song for the chapter: aftertaste by shawn mendes ➵
Tonight Shawn was performing at Madison Square Garden, and the nerves couldn't be more real for him.
He wouldn't talk to me, nor look at me.
I kept hoping it was just his nerves, but something told me it wasn't.
You see, it had been awkward since we had kissed two weeks ago.
It was a complete accident, we're just best friends.
I thought we would act like nothing happened, but Shawn decided to let the awkward silence get the best of us, every day since then.
"5 minutes Shawn. They're all calling and shouting your name, their so happy to see you." Andrew smiled proudly, patting Shawn's shoulder.
Shawn smiled at the thought of his fans. [MENDES ARMY!!!]
"Shawn I know you're gonna do great." I broke the silence, and gave him a small smile.
He gave a weak smile before leaving the dressing room, me following behind.

"She would not show that she was afraid." Shawn strummed his guitar.
"Of being and feeling alone was too much to face."
I'm so proud of my best freaking friend, Shawn Mendes.
He sang a couple more songs like Don't Be A Fool, and Mercy; which hadn't be released yet.
"Thank you all so much, I love you all and thank you for supporting me; have an amazing night new york!" Shawn had a dorky grin on his face as he jogged off the stage.
"You did great!" I tried kissing his cheek but he dodged.
"Listen, i don't think we should be best friends anymore. I don't want you to remember me, it's best we just forget each other and move on with our lives. It's something I really think we should do. Have a good life Y/N."
Even more tears welled up in your my, but this time sad tears.
"If that's what makes you happy."
"Well it is. You didn't really mean anything to me. I don't even know why we were best friends."
Shawn's P.O.V.
What she didn't know is that I had to do that, i had no choice.
It was all her boyfriend who made me do that.
I wish I could actually tell her how much she meant to me, she didn't even know how it hurt like hell to do that.
The look on her face absolutely broke my heart; because I was absolutely in love with that girl, and I had been since we met in kindergarten.
