If You Were Mine

XXIX. Bright stars

Lately you've been having so many issues with studies and with mental health that things started to get so messy in your life
You started to go to bed late, wake up late, have everything unfinished and untidy and behave oddly with the people around you even though that was the last thing you would want to do, since some of them mean the world to you...

And that's also the reason why you stayed up till 2AM last night and you're running late to school right now

Mom: Y/N breakfast is ready, hurry up!

Y/N: Mom I'm too late I don't have time to eat now

Mom: Honey you have been skipping breakfast everyday! You know that's not good for your health...I don't want you to fall sick again...

You ran into the kitchen and back hugged your mom placing a gentle kiss on her cheek

She has been noticing your struggles and she's been trying to help you in every possible way with no result but disappointment and fear of losing her only loving daughter

Y/N: No worries mom,I promise I won't get sick, kay? How about I'll get something from the bakery on my way to school?

Mom: Okay darling, do you have money?

Y/N: I do mumma, no worries, now gimme a smiley smile I'm running latee

Your mom looked at you and smiled after kissing you on the forehead

After saying bye to your mom you headed downstairs and your mind got blurred by millions of thoughts:
You always try to keep your problems to yourself and not to show it to the people around you as you don't want to ruin their mood or the joyful atmosphere that roams around...
but it didn't go unnoticed to you how much your mom has been worrying about you lately and you couldn't actually do anything to fix that because on one hand it's scientifically impossible to hide things from your mother and on the other hand your situation didn't seem to improve so there was no chance you could assure her saying that you're doing better

All these dark thoughts were darkening your mind so deeply that for a while you forgot where you were and what you were walking into and in no time you found yourself bumping into a tall, handsome boy.

X: Oh hey there! Good morning!

It was Shawn, the boy next door. He moved to the apartment in front of yours just a couple of months ago and his mesmerizing hazel brown eyes and soft curls certainly didn't go unnoticed to you...honestly you have even started crushing over him if that doesn't sound too exaggerated

Y/N: Uhm hey Shawn, I'm so sorry I-

S: It's okay, no worries, are you okay?

Y/N: Oh yeah yeah, I'm just running late for school

S: I can give you a ride if you're okay with it, I'm driving to the train station to pick up a friend of mine and I could easily drop you to school on the way

Y/N: Oh no no pls I don't want to bother you, I'm fine I'll take the bus

S: You will never be able to get there on time if you take the bus, and either way it's no bother to me! You're coming with me okay?!

Y/N: No really Shawn I'll manag-

S: C'mon get into the car!

You couldn't say anything further as you knew he wouldn't listen so you just gave up.

The whole ride was quiet and you killed the time focusing on the view out of the car window until you reached the destination and Shawn stopped the car

S: Aand we're here!
