Distance // Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes:
I woke up to the sound of rain hitting my window. I looked to my side, where Alice was soundly sleeping. Her back was facing me so all I could see was her medium length hair. I crawled out of bed and walked to my window, it was dark and gloomy. I went into the bathroom and turned the shower knob. I got in the warm shower and let the water hit my muscles. I washed my hair and got out. I put on the same pair of pants I had on earlier, and went back into my room.

Alice was still asleep so I went downstairs to make us breakfast. Aaliyah, Sophia, and my mother were all awake and in the kitchen talking. "Good morning Shawn," my mother smiled. "Good morning," I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. I opened the fridge and looked for food to cook. Nothing. "What are you looking for?" Aaliyah asked. "Food to cook," I said as I walked to the pantry. I found some store-bought muffins, that would do. I pulled two of them on a plate and poured some coffee.

I started walking upstairs until I heard my mom call me to come back. "Woah woah woah, come back." I groaned and walked back into the kitchen. "Aaliyah and Sophia are telling me about your day yesterday, I can't believe you haven't asked Alice out yet." She put her hand on her hip. "I will one day, but everything is so perfect the way it is." I said, hoping they would understand. I went back upstairs and saw Alice leaning against the wall, looking out the window. "Good morning." I smiled, she turned to face me. I handed her a cup of coffee and she took the plate.

"Good morning." She took a sip of coffee as she sat on the bed. "What are we gonna do today?" I took a bite out of my muffin. "I have to go to work and I have to study for a test," she sighed. "But I will be waiting for you tomorrow morning on my porch, to go to school with you." She smiled. We listened to the rain hit the window and enjoyed our small breakfast. Alice works at Urban Outfitters, and she gets paid well enough to take care of herself, since her parents are never home.

A few minutes later she starts getting ready. She put on the dress she was wearing yesterday as I watched. "You can stop now you little pervert." She laughed.

Alice Mirabella:
I put on my dress and shoes. I walked over to Shawn and gave him a hug. "Thank you for yesterday." I said, and walked out of his bedroom. I went downstairs and saw Shawn's mom, Aaliyah and Sophia. "I have to get to work, have a nice day." I smiled at Shawn's mom and his sister. Sophia walked with me to our house. I went up to my room and did my makeup.

     I grabbed my bag and said goodbye to Sophia, then left.

Shawn Mendes:
     When Alice left, I sat on my bed completely bored. I went on phone and looked at my apps to see if there was anything I could do. I stumbled across vine, which I haven't used in months. No one ever watched my vines so I gave up on it. I clicked on the app and scrolled through. I noticed that my notifications had thousands of likes and comments.

     They were from my singing vines. I had all of these nice comments and retweets and likes and follows. I went on some accounts that commented and saw edits of my vines. I couldn't help but to smile like an idiot. I retweeted and commented on some accounts.

     Sooner or later, I found myself singing to a camera.
