“True love stories never have endings.”
-Unknown
Camila POV
I opened the door and saw Shawn sitting on the bed with the back at me. All I wanted to do was run to him and hug, touch and kiss him, but I knew he was mad at something I did and that's why I couldn't do that. I didn't even know what that something was. I had no clue what happened.
,,You don't know what happened?" He asked and hearing his voice was like a plaster for one of the hundred bruises on my heart.
,,I don't remember....but I didn't drink.... I only drank half of that wine glass or that's at least the last thing I remember...." I said hearing my voice break after literally every word that came out of my mouth.
,,Should I tell you what you did?" He asked me and turned around to look at me.
I looked him in the eyes and saw pain. All I saw was a person who was hurting. I could see his heart breaking through his eyes and that made everything worse than it already was for me.
,,What did I do?" I asked.
*Throwback to last night*
Shawn POV
,,So what did you do with all that money?" One of the men there asked some other men while I was just standing there awkwardly looking for Camila so we could fake our emergency and leave.
I looked around and spotted her walking out of the room with Josh, so I decided to just go after her.
,,Excuse me." I said and then left after Camila.
When I walked out the main room, I felt a little lost and didn't know where they went. I just walked in one of the rooms and there was no one in there.
I checked every room there until I got at the kitchen and when I opened the door to the kitchen, it was like my heart was ripped out of my chest.
I saw Camila on the kitchen counter kissing Josh or better said making out with Josh.
*Throwback ends*
,,No. I would never do that. NEVER!" I said not wanting to believe that I could do something like that.
,,That's what I thought too until yesterday. I guess we learn something new about each other every day." He said and I just shook my head as a no.
,,No, Shawn. I would never. I'd better die then do something like that to YOU. I love you..." I said and I saw some tears appearing in his eyes so I tested my luck and walked to him to wipe his tears away.
For my surprise, he let me do it, but didn't look me in the eyes.
,,Shawn, I don't know what happened yesterday, but who you saw, it wasn't me. Mary thinks someone put something in my drink and that's why.... But you have to believe me when I say that I'd never do that to you. I don't wanna believe that I did that to you." I said feeling like a cascade of tears.
He placed his hands on my cheeks and wiped my tears away with his thumbs. He let one hand on my cheek and with the other he took my hand in his. He looked down at my hand and started playing with my ring.
My eyes widen and I started shaking from fear. Was he thinking about breaking up? No! No, we can't break up. Not when everything was perfect and I finally felt like I had my own little family.
,,No. Please no..." I said and he looked up at me before he brought my hand to his lips and kissed my ring. He rested his forehead against the back of my hand and I was just shaking like crazy.
,,I love you and could never leave you... And for sure not for something you had no control over." He said and then looked up to look me in the eyes. ,,It wasn't you and the thought of someone doing that to you makes me sick. I don't wanna know what it would've happened if I didn't walk in..." He said and wiped more tears away.
Hearing his words was like I came back to the surface after hours of drowning. It was like he sticked my heart back together after it broke into millions of pieces.
,,You don't hate me?" I asked and one more tear fell down my cheek.
,,I could never hate you! I should have known that something was off, but I didn't. I'm sorry for not getting it earlier." He said and stroke my cheek with his thumb.
I threw myself in his arms and let myself sink in his embrace. He stroke the back of my head and my back lightly and I played with his hair while I had my arms around his neck.
,,I'm sorry..." I said against his neck.
,,Don't be. You had no fault in all this. None of us had. The only person that had was the one who put something in your drink." Shawn said and broke the hug to look at me.
I nodded and he pulled me in for a kiss that was like a resuscitation. I kissed him like my life depended on that kiss and he did just the same.
After we broke the kiss,I rested my forehead against his for a few seconds and then got in his lap to give him the biggest koala hug ever. I held him as tight as I could, thinking that if I let go then he would disappear.
We just stayed there for a while, but the feeling of guilt of what I apparently did grew inside me and was killing me. I would never do something like that not to Shawn and not to anyone else. I would never cheat on someone. And the thought that I cheated on him unconsciously was just killing me.
What the fuck was in that drink to make me do that!?
,,I'm sorry..." I said again.
Shawn let out a breath and then broke the hug to look me in the eyes. He placed both of his hands on my cheeks and stroke them lightly.
,,Mila, please don't feel guilty for what happened... Please don't do that..."
,,I can't because I apparently did that. Maybe you should be mad at me. Be mad at me!" I said and once again tears escaped me.
,,It wasn't you!" Shawn said and shook me lightly.
,,But it was... It was my body who did that..." I said and he closed his eyes for a few seconds to take a few deep breaths.
,,It was your body controled by a drug! It wasn't your mind thinking! I'm sorry I didn't get it earlier and instead I got mad at you for something you had no control over. Please don't feel guilty.... I don't wanna see you looking at me like you are not enough for me because God dammit, you are. You are more than enough and more than I ever dreamed about. What happened last night was Josh's fault and trust me when I say that he is going to pay for it. It wasn't you who did that. It was the drug. Got it?" He asked and I nodded.
He wiped my tears away and then kissed my forehead. I didn't want to feel guilty and I tried my best not to.
,,You wanna go home?" He asked me and I nodded.
,,Yeah, but shit.." I said when I remembered that Karen called me and they were on the way to us and she was probably really confused about why I asked her to call Shawn.
,,What's wrong?" Shawn asked confused.
,,Your mom called me and told me that they are on their way to us. I was kind of freaking out that I couldn't find you and asked her if she could call you... She's probably really confused now..." I said and couldn't help, but think that Karen and Manuel will hate me after they find out what happened.
,,Don't worry about that. I'll call her and explain what happened. Well, not everything because it's not their business." He said and gave me a smile.
,,They gonna hate me..." I said and Shawn shook his hand.
,,They won't hate because of something you had no control over and plus, they love you more than they love me." He said and I couldn't help, but chuckle at his words.
,,Not true..." I said and he chuckled too.
,,I call mom and then we go home. Okay?" He asked and I nodded.
He took his phone from the nightstand and that's when he saw all the missed calls and texts. He looked up at me and gave me an apology look.
,,It's okay." I said and brought his hand to my lips to leave a soft kiss on it.
He called his mom and put it on speaker for me to hear it too. Karen immediately picked up and started freaking out.
,,Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, if you wouldn't have been an adult, then I would have beaten the shit out of you. Why the fuck is your fiancée crying on the phone and asking me to call you because you don't pick up your damned phone!? And why the fuck don't you pick up your phone when I call you!? Do you know that I can get a heart attack by worrying about your 29 years old ass!?" Karen said almost yelling at Shawn.
,,I'm sorry. It's a longer story, but I'm okay and Mila is okay. We didn't want you to worry." Shawn said and scratched the back of his neck.
,,If you don't want me to worry then you pick up when I call! Anyways..... Why did you make Camila cry?" Karen asked and Shawn gave me a "was I right or was I right?" look.
,,Long story, mom." Shawn said.
,,Okay... But you and Mila are fine, right?" Karen asked.
,,We are perfectly fine." Shawn said.
,,Okay. We'll get there in ten minutes."
,,See you, mom." Shawn said and they hung up.
,,We should go now if we want to be there before they arrive." I said and he nodded.
We walked home together and I clinged on his arm. On the way, the feeling of guilt disappeared completely, but my anger for Josh grew at an incredible speed.
,,Daddy!" Riley said and ran in Shawn's arms when we got back home.
,,What's up, princess?" Shawn asked as he picked her up.
Mary looked at me with a relieved facial expressions seeing us both back home. I gave her a smile trying you let her know everything was okay.
,,Come here." Mary said and I walked over to her while Shawn was talking to Riley. ,,Do you wanna do a drug test to see what was in your drink?" Mary asked and I took in a deep breath.
,,I would, but those kind of drugs can't be found in the blood system..." I said and Mary let out a disappointed breath.
,,What do you do then?" She asked and I sat down on the couch next to her.
,,Beat the shit out of that dude when I see him the next time." Shawn suddenly said and joined us on the couch.
,,I should tell you that you can't do that, but I wanna do it too." I said and Mary giggled lightly.
,,Who are you beating?" Riley asked and got in my lap.
,,No one, princess." I said and started doing her some braids.
