Chapter 4

I keep looking at him without saying anything. How did this happen? What happened to him? There are so many questions going through my head. Was it Peter? I have never seen him before, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did this to Shawn.

Shawn doesn't say anything either, he keeps staring into my eyes. My eyes scan his entire face, time after time.

"What happened?" I say quietly and stand up.

He is a lot taller than I am, so I can't reach his face very well. My cup of coffee is still on the floor, but I don't pay attention to it, all I care about is him. Shawn does not answer, instead he keeps looking at me, which causes me to become fidgety and panicky.

"Shawn?" I say again. "It was Peter, wasn't it?"

He shakes his head and mumbles something very softly, but I can't understand a word. A waiter comes to my table and picks up the broken cup from the ground and leaves.

"No, it wasn't Peter" he says quietly.

I feel sorry for him, even though I don't like him, no, I hate him, and I don't know why, but, he doesn't deserve this.

Mia, Cole, Jace and Jackson head to our direction. Do they know what happened? Why don't they tell me anything?

"What happened?!" I ask, and look at them with concern, because honestly, I'm very concerned about him.

They all don't answer me and I throw my hands in the air. I don't understand why they ignore me, have I done something wrong?

"I'm leaving" I huff and grab my backpack and jacket.

I want to walk away, but Shawn grabs my wrist and pulls me towards himself. This is strange, first he ignores me, and now I can't leave.

"Come outside with me, please" he whispers in my ear, practically begging.

I look at my 'friends' and see Mia looking at me, she heard Shawn's question, and gives me a short nod that I have to go with him. I don't want to go outside with him, but I do want to know what happened.

"No, I'm not going outside with you" I snap, and he lets go of my wrist.

Now he's going to act nice, but he called me crazy. I don't want to have anything to do with him. I look at him for the last time and sigh. I walk out of the cafe and feel a hand on my shoulder, it makes me to turn around, and I look into Mia her eyes.

"Please, go talk to Shawn outside, he has to tell you something, about last night" she says softly, and looks at me with sympathy.

What happened to me last night? I know he knows more than he said. I need to know what happened to him and me, I have the right to know.

"Fine, just because I want to know what happened to me" I half lie to her. I also want to know what happened to Shawn, but I'll leave that out.

She nods and I walk back into the cafe.

Shawn is still standing in the same place. He looks at me from head to toe, it makes me uncomfortable. Mia walks back into the cafe and stands next to Jackson, I see all four of them looking at me.

"Well, do you still come with me or not?" I cross my arms over each other, waiting for his answer.

He turns around to his friends and tightens his jaw. "Yeah" he says quietly, looking down at the ground.

"Okay" I mumble, and leave the cafe together with Shawn. He walks to his car, a black Jeep, opens the door and takes a seat in the vehicle. What is he doing? I only want to talk, not drive away with him.

I look at him amazingly and he opens his window. This is a fucking joke, right? What the fuck is he thinking? That I want to have a nice time with him? I only want answers, my answers. Nothing more and nothing less.

"Come inside" he demands, his hazel brown eyes penetrate my soul.

"No" I snap. "I only want to talk, nothing more."

He sighs and gets out of his car. "Enter my car, now" he says in a threatening tone. I cross my arms over each other, and shake my head. No way I'm entering that car, with him.

"Jesus Rose, fuck you" he says, walks towards me and lifts me over his shoulder.

"Shawn, let me go! Now" I shout and hit is back, trying to escape from his arms.

He opens the passenger door and puts me down on the seat next to him. He closes the door behind me and sits behind the wheel himself.

"You're fucking crazy" I tell him and throw my hands in the air.

"No, you're crazy, puppy" he tells me and starts his car.

I look aside and see Mia looking at me, and quickly after that she says something to Jackson. This can't end well...

........

The whole drive we don't say anything to each other, it's uncomfortable. Shawn drives to a remote part of Delaware, at least, I think, I'm just new here. I sigh and look out the window and see a lot of flowers. Luckily, the sky is clear.

After twenty minutes he stops the car and parks it on the grass. He opens the car door and leaves the vehicle. I don't know what to think, why does he suddenly take me here?

"Get out" he demands and opens my door.

"Jesus, you're so annoying" I huff and leave the car.

He rolls his eyes and locks his car. We are facing each other and he looks straight into my eyes. My breathing becomes more irregular as he steps closer, but he remains silent.

"What happened?" I ask compassionately.

He still ignores my question.

"You know what? If you keep ignoring me, why did you bring me here? You're so confusing. You say you hate my kind and then you approach me in the cafe with a black eye, and now? Now, you ignore me and say nothing! It makes me crazy, Shawn!" I yell and run my fingers through my hair, out frustration.

He doesn't stretch a muscle. He only he kicks a stone away with his foot, and keeps looking at the ground.

"I'm done here. Bring me back to Delaware, now" I demand.

"No" he says angrily.

Why is he angry? I must be the person who is angry. This is getting better and better. Why the fuck am I even here with him?

"Oh, so you can talk!" I say and laugh, not in a good way.

"Can you just keep your fucking mouth shut? I want to enjoy the silence" he snarls back.

"You want to enjoy the silence? You really are unbelievable! Why do you take me with you? Go here on your own! I thought you wanted to talk to me."

In a seconed of time he places his right hand on my mouth. "Shut the fuck up" he says quietly.

I look with my eyes at his hand on my mouth, his hands feel warm on my skin. So fucking warm.

I grab his right wrist and take his hand from my mouth. "Talk. Now" I demand.

"You really can't keep quiet for a fucking second" he says annoyingly. "But I'll just tell you where you are and why I brought you here" he continues.

"Finally" I say and throw my hands in the air. "Well, go on, tell me, I'm wairing."

Instead he says something, he grabs my wrist and we walk for about five minutes until we arrive at a hill. Seriously? He brought me to a hill?!

"A hill? Seriously? You drove twenty minutes to take me to a fucking hill!" I throw my hands in the air and laugh.

He takes place on the bench and stares out for himself. I look around me and see no one, how does he know that this place exists? I sit next to him on the bench and look at him. I turn around so I can look at his face, and place my fingers on his black eye, slowly tracing it.

"Does it hurt?" I ask quietly.

"No" he says. I know he lies. He is a terrible liar, eventhough I don't know him for that long, I do know he can't lie.

"Look at me" I say quietly and he faces me. "Who did this?"

"It doesn't matter, Rose" he tells me quietly, and turns his face away from me.

"Of course it matters Shawn! Why did you bring me to a hill? Why did we drive so long to a hill far away from our campus?"

He shrugs. "I wanted to leave the area for a bit, after this happened" he points at his eye.

"Please, tell me what happened" I basically beg.

"It was the boy from the party" he says quietly.

I look at him and panic. The blond boy of the party gave Shawn a black eye. Why did he do this? Did Shawn search for him? Or the other way around? What happened that night? There are so many questions that I get a headache.

"W-what, h-how is that possible?" I stutter.

"He found me with his friends, no worries, he's in the hospital" he says and frumbles his shirt.

"Why did he search for you in the first place?" I ask, still can't believe that the boy from the party did this.

He laughs and looks into my eyes. "You really don't get it, do you?"

"No, get what?!" I ask amazingly.

"The boy from the party wanted to rape you, Rose! He was angry that I stopped him before he could do anything to you" he says seriously. "He said something to me at the party but I didn't give him any attention, nobody scares me, I don't have any feelings, so it didn't fascinate me what he said."

"H-he wanted to r-rape me?" I stutter and feel tears coming up in my eyes.

"Yes, Rose, he wanted to rape you. He put drugs in your drink so he could r-, well, you know what he wanted to do, nobody did anything, except me."

I have been in Delaware for two days and someone already wanted to rape me? Why did I come here? After last year I thought my life couldn't get any worse, I was wrong.

"I told him to leave you alone, but he didn't listen and after that I had a fight with him" he tells me, not daring to look at me.

"Why did you fight him? You don't even like me" I say quietly.

"No matter how much I hate you, I don't think you can rape a girl, that's fucked up. Nobody deserves that."

I think back to the night, but only feel his hands on my thigh. It gives me goose bumps.

"Are you cold?" he asks quietly.

I feel a breeze passing by. "Yes" I tell him.

He stands up and takes off his jacket. "Here" he says and gives me his jacket.

I take his jacket from his hands and put it on. "Thank you" I say softly.

He shortly nods at me and walks to the end of the hill. You can see all of Delaware from here, it is beautiful. I can't imagine what the view will be like when it's dark and all the lights of the houses are on, the stars high in the sky, and the moon that shines brightly.

I walk up to him and stand next to him. "Peaceful, isn't it?"

"Yes, I always come here when things get too much in my head" he replies.

He is suddenly very vulnerable, I have never seen him like this before. Why is he so mysterious?

"So you come here often?" I ask and turn around to him.

He turns around to me. "That's not your business."

I nod. "Okay, I was only curious."

"You are always curious. That's how you are put together. You always want to know everything, you don't want to hurt anyone and everyone should like you. I hate it."

I get angry. "You don't know anything about me! You just think you know everything about everyone, but that's not true. I've never done anything to you, so I don't understand why you hate me so much!" I raise my voice at him.

"I just can't stand you. Your attitude, the very innocent attitude. You are not innocent, Rose. We all know that, it's just an act" he snaps.

"You have got to be kidding me" I roll my eyes and throw my hands in the air." You don't even know who I am, how old I am, where I come from. Nothing. You know nothing! So I wouldn't be so quick with judgments, because you're completely wrong! I want to leave. Now."

I throw his jacket on the floor and walk back to Shawn's Jeep. I am no longer cold, anger dominates my whole body. As I walked away I hear Shawn say something to himself. I still don't know why he took me to a hill. Honestly, I don't even want to know. I am sure he must have gone here, because nobody is here and he could argue with me without anyone seeing us. Cleverly played.

After a few long minutes Shawn arrives at his car and opens the doors. I get in and Shawn does the same. He starts his car and drives back to Delaware University.

The ride takes a long time, too long. When we arrive he parks his car in front of his apartment complex.

I look at him. "I don't live here" I say, while tailing out the window. The building in front of me is much bigger than the building I live in.

He nods. "I know, but I do" he says and leaves his car.

This is unbelievable, how can anyone be such an asshole? I only feel anger, he is so ...  fuck.

I get out of his car and stand in front of him. "So, you'll just leave me here?" I shout at him, and swing my arms around, between the building and his car.

He turns around to me. "Yes, you can see that" he says and turns back to the front door of his apartment.

"Asshole!" I yell at him.

I hear him laughing and he opens his front door. "I was right, you're not that innocent" he tells me.

With these words he closes the door behind him and leaves me alone outside..
