Shawn Mendes Imagines

Imagine #10

Hold On

I let my tears touched my skin along with the cold breeze.

I sniff and pulled my legs to me and hugged them.

I'm sitting at the riverside and staring out of nowhere.

Trying to conceive what's happening in my life.

I hear the screams and cheers get louder from the venue.

I checked my watch to see if the shows already done and it wasn't moving.

Damn it! Of all the things that might get damaged, it's my watch! Of all things! This is the most important thing that I have.

I unstrap it from my wrist and stared at it's rugged strap. Tears flowed from my eyes again.

I placed it beside me.

I accompanied my friend to Shawn's show in our city but I haven't got tickets to see the show because, yeah. I'm poor and I have a lot of things to pay instead purchasing a ticket even how much I'm dying to see Shawn.

My friend had tickets when she joined a contest where you can win one. But I'm unlucky. I have no time to do siesta because I have to work triple times for my brother and sister.

I lean my forehead to my knees and started sobbing.

I always ask why do I have this kind of life?

My father always gambles and goes home drunk.

And my mother.. she's.

She's dead.

"Hey. Are you okay?" Someone asks and placed his hand on my shoulder.

Yes. His. Because it's a voice of a guy.

I hesitantly lift up my head to see who it was but my heart sank seeing him looking at me worriedly.

"I'm. I'm fine." I lied and he shook his head but he gave me sly smile.

"What are you doing here in this kind of time? It's late." He says and sits beside me.

"I.. My friend is inside and I was waiting for the show to end so we can go home." I explained.

I still can't believe he's in front of me.

Oh god.

"You didn't see the show?" He asks and I nodded.

Like a stupid girl who was asked by her ultimate crush.

But hey. He is my ultimate crush!

"Is this yours?" He asks as he holds my rugged watch and I wanted to cover my face.

Why is he holding that? It's rough and dirty.

"Hey. I don't know what you're going through, but I know you have a problem." He says. "It might sound psychotic but I can see it in your eyes." He giggles when he said the word psychotic.

"Here," He removes his watch and places it on my wrist.

My eyes widen.

"Keep it." He smiles at me.

"I may not know what your problems are, just always remember that there's someone who believes in you. So don't give up, okay?" He advices and I started to tear up.

Oh my god. I look so pathetic right now.

I was stunned when he pulled me and hugged me.

Tell me I'm dreaming! I can't.

Why would a Shawn Mendes hug an almost stranger?

"I don't know what you're going through

But there's so much life ahead of you

And it won't slow down

No matter what you do

So you just got to hold on"

He hums on my ears and I can feel my hands tremble.

He pulls away from the hug and smiled at me again.

"Just hold on for me." He says and I smiled at him in return.
