He doesn't deserve her.

      It's been a few months of them being together, and they couldn't have been worse. I've been watching Angelica intently since I saw it.

"Hey!"

Angelica pepped happily, almost too happily. I smiled.

"Hey."

She comes in for a hug, I hug her back, letting go. I look at her up and down, my eyes falling onto her torso. My eyes widen.

"Holy shit, what the hell is that Angelica?"

I get on my knees, examining the bruise on her side. She winces as I touch it, she turns away from me.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

She's being abused.

"I bumped into the corner of one of my tables, it hurt like a bitch. Haha."

She says, her answer dripping with falsity.

"Oh. Well do you want some ice for it?"

She shakes her head.

"No, I'm okay. Thank you though!"

I smile sympathetically, why are you lying to me Gomez?

_______________________________

I can hear footsteps coming up my stairs, probably Angelica. I strum my guitar, thinking of the first few lyrics.

I won't lie to you
I know he's just
Not right
For you.

I hear a few knocks on my bedroom door, I open it seeing the love of my life.

"Hey."

She gently smiles.

"I'm gonna be in the bathroom okay? Than maybe I can hear a few songs of yours?"

I nod my head, well I mean they're all about you. She walks off as I shut the door, I grab a piece of paper. Finishing off one of my newest songs that I've written. I sit down, setting one of my cameras up.

"Hey, I'm Shawn Mendes. And I'll be singing my newest single, Treat You Better."

I strum the first few notes.

I won't lie to you, I know he's just not right for you.

I think of the memories I've spent with Angelica. We were in a prairie, and she couldn't stop gushing about drawing.

And you can tell me if I'm off, but I see it on your face, when you say that he's the one that you want.

Angelica was happier than, truly happy. When she didn't lie to me, as if I'd ever lie to her.

And you're spending all your time, in this wrong situation, and anytime you want it to stop.

I stop for a few seconds, Angelica.

I know I can treat you better, than he can. And any girl like you deserves a gentlemen.

I sing loudly, she deserves better.

Tell me why are we wasting time, on all your wasted crime, when you should be with me instead.

I think I just heard footsteps.

I know I can treat you better, better than he can.

Here's comes the second verse.

I'll stop time for you, the second you say, you'd like me too.

My world stops when I see you. Why shouldn't I do the same if you wanted it, Gomez?

I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing, baby just to wake up with you.

I remember when she and I would cuddle all night, since she'd have nightmares every so often. She'd tell me how much it meant when I spent the lonely nights with her. It was such a sight to see when she woke up.

Would be everything I need, and this could be so different, tell me what you want to do.

I stare into the camera.

'Cause I know I can treat you better, than he can, and any girl like you deserves a gentlemen. Tell me why are we wasting time, on all your wasted crime, when you should be with me instead.

You should be with me, Angelica.

I know I can treat you better, better than he can.

I take a few breathers.

Better than he can.

She's hurting.

Give me a sign, take my hand we'll be fine. Promise I won't let you down.

She's always made excuses to stay with me longer before heading out to see Brian.

Just know, that you don't, have to do this alone. Promise I'll never let you down.

She'd never be alone, not over my dead body.

'Cause I know I can treat you better, than he can.

I look away from the camera, imagining all the times I've seen her hurt physically. Looking into her eyes, I could see the pain she had emotionally.

And any girl like you deserves a gentlemen, tell me why are we wasting time on all your wasted crime, when you should be with me instead.

She'd call me in the middle of the night, crying for no reason. But of course I knew the reason, she just wouldn't take a stand.

I know I can treat you better,

This needs to stop.

Better than he can.

Better than he can.

I sang louder than I could have ever sang, pouring my heart out. The memories flashing.

Better than he can.

I strum the last few notes, and finished off the song. I stood up, closed my camera, and heard sobbing. I open my door, to see Angelica crying against it. I quickly drop my stuff, hugging her, she holds onto me tight.

"Angie.."

"Don't. Please, I just need you to hold me. I'm afraid. Terrified, honestly."

I nod my head.

"Angelica I understand that you're afraid. But continuing this relationship isn't right, you and I both know that. What he's doing to you? He won't ever do that again, I won't let that happen. I promise."

I look her dead in the eye, caressing her tear drenched cheek. No one deserved this type of pain, especially not my Angelica. She nodded, I picked up her fragile body, carrying her to my bed. I tucked her in, kissing her forehead as she fell asleep.

            Things are gonna change,

                                                for the better.
