Crumpled Love| A Shawn Mendes Fanfiction

Aftermath

A/N: I've been gone for soooo long 😩. I went on shawn's world tour London and Toronto (he was in London when I was there so we went and I live near Toronto so)  and got caught up with summer break. So I'm sorry boos. It's after the world tour now so this is after 💕. Happy reading. 😉

Narrator's  POV
It's been a while since Avia and Shawn last saw each other. After the Sweden show, Avia went home the next day. The tour was now over. The only thing left was the Toronto show. Avia sat on her bed desperately missing Shawn. He's sent her letters and packages every week, but she kept missing him. He'd be home in a week. But until then. He was suppose to send one last letter.
Avia's POV:
I haven't seen Shawn since Sweden. I miss him so much. We've called and face timed but it's been 4 months.
iMessage from:
Aaliyah 🍓
Hey wanna come over? I have some news.
I replied:
Yeah sure O.M.W ❤️
(A/n: Don't worry he didn't die lol some predict that)

I make my way to Shawn's house. I go a block down and I'm there. When I reach their doorstep. I reach up to knock but when my fist was 1 cm from the door, Aaliyah swung it open and I fell forward. We both bust out laughing.
"Clumsy" she laughs.
"It was your fault." I laugh.
She shakes her head rolling her eyes.
"What was the news?" I ask.
"Oh yeah." She grins leading me to their living room.
The tv had an interview of Shawn. It was paused.
"OHMYGOSH UN PAUSE IT YOU LITTLE WORM!" I yell pushing her out of the way to get the remote.
She laughs really hard as she falls on the couch.
When I hit play I hear Shawn sing his new song Mercy. Then he announces his new album Illuminate.
"Ok ok get to the point." Aaliyah says.
"I'd like to thank my family and friends for inspiring me and pushing me to do my best." Shawn says.
"Ok first question asked by Haileigh B. : What's your favorite album? Handwritten or illuminate?" Says the host.
"Um Illuminate for sure. I've put a lot of work in this new album and I feel it has less errors and is more sophisticated." He replies.
"Next question. Are you single?" The host raises his eyebrow.
"This is the part I wanted to show you." Aaliyah says.
"Well actually yes. But no at the moment I'm not in a relationship." He says and looks at the camera.
I knew exactly what that meant.
I couldn't help but shed a tear. Aaliyah paused the video and looked at with sympathy. I kissed her on the cheek and made my way to the door. I grabbed my things we both said our "bye."
When I got home, I dropped everything and opened my MacBook. I started calling Shawn on FaceTime. Still no answer.
"Maybe he's busy." I sigh.
Then an hour later, I hear ringing from my laptop and Shawn rang FaceTime. I picked up immediately. When I picked up I was so quick,
"Hey uh-"
"What's wrong?" I say worried, as I notice Shawn's teared up eyes and red face. He's been crying. Hard.
"I think we have to take a break." He says.
"I just saw you on your interview." I felt a tear stream down my cheek.
"Yeah I know I'm sorry. You'd get so much hate and I'm focused on my career." He says.
"What do you mean." I asked.
"If I say I was dating someone the canvases would know it was you! They find out everything." He covered his eyes wiping them.
"I don't mind." I said.
"Is your phone on?" He asked.
"No but I'll turn it on." I replied.
I held down the power button. As soon as my phone synced to WiFi, notifications kept popping up. Some good some bad. Most asking if  It was true I wasn't dating him.
"Oh." I said.
"See?" Shawn said.
"It's all because of me. If I said we were I'd be much worse." He cried.
"It's not your fault. But are you choosing the career over me?" I yelled.
"I don't know." He said. Then he hung up.
I disabled notifications on all social media. I texted Chelsea immediately. Then Aaliyah and then Ian and all my friends.
Group Chat
Chels: He what?! Oh my gosh I can't believe it.
Ian: he shouldn't let that ruin your relationship.
Nadia: maybe he's stressed. He just needs time.
Me: you're right Nadia. I'll give him 1 hour.
Nadia: nooooo 😂 that's not enough. Wait til he's ready.

In bed, I scrolled through my comments and dms. I gained many more followers on Instagram and even more on Twitter. I still had to clear it up. I tweeted AviaMayMartin: Shoutout to my Best friend @shawnmendes ❤️ get to see you soon!

I looked and the questions were clearing up. I gained fan pages and fans. I got loads of positive comments on how it shouldn't matter if I were dating him or not. There was still a lot of hate but to me the kindness overruled it. After All needed it at this time. I got threats saying if I don't break up with him, they'd hunt me down until I cleared it up.
I then got a text from Shawn.
Shawny:
Hey I'm sorry about today. I just think it would be better for us to just go back to best friends for now. Doesn't mean we are over. We are just taking a break. It hurts me more trust me. Good night princess. Love you sis ❤️
He hasn't called me "sis" since before 'us'.
This made me cry. Really hard. I cried myself to sleep.

A week passes by. No letter from Shawn. Shawn will be home in 3 hours. I hit 500k on Instagram. And 400k on Twitter. The hate is mostly gone by now. I get lots of love. I see a cute edit of Shawn and I and like it. Soooooo many people them comment "She liked!" On that pic. Not even a minute after I liked. I love doing that. It makes their day. I'm only popular because of Shawn. I scroll down my feed and then I see a picture Shawn posted. With Bella. The girl who flew here with him a while ago.
"Oh no!" Nadia yells over the phone.
"Exactly!" I say.
"What are they doing in the pic?" She asks.
"Shawn has a guitar and she's writing on paper. They're writing a song!" I excaim.
"Oh yeah! " she says.
A/N: Made a long chapter since I've been gone so long. Shawn comes home in the next chapter I'll post it tomorrow ❤️
