A Little Too Much | Shawn Mendes (COMPLETED)

31 | Moment of Truth

Allie's POV;

Thankfully, things at school get better. I learn not to let the rumors bother me. They're just rumors, and if kids choose to believe them, no matter how inaccurate and ridiculous they are, then it's their time being wasted. I know the truth, and that's finally enough.

Shawn's career has been taking off as well, and he's going away for longer and longer at a time. I'm anxious to graduate high school in hopes of being able to tour with him. We'll see.

"So, have you applied to any colleges yet?" Faith asks Kelly and I at lunch. We try to hide our guilty smiles as we both shake our heads, and Faith scoffs. She's the "together" one of us three.

"Guys! We graduate in two months! How could you not have applied to any colleges yet?!" As she continues to lecture us about college and how serious this is and whatever, I get a text from Shawn. He just arrived home from touring yesterday, and he was gone for about three weeks. The next time he leaves is next week, and he'll be gone for a month. He won't be back until May, and I don't know how I'll be able to get by that long without physically being able to touch him.

"Are you even listening?" Faith snaps, and I look up from my phone. She scoffs and shakes her head in amusement. "Whatever, fail at life if you want."

I laugh, "I happen to have a very famous up and coming boyfriend, so it doesn't matter if I fail at life." Kelly laughs along with me and Faith just rolls her eyes.

"Wow, look at little miss independent depending on her boyfriend," she teases.

"I am not, it was a joke," I snap back, and she raises her eyebrows.

"Really? Then why're you so defensive?" She questions with a smirk. I roll my eyes as the bell rings and we get up to go to our classes.

"Bye," I call over my shoulder.

•••

After school, I go straight to Shawn's house. It turns out his schedule got changed, so now he leaves in two days, and he'll be gone until the middle or end of May. I'm literally not leaving his side for the next two days. I'm even considering skipping school tomorrow.

I just walk inside, being that kind of girlfriend, and see Shawn rubbing his temples. I frown slightly because he looks stressed and I feel bad. Having a music career is supposed to be fun, but I'm sure it does get stressful at times.

"Hey," he says when he sees me, flashing a tired smile. I greet him back with a kiss, and he flops down on the couch. "So how was your day?" I shrug, laying down next to him. "Good."

"That's it? Nothing happened?"

I shake my head. "Nope, there's nothing to tell." Shawn raises his eyebrows, making me furrow mine slightly. Is he angry?

"So absolutely nothing happened? Or do you just not want to tell me about it?"

I furrow my eyebrows further, sitting up to face him. Now he's just being possessive. He doesn't own me.

"I don't have to tell you everything, you know. Just because you're my boyfriend doesn't mean you get to control everything I do," I state.

"I'm not trying to control you! I just want to know how your day was, is that so wrong?!" His voice grows louder with every word, I flinch slightly.

"I told you there was nothing to tell! I don't have to tell you every detail of my life when you aren't around!" I argue, and he scoffs. What the hell?

"Oh, so is there something you don't want me to know?" Shawn questions with an angry expression on his face.

"I never said that! Nothing happened today, Shawn! There's nothing to tell!" I shout back. We're both up and yelling by this point.

"There's obviously something to tell!"

"Do I have to spell it out for you? Nothing happened! I don't have anything to say!"

Shawn gets up and paces the room, rubbing his temples. "Fine, don't tell me about your day," he mutters.

"Are you seriously upset because I don't have something to tell you?! I'm sorry my day wasn't interesting, I'll try to make sure I live a little tomorrow so I have something to tell you!" I snap. I'm extremely annoyed he's so upset over this. It was a boring day, why does he care so much?

Shawn sighs and goes upstairs. I scoff, grabbing my jacket and slamming his door shut behind me. Did we really just fight over how my day went?

As I walk home, I replay our fight in my mind. Okay, maybe I was sort of stubborn too, but I'm a stubborn person. He was being so controlling, yet I feel guilty. Is that how relationships are supposed to work?

Part of me wants to text him and apologize, but the better half of me tells me not to. I literally did nothing wrong, so until he apologizes . . . what? What happens until them? Are we considered broken up? Are we ignoring each other?

I sigh as I walk to my bedroom and flop onto my bed, deciding to call Faith and Kelly and invite them over. I hate that Shawn can make me feel like this. I hate fawning over a boy the way I am right now. I'm literally going in circles trying understand why he got upset at me when he shouldn't have even been upset in the first place. I let out a frustrated groan and bury myself under the covers.

And here I thought I was starting to like having a boyfriend.

A/N - well, that escalated quickly. Shawn's kind of a jerk, whoops. I'm watching the Grammys right now so that's cool. I hope one day Shawn will win a Grammy. I bet he will. Thanks for reading my lovely people! Xoxo - Em😊❤️
