"hey honey, how was work?" David asks me as I walk into my apartment. I give him a kiss on his cheek and muble something like 'ok'

I drop my bag, and walk towards the kitchen, I'm starving. "there's some food in the freezer" David shouts and I sigh. Can't he be a little quieter. As I warmed up the food, I walk to the couch. I try to focus on the TV but my focus is about Shawn.

I can't handle I don't know what happened to him. did someone break him mentally? ''Eve?'' David asks, getting me out of my thoughts. ''Yeah?' I reply, as I grab my phone. I quickly respond to a few messages. None of them were important though, but what happened to Shawn, definitely is.

This could be a great opportunity to search some information about him. I type in his name and press on images. a few pictures from Shawn pop on my screen.

I've never seen him like this. There are no dark circles under his eyes, which I just figured out are light brown. His smile catches my eyes, I haven't seen him smile like this.

''Who's that?'', David asks. I look up and see that he's looking at the picture as well. ''Shawn'', I mumble. ''who?'', he asks again, annoyance filling up in his voice. I sigh, ''This is Shawn''.

David gives me a weird look. ''Whose Shawn and why are you looking at him like that?'', he asks again, anger starting to boil in his eyes. Why is he always mad about everything? He doesn't even understand the situation. David is getting more aggressive by the second, you can see that by his red colored head.

''Let me ask you again, Eve'', he starts as I remain silent,

"WHO IS SHAWN AND WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT HIM LIKE THAT?" by the time he stops talking my body gets weak. why is he yelling at me?

I stand up, feeling the anger rise in my body.

''First of all, Shawn is a client of mine'', I say with a harsh voice, as David's face turns pale immediately out of shame,

''Secondly'', I say while sitting back on the couch ''he checked himself in and he won't fucking open up at all.'' I sigh again as I put my head in my hands. ''And I don't know what to fucking do with him''. ''Thank god'', David suddenly says. I give him a weird look.

''I thought you were cheating on me, lucky me, Shawn is mental'', he chuckles. Why is he laughing about this? ''There's no fucking reason to laugh about someone who's mental, David'', I burst out and he stops laughing. ''And you really thought I was cheating on you? I guess that describes how much you trust me'', I say as my voice slows down.

''I can't fucking believe you'', I say as I stand up. ''No, I can't fucking believe you'', David says pointing his finger at me,

''You stick up for someone's who's fucking mental, there's something wrong with you''. I sigh in relieve as I hear that my food is ready, I'm not in the mood for this.

''Get in that house already'', David mumbles as I walk past him. I turn around. ''Excuse me?'', I ask. He turns pale again, realizing he said that out loud. ''Fuck you, David.'' With that, I make my way upstairs, packing my bag. I walk down the stairs, making my way to the door. '' where are you going?'' David asks as he walks up to me.

''I'm going to the house, that's where I belong right?'' With that I walk past David, slamming the door, making my way to work.

'Jack Gilinsky here" thank god, he answered the phone

"Hey, you're talking with eve" I say. he asks me how I'm doing, and I tell him that I had a big fight with my boyfriend.

"Of course, you can go to the center already, we also have a bed available if you need" he tells me and I smile even though he can't see that.

"No thank you, I'll just finish some things for tomorrow, and I'll sleep on the couch" I say, finally someone who cares a bit about me.

as I finish the call, I'm at the parking lot already. I park my car, and grab my big. which is quite heavy

-

I drop my bags on the couch and sit down behind my desk. I open my laptop and start to finish start working on the groups session for tomorrow.

as it is like 2AM I decide to get some sleep. I am too lazy to change into my pajamas so I just sleep in my normal clothes. I sigh as I realize I forgot some blankets. I really can't sleep without a blanket or so. I unlock my door and walk towards the cupboard. it's exactly on the other side of the building so I have to walk for a few minutes.

I stop walking as I hear some weird noises.it really makes me anxious. it comes from one of the rooms on the left side of this building. I turn left, and walk down the hall, as I hear that the sounds are getting louder and louder. shouldn't they be asleep? I stop walking as I stand in front of Shawn's room

I knock on the door, no respond. I open the door slowly, and see that Shawn is staying with his back to the wall.

"Shawn are you okay?" Shawn look up. he's standing against the wall. "no" ofcourse not, look at him. "What happened" I look at his him. he's playing with the fabric of his black shirt. his knuckles are red and bursted. I look around and see what he did. is this his way to express himself? the walls are damaged by Shawn's fists. there are holes all over the walls. and somewhere the blood is still there. he didn't respond to my question. "I can help you, you know that" I say, looking back at him. "No, you can't" he slides down until he sits against the wall. "you know, I'm not leaving until you tell me something" there's a silence between us after I said it.

"Why are you here?" Shawn looks up, after a long silence. "I mean, I thought you didn't work at nights" he says.

"I got into a huge fight back home" I say, and I walk towards the edge of the bed. I sit down, so I can face Shawn better. I'm glad he started the conversation. It's silent for a few minutes again, but this time not an awkward silence.

"What was it about" he asks, since when does he ask that much? "nothing important, don't worry about it" I'm not going to tell him my personal issues. but you can see the curiosity in his eyes, this is one of the first times I see that his eyes are filled with an emotion

"Okay, I will tell you, if you tell me something about yourself too" I give myself a high five, for this idea. he simply nods. "I was fighting with my boyfriend, about.." how can I say this. I don't want to sound like a stalker. "..about my job" I say. it is true. well it's more about one person specifically. Shawn. "can you be more specific?" he asks. I nod my head.

"You"
