Y/N's POV:
Flashback

"I'll be back." He says, kissing my forehead. I sniffle and wipe another tear away.

"Yeah, in ten months." I pull my sweater sleeves over my hands.

"I'll still be back, Princess. I love you."

End of flashback

"Y/N, come on. Shawn'll be back in like ten minutes." My little sister tugs at my arm as I adjust my blue sweater again.

"Hold on Y/S/N." I complain, bending down to slide on my gray Uggs. She hits my side lightly to get me to stand up.

"Hold up!" I raise my voice a little, returning to my standing position. The second I look up and make eye contact with her, she bolts out of my room. Shawn has become like an older brother to her.

"Be safe, Y/N." My mom calls from the kitchen. If she didn't have a work meeting she would have come with us to meet Shawn.

Time lapse to when they are at the airport

Screams come from behind the barriers as he comes out of the terminal. Excitement bubbles up inside of me as he looks past all the girls to me. He smiles, but it's different. Not the Shawn who left me.

Y/S/N squeals from beside me and goes running towards him, barreling into him at full
speed. He chuckles and wraps his arms around her, bending down and kissing her on the forehead. I begin to walk towards them and the girls scream even louder once I reach him. He releases Y/S/N and holds his arms out to me as tears begin to well up in my eyes.

"C'mere, Y/N." He says lightly. I fall into his arms, inhaling his cologne, something I have missed for about eleven months. I'm kind of bothered about the fact that he used my name, 'princess' like he used to say, but I just brush it off.

"I missed you so much." I cry into his coat. He strokes my hair before I move back, slightly expecting him to bend down and kiss me. But he doesn't. He only releases me and continues to move on to the luggage claim, Y/S/N and I right behind him.

"Shawn, are you okay?" I ask. He seems off, but the second I ask him this question, he gives me the look he always gives me when I ask him a question on the fly.

"I'm perfectly fine! Why?" He replies. I twist my mouth up in confusion, but I don't respond.

He's lying to me.

Andrew is standing at the baggage claim with Shawn's bags, having come out of the terminal a couple minutes earlier than Shawn. And when I first met him when he came out and gave me a hug, he seemed off as well. Maybe it's just tour.

We walk out of the airport in silence, until we reached the cars, where we sorted out who is riding with who. Shawn chose to ride with Andrew in their car. With a little more collaboration, we decide to stop off on the way back to my apartment to get some food.

Y/S/N and I ride in silence until we reach the exit onto the highway, behind Shawn.

"He was acting weird." She pipes up from the passenger seat. The fact that she noticed it too makes me want to cry. She never pays attention to the way someone is acting, unless its drastic. A knot forms in the back of my throat as I choke back tears, and my knuckles turn white from how hard I'm gripping the steering wheel.

"I know." I choke out. He didn't act like this last time he got back from tour. Y/S/N knows not to push any farther. In no time, we are pulling off the interstate to go get food. I follow the guys in front of me into the parking lot of Burger King, and after we crowd out of the cars, I send Andrew and Y/S/N on in, stopping Shawn.

"Shawn, I know something is wrong. Why aren't you talking to me? You haven't kissed me, you chose to ride with Andrew and not me. What is going on?" I ask. He rubs the back if his neck. Suddenly, it all makes sense.

"I-uh." He stutters. Tears fill my eyes, but I
don't look away from his dark brown eyes.

"Tell me the truth, Shawn. Did you lose your feelings for me over tour?" My voice shakes. He looks down at the ground.

And instantly, I can feel him slipping away.
