Shawn Mendes Imagines

Mercy

Shawn's POV

My head is aching from all the school work that's been piled on me lately. Not only that but the stress Andrew is giving me about the upcoming album. It's a lot to take in. Graduation is coming up and I'm up all night working in the studio doing school work, writing and recording songs. I step out of my bathroom from a well deserved shower and shake my damp hair with a towel.

The towel around my waist loosens but I tighten it, keeping it from falling. I made sure my curtains were closed in case another accident where my towel fell and my neighbour across from us saw everything, I mean, everything. I shudder at the memory and head towards my dresser for my underwear.

My phone vibrates from my bed as I pull a white tee over my head. My heart rate seems to increase as I look at the name. It's Y/N. This is the third night in a row she called me this late at night. I hesitate to answer but my phone stops ringing, bringing it back to the lock screen. 1 missed call from Y/N surfaces the screen a second later.

Y/N is a friend of mine from school. She's been by my side since freshman year and we've been inseparable ever since. The problem is that I'm deeply in love with her. She has no idea and that tears my heart to bits. She's been in numerous relationships in the past. Some rough, some long lasting. Just lately, she's been giving me mixed signals. She comes over a lot more than before. She cuddles closer to me, kissing my face and calling me for a goodnight talk.

I can't stand the pain she's putting me through because I know she doesn't want our relationship to be more than just friends. She doesn't know what's shes doing to me.

I turn off my phone, keeping myself away from her and head straight to my piano. My fingers find themselves on random keys and I play a chord, liking the sound of it. I begin humming as more chords pop into my head.

One Week Later...

"You ready Shawn?" Andrew asks me through the glass

I give a thumbs up and they play the track I finished recording. We just need the vocals.

I begin humming as the piano piece plays. "You've got, a hold of me. Don't even know your power.."

"That's it! That was amazing Shawn! Best song yet!" Andrew congrats me and I nod smiling. This song has a lot of meaning in it and I just hope the fans will also like it.

"Thanks Andrew, means a lot" Andrew pats my back. "There's someone waiting in the front for you Shawn" I look at him confused "Says her name is..Y/N?" My heart drops

I rush to the front and see her sitting in a chair, her phone in her hands as she seems focused on the screen in front of her. My feet seem to lead me to her as she lifts her head up with a big smile on her face. "Hey Shawn!" She leans in for a hug, holding onto my shoulders but my arms remain where they are, by my side.

I stand my ground as Y/N I wasn't going to return the gesture and she gives a soft smile. "You haven't answered my calls in almost two weeks, Karen says you're in the studio or you're busy whenever I try to come over.. what's up Shawn?" She gives me a worried look, touching my arm.

I look down at her, my tall frame towering over her. I almost give in, but I keep my face straight. "I can't be your friend anymore Y/N" She frowns "What are you-"

"-I'm in love with you. That's why we can't be friends!" She retreats her hand and stares at me in awe.

"Shawn..I-I had no idea"

I scoff "Of course you didn't. Look. I just finished recording a song talking about my feelings about you. How you make me feel. You make me feel weak, in the bad way. You hurt me, even though you don't mean it but you're tearing me apart" Y/N begins to tear up, reaching for me again but I shake my head

"S-Shawn, I'm sorry" she croaks

"Just have mercy on me and set me free, Y/N. Because after that verse today, I've set you free"I look at her one more time before leaving the building and head to the car, feeling relieved and accomplished.

I kind of thought this was pretty shitty but..hoped you liked it lol. Btw..
Am I the only one thinking, 'You go Shawn!', because I would certainly be proud of someone especially a guy if he had to that. I'm seriously loving his new song. It's so beautiful and meaningful.
