Personal Body Guard - (Shawn Mendes)

97

"But I know some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can fight my fear"

*Emily's Point Of View*

"I'm okay, I swear" I said as Shawn held onto my arms securely so I wouldn't fall.

I had been in this same hospital room. This same hospital bed for the past two weeks and I was so glad that Shawn didn't leave my side for one second.

I mean of course I forced him to leave when I could see his skin and hair beginning to oil up from the lack of bathing. I also could tell that those hospital chairs where completely uncomfortable to be sitting in for long periods of time.

Today was the day I would finally get to be in my own house. My own room. I would finally be able to eat normal food and not this cold mashed potato with pills 'slipped' into them that tasted disgusting.

My bruising had gone down slightly but it was really bad last week, my skin being a blackish purple colour. Today it being on the moor purplish yellow colour.

"C'mon darl, just place your feet on the ground and take a big leap" Shawn said holding onto my hands.

I let out a sigh as I used all my might to push myself off my bed, successfully getting myself up only to let out a small squeal as I felt my legs give way beneath me.

"I got you" Shawn whispered softly grasping a hold of my hips.

"Thanks" I muttered letting out a puff of air to blow my hair out of my face.

He slowly walked me to the wheel chair, my muscles relaxing as soon as I took a seat.

This was extremely frustrating. I hated that I couldn't do anything for myself. I hated that I couldn't walk or eat by myself. I hate that I needed assistance in every little thing I do.

I didn't mean to get annoyed at Shawn but I just felt weak and defeated.

Jake had won.

I felt a pair of lips press against my forehead softly making my eyes fall shut as I let out a happy hum.

I glanced up to see Shawn smiling down at me. I knew he could feel I was frustrated at this whole learning situation yet he still gave me all the love and affection we'd both desperately needed being apart.

"Mr Mendes, I'll just get you to sign these documents here" my nurse said handing Shawn a clipboard and a pen.

He flicked a few pages, scribbling his signature down on most of them before handing it back to the nurse.

"I'll just go grab Miss Rose's medication and then you can head off" she said shooting us both a comforting smile before exiting the room.

I let out a huff, leaning back against my wheel chair, letting my elbow rest along the arm of it as my face rested in it.

I heard Shawn sigh sadly as he walked in front of me, bending down so we were face-to-face.

"Em... I know this is extremely frustrating for you having to rely on someone all the time but I'm here for you. No matter what okay?" He whispered giving my hand a comforting squeeze and a smile making me nod and squeeze his hand back.
