SHAWN MENDES IMAGINES
→ i promise ←

Shawn walked out of the airport and called a uber over. He just got home from his four month world tour and was excited to be back home where he could see his family and girlfriend of three years, Brooklyn.

As Shawn got into the uber with excitement filled in him, his girlfriend on the other hand was in a state of pain. No, not the type of pain where you scrape your knee if you fall off a bike. It's the type of pain that happens mentally.

Where you feel lonely, unloved, and insecure. That's how she was feeling. Reading through all of the hateful comments that were sent on a recent post of hers on Instagram about her and Shawn together at the park, each comment was hateful.

'Shawn could do so much better.'

'Ew she's so ugly'

'Why is Shawn with her, she's ugly and has no one. Why would Shawn date a nobody?'

Only little comments were nice ones. But almost every single comment, was nothing but hate, making her feel even more insecure.

She sat on the bathroom floor against the wooden door, she stared at her phone as she held back any tears that were ready to spill at any given moment.

There was only one problem: she didn't know Shawn was back home, on his way from the airport. And with every minute she sat there, Shawn was getting closer to being home.

I can't break our promise. She thought. She never dared to open the cabinet that contained her old best friend that relieved any pain she felt. Her razor blade.

A sigh escaped her pink, chapped lips as she reached into the cabinet. Her fingers touched upon the cold, untouched metal. A sad smile creeped on her face as she stared down at the blade in her small hands.

She traced her finger tips along the sharp edge carefully. Tears tickled down her splotchy cheeks as she held the razor in her hand when Shawn came across her mind once again.

He wouldn't want me to do this, he would be mad at me. She cried even harder the more she thought about him.

She needed Shawn to be here to comfort her. To hold her in his arms as she cried uncontrollably. She craved his touch. She craved his gentle words, reminding her that everything will be okay.

But Shawn wasn't here. Yet. And that's what she didn't know but she needed to be able to feel something in order to rid the pain. She brought the blade up to her wrist and slid it across her skin, creating a fresh wound on her untouched skin.

I can't believe I just broke our promise. I was a year clean. She thought.

She made a few more cuts until she abruptly came to a halt as she heard heavy footsteps and Shawn's voice audible throughout the corridor.

"Baby! I'm home." Shawn called with a smile plastered on his face.

She knew he had a smile on his face by the way he sounded excited to be home. Then she jumped up onto her feet and quickly struggled to lock the bathroom door.

"Baby girl? Are you okay?" Shawn asked as he was right in front of the bathroom door.

Brooklyn cleared her throat, not wanting to hint as she was crying. "Y-yeah." She replied stuttered.

Shawn let out a sigh as he knew what she was probably doing. Brooklyn stepped back. The door pushed open and tears formed into Shawn's, hazel eyes. He let out a whimper at the sight of seeing his girlfriend he is madly in love with, in this position.

Blood still continued to pour out of the freshly made wounds and tears still trickled down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry." She cried.

Shawn pulled her into his arms, swaying side to side to calm her down. Every now and then he would gently kiss her forehead, whispering sweet nothings in her ear which somehow managed to get her to calm down.

"You know I love you right?" Shawn said to the broken girl standing in front of him.

She nodded her head almost instantly knowing that he reminds her all the time.

Shawn picked up the blade and tossed it into the trash can they kept in their bathroom.

"I truly mean it every time I tell you I love you, and it kills me to see you like this. Please promise me you'll never do this again, love."

"I promise."
