Complicated

Chapter 47

Shawn's POV:
I gaze over to Maggie who is looking at my hand which is on her thigh slightly smiling. Should I ask her about this boy? Damian.

I have to think about it all the time. Why wasn't I supposed to know about him? Is she hiding something from me? God I'm overreacting. Right? It's probably nothing.

"So..." I ask sighing. I just have to know. Maggie looks over to me frowning. "So?" "Are you gonna tell me now? You know about that guy Damian." I ask. She says nothing for a while making me even more worried. "Shawn... it's nothing important really." she mumbles and looks out of the car window.

Is she hiding something? "Well, it doesn't seem like nothing." I say. "Shawn..." she sighs. "Why won't you tell me? You promised." I question her. "I already told you... it's not important." she sighs and rubs her nose.

"You are lying. What are you hiding from me?" I ask a bit annoyed. I know when she's lying about something. "God Shawn I'm not lying! It's just that I don't want to talk about it!" she calls out and runs a hand though her hair frustrated.

"Why? Don't you trust me?" I ask sighing. "Yes I do trust you Shawn but why is it so important for you to know?" she asks rolling her eyes. I open my mouth but no words come out.

I don't really know why. I just thought we would tell each other everything. "Forget it." I whisper, staring onto the road. Non of us says something for the rest of the car ride. I stop in front of her house and she opens the door. "See you and thanks for the drive." she says and walks to her house.

"Maggie wait!" I shout and run after her. "Look I'm sorry. I don't want to fight with you again. It's okey if you don't want to talk about it. I trust you." I say and take her hands in mine. She smiles slightly and gives me a kiss. Before she could pull away, I grab her waist and pull her closer.

She smiles into the kiss and cups my cheeks. "I love you." she whispers and kisses my nose. "I love you too princess." I chuckle and watch her walking to the front door. I wait till the she enters her house while checking my phone. I got a new message from Luc.

Luc: Shawn! Why the hell did I just hear from Jackson that you and Maggie are a couple and not from you?
I chuckle. Maggie told him?
You: Sorry dude! I wanted to tell you at the practice. See you soon!

Maggie's POV:
I walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. What's that? There are some bags with clothes and other stuff in it. "Maggie Cooper!" my aunt suddenly shouts from behind me. Turning around I look at her smiling sweetly.

Oh god she's mad. "You finally decided to come home?" she asks putting her hands on her hips. "Um yeah... I-" "You know what I don't even want to hear it. I just thought you would be thoughtful enough to at least tell me where you were staying." she interrupts me shaking her head.

"Look I'm sorry but I completely forgot and I stayed with Shawn." I say. "You know that I'm just worried about you?" she asks sighing. I nod looking down. "I have to tell you something. I'm going to go back to England soon.

Actually I'm going to leave tomorrow morning. My husband got into hospital because of an accident and I have to be there with him." my aunt explains taking my hand. What?

She's going to leave? That means me and Melly are going to be alone with Aron again.
I could feel the panic rising up in me.

"Are you and Melody going to be okey here? You know that you two are always welcome. You can stay with me in England of course and go to school there till your mom comes home again." My aunt says smiling. Yeah... if she's ever going to come home again.

"Umm... I'll think about it." I mumble. "Maggie? Is everything okey? You know that you can talk to me." My aunt says frowning. "Yeah everything's fine. I'm just a bit sad that you're leaving." My aunt smiles, walking over to me to give me a hug. "Don't worry sweetheart. I can always visit you two." she says and taps my nose making me smile.

"So... you were with Shawn yesterday huh?" she asks wiggling her eyebrows. I groan and walk up into my room quickly. I don't want to hear stories about how bad boys can be and that I have to be careful now.

I hear laughing from downstairs as I close my door. I go into the bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror, I look at myself. When aunt Ellie wasn't there I had always bruises grazing my face and body.

Almost everyday a new one. What am I gonna do? Suddenly I hear the door open which makes me jump. "I heard your aunt is going to leave tomorrow. Too bad, isn't it?" Aron chuckles. He leans against the doorframe watching me through the mirror.

"Don't do anything you are going to regret Maggie and you are grounded  for the next week. Your mom would have killed me if something happened to you." he snaps warningly and leaves my room again.

I gulp grabbing the sink so tight that my knuckles turn white. I start to breath heavily. Calm down Maggie. I try to breath normal again but I can't.

I stumble back hitting the glass wall of the shower with my back. My breath gets quicker and quicker. I remember the night when Aron was extremely drunk. These were the scariest minutes of my life.

I really thought that I'm not going experience the next day again. I stumble into my room to get my phone. With shaking hands I try to search Shawn's contact.

I finally find it and call him. I need to tell him before it's too late. Is he going to believe me? What if not? Maybe he thinks that I just want attention. Before I could hang up again I hear his sweet voice through the phone.

"Hey princess. Already missing me?" he asks and I could literally see the grin on his face. My breath slowly gets normal again. His voice just calms me down. "Maggie? Everything okey?" he asks. "Y-yeah...." I mumble.
