--JUST FRIENDS--
Camilas POV
"My little sister is growing up and I can't be there to watch it" I said to myself. I took a deep breath and walked into the recording studio. With Dinah and Normani. Ally and Lauren were still on their way. "What's wrong Mila?" Dinah said, and I quickly flinched. "Nothing," I lied. Before Dinah could say anything our manager told us to get into the little rooms -where we record- for the "5H2." I walked in and put on my headphones, Dinah and Normani got into the ones next to mine and we started messing with the notes. I couldn't hit the high note, as many times as I tried, it just didn't come out, "I think I'm getting sick" I said to our manager, as I placed my hand over my throat.
"Alright, um Camila you aren't going to record today, we will just record for the other girls, don't stress, and don't sing that high note, it will just make your throat worse. Don't sing. Just go home and take a day or two off, and I will make sure to call a vocalist Doctor." "Okay, thanks Stephen" I took my things and grabbed my phone to call my parents.

My dad came to pick me up and we drove home, he said to me "You aren't going out on these two days. Got it Camila?" "Okay" I wasn't planning to anyways. "When we get home I will tell your mom to make you some hot chocolate, and you get some rest okay?" "Yeah"
---next day--

I checked my phone as I went downstairs to watch some Harry Potter because, why not. And I saw a tweet mention that was blowing up my phone.

@/ShawnMendes: Hope you feel better @/camilacabello97 💕 see you later x

I saw the comments and my fans were so sweet. I tweeted him back saying

@/camilacabello97: SHAWNY BOY thanks! means a lot. see u tonight !! ❤️

I actually forgot he was coming to Miami. But he is the only person that truly understands me and what I'm going through besides the girls.

I hear a knock on the door and it's Shawn. It's actually not nighttime it's 7 am but hey he's here! I forgot to tell my parents so my mom comes down asking me why I didn't tell her. "I completely forgot, sorry mama" "Mija tu sabes que no los gusta que no los digas quién vas a invitar. (you know that we don't like it when you don't tell us who you're inviting)." "Look I'm not mad at you, just tell us next time."

"Okay mama" I tell her.

"And Sofi really wanted to go shopping WITH YOU" she exclaims. "But I'm going to take her now." She said disappointingly.

"I didn't know." I said

"Well when you go upstairs don't close the door, and don't do anything-"

"Mama! I won't, Shawn and I are just friends" I whispered

My mom left with Sofi, that's leaving Shawn and I alone. We went up stairs, into my room with his backpack and guitar. "So you didn't tell your mom that I was coming?"

"I forgot." I mumbled. Touching my elbow. "But we're fine now."

I didn't really notice how Shawns eyes were sparkling, with light brown color in them, until now. I noticed how when he smiled at me, the whole world stopped and it was just me and him. His cheeks were really white but when I seemed to be in the room, they would turn pinkish-red. His hair, his hair is just perfect. His face perfectly unblemished. And his voice, is so unique and established, it's raspy, yet angel - like.

Shawns POV
I sat down on Camilas bed and we just looked at each other. I got a call and the staring stopped. The volume on my phone was really loud, because when I answered Camila seemed to know who it was. "Hi" Laur said, I smiled and looked the other way. "Hey" I haven't talked to Laur since I left Canada. Which was 4 weeks ago. "I miss you Shawny how are you?" She asked.

"I'm good, how are you doing?"

"Good, hey are you busy?" She curiously said.

"Um no not really why?"

"Are you planning on going to prom next week?"

"Absolutely" I smiled.

"Well do you have a date?"

"No. No I haven't asked anybody yet" I told her, "Do you have a date?"

"No I don't," she said

"I was actually planning to ask you before I left. Do you wanna be my date?" I said I forgot Camila was in the room, I turned to look at her and she was with her arms crossed. She showed absolutely no emotion. She was looking around the room.

"Um.." I thought she was going to say no "Sure!" She said over the line. "See you in a week" I said the same and we hung up. Camila sighed silently, but not too silently because I heard her.
