Roses ➳ Shawn Mendes [2] ✓

Chapter 31

Do you know that moment, when your life is upside down and something so good happens to you and you feel it is just unreal? That was exactly how Signe was feeling after she broke their kiss. Fortunately, that wasn't a dream she would wake up from, yet there was still some things that needed sorting before moving on.

In order to Shawn continue and finish his concert, Signe joined her friends again who smiled as widely as her. Blake sent her a proud look, but not because he was proud of what had happened on stage but because he was proud of himself. It was his way to say 'see I was right?' to which she replied by sticking her tongue out like a child. She sat again on her seat next to Niall and smelled the rose she was holding. Gosh, it smelled good the girl thought as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment. Despite all the happiness, sadness was something she was also feeling. Signe wished her mother was there to support her, to see how her life might start composing itself again. She would have to visit her grave soon, face it and try to move on as well as to check up on Daniel again to see how he was doing. 

"You all knew about this right?" Signe inquired to her friends. They all nodded as a response, Shawn beginning to sing again to finish his performance. He wasn't as nervous anymore, instead, the boy didn't seem to be able to stop smiling. He was so happy and feeling the moment he did more higher notes than usual, nailing them. 

At the end of the performance, everyone went backstage where they would meet up with Shawn again soon. Shawn's mother and father couldn't help but tell Signe how they had felt when their son told them what they had done, how they thought it wasn't the best choice he made, yet they had to respect him. Aaliyah also showed her point of view more openly calling her own brother an idiot, which secretly everyone agreed with.

"See? You could have saved me from a headache if you just did what we told you to do." Blake protested to Signe as they waited for Shawn. Eva rolled her eyes and sighed walking over to Niall who stared at the blond and the ginger with curiosity.

"Oh shut up, as if you would be very happy if you were me." She retorted. She punched his stomach playfully while putting on an angry face.

"Fortunately, I'm not. You're a pain in the ass."

"I'd tell you to go fuck yourself, but that would be cruel and unusual punishment." Signe spoke as she crossed her arms over her chest. She heard Niall laugh next to her, Eva sighing and saying something to the Irish man next to her she wasn't able to understand what it was.

"Huh? I'm sorry, I was ignoring you." He riposted with a grin and poked her nose. Signe opened her mouth to speak again when she heard Shawn's voice.

"Alright, please don't kill each other." Shawn pleaded whilst Blake's girlfriend thanked the Lord. No one could blame her, Blake and Signe had evolved to the next step in their relationship were roasting each other would be a daily thing.

Signe glanced over to the boy, to see Charlie Puth next to him, a grin on his face as he observed the two. Well, there's another someone she wasn't expecting to meet that way. 

"I don't promise anything. Anyways, we need to talk." The ginger tried to be as direct as possible. She didn't want to lose courage or it would take her too long to sort things out with Shawn. 

"Sure!" Although he had smiled at her, the girl could see the panic in his brown caramel eyes, he grabbed her hand and led her to the room backstage where they would have privacy, away from the prying eyes and all the curiosity. They both sat on the couch face to face, facing each other silently for brief seconds until the ginger spoke. 

"I never thought you would do something like that for me." She admitted as she caressed the rose's petals from the rose she was still holding, her eyes on the flower.
