Air ⇔Shawn Mendes V. Lauren Jauregui

Ammo for D

LANA

We got on the plane and I just listened to music majority of the flight until I got a text.

"Dylan😒: hey listen I know you don't want to talk to me but I really want to be in Brendon's life even if I can't be in yours. I know I walked out and you hate me for it, but at least give me a chance? I'll be at the next tour stop and I know you have a break for a few days. If you don't want to give me a chance with you or Brendon at least let me see you to apologize in person. I think I might still have feeling for you Lana, but I don't want to know for sure because I know you don't like me anymore and that's okay because I deserve your hatred. All I ask is for you to answer this text L it would mean the most. Bye."

Oh what the fuck? Since when did he care about me.

"Me: but you don't care about me Dylan you showed that when you left."

"Dylan😒: when I saw you at that diner with the other dude holding Brendon I didn't realize how much I missed you until then and how much I wanted to be able to call your son, our son."

"Me: idk Dylan I just got my heart broken...."

"Dylan: 'I can fix that.' ~ Sam from Holes."

"Me: Jesus fuck you remembered😂😂😭"

"Dylan: how could I forget a girl like you"

I started to make my way to the bathroom. When I got in I texted him again.

"Me: call me I've got like 10 minutes cause I'm hiding in the bathroom."

(D-dylan m-me)
D: hey L
M: hi...
D: this is more awkward than I expected.
M: yup
D: listen Lana if you don't want me bac-
M: I want Brendon to have a dad Dylan I really do, but I don't know if I can trust you with any part of me again
D: I wasn't ready then Laney. I'm more mature now and I want to try and be his dad. Even if that means I can't be with you, I want to be in Brendon's life.
D: Please L just let me try?
M: Ok Dylan but if we end up wanting to try we have to take it slow just take sometime
D: Of course Lana. Whatever you say will always sound good. I'll take as much time as you give me. Every last second.

M:I got to go they're gonna be suspicious and I left Brendon with the girls it's going to be a mess when I get back.
D: haha okay have a safe flight. What time are you landing? I can meet you at your hotel cause I know being at the airport to pick you up will have paparazzi jumping with joy
M: yeah we'll be at ski hotel 30 minutes away from the airport and we land in like 45 minutes
D: Okay I'll try and be there, I can't promise anything. If I don't make it today I'll see you tomorrow is that okay?
M: Yeah I planned on taking Brendon and going shopping but if you'd like you can join?
D: I'd love to. Now go get to your seat missy you're gonna get in trouble with the girls.
M: Yeah I've just been stalling because I don't want to see Shawn...
D: Don't stall because of him! Walk out there and be the confident little shit you are!

We started to laugh and I just sighed

M: Okay I actually have to go this time Dylan I'll talk to you later
D: see ya later... babe...

I hung up and walked out. "What took you so long?" Dinah asked as I sat between her and Brendon, he was by the window and I had the middle seat. I sighed and smiled a little. "I got a call from Dylan, Brendon's dad." Her face dropped as I said this.

"Do I need to beat the fuck out of someone?" She said covering Brendon's ears. I shook my head as my eyes started to water. "Brendon honey, you wanna look out the window at all the clouds? The clouds at every pretty!" She said opening the window blind for him. While his attention was on the clouds she grabbed me and pulled me into her shoulder. I silently cried and just sat there with her. "He finally wants to be in his life D. He wants to be there!" I said wiping my eyes.

She was about to say something until the speakers started to ding meaning we were landing so we needed to put our seat belts on.

"What do you mean Laney?"
"He said he's gonna be at the hotel and if he can't make it there he was going to go shopping with me and Beebo tomorrow. I'm not letting him in that easy if that's what you think. I told him it would take time and he said he'd take all the time he can get. Maybe this is real Dinah, but I can't be too sure." She nodded at me and squeezed my hand as I grabbed a half asleep Brendon and our carry ons. We walked off the plane to fans and paparazzi everywhere.

When we finally got to the car I opened my phone to a few texts. One from my mom, three from Dylan, with a missed call, and 2 from Shawn.

Mom: have fun over there baby and take good care of Brendon. I forgot to mentions before you left that Dylan stopped over while you were with the girls the other day. I think he's ready Lana. He said he was gonna get ahold of you. If he didn't get ahold of him and take your time because I know you're hurting. Don't get hurt so easily again. Build yourself up before someone tries to tear you down further.

Dylan: your fans are nuts
Dylan: I'm in the lobby so when you get here I'll be waiting
Dylan: your mom texted me and told me about the whole thing with Shawn. I'm here for you Babygirl just know that.

Voicemail from Dylan: hey I know your landing and that's why I'm leaving a voicemail because I know you're afraid of turbulence and taking off/landing while on a plane I just want you to know I figured it out. I do really like you still and I want to be apart of your life and I want to help build you up again even if by the end that means we can't be together than so be it as long as I can be with our son I'll be okay with it because I'll have a piece of you to hold still. Call me when you get in the van.

Shawn: hey I know you were on the phone in the bathroom with Dylan
Shawn: you were probably FaceTiming him while you went to the bathroom that's gross you know? I can't wait till the fans know.

I rolled my eyes at Shawn's texts and handed my phone to Dinah.
"Since you feel like beating someone up here's some ammo for you."
