"You sure you don't want one, ladies?" Jeremy said, holding his box of cigarettes out towards us.

"We are sure, thanks," Rose answers for the two of us.

"Where is Shawn anyways?" Jeremy blows smoke out the window of the tree house.

"Do you even have to ask?" I reply. "He'll be out doing romantic shit with Jessica."

"Stupid boy," Rose mutters. "Love is for fools."

"Guess Kyle hasn't been in contact then?"

"You'd be correct! And, yeah, we've only been on a few dates. But he should at least have the decency to tell me he doesn't want to date anymore. And..." I zone out to Rose's love life issues. I've heard it all before. What consumes my thoughts is the fact that Shawn is choosing Jessica over us. Here we are, waiting in his tree house for him to show up.

"Sorry I'm late guys!" I jump at the sound of Shawn's voice so close by. I turn to see him climbing though the door. "But by all means, make yourselves at home," he says sarcastically. Jeremy rolls his eyes.

"So, how was tongue tying with Jessica?" Jeremy asks Shawn with a smirk. Rose slaps Jeremy while Shawn blushes.

"Well that's a mental image I don't want to see," I mutter.

"Same," Rose moves over to be closer to me.

"It's hard to believe in the first place," Jeremy pokes Shawn's side.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Shawn ask.

"You're still Shawn to us," I say. "Not the Shawn Mendes."

"I'm grateful for that, really. But I'm Shawn to Jessica as well."

"Ha!" Jeremy laughs. I look out the window once again as my three best friends bicker.

The night always looks pretty from the height of the treehouse. You can see all the lights from the houses below and the stars above. You're in the middle of it all; you can see everything. Nighttime has always been my favourite. Compared to the chaos of daytime, nighttime is peaceful, calm, serene even. I sigh. Nighttime doesn't last forever, though. Soon we will have to leave the middle and allow daytime to return.

"Ellie?" Rose nudges me.

"Mm?"

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just thinking."

"What about?" Shawn asks. I turn to see three pairs of eyes staring curiously at me.

"More than I can even begin to explain."

--------------------

A/N: In under a month, I will be the same age as Shawn again (18).

Fun fact: back when I first discovered Shawn I thought he was like 20 (this was like in 2014 lol).

The pic up the top is like Shawn (and the other guy can be Jeremy) in the treehouse "chillin" haha.
