My back slammed against the hard wall and I winced in pain. I struggled, trying to pull my wrists away from his harsh grip.

"P- please" I stuttered, my voice breaking. He pinned me to the wall and brought his lips to my ear. "Don't you ever fucking disobey me again. Understand bitch?" He questioned, his alcohol filled breath grazing my neck. I nodded, the lump in my throat not allowing me to speak. "USE YOUR WORDS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" He yelled, wrapping his hand around my neck. "I... understand" I managed to speak out. He threw me to the floor as I cried. With one last look at me, he left the house, slamming the door behind him.

I brought my knees to my chest and cried. I cried and cried until I physically couldn't anymore.

It was now 3:15am. Without thought, I raced to the front door, taking my car keys along with me. I started the ignition of the car and sped towards the only place I could think to go. The only place I felt genuinely safe.

Shawn Mendes's House

...

I rapidly knocked on the door with my fist. A few seconds later, Shawn opened the door. His hair was messy and he was dressed in just grey sweatpants that he wore just below the hip. As soon as he saw my red and puffy face he pulled me into a long and needed hug.

...

I sat down beside him. No words left my mouth, but we were talking with our silence.

"He did it again didn't he?" Shawn asked, a mix of anger and sympathy in his voice. I just looked at him and Shawn already knew the answer. He got up and started walking to the door, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes filled with determination. "Shawn" I managed to speak out. He turned his head towards me, and as soon as his eyes landed on my face his eyebrows relaxed. "Don't... please" I begged.

With a sigh, Shawn walked back over to the bed and kneeled in front of me. "I don't get why you are still with him y/n !" His sudden tone startled me. He realised this and lowered his voice. "Look, he keeps hurting you... yet you keep letting him. You keep going back."

Just like that, I broke down. Tears fell from my eyes and I didn't even attempt to wipe them. I just let them run down my face and fall to the ground. Shawn placed his big hand on top of mine. I found solace in his actions and calmed down. My breathing slowed and my heat rate went back to normal. Shawn brought his thumbs to my cheeks and wiped the remaining tears.

"Please don't cry. You have to be strong. You need to break up with him."
I shot my head up and looked at him. "I can't break up with him..." I muttered. "What? Why not?" Shawn asked confused. "He will hurt me" I replied.
Shawn took a deep breath. "Y/n, I promise you... I will not let him hurt you again." He assured.

"Shawn? Why are you so good to me?" I questioned. Shawn smiled before looking at the ground. "Because..." he trailed off.
"Because what?" I asked, curious.
"Because... Because love you! I know, I know I can't love you... you have a boyfriend. A really shitty boyfriend. But I can treat you better! I can-"

I cut him off by gently placing my lips on his. After a few seconds I pulled back and looked at him. First a confused look was plastered on his face, but then his eyes lit up and a smile grew on his lips. he leaned back in and kissed my lips again. "I love you y/n, and I always have" he told me.
"I- I love you too shawn"

"I promise I will treat you better. Better than he can"
