Treat You Better - A Shawn Mendes Fanfic ✔️

If Only I Knew (Finale Part 2)

Listen to "Say You Won't Let Me Go" By James Arthur for this chapter :)

....................................

Sadie's POV:

The crowd goes into an absolute frenzy, not expecting Shawn to show up again, and my heart seemed like screaming just as much as the rest of the crowd did, as it skipped and flipped and came to a halt and repeated all of the above.

"So as many of you may or may not know, exactly eight years ago something special happened, so I prepared a special thing for tonight's show, for someone that means the world to me." He then turns his head towards me, and smiling, he says, "Sadie, sweetie, can you come over please?"

By now, my heart was either beating so fast that I didn't feel it anymore, or just had completely stopped, as I carefully made my way up to the stage and walked over to Shawn. The spotlight suddenly turned larger, lighting up also a chair that I couldn't previously see. Shawn invites me to sit down on it, and so I do. My ears had completely muffled the sound of the fans screaming: 100% of my senses were focused on Shawn, and on every single thing that he did.

He then starts to play a melody on his guitar, one I recognized, however I couldn't remember from where it came. "I could write a whole song, a whole album for you, but I just thought that this song expresses what I feel so well, so here it goes... Happy anniversary princess. I hope you like this."

Shawn repeats the melody a few more times on his guitar, until he starts to sing the song very softly, and I could feel myself melting from the very first vowel he sang, the emotions he sang with hitting me so strongly that I could feel them reaching my heart and touching it.

I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
