The party ended with everyone becoming wasted. Gigi and Zayn went to a guest room. Nicole and Jack slept in her old room and Luke, Jack J, And Matt shared another room.
Shawn was currently helping Camila clean the place up because the two weren't that drunk. But there was an awkward silence and Camila didn't like it one bit. Sadly, she couldn't start small talk because everyone knows, small talk is the worst.
After the place was cleaned, Shawn actually spoke up for once but asked for some Advil because he started to get a headache. Going to the kitchen, she started looking through the cabinets to find Advil. Opening up the last one, Camila found it but it wasn't at her reach. Sighing, she tip toed, trying to get it. Fingers brushing over the bottle, she suddenly felt someone push up against her.
Heat rose up to Camila's cheeks as Shawn grabbed the bottle himself. Instead of just moving away and grabbing water, he just stayed like how he was. Pressed up against Camila while his hand still stayed up, holding the bottle that was caged in the cabinet still.
But after a minute, he quickly moved away and grabbed water, taking some Advil and just leaving his cup after drinking it and swallowing the pill down. Camila regained her composure and sighed afterwards.
Thinking Shawn would leave, he just sat down on her single couch, looking at Camila who decided to fixate some hot chocolate. Nothing can go wrong if there is a cup of hot coco in someone's hand.
Being a generous person, she made another cup for Shawn, making heart shapes out of the whipped cream for each cup and then walking to him in a steady pace with the cups in her hand. She reached out the hand with his cup and he gladly took it, mumbling out a thank you. Smiling at that, she went to the L shaped couch, sitting down.
Minutes passed and it was just silent. The two didn't talk at all, just glance at each other here and there. But finally, gathering up the courage to talk, Shawn opened his mouth before Camila.
"So, explain more about why you celebrated surviving?"
Drinking another sip of the hot, yet delicious flavored coco, she placed the cup down and started off explaining. "As you may be well aware, I was in a coma for 7 months," He nodded and Camila continued, "Well, through those 7 months, I basically had a 7 month dream about me and a guy, Jack G, my sister, and.. other people."
"So, you were like sleeping beauty?" Chuckling at that, she replied with a nod.
"You can say that. But anyways, this guy I dreamed about was just perfect. He was my everything. I met him in my dream on instagram. But he was famous, very famous. Someone with 50 million followers. I was just a fangirl, blinded by one sided love. Soon, that one sided love became real, in person. I met him and fell harder in love. But it was soon showed that he didn't love me. He was using me to cover up tracks for murdering my sister," Shawn stopped drinking his coco and said, "Sounds like a dramatic movie."
"Yeah. Anyways, I found out that his original plan was to hurt me and break me with my so called friend. He turned out to be a psychopath, my 'friend.' But time passed and the guy did fall in love with me. He called off the plan with that psycho but the crazy man continued. I forgave him and we enjoyed the months together. We went out a lot, cuddled 24/7, even had intimate moments but we never did it in my dream. A couple weeks later, we had a gathering and.. the psycho appeared. He did things to my sister who I found out was alive months before."
Shawn was actually intrigued, he was listening. Elbows on his knees and palms holding his head up.
"The bitch decided to go on a murder spree and well, I just ended up in a black room after that. And the same guy came to save me from that black room that was actually leading me to my death. And I woke up after that. Reality hit me once I found out he wasn't real." Tears started to brim Camila's eyes. Talking about all this to the man who says he doesn't know her, to the man that looks exactly like the one Camila loved in her dream hurt because if she said it's him, he'd think Camila is crazy.
"Jack and Nicole told me he never existed. They knew nothing of him and my heart broke." Shawn noticed she was going to cry soon since she bit her lip and Camila's eyes seemed glossier. He stood up and sat next to her, hesitantly rubbing her arm.
"But when I got discharged, I found him. I found the guy who meant so much to me in that 7 month dream." Shawn stopped rubbing her arm as Camila turned and looked into his eyes.
"The Guy I loved and still have feelings for, even though it was only in a dream, is alive and I found him. But-" She suddenly stopped, not wanting to continue. But he wanted to know more.
"But what?"
"But he said that I had the wrong person." Shawn's hand dropped from holding her arm. "And I followed him like a creepy girl for six months. Luck was on my side today because I ran into him today with a group of people I knew in my dream."
Shawn knew exactly who she was talking about. And instead of calling her crazy and just feeling weirded out, he felt scared.
Taking in a breath, Camila finally said the name of the guy who he already knew. Who she already knew that he knew.
"His name was Shawn Mendes in my dream. But now is Shawn Rayment."
