Part 22~ Tell me something

Shawn

Hannah had her arm wrapped around my torso to help me walk properly because my legs were still shaky and weak. I didn't plan to meet her like this. I have a business meeting here in London. Or I would have been at the meeting, but instead, I was in a car accident on my way to the meeting, and now I am here.

When I was on the flight to London I planned to surprise her at her university after the meeting. I'm at least happy that I had the chance to meet her. She made my day. I can't be happier at this moment.

Jack walked towards us with two takeaway cups in his hand. "Hannah, what the fuck? Where are you going?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes. Can't he just accept that she wants to help me? I looked down on Hannah and I could see that she hesitates on her answer. Common Hannah, just says that you are taking me home, so we just can get out of here. But what she said made me shocked.

"I'm taking Shawn home and then I'm going back to the university. You can go home and we'll see each other tomorrow" then we started to walk again. Thoughts that I don't want to think about is popping up in my head. I don't want to think about it, but I can't help it. She said to me that there was nothing between them and then we kissed. But I can tell that it is something between them. Or at least that something is going on.

"I hope you'll feel better soon," Jack said and slammed his hand on my shoulder. "Mm," I answered short with my lips pressed together in a thin line.

As we sat in the backseat of Roger's car Hannah wouldn't let go of me. She sat close to me and held my hand. And I all of sudden felt everything spinning around. I bent forward, with my elbows on my knees and my forehead in my hands. Trying to take a deep breath "Are you okay?" I could hear the worry in her voice and she rubbed my back with her hand, trying to calm me down. "Yes, I'm just a little bit of nausea, and my head hurts"

"Drink this" she holds a water bottle in front of my eyes, and I wonder where she got that. But I didn't care to ask, I took the bottle from her hand and took a little sip. "More," she said firmly. I took a few sips more, I don't have the energy to argue about some water.

It wasn't until now I realized that she wore an ice hockey team shirt. "I didn't know that you were a Montreal Canadiens fan" she raised one eyebrow and I pointed at her shirt. "Oh this one?" she grabbed her shirt at the hem and looked down on it "To be honest I'm not a fan of them. Or to be exact I'm not a fan of ice hockey at all. I went to see the match with Jack" I sighed and opened my mouth to say something "But before you say something. I didn't want to go. He didn't ask me, he just gave me the ticket. And I thought that I couldn't say no, because I thought that he would be alone if I didn't go with him. But, he had his friends with him, so he didn't pay any attention to me at all. And I just wanted to go away"

"What an ass" I murmured to myself and looked out of the window and closed my eyes.

Hannah

I opened the door with one hand while the other arm was wrapped around his torso. This was a hell of a mission, but I managed it in the end. His apartment wasn't that big at all, it was just one open space. The tv-room was in the same room like the bedroom, the kitchen was in a little corner of the tv-room the door to the bathroom was in the hall.

"Woah, so this is just your staying-in- a- few days apartment?" "Yeah" he nodded and let go of off me and walked carefully towards his bed. "Do you need help?" "No" he answered short and took off his shirt. I could hear him curse under his breath when he pulled off his shirt slowly from his upper body.

And it wasn't until now I saw a big purple bruise that reaches from his waist, up to his scapula, and down to the middle of his back. I breathed in through my teeth due I just could imagine how much that must hurt.

"I'm going to sleep now. You can just throw in the keys in the letterbox after you locked the door"

Wait? Does he think that I'm gonna leave him like this? No way!

"You know that I won't leave you like this, right? What if something happens during the night?" I said and walked up to him. "It won't. I'm fine" he said and pulled the cover over his body. "Shawn" I sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed and placed my hand on his arm. He just looked in front of him, trying his hardest to avoid my eyes.

"I understand if you are mad at me and if you don't want to talk about it. But one thing for sure is, that I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know that he would come back to London. When I got back to the university he just stood there, outside my room. And I didn't want to be rude and push him away. And just then, I felt that I needed to be with someone, just to make me think of something else. Because I had been crying from Toronto to London. I needed to get my thought of something else"

He finally looked at me and spoke up "Okay, you can stay until I have fallen asleep" then he closed his eyes. And even he had closed his eyes I could see a little tear rolling down his cheek. I walked away and sat down in the armchair that stood in the corner of the room. Thinking that he needs some privacy. But I still want to be close enough if something happens. Because I can tell that he still is a little bit of nausea due to his pale face.

It didn't take long before I heard small snores coming from the bed. I know that he said that I could stay until he falls asleep. But he won't get rid of me in the first place. I'm gonna stay with him the whole night. Even if he doesn't want to.

I sneaked around his apartment, looking around if there is anything that makes me know him a little better. I saw his MacBook on top of the coffee table and headphones beside it. I took the MacBook and the headphones and carefully walked back to the bedroom and sat down comfortably in the armchair before I opened up the computer. Yes, no passwords!

He turned around in the bed which made me freeze. I looked up at him with big eyes, with the hope that he wasn't awake. But it seems to be okay. Naww! he is so cute while he is sleeping. His messy brown hair, slightly red cheeks, and his mouth that is slightly open.

I looked around the files on his computer and saw a file with the name 'songs- covers and my own' I clicked on it and connected the headphones. And I clicked on the first video and it was a video of him playing guitar and, singing?!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Woah, he has an incredible singing voice! He sounds like an angel. Why didn't I know that since earlier? Why hasn't he told me that he can sing?

I smiled at the video when I all of sudden heard Shawn's voice.

"I hope you don't look at some dirty stuff on there," he said smirking. "The internet was too slow" I joked back and closed the computer. "You'll still here" he sounded disappointed "Yeah, I didn't want to leave you alone. So I had to stay. You won't get rid of me that quick you know. Are you disappointed that I'm still here?"

He chuckled and shook his head. "Come," he said and patted on the empty side of the bed beside him. I carefully walked over to his bed and sat at the edge and turned around. And he just laughed. "You know you can sit closer to me, right?"

I crawled up on the bed a little bit more and he just smiled at me.

"Tell me something" he smiled up at me. "About what?" "Anything" "Well," I said, dragging out on the l's and looked around the room, trying to come up with what I can tell him. And I got the biggest smile and looked at him.

"When I was little, my mom got me a pair of glittery wellies for my birthday and I loved them so much so I refused to take them off. I wore them in bed, in the bath all summer long. My favorite outfit was the glittery boots and my bumblebee tights"

"Bumblebee tights?" Shawn asked with a little smile on his lips. "Black and yellow stripes," I said proudly "Oh god" he squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head and I could hear a little chuckle leaving his throat. "I just really really really liked having stripey legs" I laughed.

"So what happened to these gorgeous wellies and stripy tights?"

"Ah" I sighed "I grew out of them. It broke my heart to know that I couldn't have them anymore"

Shawn just smiled big at me "What?" I asked "Nothing," he said and smiled even bigger "But bumblebee tights? Really?" he laughed and raised one eyebrow. "Oh shut up!" I laughed and threw the pillow on his face. "Have you ever loved something that much?"

"Yes. Yes I have"

Hi guys!
This is a kinda long chapter. And I'm sorry if you don't like long chapters. I will try to make the next chapter shorter. And I know, nothing much happened in this chapter. I just wanted to fill out the story a little. And I know, this chapter is crap!

And if you think that you have seen or remember this last part of the chapter (when Hannah is talking about her bumblebee tights) is bc you probably have. I took a scene from one of my favorite movies 'me before you' I love that scene and I think it's so cute so I just had to put it in here. Hihi 💫❤️

And sorry if there are any misspelling or grammatical errors
