I Do / S.M/ ( sequel to Strings) *On Hold*

Chapter 10 accident

Zoë POV

I haven't seen Shawn since Saturday. Monday morning I wake up and take Skye to school. Halfway through the class, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket for the second time and ignore it only for it to do the same thing a few minutes later. I get up and duck down and scurry out the room. I go outside and pull out my phone to see a missed call from Shawn. I sigh annoyed that he called me. He knows  I was in class as I listen to his message. 

"Hey Zoë I know you're in class but  I just got into an accident... uh I had to get stitches under my eyebrow and my lip is sort of busted, I'm  ok  so don't worry just wanted to let you know." I gasp and pull my phone away and call him back my hands are shaking so bad I can hardly hold my phone. How I can continue with class. I shake my head and go back into the building and quietly pack up my things and ignore the glares I'm getting. I get in my car and pull up his number and call him back.

"Hey, I got your message,  Where are you?" 

"I'll text you my location." He says.  I nod and turn the key in the ignition. 

"What happened?" I ask. 

"I was going to turn and the car slammed into me." "Shit I'm sorry did they help out or anything?" I ask trying to calm myself down.  "Yes, and they apologized and all." He says calmly. "Well, I'll be there soon."   " See you soon." I hang up and grip the wheel tightly cautiously pull out of the parking lot. I get to the hospital and feel my heart racing as memories of being here when Skye was born to go through my head, along with all the anxiety associated with it. The staff guides me down a long hall. I knock on the door to the room and wait. "Come in." I open the door a little and slide in before shutting the door and turning around. I  look at Shawn and gasp. "Zo I'm fine shh stop crying." Shawn soothes. "No your not look at your face!"

"I'm-"

"How many stitches?"

"Uh five?"

"Shawn!" I pull away and examine his face. "Zoë it didn't even hurt.. well that's a lie my face smacked the wheel and that when my skin split and then got some minor whiplash." He says and cracks his neck. I'm speechless as I look at the white strips under his eyebrow and the busted part of his bottom lip. "I know this is no joking matter, but you look like you did in the Stitches video where you got beat up." He laughs at this. "I know we're  taking a break and I'll wait as long as you want, but I still want you to be my wife." He says looking at me.  I pace the room as he sits down on the bed his eyes following me. "I've been staying at my parents this last week, and then I leave again but I'll only be gone until-"

"Stop." He looks at me and sighs before running his fingers through his hair. "Right," "My question is where do we go from here?"  I stop pacing wondering what to say but for once I have nothing to say. "I don't know," I whisper. "I'm sorry for not appreciating all you do with Skye and going to school and everything. Your right, I don't get what it's like to be you but.."

"Tell you what,  come home tonight get ready to leave again and we'll start from there. Were "You sure? I can stay at my parents place if you want me to."

"I want you home," I say firmly.

"I'll come home then and I'm sorry about everything and-" I giggle a little and kiss him. I pull away briefly before pressing my lips  back on his."We shouldn't be making out in your car right now," Shawn says against my lips. "Yeah, but when have we had a kiss like this?" I ask smirking.  "Your right it's been a  while."  He says kissing me again. I let out a breath before moving my hand down his face. I pull away from my finger resting gently on his lips.  "Is that you saying were done?" He mumbles against my finger. "We have to go pick up Skye unless you want to go home first, your face must hurt."
