*Anna's POV*
                          
I frowned down at my phone screen. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and reading. 
                          
I had found a few pictures online of Shawn and another girl together. And the articles that were with them claimed that he was cheating on me with her. 
                          
Just looking at them made me upset. I didn't think that Shawn would actually cheat on me, but it was hard to just ignore all of what people were saying. 
                          
Shawn was home and probably in the living room, so I turned off my phone and left our room, heading there. He was right where I expected, watching some show on the couch. 
                          
"Shawn, what is this?" I demanded, pointing at the picture of him and the girl on my phone. 
                          
He looked up at me and said, "That's just a photoshopped picture. It's not real." 
                          
"Really?" I asked, "Then why are there tons of people claiming that your cheating on me?" 
                          
"Come on, Anna," he shook his head, "I've only met her once and nothing happened between us." 
                          
"So you have met her," I concluded, "You were with her." 
                          
"Why are you accusing me of this?" Shawn shouted, standing up, "I told you the truth! What else do you want from me?" 
                          
"Shawn, do you expect me to just take your word for it when there is so much saying that your lying?" I argued, "I'm sorry, but I can't just believe you like that." 
                          
"Well why not?" he continued to raise his voice, "Why can't you just see that this is all something that the media is doing? They're just trying to tear us apart and make a show out of it!" 
                          
I hadn't realized that I was backing up from him until my back hit the wall. I was starting to get scared of how angry Shawn looked, standing right in front of me. 
                          
"I hate them! Why can't they just leave me alone!" he shouted, raising his hand up and hitting the wall. Except, his hand slapped me on the cheek before smacking into the wall next to me. 
                          
My cheek stung and so did my eyes as tears started to form. I saw Shawn gasp as he realized what he had done, but I was taking none of it. "Get away from me!" I cried, running to the bathroom. 
                          
"Wait, Anna, please," Shawn tried. 
                          
But I wasn't listening to him. I shut the bathroom door in his face and locked it behind me. The sight of the pink spot on the side of my face in the mirror only made me get more upset.
                          
"Anna, please open the door," Shawn pleaded, no longer sounding mad.
                          
"You hit me, Shawn!" I replied.
                          
"I know, I know," he sighed, "I'm sorry. I swear I didn't mean to. I only meant to hit the wall and I was just too involved in the argument. I'm begging you, please open the door."
                          
I didn't know what to do. I wanted to open the door and be with him, but I was scared. He hurt me and I didn't want to forgive him so easily. I stayed silent for a couple of seconds.
                          
"Anna p-please," Shawn was crying now, "I swear to you I'll never hurt you ever again. Just at least let me see you."
                          
My heart broke at the sound of him crying. I reached for the door handle to open and opened the door. I couldn't help it.
                          
Shawn's eyes were bloodshot and red and I could see the streaks of tears down his cheeks.
                          
He hadn't cheated on me and I knew it.
                          
"Are you okay?" Shawn asked, "Oh no, of course you're not. I made your cheek red. I can't believe I did that."
                          
"It doesn't hurt that bad," I said, "At least not anymore."
                          
Shawn squeezed his eyes shut, shaking his head, "I'm so sorry, Anna. I know I shouldn't have done that and I get it if you want to leave me. I'm a jerk and I don't deserve to have you anymore. But, if there's any chance you don't hate me, please forgive me."
                          
He seemed genuinely sorry and I could tell her was hating himself for what he did more and more every second.
                          
"Shawn, I forgive you," I told, "And I'm sorry for accusing you of cheating just like that."
                          
"Don't be. You don't have any reason to be sorry," he spoke, "But thank you for forgiving me."
                          
I could tell he wasn't sure what to did after that, so I stepped closer to him and wrapped my arms around him. 
                          
Shawn huffed back, pressing his face into my hair and letting out a shaky breath. After staying like that for a couple seconds, he pulled away a little and caressed the mark on my cheek with his thumb. "I'll go get some ice for your cheek," Shawn spoke up, "And then I'll make dinner and do whatever you want me to."
                          
I smiled, "Sounds good to me." And then I pulled him into a hug again.
