Shawn Mendes Imagines

Act Like You Love Me

A/n: That song is just....😢😢😢

*Y/n's POV*

As I walked into our house after work, it was quiet even though I knew Shawn was home. Hanging up my keys by the door, I headed towards his office and stopped just outside the door. He sat at his desk, focused while scribbling things down on a piece of paper and typing on his laptop. "Hey, Shawn, I'm home," I told, leaning against the door frame.

"Oh, hey," Was all he responded with and he didn't even look up from what he was doing.

How he was acting didn't really surprise me because of how things were going lately. We seemed to be drifting apart, especially since Shawn had been on tour for months before then.

Maybe sounding a little annoyed, I tried again to get his attention, "Do you want to maybe go out and get something for dinner? We can go wherever you want."

Again, barely even acknowledging that I had said anything, he shook his head, "I'm pretty busy right now."

I rolled my eyes at him and spun on my heel, heading for our bedroom. I couldn't believe how he was acting. I wasn't trying to sound needy, but Shawn was pretty much ignoring me. Even though he was busy with his career, it had been like this for weeks. It just didn't feel like we were in love anymore.

When I reached our room, I grabbed my suitcase and started to pack all my clothes and personal items within it. Once I had everything stuffed tightly in the bag, I stepped through the doorway and around the corner, only to run into Shawn who's eyes flickered from my face to the rolling suitcase that had stopped beside me.

He looked confused as his lips stayed slight parted, "Where are you going? And what's all that stuff?"

"Now you decide to talk to me," I looked up at his face, putting a hand on my hip, "Look I know you're busy a lot, but I feel like we're drifting apart. It seems like things are different than they used to be."

"Wait, you can't leave me, I need you," Shawn protested, finally seeming to comprehend what was happening. His eyes, on the verge of tears, stared straight into mine as he stood between me and the door.

"Shawn, I'm sorry," I started to get emotional when though I had to do it, "I don't want to break your heart and leave you here crying, but I can't stay here with you. I don't love you like I used to."

A tear slid down Shawn's cheek as he pleaded more, "Please, just stay here tonight," he reached for my hands and I let him hold both, "Just act like you love me for one more night. I'll do whatever you want and I'll give you anything you ask for. Even if it's wrong, I need to make sense of this before you say goodbye. Please, I know soon you'll be over this, but I need one more night to lay with you in my arms so I can go on."

More tears ran down Shawn's flushed face making me feel terrible for my decision. "I'm so, so sorry, Shawn. But you can't fake love," I cried, planting a small kiss on his soaked cheek as he flinched. He barely looked up at me as I turned towards the door. Looking over my shoulder, I saw Shawn take a shaky breath, attempting to calm himself down, but failing.

"Goodbye, Shawn. Hopefully, we can see each other again sometime," I took one last look at his closed eyes and arms wrapped around himself before going out the door, "Bye."
