Texting / Shawn Mendes

Scars

How was your flight?

It was nice. What are you doing?

When did you land?

About 4 hours ago. This place is awesome.

I'm happy for you Shawn. Have fun.

I miss you.

I miss you too...

Come here.

Philippines? Ahah you're so funny.

Yeah...

Are you serious?

Yes.

You know that I can't... I have school and my parents are probably gonna think that I'm crazy for asking.

You're homeschooled Malia and I can talk to them.

Shawn this is crazy.

Okay. I got it.

What are you talking about?

You obviously don't want to come here or you don't want to be around me.

This is crazy. If i didn't want to talk to you I'd have blocked your number months ago.

Then what is it?

It's your moment. I don't want to ruin it.

You won't ruin anything. I truly want you here.

Okay look we'll talk later about it...

Where are you?

At a small café.

By yourself?

I'm with an old friend of mine.

Friend?

It's Michael.

Michael?

Yeah..

The one who cheated on you and made you a stressful mess?

Yep

Why?

He wanted to talk to me...

About what?

About everything...

Are you out of your freaking mind Malia? Leave.

No.

Why not?

I have to know..

Know what?

Why he did that to me. I'm not stupid Shawn. I know how to protect myself.

I know but please leave.. Forget about him. Just leave Malia... I don't want you to suffer anymore. You went through a lot and you struggled with your anxiety for 2 months because of this idiot. Please do yourself a favor and leave.

I'm sorry Shawn... I need to know

No you don't have to. It's over now, it's a part of the past... It's like an old memory... If you keep going back to that memory you automatically stop living now... Just let it go and forget everything.

I... I was truly sad for a long time Shawn. I deserve to know why... It's like a scar that never goes away. I want to talk to someone but I don't have anyone now... I want to go out but I still can't...and all because of this stupid scar. It's blocking me from living. It's ridiculous.

If you keep scratching that scar then yeah it's not going to leave any time soon...

I know you're right but...I don't know.

I'll give you 10 minutes. The next time I text you you're going to get your purse and exit the café. Deal?

Deal.
