She was different to any student he had ever come across. She was quiet, read books, didn't party, but behind the silence was a sadness that radiated from her. It was as if he couldn't help himself, he wanted to be what she needed. The only problem...
Faye Dawson "I cant believe him" I said to Raoul as we sat in a separate room to Shawn and that other girl. I kicked a metal chair and Raoul sighed. "I'm not entirely sure what's going on but evidently it's pretty bad" I groaned and sat beside him. "I told him to not hire a lawyer because I could do it myself and it just shows that he doesn't believe in me or trust me." I said and felt it hard to hold back my tears. Raoul reached and wiped a stray tear from my cheek and I smiled. "He obviously doesn't realise how much of a good girlfriend you are. He's a bit of a Erm how do you say it? A knob if he doesn't realise how special you are" I laughed at his words and immediately felt better.
"Miss Dawson, Mr Olman. We're all going to sit in a conference room and talk together." Officer O'Brien said. Both me and Raoul nodded before following him into a conference room where Shawn and his lawyer were already sat. "Now if this goes smoothly we won't have to take this to a courtroom however if we don't come to an agreement it will go to court" he explained. "Well this will be very quick because I am sure I'm able to defend Mr Mendes through any questions" lawyer lady said and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "You don't need to defend him against anything because we all want the same thing" I spoke up.
"Mr Olman do you agree that Shawn Mendes stole one of your theories of analysis to sell for his own benefit?" Mr O'Brien asked and Raoul laughed. "Now. What you three don't understand is what really happened. Only one of you bothered to come and find me and get my side of the story." Raoul stood up and walked round the room. "If you had asked my side I would tell you that I left that theory for Mr Mendes to finish. I intended for him to take it. Granted I should of made it more clear to him that that is what I was doing but to me, no crime has been committed here" I nodded once and looked at Shawn who surprisingly didn't look happy. He met my eye and I raised my eyebrows. "You know all this? You knew all this and didn't bother to tell me?!" Shawn said raising his voice. "How the fuck could I tell you Shawn! I found this out yesterday whilst in America to save your damn arse. You never bothered to call me after I told you I was going into a meeting no. Instead you just hired a pretty little lawyer because you don't trust or believe in me" I ranted at him and I noticed Shawn's cheeks turn a shade of pink.
"So Mr Mendes, to you, hasn't committed any crime?" Mr O'Brien asked Raoul and Raoul shook his head no. "Do you expect the money Mr Mendes has or anything to be returned to you?" Once again Raoul shook his head no. "Camila do you have anything else to add?" "As long as Shawn gets to go as soon as we're done here then no" she said folding her arms and I saw Shawn give her a small smile which she returned. I felt a little piece of my heart break but shook it off as O'Brien gave the conclusion. "Well then, if everyone is happy here then Mr Mendes you are free to go and no record of this will be held against your name" he sighed and I smiled to myself.
Everyone stood up and I went straight to Raoul. "Thank you. So much" I said and he nodded. "My pleasure Miss Dawson. I'm afraid I should get back to America. I do not trust my son with the house for so long" he laughed and I smiled. We walked out of the station where a driver was waiting for him. "Goodbye Miss Dawson. I will give Xavier your phone number. You are always welcome at our house" "Thank you very much. It means a lot to me what you have done" I said and shook his hand. "Goodbye." "See you later" I smiled as he got in the car and I sighed as he drove off.
"I respect what you did Faye, for Shawn" Mr O'Brien said and I shrugged. "I love him. I'd do anything to make sure he was ok" I said and he put a hand on my back before walking away back into the station. I just hoped I never had to be back here again.
I walked out of the station with my gym bag slung over my tired shoulders and began the walk home. "Faye!" I took out my headphones and looked at the car pulling up next to me. "Go fuck yourself" I said. Shawn stopped the car and I stopped walking. I looked back at the car and saw his lawyer sat in the front seat. "Oh this should be good" I said walking up to the window. "Can I just say," lawyer girl started. "No you may not. Shut the fuck up" I said then looked at Shawn. "You may of forgotten, but I'm still your girlfriend" I said and tears filled my eyes. "I know. And I love you so much. I'm just dropping Camila off then I'm coming round" "No your not" I said and he laughed starting up the engine. "Yes I am" he said before speeding away.
"If Shawn knocks on the door please don't let him in" I said as I finished talking to Mum. "I'll try" I kissed her cheek and walked up to my room, flopping down on the bed. I could just close my eyes and sleep for a week. Luckily, before long I did manage to get to sleep. But not for long. In the distance I felt a hand brush my hair. It was relaxing, and their smell was so inviting. I let out a groan and rubbed my eyes sitting up on my bed. As I took my hands away from my eyes I looked at the blurry Male figure. "Get out. I said to Mum not to let you in" I groaned. "Well I'm in now so we might as well talk about everything" Shawn said using his big brown eyes to draw me into him. He cupped my face and leaned in to kiss me. Quickly I put my hand over his mouth and he backed away. "What you think you can just kiss me and I'm going to forgive you for everything? This isn't Disney Shawn" I said and he smiled. "Faye. Please. I know it was wrong and I should of trusted you to do it. I love you so much and I'm so so sorry. Please Faye. I'm so grateful for everything you've done for me these past few weeks." Shawn smiled and i felt my heart swell a little. "Did you fancy her?" "Who?" "You're little lawyer" I said rolling my eyes at him. Shawn smiled and shook his head. "She's an attractive woman Faye yes. But she's not you" he told me and I smiled as he took my hand in his. "I fucked up and I know I fucked up. I'm so sorry that I doubted you. Please forgive me?" "Well you might have to take me to Paris again but for now ok I forgive you you idiot" Shawn took me in his arms and we fell back on the bed, waiting until one of us broke the silence.
