Letting go. || Shawn Mendes

S e v e n || pt. 1

Next day
• Shawn's Pov •

I woke up in an unfamiliar place. Her room.

I tried to get up but felt a weight on me.

She looks so peaceful.

Her eyes softly closed and hair messily in her face.

Wait... She has a smile. She's smiling in her sleep. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I close my eyes for a while. Just until she wakes up.
•.•.

I feel someone twisting and turning in my arms. I open one eye and I see her.

I reach over to the night stand to grab my phone. My eyes widen at the time.

5:39pm my phone reads. I woke up at 11:43am and was supposed sleep for like an hour.

She still looks like she is in a deep sleep. I get up carefully and cover her up with the blanket and place a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.

I doubt she's had any sleep in the past month.

• 9:35pm that day •

"Hey" I faintly heard.

"Well, good morning."

"Ha ha, Funny Shawn. What time is it?"

"9:37"

"Well, we have school tomorrow and I should get to bed. Goodnight."

I quickly run In front of her and hold her by the waist.

She looks startled but smiled quickly after.

"You just slept for 16 hours straight. You're really going to leave me again?" I say being sure to pout my lips after.

"Hmmm, well we have school. What am I supposed to do? Stay up? On a school night? I'm a good girl remember?" She lets out a faint giggle after.

I don't reply with words, but instead I pull her by her hands and lead her over to the couch.

The usual just watching tv and casual talking took place for about an hour. We finally decided to watch a Movie.

Half way in between it I noticed that she was staring at me, but I made sure not to give her my attention.

• Her Pov •

The movie had gotten a little boring and my eyes wandered the room for something better. Him.

My eyes stayed focused on him. Admiring his features. The way the movie was reflecting off his eyes... It made them sparkle. Shine like the true star he is.

"Staring at me won't do anything."

"Who said I was staring?"

"Look, I know I'm hot but you're missing the movie."

He smirked.

He finally looked down at me. Our eyes had met.

No they didn't twitch to any other object in the room.

To me he was the only one in there.

Seems to me that we always find ourselves in this position.

I'm not sure why but when we do this, it's as if we are speaking.

Yes speaking through our eyes, and it seems to be the only way we can open up to each other.

This time.

This time it's different. I'm not hiding anything from him because at this moment I have nothing to hide.

You can look into my eyes and see the light shining through.

But with him...I can't see anything.

It's black and burnt.

I try to look deeper, but I had gotten lost. I'm not sure what's happening but I just see myself In a room full of nothing. Nothing but darkness. Not an inch of light. Not a ray to be seen. I'm running and I'm searching but I feel like I'm stuck.

I give up.
