🌸Shawn Mendes Imagines🌸

bad reputation (✅)(🌸)

She got a bad reputation.

I sigh and look out the window of our biology class. Mr Taleep is rambling on about how to use protection and telling us to not have sex, which is ironic considering he has six children.

"Hey, bro. Have you heard about her? Apparently she was caught stoned at school."

I clench my fist.

"Oh yeah, and she sucked off the principal for money."

The disgusting rumors run wild in the class.

She takes the long way home.

The class erupts in whispers as she walks in, her hair windswept and her cheeks red.

"Look at her, she probably fucked the hall monitor or something."

These rumors are lies! I know who she is, this isn't her.

And all of my friends seen her naked

I look over to my friend, as he nudges me. He looks to her and mutters to me.

"Bro, I've seen her naked. All of us did, at that party last summer, she's a crazy bitch."

I close my eyes blocking him out. It's not true. I know the truth.

Or so the story goes.

I've been to that party. She wasn't there. I looked for her.

Mistakes we all make them, but they won't let it go.

"Let it go, dude." I mutter to him, through a clenched jaw.

"The stakes are too high when it comes to her."

She went to that party, it was a mistake. We all make mistakes but this one they won't let go.

'Cause she's got a bad reputation, and I know what they don't.

I know her. I know the real her. She's kind and beautiful and she's never done anything bad in her life. I know, because I've seen her. I know, because I'm in love with her.

And I don't care what they say about you baby.

"Stop!"

The class goes silent as I shout. I stand up and shout again.

"You don't know her! You don't know who she really is!"

They don't know what you've been through.

I know about her mom and dad. How she has to live with her grandmother because she has no one else. I know how broken she is. I know about everything. The hate, the cutting, the depression. Everything.

Trust me, I can be the one to treat you like a lady. Let me see what's underneath. All I need is you.

They're staring at me now. Everyone is, except her. She's crying at her desk now. And it's breaking my heart. I walk to her and offer my hand out to her. She looks up at me and my heart shatters. Her brown eyes are sad and red. She gives me the smallest smile and grabs my hand. I pull her up and walk out of the class with her in tow.

She got a bad reputation, nobody gets too close.

As I pull her down the hallway, students and teachers back away from us. They know about her. Or they know the lies.

A sight of a soul when it's breaking, making my heart grow cold.

I turn to look at her and she looks broken, defeated. She looks sad and tired and lonely and I want to make her feel better but right now, my heart is cold.

We get outside and I pull her to my chest, hugging her tightly. She grabs onto my shirt and sobs into my chest.

And into the deeper she's sinking and I'm begging her please don't let go.

She sinks deeper into my chest and I rub her back, kissing the top of her head.

"Please, don't let go."

She's got a bad reputation, but she's all that I want though.

We're in the car and I'm driving her to my apartment. I know about her bad reputation. I know the lies. But I want her. I look at her as she curls up on the passenger seat and I know that why I feel for her is unconditional love.

She's got a bad reputation, but she's all I want.

And I don't care what they say about you baby, they don't know what you've been through.

"Why are you doing this Shawn?" Her soft voice asks me, "you know the rumours about me."

I look to her and she's crying again.

"I don't care what they say about you, baby girl. They don't know what you've been through. But I know."

And trust me, I can be the one to treat you like a lady. Let me see what's underneath. All I need is you.

"I can be the one to treat you like a lady, I can treat you better. Show me what's underneath your pain. All I want and all I need is you."

We're inside the apartment and I my room, on my bed.

Nobody knows her the way that I know her said. Nobody knows the weight that's on her shoulders. Nobody knows her the way that I know her said. She got a bad, she got a bad.

She sighs and it's filled with defeat and sadness.

"Nobody knows me the way you do, Shawn. Nobody knows the massive weight I carry on my shoulders. It just...gets a little too much." She whispers.

Nobody knows her the way that I know her said. Nobody knows the weight that's on her shoulders. Nobody knows her the way that I know her said. She got a bad, she got a bad.

"I know," I sigh, "I know"

I bring her hand to my lips and kiss her knuckles, feeling the rough skin on her wrist.

And I don't care what they say about you baby. They don't know what you've been through. Trust me I can be the one to treat you like a lady. Let me see what's underneath.

I turn her hand so her wrist faces me. I kiss every scar.

All I need is you.

"Why do you need, baby girl?" I ask her softly

She smiles shyly and whispers,

"All I need is you."

She got a bad reputation.

She's got a bad reputation. But now, so do I.

I won't be afraid to touch her or to love her. No rumor or hater will stop me from loving her. She is mine. She is all I need. She's is all I want.

She takes the long way home.

I drop her off home, late that night. We had to talk, touch and feel...so I took the long way home.

Bad Reputation is a great song, one of my absolute favourites.

If you are confused, this is in Shawn's POV and you are the girl he's talking about.

I don't know how I feel about this one.

Sorry for the long wait, I really am sorry .

All the love
