Save Me (Shawn Mendes)

Ch. 10

Shawn's POV

After the kiss, Brianna and I kind of just sat there for a while holding hands. She stopped crying and just stared at me.

Then, I decided to break the silence and say, "I love you."
"Why? I'm not special, I'm not beautiful, I'm not funny, I'm a nothing. Why do people say they love me when they don't?" She said and looked up at me.

"I love you because you are special, and funny, and beautiful. Not everybody is like Matt, he was just a tool who played you. No girl should ever be treated like that. You are all queens and deserve to be treated like ones. Especially you." I said to her.

She looked at me and smiled.

"But, I'm not," she said.

"I can change that," I said standing up.

"What do you mean?" she said staring at me.

I reached out my hand and she grabbed it.

" I mean, I'm going to show you what kind of treatment queens get," I said to her.

Brianna's POV

Shawn walked me to his truck and took me to his house.

He told me to sit on his couch and told me that he would be back in a few minutes.

When he left, I tried to distract myself to get my mind off Matt.

Then, I heard talking coming from the kitchen.

"Mom, I have to. I'm afraid that if I don't she'll start... you know...cutting again," Shawn said.

I looked down at my wrists and saw the scars. I felt tears coming.

"But Shawn your not going to get that pet you wanted if you keep doing this," his mom said.

"Mom, I promise I will finish the chores by tomorrow night. And I told her that I would take her places to make her feel like a princess, do you have any suggestions?" Shawn asked his mother.

I stopped listening. I blinked the tears forming in my eyes away because I knew that the conversation was almost over, and I waited.

It was a good ten minutes until Shawn came out of the kitchen.

"Sorry. That was a lot more than a few minutes. I just really needed to tell my mom something," Shawn said,walking over to me.

"It's okay," I said.

Shawn put his arm around me and we walked out of his house and he drove me to my favorite place on earth.

It was the house that I moved out of when I was five.

It was a 45 minute drive from Shawn's house, and the whole time, I just sat there, holding Shawn's hand.

The house never got sold, so nobody lived in it.

It was still in good shape though, because, my family got to keep the keys and every year we cleaned it just in case it would ever be sold.

Shawn had one of the keys too.
He unlocked the door and, we walked in.

The living room furniture and everything was still in the exact spot it was when I was five.

We walked to my old room and I sat down on the small bed. I smiled and ran my hand across it.

Then, we walked to my big brother's old room.

My brother, Jaxson, is in the Army now and I never see him.
I really miss him.

I went over and sat on his bed and started to cry.

"Brianna, why are you crying?" Shawn asked me.
