Life with Shawn Mendes {COMPLETED}

Chapter 26

Hazel's P.O.V

It's been a month since Shawn left back on tour. Ever since that visit, he hasn't come back, but we still talk and Facetime everyday. And since its been a month, you guessed it. 

It's a few days till Thanksgiving.

I think I'm going to go back home in Canada for the weekend. Plus, I want to see my mom again. The doctors tell me that she is getting weaker everyday. The hourglass is running out for her. Now that I thought of this, I'm getting emotional, and I don't feel like crying right now. 

I get rid of the thought, and I start doing some schoolwork for tomorrow. 

After homework, which took out most of my day, which is just super, I decided to go out. 

I get a hoodie on, not saying who's, but I guess you already know, and head out. I go down a floor, so I can ask Alexa if she wants to come with me. I'm pretty sure she's going to say no, because she doesn't really like going out a lot, but it's worth a try.

I knock on her door and I hear her coming closer. She opens the door. "What do you want?" She asks while squinting her eyes and a tired voice. Well, isn't she in a great mood today?

"Just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go on a walk with me." 

"Can't you see I'm busy?" She says pointing behind her. I don't see anything, but some sheets on her couch. "Doing what?" I ask. 

"I'm taking a nap! Which is really important in my day, and I can't skip it. With that statement, I'm going to have to pass on that walk." She says with a voice that sounds like if she's sorry, but not really.

"But I-"

"Goodbye Hazel, see you tomorrow at school, have a great night, don't let the bedbugs bite, you know the drill." She says, pushing me out the door.

She gets me out, and slams the door in my face. Well then. But I'm not affected by it. She's always been in love with sleep. Probably why she doesn't have a boyfriend. 

I exit the building, and walk down the street. The sun is setting, so I decide to take a picture and post it on my Instagram. Within minutes, I feel my phone vibrate. I take it out and see the notification. Shawn sent me a text. 

Feeling artsy today with that pic, huh? 

I smile and I see that ahead of me, there was an empty park. Why not go? Take my mind off things. I reply to Shawn:

Yeah, I guess. Are you ready to perform tonight?

By the way, Shawn is in Ohio right now getting to do a concert there.

Of course! They're always so loud, which makes me feel energized :)

I reply:

Well, have a great night tonight! Don't strain your voice too much <3 

He wrote:

I won't :) <3

I left the message like that, since I got to the park. I sit on a bench, and I take in the view around me. There's bushes, trees, playground, more benches. Typical park. For once, I would love to see a fountain, or something creative.

It's getting a bit late, so I decide to go back home. It was really great to just have some time to breathe. Get away from everything. 

I walk back home and on the way, I see the art museum from afar. I was really lucky to get a job there. Yes, I was able to get a job last week as a type of tour guide. You know, showing people around, introducing art exhibits, that type of stuff. On the plus side, It fits perfectly into my day schedule and pays really good money.

I get home, and I fall on my bed. I think about the holidays again. I really don't want to be lonely these next weeks. Then again, what choice do I have? I wanted to take mom home, but the doctors said no, so I guess I could spend it with her in the hospital. And then there's my dad. 

My first holiday season without him. Why did he have to ruin everything by being such a horrible father? I never did anything to him! But he's paying for what he did now, so I'm kind of relieved to never have to deal with him again. Fingers crossed. 

Spent the last couple hours of the night watching some house decorating show. Its really satisfying, to be honest.  My phone vibrates on the bed. I already know its Shawn, since no one else would be texting me at 12:33 at night, or morning should I say.

I don't know if you're still awake, but just wanted to say that the show was epic, and I need your help.

I reply:

Shawn, you tell me that for every show you do! *laughing emoji*, and what do you need my help on?

He answers:

Sorry :D The thing is, my throat sort of hurts and do you know something that would help? 

I slap my forehead and sigh. He needs to take it easy with his voice. I try to remember some remedies that my mother used to give me when I had this health problem. 

Shawn! Ugh, why did you force your voice? Anyway, I do know one remedy. Try (A/N Add your own treatment for treating sore throats, because I don't really know any, sorry :P )

He replies:

Okay thanks :) Have a good night's sleep tonight <3

I grin and I sent him a kissing emoji. I know, we're a cheesy couple. No need to tell me. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
