The Project. {Shawn Mendes}

Chapter 45

His breath on my neck sent chills down my spine and my words got stuttered.

"O-ok."

I took the outfit from his hand and put it on my computer chair.
After that I grabbed my laptop and sat on my bed.
I plugged my speakers into it my laptop and put my music on.
Of course, since I love P!ATD, This is Gospel came on.

"This is Gospel for the fallen ones locked away in permanent slumber, assembling their philosophy from pieces of broken memories."

I started singing and I could tell Shawn was smiling at me as he sat next to me.
The song reached this middle and I lost it.

"IF YOU LOVE ME LET ME GOOOOOOOOOO!!!! IF YOU LOVE ME LET ME GOOOOOOOOOO! CAUSE THESE WORDS ARE KNIVES THAT OFTEN LEAVE SCARS THE FEAR OF FALLING APART TRUTH BE TOLD I NEVER WAS YOURS, THE FEAR, THE FEAR OF FALLING APART!"

I looked back at Shawn who was smiling and then his attention turned towards my laptop screen to look at the music video.

"That's a strange way of doing a music video but hey, at least I know what Brendon Urie looks like now."

I laughed and so did he.

"Haha yeah. He's my second idol"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"Who's your first?"

"Niall Horan of course."

His expression turned into a sad face and I laughed.

"I'm joking. You're my first idol."

He crossed his arms and frowned.

"Come on babe. I wasn't being serious. You know I wasn't. I'm sorry"

"Sorry isn't gonna work this time."

"Fine. What will work then?"

"A kiss."

I smirked and so did he and I moved myself so that I was sitting on his lap.
I gave him a kiss on the lips and he smiled in the middle of it causing me to smile as well.
When I pulled away he did his sad face again.

"Didn't work."

"I think I know what will work..."

"What?"

I winked at him and then got up and walked out of my room.
I walked downstairs to the kitchen and I screamed.

"MOM? DAD? WHAT THE HELL!"

Their heads snapped towards me and they looked guilty.

"SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS SHIT! RIGHT NOW!"

My dad stood up and I looked at him angry.

"Calm down and stop swearing alright."

His Texas accent was alot stronger than mine but I'm kinda used to it since I hear my mom's all the time.

"I'll swear if I wanna fucking swear! EXPLAIN THIS!"

My mom did a face palm and stood up next to my dad.
Shawn came down the stairs saying something but when he was stood next to me he didn't say anything.

"Well we'd tell you but I see there's a boy here."

"IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER THAT THERES A BOY HERE JUST TELL ME!"

"STOP YELLING AT ME YOUNG LADY!"

"I'LL DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT OLD MAN!"

"Really.... You really just pulled that card?"

"YEAH I DID! I DONT FUCKING CARE WHAT YOU DO ABOUT IT JUST TELL ME WHATS GOING ON!"

"Megan sweetheart, calm down and we'll t-"

"I AM CALM!"

I felt Shawn's hands on my waist and he turned me to face him and started talking really low so only I could hear him.
I, on the other hand, was talking in my normal tone.

"Babe.. Calm down OK. I'm sure that whatever is going on isn't that bad."
"How do you know that for sure?"
"I don't but I mean, the man left when you were just a little gi-"

"Exactly, he left us. How do I know that now that he's back, he's not gonna it again?!"

"We don't know that but please calm down baby girl. I don't have my dad in my life either anymore but if he were to come back, I'd give him a chance."

I sighed and looked at the floor and then back up at Shawns eyes.

"OK.. I'll give him a chance."

He smiled and kissed my cheek.

"That's my princess."

I smiled to and faced my parents again.
It felt weird seeing them stand side by side again but I guess I might have to get used to it.

"Ok dad, I'm calm."

"OK princess. Let's s-"

"Don't call me princess... Only Shawn and my brothers can call me that."

He frowned a little but then nodded.

"OK Megan.... Let's just sit down and we'll explain everything."

"Alright."

I grabbed Shawn's hand, squeezing it a little to indicate him that I was a little scared and he did it back to let me know it was OK.
We all sat down and then the explanation began.
