* So I have noticed most imagines are written in second POV but there are also some in first POV. I tried out both and personally I enjoy writing in first POV better! I think I'm going to stick to this type of writing, if you guys have any opinions be sure to leave them for me :)
*Y/N POV*
Something we were never taught as kids is that heartbreak doesn't only occur after the end of a romantic relationship. Some of the worst heartbreaks can come from someone so unexpected, a best friend.
My best friend and I met long before I met Shawn, I remember the day so vividly. I walked into the first day of third grade and I was overwhelmed with sadness because none of my close friends were assigned to my class. When my parents dropped me off tears rolled down my face, I never liked change, especially without someone by my side to guide me. Suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned around and it was a little girl from my class. She walked over to me that day and gave me a big hug. "I'm so glad you're in my class, we can be best friends forever and ever." She had said excitedly. Although I had barely ever spoken to this girl before in that instant I felt so comforted and happy. But the feeling of safeness in her presence was over, after almost nine years.
I'm now thinking back to that day while lying in my bed surrounded by wet tissues filled with tears and sad Ed Sheeran music playing in the background. I never ever thought our friendship would end this way.
Buried in the mess of my bed I hear my phone ringing, it's Shawn. "Hello" I mutter out, trying to hide the fact that I've been crying for the majority of the day. "What's wrong?" he asks with a worried tone, clearly I wasn't that good at hiding my emotions. By then I started full on sobbing. "I'll be right over." He announced.
15 minutes later I hear someone running up the stairs of my parents house. Shawn runs into my room and instantly jumps into bed with me, enveloping me into a hug and rubbing my back. I cry into his chest and try to get the words out to explain but he interrupts, "shh you don't need to tell me anything yet. Just relax, I'm here." I'm pretty sure he is aware of what's going on as he sees my laptop open to pictures of me and my (ex) best friend. Things have been different between us for weeks and Shawn knew all about it, he was always there to listen and hold me when I cried.
After several minutes of simply lying in his arms I calm myself down, I'm ready to talk. I tell Shawn what happened earlier that day and looks at me with his sad brown eyes, he always says he hates to see me upset. "I have no one left" I cry out, "we did everything together." "Hey listen," Shawn says quietly, "you will always have me, I will always make time for you no matter how busy this singing career gets. I have the next 2 months off and we will do whatever you want. I may not be y/bf/n but I'll try my best to be your person. I love you so much, I'd go to the end of the earth to see your pretty smile."
Shawn gently kisses me and I smile. We snuggle into each other and begin to play a movie on my laptop. I think about how lucky I am to have him in my life, I pray every day that we will get to spend the rest of our lives together because I can't imagine life without him. When expressing my love to Shawn I never want to say the word forever, because forever isn't always what we expect it to be.
Authors note// I really liked writing this imagine, in the last year or so I've lost a lot of friends I would have never expected I could live without. It's been tough but I've grown as a person because of it, if this is something you're currently going through just know everything happens for a reason and everything will be okay:)
