It had been a week since Shawn and I arrived home from LA, and things were different.

Too different.

I felt like I was constantly walking on eggshells around Shawn and his family, I never really knew what to say or how to act around them.

There was a constant fear in the back of my mind and in the pit of my stomach that Lance would show up at anytime.

That constant fear put me on edge and I felt horrible because I knew Shawn noticed and was worrying for me.

"Babe?" Shawn asked, I turned around in my desk chair to see a tall Shawn Mendes standing in my bedroom doorway.

"Hey, whatcha doing over here it's late?" I asked surprised, I glanced over at the clock to see that it was almost one in the morning.

"Your Mum was still up and let me in." He told me quietly, I sighed already knowing what he wanted to talk about.

"Shawn, I'm fine." I stated shortly, he looked like he didn't buy it.

He slowly shut my bedroom door behind him and took a seat on my unmade bed.

I watched as he ran his hands though his brown curls, he did that a lot.

"Come here..." He whispered, I slowly stood from my chair and made my way to him.

I took a seat on his lap and wrapped my arms gently around his neck.

"Clover, I know when somethings wrong, we're best friends it's my job to know." He told me softly, he brought a hand to my face and stroked a stray strand of hair behind my ear.

"I know that." I told him not really knowing what else to say.

"Then why is it so hard for you to talk to me?" He questioned, I dropped my eyes to my lap and stayed quiet.

"Baby, please I can't help you if you don't talk to me." He begged and pleaded for me to talk, so I broke and spilled everything.

"It's Lance, I'm worried he's going to come out to Canada and find me! I mean he doesn't even have to try, he knows where I freaking live!!! I'm scared he's going to try and hurt you again, look what happened in LA!!! I just can't take all the stress anymore, it's too much..." I told him, I took a breath and buried my face into the side of his neck.

"Hun, I'm here, don't let Lance ruin us." Shawn whispered, the tears began to stream down my face as he held me tightly against his chest.

Shawn was wrong about one thing.

I should worry, Lance wasn't going to give up until I was his.
