Shawn Mendes Imagines

Time ✔️

You and Shawn have been dating for about a year and you were really happy. Keywords: were really happy. Because lately, things had changed, in a negative way. And you weren't happy anymore.

When you first found out about Shawn, he wasn't the famous "Shawn Mendes", he was just the boy who posted Vines of himself singing and playing his guitar. He was goofy, giddy, happy and thoughtful. You met him at the small M&G in your town and after reaching out on Instagram, you guys began talking more. You gave him your number and started to call and text all the time. This resulted in him eventually asking you out and it was all great from there. Until now.

Unfortunately, things had changed because he's not the Shawn you met anymore. He's been so busy making his new music that he hasn't time for you. You've tried to be supportive, knowing you only want the best for him and his career but, you can't stand it anymore.

Your mom just asked if you and Shawn wanted to go out to eat dinner with her since she's in town for the weekend. So, you send a text to Shawn that says "Hey baby, my mom asked us to meet her at Sheppards for dinner at 6:30. What time can you get back?"

You checked your phone multiple times over the next hour but he wasn't replying. Finally, after about 30 more minutes, he responds with "Hi baby. I'm really sorry, I'm busy with the album so I don't think I'll able to eat with you and your mom. See you later. I love you".

You sigh sadly and get ready alone and head to the restaurant where your mom was waiting for you. You see her sitting alone and walk over. "Hey mom. Shawn isn't here because he's busy with his album but he says he's sorry he couldn't make it!" You say as you hug her. She hugs you back and whispers "Don't worry honey, I know he's a man on demand. But, are you okay?". "Yes momma, don't worry" you say with a reassuring smile. You order your food and catch up with your mom. It really helps because you feel like you finally have someone to talk to. When you and Shawn decided to move in together, you had to leave everyone. It was what was best for his career, and you lived and supported him enough to make the sacrifice. But it came with loneliness. You wish you knew this was what'd it'd be like.

You get back home around 8 but Shawn isn't there. 'Still in the studio' you think but he suddenly opens the front door as you're walking upstairs.

"Hey baby. Did you have a good time?" You turn away your head so you don't look at him and wipe away your tears. "Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?" he asks lifting your chin. You pull his hand away and stand up from the couch where you were sitting and walk into your room.

He follows you and asks "are you mad at me because I couldn't come with you? I'm so sor-" but you cut him off, take a deep breath and say "It's not today, or at least not only today. I'm tired Shawn. I'm not happy anymore. We're not the same, we barely talk and you're always busy with the music. We never get to have any time together."

He opens his mouth forming a O shape and mutters "Wh- what are you talking about? Making music is my job and ok, maybe we're not spending as much time together as we used to but couldn't you at least stop being selfish and be happy for me instead? I'm doing what I love."

"It's not being selfish. I'm happy for you, for your music and for your career. But I'm not happy with our relationship. I think it's better for us if we break up or at least take some time to figure out what we want to come out of this." you say with teary eyes. He looks at you in disbelief before saying "What? No, please don't." He couldn't hold in his tears at this point.

"Shawn baby, listen. I'm gonna pack my things and go stay at a hotel for a bit. I just need some time. I have to think about this. I really love you Shawn but I can't stand being in a one sided relationship anymore" you say sadly. Before packing your stuff, you give him one last kiss on the cheek and he tries to hold you but you pull away.

*A few weeks later*

You miss him like crazy. You barely talk to your friends, barely sleep, barley eat. He's been texting and calling you but you don't answer. You can't think rationally when you hear his voice and you want a clear mind for a big decision like this.

You continue to watch all of his performances and interviews, which shows you how hurt he is by the temporary split. Even when he's singing, he's not the same Shawn. The fans have noticed too. You constantly get DM's and tweets asking what's going on. But, how can you respond? "Sorry, it's my fault." You can't. That would make things worse.

"Can I come over so we can talk? I need to see you. Please?" Shawn texts and you finally decide to reply "Yes, I need to talk to you too".
"Perfect, I'll be there in 10. I've missed you baby" he texts.

You smile but don't respond.

You're in your room listening to music when you hear a knock on your door so you get up to open it.

"Can I come in?" Shawn asks leaning against the door frame.

You simply smile and mumble "Come in".

He sits next to you and you can tell he's holding back on reaching for you. You stay like this for about 5 minutes trying to figure out what to say. Finally, you state "I've missed you Shawn. I'm so sor-" but he cuts you off and whispers "No, no, no. I'm the only one who should say sorry. It's my fault. I was too busy with my music but I've realized that I was an idiot because I was losing the most important thing in my life, you. So please, forgive me. I'd do anything to fix this. I don't want to lose you."

You lean into him and cry into his chest as he comforts you. Then you speak "Shawn, I've missed you so much. But, it was also my fault. I was being selfish, but this split helped me realize 100% that you're the one for me. I don't care if we don't spend a ton of time together, at least I'm with you. At least you still will come home and love me. That's all I need."

He leans down to kiss you and when you try to pull away he stays still holding you in his arms "Let's just forget about this. I promise, I'll spend as much time with you as I can. But promise me that you won't leave like this again. I can't do this again."

You smile kissing his cheek and agree with him
"Definitely. I wouldn't be able to stand being away from you again. You're my moose."

"Umm baby, it's muse" says Shawn with a chuckle.

"No I like moose" you say with a pout.

"Whatever you want baby." He says with a smile and kisses your forehead.

This is how it's meant to be.
