He Chose Me.Shawn Mendes

9| hugs and lies

Shawn's POV

It's driving me crazy not seeing Elle. Especially when I know she is at some other guys house supposedly doing an assignment. It's not that I don't trust Elle because I do. I mean she won't do anything. At least I hope she wouldn't. It's him. Cody.

'Dude you ok?' Jack asks as he enters my room with a armful of supplies.

I realise I am staring into space holding a book that I am meant to be reading for an English assignment. Being homeschooled sort of sucks sometimes especially when most of my friends go to a normal public school. It's my mom's idea to really help my music career set off.

'It's Elle. She's at another guys house and...' I drift off throwing my book on my bed, not really knowing how to explain that I may be slightly jealous without sounding like a total overprotective boyfriend.

'....and your worried about what they might be doing?' Jack finishes my sentence giving me a knowing look. He places all our food supplies on the counter and collapses on my bed beside me.

'Yeah I guess' I sigh shoving my head into a pillow.

'Just as long as they aren't in the guys bedroom, I can't imagine what would be happening if they were I mean..' Jack says smirking.

'What!' I say looking up suddenly from my pillow giving him a glare.

'Man I'm just kidding!' Jack snorts 'Why don't you call her?'

Elle's POV

*Buzzzz* *Buzzzz*
I feel the vibration of my phone in my pocket
Thank God. A distraction.

I lift out my phone from my back pocket to see Shawn's ID pop up. I can feel Cody's eyes on me as I look at my phone.

'Is everything ok?' Cody asks looking concerned.

'Uh yeah, listen I'm so sorry but I can't do this right now. Something has come up' I stand up and start to pack away my things.

Cody's eyes my phone then looks up at me.
'Oh ok'

'You know what you have to do right? Just the diagram and I will write up the results?' I say giving him a smile of reassurance.

He nods and smiles back. ' Yes, will do. Elle are you sure everything's ok?'

'Couldn't be better! Bye Cody' I nod at him and walk out of his room.

I manage to find my way to the door of his mansion of a house. I open the door to find that it was raining. Heavily. The sky was a grey-black and the rumble of clouds filled the air.
I shiver and call Shawn back.

'Hi Shawn? Yeah I nneed you' I say loudly over the thunder.
'Hey, are you alright? Where are you!' I hear a crackly concerned Shawn reply.
'Yeah I'm fine, c-can you pick me up? At the t-top of Hazel Avenue?' I shiver chattering my teeth.
'Of course! But why are you there?' Shawn replies. I hear the rustle of keys and a door slam in the background.
'I'll explain later, love you bye!' I manage to get out.

The wind howls in my ears as I make my way up Cody's street. My hair is soaking wet and stuck to my face. I hug my soaked jacket as I tilt my head down to somewhat shelter myself from the rain.

5 minutes later, I see a figure walking towards me. I squint to see they are wearing a grey hoodie that is pulled up around their face with white converse. Shawn.

I run towards him. He lifts his head and grins at me. I run into his arms that are open wide for me.

I hold him tightly burrowing my head in his chest. His arms wrap around me causing me to feel at ease. Feel safe.
I look up at him.
