Shawn Mendes Imagines

Christmas

Shawn's POV

I stood in front of my work as I waited to cross the street. It was Christmas (I had to come to work to give my co-workers presents) and I had to hurry to my mother's house for Christmas dinner. The sun was starting to set as it got even colder along with the snow falling from the sky. I ran across the street to the parking lot after the coast was clear. But then I noticed something.

A girl, my age I would assume, sitting under one of the parking garages' roof. I looked to my car that was to my left, then to the girl on my right. I glanced at my watch. I wasn't too late. I saw her sitting there in a hood with a blanket wrapped around her with a book. She didn't look like she belonged here. I walked over. She glanced up with big (your color) eyes. She scooted back some, afraid.

"Hi. Merry Christmas," I smiled.

Your POV

I looked at confused at the guy. Why was he talking to me. I closed my copy of The Westing House, which was a twisted mystery set in the 50's that I stole from the library. But this was my favorite book. And it was the only thing I have ever stole.

"You look like you're cold. Would you like a jacket?" He asked. I shook my head. What is he doing? "Well it's Christmas. No one deserves to be in the cold alone," Well of course no one does but for two years this has been my life. Cold and alone.... I didn't reply. He just stood and thought a second. Then spoke again. "Do you have a home?" He asked.

"Why are you here?" I asked lightly.

"Because. I am not stupid. I can tell you probably don't have a home or family to go to. When was the last time you ate, be honest,"

"Couple of days," I grimaced, humiliated at myself.

"Now its Christmas. Its about spreading joy. Why don't you come to my moms house. We have a big dinner and play games. It would be fun," He said.

"What's your name,"

"Shawn,"

"Y/N,"

"You have a pretty name," I blushed.

"Thank you,"

"Now come on. I'm not a murder," He smiled. It wasn't creepy like in movies or conceded. It was pure. True happiness. I debated my options.

Then I followed him.

His house was big. At least the biggest one I have ever been in. I started to get self conscious. I couldn't change so I was still in my hood and jeans (which thankfully just got cleaned so they didn't look too bad). My hair was a mess though. Shawn had a comb in his car for some reason though so I fixed myself up. We walked in to be met by his big family. This was weird. I have never done this before. My parents weren't the best ones. And we didn't have enough money for Christmas most the time. And well now they are both gone. Bastards.

"Hello Shawn. Who is this?" A women asked, she was really pretty.

"Mom. This is my friend Y/N. I decided to bring her to Christmas with us," He sounded so casual. Like I was not a hobo off the street.

"Hello Y/N. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you. You are really pretty," I smiled.

"Thank you. She is a keeper Shawn," She winked. His cheeks turned fast and I let out a chuckle. I like his family. I like this. I used to hate Christmas. Simply because I never got it. There was a whole family sitting around the table. Turkey and other food was spread out around the table. I was at awe. And jealous. Should I be jealous? I never got this as a kid. Never. I watched movies where people got there. But this was different. This is my first time at Christmas and I don't even know any of these people. Shawn pulled out a chair for me and I sat. They all kind of glanced at me weirdly. Mainly because they never have heard of me before tonight. I have shook hands and greeted them all. But I was the random friend. I was the random homeless girl to Shawn. I had good talk with his mom. It didn't matter though as she would never see me again. We sat and ate.

Oh my guacamole I have never ate such a great meal.

I swear the night got better and better. But it got worse and worse because I realized I don't have this and I won't again.

We all sat around the tree as gift exchange came around. I sat and watched smiling at the beautiful occasion. This was amazing. That's when something was put into my lap. I looked down. A box in wrapping paper with Y/N written. I cocked my head to the side and looked at Shawn.

"What's this?"

"You came to dinner but Shawn never told us you were coming. We couldn't let you not have a present though! So I had Shawn hurry to the store real quick" His mom beamed happily. I smiled. When did Shawn ever leave? I must have been socializing and never noticed. I glanced at Shawn who gave me a warm smile. My heart felt so warm. My stomach has butterflies. I felt loved. A feeling I haven't had in a while. Shawn told me to open it and I did.

It was beautiful.

It was a necklace that had a heart with red crystals inside.

It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I felt tears gather in my eyes.

"Its amazing. Thank you I-I love it," I gasped. I turned and hugged Shawn super tight as everyone clapped. I started to cry. Shawn broke the hug barely and looked at me.

"You deserve it you are a amazing girl," He whispered. I smiled.

"Mistletoe!" Me and Shawn looked up to see Aaliyah holding up a mistletoe smirking. I laughed and so did Shawn. He looked at me. Wait really?

"Wait you do?"

"Well yeah. Why wouldn't I take this time to kiss a gorgeous lady,"He said charmfully.

"Then why aren't you," I grinned. And then we kissed.

And we were forever together. And I never got rid of the necklace or the memory.

A/N

Happy Holidays! I hope you all have (or had for some) a great time with friends or family and spread the joy!
