This Can't Be// Shawn Mendes

It's all about you

*Luke's POV*

We got everyone to back away, the guys and I huddled around Macky "We gotta get her to a hospital, now. Nash, Luke carry her to your car. Luke keep an eye on her and take her to Seton. I'll take everyone else in my car" Cameron said telling us what to do.

Taylor patted my shoulder as I picked her up bridal style "I'll meet you guys there, I need to get everyone out first. Take care of her, man, she's like our baby sister." Woah, was that like a blessing. Shawn walked over to me and opened up his arms to carry her.

"It's fine, I got her" I headed to Nash's car and put her in the back. Then Shawn got in the backseat with her, whatever.

"Let's go. What do you think happen? She was just fine when we were drinking" Nash said. I shrugged and looked back, Shawn was tearing up and I looked at Nash. "We'll figure this out later" he started up the car and we headed to the hospital about 10 minutes away.

"She hasn't been eating good, I know that. I basically force fed her when I was taking her home after school. I don't think she really been eating good, maybe that" I said. I looked at Macky as Shawn had her pulled close to her. I imagined that was me holding her in the backseat and making sure she was okay.

I stopped and stared out the window thinking about everything. Macky. She's is cute, funny, good personality, athletic, and finds a light in darkness. She's my dream girl. I looked at the mirror and my quiff was all messed up and pushed down to the side. We were all quiet in the car until we pulled up to the emergency. I hopped out my seat and opened the back door "I got her" Shawn said getting out his seat and having to go around. What the hell?

"Pick her up, Luke. We don't have time for Shawn being protective. Over what Luke? He could barely kill a bug without feeling bad" Nash said. I picked up Macky and ran into emergency with them following me.

A doctor looked at me "She passed out at a party. She was fine, but then she just passed out about 10 minutes later" I said. He nodded and they rolled a stretcher in and I laid her down.

"Can you fill this out?" he handed me a clip board with patient information and Shawn grabbed it before I could. "Are one of you the boyfriend?"

"I am, Shawn" I looked at Shawn like he was crazy. She could barely stand you this morning. "When could I see her?" Shawn asked while filling it out.

"We have to run some test first, check her vital signs, admit her to a room, then you could. Maybe within the next 30-60 minutes at most. We'll call you in when you could see her" the doctor took the clip board and walked away.

I sat down with the guys and some of their girlfriends. "So you and Macky are dating?" Taylor blurted out. I looked at Shawn and he was quiet "I'm talking to you Mendes. If you were her boyfriend take better care of her then, you can't even apologize to her. Man the hell up" Taylor started to raise his voice and we all flinched. He never gets this mad, Taylor is the happy go lucky guy.

There were all kinds of vibes in the air. It was mostly stressful, but weird thing was that Janessa kept her distance from Cameron and Shawn couldn't even look at Cameron. Taylor was heated and ready to kill someone, Nash and Matt laid back relaxed themselves. " 'Cause I messed up okay? I can't fix what I did, all I know is that being around her slows down time. I'm falling for her and it's killing me" Shawn said looking at us, then going outside.

We all looked at each other and no one went to talk to Shawn, but Janessa. We just went on our phones killing time "Does anyone know what happened?" Matt asked. We all shook our heads in return, slumped down in my seat and looked at the ceiling.

"Mackenzie McCoy" my head shot up and I stood up "She's in room 604, I'll take you there." Matt went outside to get Shawn and Janessa, but only Shawn came back. Well this is really weird. We all headed to an elevator "So basically Mackenzie passed out from dehydration. Not enough water and the alcohol she's been drink is absorbing whatever water she had left in her cells and blood, so when she needed the extra oxygen her body couldn't support her with it needed. It could be from rushing herself while dehydrated and the lack of food."

We nodded "Why would she be rushing herself so much to that limit?" Nash asked.

"That's what I need to ask her when she wakes up" we got out the elevator and the nurse lead us to the room "She'll be fine overall, make sure she's eating regularly and hydrated. Call me when she wakes up with this phone and the number is on the board."

We all took a seat on the couch, chairs, or the ground waiting. Shawn leaned against the wall just staring at Macky, she had an IV connected to her, an oxygen mask over her mouth and nose, and a blanket covering her.

*Shawn's POV*

"I'm gonna go and get some gifts for when she wakes up. Wanna come? Kill some time" I asked Taylor since he was only one up. He nodded and we walked the room to the gift shop. Just say it. "I love Macky" I said quickly, Taylor looked at me and froze. "I don't know if I love her, but I'm crazy about her. It's killing me not being able to talk to her or anything. Everything is going downhill, problem on top of problem. Macky hates me and I can't live with myself while she hates me."

Taylor sighed and we kept walking "Dude, you guys known each other for years. She won't hate you forever, what's the worst that you could do?"

"First I got jealous when Luke was talking with her, then I called the police on her mom and she's not getting out in a while, and I was drunk and was second base with a girl and Macky walked in... That's when Macky ran out the room, that's how she ended up here" I said looking down.

Taylor just shook his head at me "Tell me this is a joke? Dude, you can't just lead her on like that. Macky isn't some toy you could just throw around, who the hell was the girl? If you 'love' Macky why did you kiss the girl?"

"I'm not leading her on, I care about her. Okay? Could you just help me please?" I asked Taylor. He scoffed and went in the gift shop looking for stuff. "Tay-"

Taylor cut me off before I could even finish "No, Shawn. You're fixing this yourself, I'm not helping you. It doesn't matter how drunk or horny you were or how hot the girl was, you should've stopped it once it happened. You're not only playing Macky, but your playing yourself. You don't love Macky, save the time and just be friends. Make this apology big." Taylor walked passed me hitting my shoulder with his.

I followed him back to the room and tears were falling from my eyes. A nurse walked out the room "Mackenzie is awake now. We're just going to keep her here for about a week to get her healthy again." We nodded and walked into the room.

Luke and Matt sat at the foot of the bed facing Macky, Cameron was next to her watching TV, Nash and Taylor sat on the sides watching. "Hey..." I sent her a light smile, she looked at me and her eyes were puffy and red. She cried over me. Macky was just staring at me, no smile, no words, nothing. It was like I was a stranger to her.
