Harry Styles & Shawn Mendes Imagines

Here In My Heart (S.M. Titanic)

It was cool, the stars shone bright and you and Shawn felt like the only two people in the world.

"When the boat docks, I'm leaving with you." You had just met Shawn but he was the one, you felt it. He smiled and stroked your cheek.

It was then it felt as if there had been an earthquake, you fell hard into Shawn's embrace, as you watched the iceberg go past. Pieces of ice fell hard across the deck, the shaking didn't stop. Once it was quiet again, you and Shawn both ran over to the edge and peaked over.

"Did we hit it?" You asked Shawn but he didn't answer. You bit your lip and snuggled into Shawn.

"Lets go inside yeah?" You nodded your head and followed him inside the ship.

People had flocked out of their rooms to find out what had happened. But no one knew. Time had passed and you had finally gotten word that Titanic had struck an iceberg and that the worst was happening.

"You need to get on a lifeboat, okay?" Shawn spoke to you while tightening your life vest.

You shook your head, "no, I'm not leaving you!"

He sighed and held your face in his hands, "you have to! Please.. for me, I couldn't live with myself if you didn't survive."

Your eyes were blurred with tears and you couldn't bring yourself to let go of Shawn. He held you tightly and kissed your head. He pushed through the crowd never letting go of your hand, you made it to where the life boats were being loaded. There were only two left.

"ALL WOMEN AND CHILDREN PLEASE!" The officer shouted.

"This isn't goodbye, I'll see you soon, I promise." Shawns words somehow comforted you, he kissed your hand and helped you into the lifeboat. You couldn't believe that you were leaving Shawn behind, you were supposed to be together.

As the last person climbed onto the boat it started getting lower and lower towards the freezing North Atlantic water. You and Shawn never lost eye contact, he never left the edge of the boat, he gave you a small smile and that was enough to tell you that you couldn't do this. You stood up and jumped out of the small life boat and hung on to the edge of the sinking ship, people gasped and hollered. Shawn saw and immediately ran off. People, complete strangers were now pulling you back onto Titanic. You held on for dear life. When Shawn's familiar presence had engulfed you, his stronger hands pulled you back on deck and into his warm embrace.

"Are you stupid?! You could've gotten hurt, why did you come back.." His words were frantic and jumbled.

You nervously laughed, "I love you.. that's why."

He kissed you passionately and his hands pushed their way through your long hair. "Besides.. we're getting off in New York together."

Shawn laughed, "this is crazy, you're crazy." While he grabbed your hand, "let's go then, together.

You quickly nodded and followed Shawn through the frenzy of people. All the lifeboats were gone and it was everyone for themselves. You and Shawn stuck together and you ran to the back of the boat and held onto the rails. With one hand, Shawn held onto the ship and the other hand held onto you. The lights went out and a thousand screams filled the cold midnight air.

Titanic, the unsinkable ship sunk that cold April night. Thousands died and were lost to an unfortunate end that was never predicted.

You saw Shawn's face everywhere you went. The streets of New York were crowded but lonely without the one who was supposed to be there with you. You never knew if he had died that night. There was no record nor a picture of the young 3rd class boy who stole your heart. He lived on to only exist in your memory, that slowly faded as life went on.
