What If I Told You A Story? ; Shawn Mendes

"Just binge watching things we've already seen."

Avelyn

Charlie ended up leaving Canada two days ago. It was now May and making it almost summer time. I loved the summer because it was a season of hanging out with your friends and going out. Doing fun exciting things, even though literally half my life it consisted of staying in all summer.

I usually binge watched shows or just slept in all day. But for the last two years I actually made it my mission to do something exciting. It didn't have to be everyday but it was one thing and at the moment I had no idea what I wanted to do.

Though I still had a whole month to think about it I shook my thoughts away. I continued to clean my apartment, there's moments where I won't clean for two days and just pick up here and there. And then after that it's like full on cleaning mode till everything is organized.

It's mostly because of how my mom always had us clean the house. So I guess it just made me never want my house to be so dirty. I watch shows or even have certain family members that hardly clean and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Like I had this urge to clean but didn't want to be rude so I never wanted for people to feel that way at my house.

I cleaned up my office last before hearing a knock on my front door. I looked at my phone to see that it was two in the afternoon. I walked out of my office and to the door, I opened it to find my best friend standing there.

"I got your favorite, pepperoni pizza with wings and can't forget the cinnamon bread." Shawn said with a smile.

I laughed, "Yay, you're literally the best."

"So I've been told." He said before walking in.

He set the boxes on the coffee table that was sitting in front of my couch. I grabbed the pink lemonade from my fridge and two cups. I then walked over to my couch and sat down next to Shawn.

"Are you ready to binge watch both seasons of Stranger Things and watch IT?" I asked him.

He chuckled, "Well I have seen the movie and a couple episodes of Stranger Things but yes I wouldn't mind rewatching them."

"Great because these have become my obsession." I told him.

"Okay but before we watch that can I just say that you went all out just for a binge watching session? I mean the Christmas lights, the alphabet, and then the red balloons? Wow you deserve an award." Shawn said with a laugh.

"So I'm a little extra, but can you blame me? This show and movie are my life at the moment." I told him.

He nodded, "Yeah I know, especially Steve Harrington and the Loser Club. They're all you talk about."

"Oh hush, now let's watch and eat because I am starving." I told him.

He nodded, "Yup."

After a bunch of pizza, wings, and season one of Stranger Things we took a small pause. I mean we just watched eight hours worth of this show making it already ten at night.

"Um no I still don't see why you love Steve so much." Shawn said as he helped clean up.

I scoffed, "Okay well you won't till we get to season two. But even in season one there were points where my love for him started. But season two definitely seals the deal."

"Honestly I like the idea of Jonathan and Nancy." Shawn imputed.

I cleaned up the living room and setting blankets on the couch. I wasn't about to make Shawn drive home late. Besides we had to continue season two in the morning and still watch IT. That's why we decided to do this over the weekend.

"Okay so do I but why do you?" I asked.

He just shrugged, "Its your typical underdog love story. You know perfect guy gets the girl but then there's the underdog. He's always there for her, keeps her safe, yet because he's the underdog it doesn't happen. So I'm rooting for it to happen just because he's the underdog."

I nodded, "That is exactly what I thought, don't get me wrong I love Steve but Jonathan and Nancy are who I'm rooting for. So they can have each other and then I can be casted to be Steve's new girlfriend."

Shawn started laughing, "You're too much Avelyn."

"Hey trust me in season two your opinions on him will change. Anyways I'll take the couch and you can take my room." I told him.

He raised his eyebrow, "Uh no I'll take the couch and you can have your own bed."

I crossed my arms, "Shawn it's my house, and I am saying I'll take the couch while you have the bed."

He shook his head as he walked over and sat down on the couch. He proceeded to take off his shoes to get comfortable.

"Nope, I have slept on a couch before so it's not a bad thing." Shawn told me trying to reassure me.

But I was stubborn, "Shawn if you don't sleep in my room and let me have the couch we won't be friends anymore."

It was a empty threat but I tried to make it believable. I wonder if he would take the bait and take my bed. He just chuckled and proceeded to lay down on the couch.

"Nice try Avelyn, we know you wouldn't stop being friends with me over who slept on the couch." He chuckled as he closed his eyes.

I sighed, "Fine then the next time its me staying at your place I will take the couch."

He opened one of his eyes and had a grin, "Avelyn you forget I have a spare bedroom. There's absolutely no need for you to sleep on the couch when a bed no one uses is in another room."

He had me there, I remember when I got to Toronto the first time that's where I stayed. I hated him being right and me not being able to get my way at making him comfortable.

"Goodnight Avelyn, stop glaring at me or I'll leave first thing in the morning and you will have to binge by yourself." He said as he laid on the couch with his eyes shut.

I huffed before moving away, I turned the lights off before walking to my room. I stopped by the door and looked at him look so peaceful as he laid on my probably so uncomfortable couch.

"Goodnight Mendes." I said.

I then walked into my room and got ready for bed. Once I was ready I laid down and stared up at the ceiling. I thought a lot about what he said about the underdog. The way he described Johnathan and the way he was to Nancy. The way she still dated Steve even though she had someone like Johnathan next to her.

Maybe it was my late night thoughts trying to make me over think. Or maybe it was my heart and brain trying to actually tell me something. I didn't want to think about it, I rolled on my side and tried to fall asleep.

But I kept thinking about that love triangle.
