¡71!

*Hailey's POV*
•June 8th--6:00pm when Shawn is supposed to come over•

I was sitting in my room contemplating what i was going to say to Shawn when the doorbell rang, along with my phone. Shawn was calling, but i didn't want to talk over the phone, so i went downstairs without it and answered the door. Standing in front of me, holding a dozen roses, was Shawn Peter Raul Mendes. I softly smiled without showing teeth and opened the door wide, welcoming him inside. He smiled big at me and walked into the house.

"You didn't have to bring me flowers." I stated calmly. I wasn't angry, it was sweet, but it felt a little unnecessary.

"I know. I wanted to. Although a dozen roses can't express how much i love you, it's not even close." His smile faded and he looked at me with a straight face after he placed the roses on the table in the kitchen. I let the silence take over the room and began walking upstairs to my room. He followed me after he realized i wanted him to come upstairs, too. We shouldn't talk in the living room or kitchen, since not everyone is out of the house right now. My room is much more private and quieter.

When we got inside we sat next to each other on the edge of the bed. It felt really awkward, since the last time we were together we were, well, together. This was officially the first time i talked to Shawn in person since before the break-up and it felt really odd. We would usually be cuddling, kissing, or making fun of one another right now. Today was much different and a much more serious matter, to say the least.

"So... what did you want to talk to me about? Specifically, i mean." He started, clearing his throat.

"Well, like i told you earlier, i've been thinking a lot. Just sitting alone in my room, or with Ry, Sasha, and Corinne, thinking or talking. About you and me and... us. What i told you earlier was just half of what i want to tell you." I continued staring at my hands and playing with them. It's hard to believe that, at this time just a few days ago, we were dating.

"Okay, i'm listening. Also, everything i told you today and yesterday... i really meant. Just so you know. I wasn't just saying it for pity or for you to forgive me." Shawn responded trying to make eye contact with me. I refused to look into his eyes, or i might start crying.

"Thank you, and i know. You're not like that. I get it. Anyway, i want you to know some things i just recently discovered about myself after our conversation over text. Truly, i don't know why i used love and miss in past tense, because if you ask anyone who lives in this house with me, i've been miserable. Yesterday is the one day i actually... left the house. It was a fun night with my friends, but it didn't feel right going out without you. Everything has just felt so weird without you by my side 24/7. What you said before about just wanting me to be happy all the time... well i know that i'm happiest with you. Shawn i guess what i'm trying to say is that i miss you and... i think i love you." I finally looked up into his eyes at this moment and he grinned. Then we hugged for what felt like forever.

"Hailey..." He started but i quickly cut him off.

"I forgive you." I smiled into his shoulder and we were about to break apart, probably to kiss, but someone barged into my room just then.

"Hailey." It was Nash.

"Nash? What's up?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows. He has never barged in before, he always knocks, so this worried me.

"Hailey, it's Connor and Lily. They got in a car accident." He sounded concerned and really scared for me. I couldn't focus on Shawn or anyone right now except for Lily and Connor. My heart dropped and tears started spilling out of my eyes. Shawn's face was worried and scared as well. I ran to Nash and bombarded him with questions.

"Connor broke his left arm and is recovering, but Lily's still unconscious. They don't know if she's going to make it." Nash informed me pulling me in for a warm hug.

"Where are they?! Back home?!?" I asked bawling my eyes out. Lily not being okay is so fucking messed up. I love her way to much to lose her right now. I'm happy Connor's okay, but now Lily is my main concern.

"Yeah, on the way to an ice cream parlor. Do you want me to drive you to the airport?" He asked still embracing me.

"Yes please. Oh god Nash, i hope she's okay." I cried pulling away to grab my phone.

"I'm coming, too. I wanna be there for you, Hails." Shawn stepped in.

"Shawn you really don't have to. I don't want you to think that if you come i'll love you more than i already do, because that's not the case." I responded wiping tears.

"No, i know. I just wanna be there for you. Please let me." He begged.

"Fine, you can come. I want the rest of the fucked four in the car, too. Hurry." I ordered Nash as Shawn and i ran downstairs to pile into Nash's car. Only Shawn and i (maybe Corinne) were actually going to fly back to Ohio. It's nice to have my friend's there to say goodbye to, though. Nash gathered everyone and in a matter of minutes we were all in the truck on the way to the airport.
