Shawn Mendes Imagines

new girlfriend

"you know shawn will be back in town in a few days," my mom said as she read a magazine.

"yeah." i said before letting out a sigh. i missed shawn, but i knew we weren't going to see each other. we were broken up, we had our times together. it's time to just let go.

"he has a girl friend now. her name is erica gold." she said as she got up off the leather couch.

"oh," i felt my heart sink a little. it didn't surprise me that shawn moved on. it has been months since we broke up, it just hurts to know that he has.

"well i'm going to go for a walk, i'll be home in about an hour." i said to my mom as i grabbed my coat and walked out the door.

i held my coat close to my body as a cool breeze ran through my hair. the orange and brown leaves fell from the trees and covered the sidewalks. i always loved fall, the cool weather, football games, halloween. it was the perfect time of the year.

i was trying to get my mind off of shawn, but it wasn't working so well. everywhere i looked it reminded me of him. the park where we had our first kiss, the small coffee shop we used to talk and eat muffins at, the theater where we had our first date, the bus stop where we went our separate ways.

i sat down on the wooden bench at the bus stop. i remember that night like it was yesterday.

"you know i love you more than anything right?" he said grabbing my hands.

"Yes," i said a little worried.

"And you know I would never hurt you, right?"

that's when I braced myself. I knew that when he said that it wasn't going to be good. No one says that unless they are about to hurt you.

"Tour starts in a few days, and I'm going to be gone for months. i don't want you to be here by yourself waiting for me to come home. I think it would be better if we broke up."

My phone buzzed in my pocket breaking me out of my thoughts.

Mom- so apparently we are having dinner with Shawn and his parents tonight, so come home now

My hands were shaking, my whole body went numb. i thought he wasn't supposed to come home until later this week, and I definitely didn't think they would invite me to eat dinner with them.

his familiar chocolate colored brown eyes met mine, my heart was doing summersaults in my chest. my eyes drifted from his to a pair of baby blue ones. the warm fuzzy feeling I was feeling turned to jealousy and anger. i knew that girl with the blue eyes was Erica. The new girlfriend.

•
"Can I talk to you?" I jumped when I heard the high pitch voice talk to me as I put my plate in the sink. I turned around to see erica standing beside the fridge.

"Uh sure." I said nervously.

"You're the girl Shawn broke up with right?" She asked walking closer to me.

"Um, yeah." I said feeling my chest tighten.

"That's what I thought," she said letting out a soft sigh.

"why?" I asked confused.

"I saw the way he was looking at you as we ate dinner. it's obvious that he still loves you. he always talks about you, and he doesn't mean to. It's like your name just rolls right off his tongue." She said crossing her arms over he chest and leaning against the counter.

i opened my mouth to say something, but i was interrupted by shawn.

"Erica are you-." He stopped in the middle of his sentence when his eyes met mine.

"bye erica." I said shaking my head and grabbing my purse.

"Wait y/n." i heard shawn call after me as i walked out of the kitchen. it was the first time tonight that he was actually talking to me.

"can we talk please?" he asked.

"what is there to talk about Shawn?" I asked stopping and and turning around to face him.

"We need to talk about that night at the bus stop." shawn said with desperation in his voice.

"what about it?" I asked confused.

"I made a mistake. I was going through a lot, and I- I don't know I just thought that it would be better, but it's not. I'm miserable without you." Shawn confessed.

"Shawn you have Erica." I said softly afraid she could hear our conversation.

"What?" Shawn asked pushing his eyebrows together.

"You know erica that girl that your dating." I said reminding him like he forgot or something.

"We're not dating," Shawn said, "we're working on a song together."

"Then why is she here?" I pulling my purse over my shoulder.

"Because we are working on a song together. Since I'm off from tour, and she is in town since she has a concert tomorrow in Toronto, we decided to have dinner and then work on the song." Shawn explained. 

"But the magazine-." He cut me off and rolled his eyes.

"All that is, is lies. They just assume because I've been seen with a girl I'm dating her." Shawn said annoyance laced in his voice.

"Oh." Was all I managed to say. I mean the boy I love just confessed he regrets breaking up with me, and all I say is "oh."

"So what do you say," Shawn grabbed my hands with his large ones, "can we start this again?"

I smiled and squeezed his hands lightly, "yes."
