawn, wait......don't go....."

Shawn: "Why not? Why can't I go Alessia?"

Alessia: "Because I-I still love you..."

I could tell that she was gonna cry cause her voice was cracked and she was stuttering. Here I was again, making her cry. I didn't like to see her cry but what she did was wrong. I kept thinking about what she said. When she said she still loved me, I felt relieved deep down but I was still disappointed. As much as I still loved her, I just couldn't say it back. I was upset with her now but I did still loved her too. I started to cry too.

Shawn: "R-really? Are you sure? Because it doesn't seem like you do anymore, I came all the way back here just to get you back. My heart still beats for you, Alessia. Even when I'm upset with you, I could never stop loving you. You mean so much to me, Alessia. You don't even understand...."

I started walking away again.

Alessia: "S-shawn, please....I-I can't live like this anymore, I'm tired of being by myself....it's not fair..."

Shawn: "Then figure out who you want....Is it gonna be me and you, or is it going to be you and Brian? Cause I don't know anymore...."

I started walking away without turning back heading home. Alessia got down on her knees as she went down on the floor as she continued to cry.

Alessia: (whispers as she's crying) "I-I still love you...."

Her parents saw me heading home and didn't stop or paid attention to them. Her mom rushed to Alessia's side.

Alessia's mom: "Alessia, what happened?"

Alessia was speechless and was really upset to explain what she did wrong. She was crying relentlessly. 

Alessia's mom: "Talk to me..."

Alessia tried to calm down as she was crying.

Alessia: "I-I made a mistake...."

Alessia's parents closed the door for Alessia to discuss with them.

I arrived back home and didn't say any words to my parents and just headed straight to my room. I've made a mistake meeting Alessia. I still loved her and all she did was to talk to a guy? This mistake was way too much for me to handle. My heart was still beating for Alessia a lot but I didn't know if I was going to forgive her. I just want things to go back to normal, because Alessia was everything to me and she still had a place in my heart. She just needed to figure out what she wanted.
