Shawn Mendes
Shawn and I were hanging out in our tree house.
We were jamming out to his music, go figure.
I loved his voice, I mean I guess you could say, I love him.
But I will never admit it. Well face to face with him.
His song "Three empty words." Was playing.
I was thinking about our past memories.
He was in the middle of talking to me when I zoned out.
He snapped his fingers on my face and got my attention.
"Yeah, sorry" I said
"So what do think of me going back on another tour for another 6 months.." He said
"I'm fine with it." I said shrugging.
It felt like I was being stabbed in the heart. 6 months? I can't do it for 6 months again.
He just smiled and believed that I was okay with it.
"Hey Shawn, when do you leave?" I asked
"Um, in two days.. But I want you to drive me to the airport.." He said
"Okay, I'll do it." I said smiling.
I guess I'll be fine, I mean he comes and goes a lot but I'll be fine, like always.. I guess.
We left the tree house and went back to my place.
I made dinner and watched Netflix.
"So, are you excited for the tour?" I asked sitting his plate down in front of him.
"Yeah, I guess." He said while eating.
Then we ate in silence and watched the movie being displayed I front of us.
After we ate he left since it was getting late.
The next morning I woke up and decided to be alone.
I mean one day alone won't be bad.. Right?
Wrong.
I thought about Shawn and only Shawn.
I was a mess.
He leaves for 6 months.. SIX.
That's half a FRICKING year.
How will I manage?.. God, I'm screwed.
I sat the whole day contemplating everything.
Why we have the sun, the moon, all the stars and WHY I SAID I WILL BE FINE WITH SHAWN LEAVING AGAIN.
I went to bed without eating or anything.
It was early but I need to be awake when Shawn leave.
Speaking of the devil, he sent me a text that said "Hey, I'll be at your place @6am don't forget!"
I replied "I won't.."
Then I rolled over and went to bed.
I woke up by Shawn shaking me..
"I'm up, let's go.." I said getting up and putting on my slides
"Might wanna redo your 'messy' bun" he said laughing
"Get in the damn car" I said
He laughed walking out to the car with this stuff.
I walked out to the car after fixing my bun and got in the drivers seat.
Shawn handed me my keys and I started the ignition.
We drove to the airport and now he's about to the leave and I'm a mess.
He hugged me whispering three empty words in my ear.. "I love you"
"Shawn, I actually love you. Anyways you have to go.. I'll see you when you get home.." I said hugging him.
He walked off stunned.
He meant as I friend.
I meant I loved him, like I actually loved him.
We didn't talk the whole 6 months he was gone.. It was like I had vanished form his life.
Today he was supposed to come home..
His mom took me with her to pick him up form the airport.
He got in the car and asked his mom "Who's in the back?"
My smile dropped and I started silently crying.
"Shawn, honey, do you actually not remember your best friend?" She asked
"No..? Mom, what are you talking about.." He asked
"Nothing." I said wiping my tears.
I asked his mom to pull over so I could get out of the car.
I walked the rest of the way home.
I cried the whole way there.
It was winter to the cold air nipped at every warm tear that hit my face.
When I got home I turned on Netflix and went to bed.
For the next 6 months Shawn never spoke to me.
Today I was at the mall, shopping for clothes.
My friend Kelsey was with me.
"How about this..?" I asked showing her a dress.
"It looks beautiful, (y/n)" someone said.. That someone was Shawn.
"(Y/n), do NOT turn around." Kelsey said
"I have to Kels." I said crying.
I turned around but I started at the floor.
"(Y/n), please look at me.." He begged
I looked up and saw his new girlfriend Camillia on his arm.
"Hi." I said weakly
"I'm sorry for not talking to you this past year. Can we please be friends again?" He asked me
"Uh, yeah, sure." I scoffed
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He scoffed
"WELL, YOU FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT ME FOR A YEAR.. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN?" I yelled crying.
"I AM SO FUCKING SORRY, FOR PUTTING MYSELF FIRST FOR ONCE." He yelled with his voice booming through out the whole store.
"Mhm, those three empty words sure meant a lot to me but nothing to you.." I cried
"Three empty words? What the hell are you talking about?" He scoffed again,
"At the airport. When I dropped you off a year ago, you said you loved me but you lied just like everyone else.." I said crying again.
"Whatever." He scoffed yet again
"Kels, let's go." I said
"(Y/n), wait please.." He asked
"WHAT?!" I yelled again "ARE YOU GONNA SAY YOU LOVE ME AGAIN THEN LEAVE? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I HAVE NOTHING. NO PARENTS, NO MONEY, NO ONE BESIDES KELS." I yelled again
"I'm sorry." He said sadly
"Mhm." I said
"(Y/n), c'mon let's leave before we get kicked out." Kels said
"Please, don't leave." Shawn said.
I turned around an faced him before saying "Three empty words." And leaving
I didn't care if I seemed like a bitch he had a girlfriend and he knows my past. He knew what those words would do to me..
Kels and I went to the movies.
We were about to sit down when she saw Shawn and Camillia lock lips.
We both darted out of there.
We went back to my house and watched Netflix and had a good time.
I saw Shawn made a tweet.
I read it.
"Three empty words, who knew three empty words would hurt so much."
Then I decided to make a tweet.
"Don't tell me three empty words then forget all about me. I'm not some toy, you knew what it would do. Thanks a lot."
Obviously his fans, my fans and mutual fans caught on.
Everyone was mad at him.
I didn't want that so I made a new tweet.
"He may have done some damage but he's moved on and so should I.."
Kels stayed with me, she was afraid I was gonna harm someone or myself.
I got up to get a drink of water when I noticed Camillia was in my backyard.
Wth.
I walked out and yelled "WHAT THE FUCK MAN?!"
She yelled "YOU STOLE SHAWN." Back at me
"WHATEVER." I yelled back ignoring that she was painting terrible words on my fence, such as "whore, slut & ect."
I ignored it and went back to Kels.
Kels called the cops but Camillia was gone.
I didn't wanna press charges.
I cried to Kels about everything that was wrong.
I have never opened up to someone more. Not even Shawn.
I was broken and my heart felt like it had shattered.
Kels took me to the hospital because I couldn't breathe at one point.
The doctor hooked me up to this machine.
Once I could breathe again he starts questioning me.
I answered liked nothing was wrong.
He prescribed me an inhaler and then we got to leave the hospital.
Kels got the inhaler and I had to use it whenever I needed it.
Kels and I started watching a sad movie and I started crying again.
She sat with me and took my phone when Shawn made another tweet,
It read "I'm sorry, can you forgive me.." I ignored it but Kels made a tweet for me that said "Maybe if you come over and we work things out"
Then he dmed me and said "Can I bring Camillia?"
I replied "Sure."
He was over in a matter of minutes.
Kelsey took Camillia outside while we talked.
"So.." He said
"What do you wanna resolve?" I said
"Everything.." He said
"Well, three empty words.. How would you feel if I did that to you then forgot about you for a year just to come back around had a boyfriend?" I said
"Like shit.." He said
"How do you think I feel?" I asked
"Good. You're fine. You have Kels." He said smiling
"I'm fine?" I scoffed "I got prescribed an inhaler because I couldn't breathe just thinking about how we used to be.. Not to mention your girlfriend fucking vandalized my fence calling me a Whore, slut and other terrible names." I said crying.
"If you call that fine, then I'm perfect." I said again
"I'm sorry." He said crying..
"I have to go.." He said getting up. Camillia was already gone.. Shocker.
"I love you, I really do." He said leaving.
"THREE EMPTY FUCKING WORDS" I yelled crying and throwing a vase at him as he shut the door.
"(Y/N), PLEASE STOP!" Kels said
I hugged her and cried.
The only thing I whispered was "three empty fucking words," she nodded her head and hugged me.
I knew she had to leave today so she hugged me and said "Promise me you won't do anything stupid?" Holding out her pinky.
I locked pinkies with her and said "of course."
She left and then I really broke down..
I grabbed my keys and drove up a huge spiral rode.
I was speeding and crying.
The road was about to come to an end.
I stopped the car half way down the hill and turned on my favorite song "Three empty words"
I grabbed a sheet of paper form a spare notebook I always keep in my car for some reason.
Then I wrote "Three empty words. I. Love. You. You lied, you loved her. Don't ever tell someone you love them when you don't. I. Love. You. Those three empty words ended my life. Tell Shawn I love him. Three empty words."
Then once the song was over I out on the song "skinny love." By birdy and called Kels and said "goodbye" then hung up.
I tuned the car back on and went down the hill a little bit before flooring it and going over the edge.
Then I saw black.
Third person P.O.V:
Shawn and everyone else found out on the news.
When the news reporters read the note everyone was shooken up.
Three empty words could kill someone.
Never say them unless you truly mean them.
