Shawn was still knocking on the door and looking at me through the door window. I was so confused. Why is he doing this is in front of so many people? He was screaming so loudly that the whole class turned around and looked at me, questioning what was going on.

How was I supposed to know?

The teacher went to open the door and Shawn bursted inside the classroom. His eyes full of worry and a desprate need of help. Then I realised- it was really something that was urgent.

''What do you want Mr. Mendes'' my English teacher asked

''I need to talk to Katherine sir''

''Do you not see that we are in the middle of a lesson?'' my teacher asked sarcastically

''I do. However, I will not ask if it wasn't important. Sir.'' Shawn ended angrily while looking straight into the teacher's eyes.
I loved how Shawn stood up for himself. However, there was still this feeling inside me that was making me worried. What was happening. Why is shawn acting so strange?

I guess Shawn saw my confused face and held his arm to me, waiting for me to hold it back and  leave the room so that he can explain. So I did. 

While we were leaving the room I could feel all the judgemental looks hitting my neck- everyone was looking and judging us in the morning when we walked in the schooland now... THIS? I was already pretty sure that this whole situation is definitely going to be discussed by the whole school... very, VERY soon. 

''What is going on Shawn?'' I finally asked when we were in the hallway alone

''Katherine, this is a very long story but...long story short, I need to borrow your car'' 

''Sure'' I got out the car keys from my pocket and handed them to him. Shawn slightly toched my fingers and then he held my hand tighly and looked straight into my eyes.

''I need you to come with me too''

''Why? What is happening, Shawn. I don't understand anything''

''My mum was in a car crash'' he looked down and sounded very hurt ''My dad's in Atlanta at the moment because of his real estate agent company and my sister is at school and doesn't know about it yet. They called me from the hospital and told me about the situation. I need to go and see her'' his voice was breaking by the end of his sentence. He looked so hurt. All I wanted to do was to hug him and tell him everything was going to be okay. But I can't promise him that.

My first reaction was to touch his chin, bring his head upwards and look straight into his beautiful hazel eyes. 

''I am here for you. Whatever you need. I'm here'' I said and hugged him tight. He held me close to him and was touching my hair softly.

''Okay, we need to go now. Come on'' Shawn said and we started moving. A few seconds later he stopped out of nowhere and said '' Wait, what about that weird teacher? He will know that you left without permission'' 

''Don't worry about him. I will text Chrissy and tell her to say to him that I wasn't feeling good and I left. Please- focus on your mum for now.'' Shawn immediately became tense when I mentioned his mum again.

'' Don't worry about me or the teacher. Okay? '' I said and touched his cheek softly. I noticed his cheek scar. It was so beautiful. So real. Just like Shawn. I can't belive this boy. I am so lucky to have him as a friend...or maybe I want something more? I don't know yet, but he surely IS making buterflies fly around my stomach every time he smiles at me.

 Shawn still looked angry and was staring at the floor. Blankly. 

Then he looked at me, smiled and held my hand; we nodded at each other and  started running to the carpark.

***

On the way to the hospital Shawn was driving and he seemed so tense. He clenched his jaw and I couldn't help but admire his beautiful features. Without thinking I pressed my hand on top of his and waited for his responce. He immediately dropped the angry face and changed his facial expression enormously. He smiled at me but I could still see through those eyes. Even though they seemed sweet and kind, there was still anger. And worry. Then he turned his head, focused on the road again and that face appeared again. The anger.

''Shawn, why are you so angry? You couldn't have done anthing to change it. You're not responsible for any of this. '' I asked him desparately while he was focusing on the road

''See that's the thing?!'' Shawn screamed. I didn't expect that reaction of him so I jumped a bit.

He noticed it, but didn't do anything about it. He was still full of anger and continued screaming.

''That's the thing Katherine!'' This time, the way he said my name wasn't like the previous time. There were no butterflies in my stomach. There was just shock and worry. I didn't know what was happening. Why he was changing his emotions so drastically...

''I am.'' Shawn said

''You're what Shawn?'' I asked quietly

Shawn clenched his jaw again, squeezed his eyes and looked away.

''You're what Shawn?! Tell me! You're scaring me!'' I screamed

''I AM responsible Kath. I am responsible for the car crash'' Shawn screamed at me and looked away.
