Texting / Shawn Mendes

Goodnight.

I haven't been outside for days. Since Shawn left, all I do is study. My exams are around the corner and I decided to completely focus on it.Me and Shawn haven't talked for almost a week due to the time differences and I really don't want to add even more worries to his already busy lifestyle.

No facetime, no messages. Just random likes on my instagram pictures. Last night, I accidently liked a picture of him from 2015 and I couldn't have been more thankful for the time difference.
I really miss our late night conversations, sharing our thoughts on random subjects and laughing for hours with our stupid jokes.

Our "relarionship" is complicated. We haven't talked about what happened that night...

It is currently midnight. I'm still studying but I stopped as soon as my phone rang. I walked to my bed and grabbed it. Without looking at the caller I answered it.

"Malia?" A surprised voice talked to me.

"What do you want Michael?" I replied frustarated.

"Andrea is out of control."

"And why did you call me?"

"Because... because I know that you still care."

"What do you mean by "she's out of control"?" I asked ignoring his statement.

"She is drunk. "

"Okay? Why are you acting like it's the first time?" I said harshly.

"Because she's locked in the bathroom and she doesn't reply when I call her name...I...I don't know what to do."

"Break the damn door, you idiot."

"What if she gets hurt? What if she's unconcious?"

"What do you want me to do Michael? I can't help either."

I could feel his unsteady breathing through the phone.
I took a deep breathe.

"Michael?"

No reply.

"Michael?" I said louder than before.
At this point I knew he was crying.

"Michael listen to me, okay? Everything's going to be okay. Just breathe." I knew that if I didn't calm him down, he will soon have a panic attack.

"Michael you have to breathe." I said one more time.

I listened to his unsteady brething and I let out a breathe that I didn't know that I was holding.

A loud noice caught me off charge and my phone almost fell off my hands.

"Malia?"

"Michael! What happened?"

"I broke the door." His voice is still shaking and I feel sick to my stomach.

"And?" I asked unsure.

"She's okay. She fell asleep in the restroom. I'll just take her home. Sorry for stressing you out at 2 a.m."

I sighed. Thank God she's okay.

"Oh... yeah no worries." I managed to say before the line got dead.

I lied in bed exhausted. It had been a long day...
My phone rang again and I picked it up without looking at the caller. I should stop doing this...

"Malia?" A familiar voice called for me.

"Shawn?" I replied smiling.

"Can you please facetime me? I really miss your face."

My heart was pounding like crazy.

"Yeah." and I accepted his call.

He was lying in bed as well. His face was resting on his pillow and his hair was all over the place. His eyes were scanning the screen and an adorable smile painted his face. My heart was now melting like ice, in a sunny day of August.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too, baby."

Baby. His eyes were wide open in realization and dozens of questions run through my mind.

"Shawn?" My voice shaking.

"I know... I move way too fast."

"No... no... I... really missed you." And it has been a long day...

Why am I crying? I'm still unsteady from Michael's sudden call, studying for hours, from what happened yesterday, and because right now I really need Shawn by me.
I left my phone on bed and ran to the bathroom. I splashed my face with cold water trying to calm my nerves. I walked back to my bed and picked my phone again.

"What happened?" His worried voice asked as soon as I looked at the screen.

"Oh don't worry about it. Something got in my eye but now everything is fine."

"Yeah... look I want to ask you something."

"Sure what's up?"

"Wanna come on tour with me?"

My mouth shaped in an "O" and my eyes were wide open from shock.
I wanted to say something but nothing came out. I stayed there, my eyes wide open and unable to reply to his question. I felt like I forgot how to talk or think.
When I didn't say anything he continued.

"Look, I know that your exams finish in a few weeks and I don't want to add more worries to you so right now all I want you to do is to stay focus on your exams and let me know what your answer is by then."

I smiled and he signed.
He's cute.

"So, what are you studying?"

"Biology."

"Oh."
I chuckled.

"How's tour going?" I asked.
I know that now that he's only getting bigger and bigger he faces a lot of difficulties...

His smile faded. I offered him a sad smile but he kept his eyes away from the screen.

"Hey." His eyes finally looked up.

"I know that it's hard but I need you to know that you handle it perfectly. "

He smiled at me.

"Thanks."

I heard a door open and then close again before someone jumped on Shawn's bed, and his phone almost fell from his hands. I chuckled again. A male's face appeared on the screen and looked at me smiling.

"Heyyy. And who are you?" The male asked.

"Hi." I said and waved my hand awkwardy.

"This is Malia." Shawn said before I could reply.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Mike." He said and waved back at me.

I yawned and both of them giggled.

"Someone's tired." Shawn smiled.

"Hey.. it's 3 a.m what am I supposed to do? Throw a party?" I said and laughed at my own joke. Both looked at me like I'm a crazy person.

"I think it's time for you to sleep." Shawn stated smiling at my lame joke.

"Yeah." I said and yawned again.

"Goodnight." Both of them said at the same time and looked at each other surpised.
I chuckled before murmbeling a goodnight and ending the call.
Seconds pass by before my eyes finally closed and allowed me travel far away from here. Somewhere, that everything is possible and reachable.
