"Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a long time, but I'm back with a new cover. This is happier by Ed Sheeran. I hope you enjoy."

Walking down 29th and Park

I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier

Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new

'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

Sat on the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you

But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'd feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
I know I was happier with you

Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you

I turned off my camera, edited the video, then posted it to YouTube and Instagram.

@shawnmendes; you make me happier

@shippingshawn; yesssss goaals ^

As I was scrolling through my instagram comments, I got a FaceTime request from Shawn.

"Hey Shawn!" I smiled as his face popped up on my IPhone screen.

"Hey baby. You all ready for tour?" he asked.

"Almost, just need to pack."

"Want me to help?"

"Sure. Come over whenever."

We said our goodbyes and hung up. I grabbed a small suitcase from my closet and unzipped it. I started with undergarments and socks. Then, I moved to shirts, sweaters, and pants. I threw three pairs of shoes in and finished with my toiletries. In a separate tote bag, I put my laptop, journal, headphones, and chargers.

By the time I finished, Shawn was here. I greeted him with a hug and we went up to my room.

"Wanna check and make sure I have everything?" I asked, scarred I would forget something.

Shawn looked through everything and gave me the 'all okay'.

"Just one thing. You might want to bring your camera," he laughed.

I mentally face-palmed myself and grabbed my camera, putting it my tote bag.

After packing, Shawn and I curled up together on my bed, enjoying each other's company.

"I have a question." Shawn spoke into the silence.

"Shoot Mendes." I giggled.

"If I were to ask you to be my girlfriend, would you say yes?" his words sucked the air out of my lungs.

"I have to say I would say yes." I smiled, keeping my cool.

"Okay, then, Talia King will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, looking into my eyes.

"I would love to." I pulled him in for a kiss.

"Tal, we have to go." Shawn woke me up, "we have to catch out flight."

"Five more minutes." I groaned, rolling over on my stomach.

"Nope, not going to happen." Shawn laughed, picking up my body and placing it on the floor.

"Tell me again why you decided on a flight where I have to get up at 4 in the morning?" I asked, standing up.

"Eh, I just felt like it." He laughed.

The sound of a door slamming startled me, causing my body to flinch.

"Whose that?" Shawn asked, closing my door and locking it.

"My dad. I just hope he takes his drunk ass to bed." I laughed.

Heavy footsteps thumped down the stairs. I shoved Shawn behind my curtain and told him to be quiet.

I unlocked the door and curled up in my bed, pretending to be asleep. My door opened and there stood my drunk "dad".

"Talia King, wake your ugly ass up." My eyes popped open at the sound of his words.

He inched closer and closer to my face. He raised his hand in the air, about to slap me, when he was tackled by Shawn.

"Tal, go to my car with your stuff." Shawn said, pinning him down.

I rushed to get my bag and suitcase and rushed up the stairs. I threw everything in the trunk of his car and patiently waited in the passenger side. Shortly, Shawn came running out. He put the keys in the ignition and zoomed off.

"Thank you." I whispered, tears streaming down my face.

"Anything for my baby."
