Bad Reputation (Shawn Mendes)

thirty seven

Jazz's POV

Halloween is a big time for me and my family. We always go all out, we decorate the house up and always end up going over the top with the decorations but some how it works. This year me and Syd are hosting a party at mine and since my Mum and Dad are going away they won't be here. Me, Syd, Dan, Shawn, Jake and Char all carved some pumpkins yesterday so we've lined them all up in the garden so they can be lit tonight . Last year I dressed up as a dead bride and this year I'm dressing up as a Victoria secret angel gone mad (thanks for the costume idea Ariana😉) Syd is coming over and we're making some Halloween themed food and then I'm doing her make up. I ordered loads of special effects makeup online so Shawn, Dan, Jake and Char are all coming early so I can do their makeup. My costume consisted of a white silk Victoria secret gown that I got cheap on eBay covered in blood and big white angel wings. I ripped the wings slightly to make them look worn out, put in some white contact lenses and covered my face in blood and cuts. About an hour before the party started Shawn, Dan, Jake and Char all came over. I was halfway through curling my hair so Syd had to entertain them until I finished. Once I was finished with my hair I turned off my curlers and made some last minute adjustments to my outfit. Just as I was about to head downstairs there was a knock at my door.
"Come in." I shouted and Shawn entered wearing his zombie costume. He was wearing a white ripped shirt and ripped black jeans. He also had some cuts and gash tattoos on his neck and arms.
He smirked. "I can't find a costume for Halloween, so can I just go as your boyfriend?"
"You look great!"
"Not as good as you." He pulled me in for a kiss. I took the other pair of contact lenses off the side and carefully put one in his eye. "So I was thinking we could tell the others about us today. Have you've told the guys about us?"
He blinked a few times to secure the contact lense in his eye properly. "Nope."
I put the other contact his eye. "Really?"
He blinked a few times again. "Why are you so shocked?"
"Close your eyes." I sprayed some grey wash off hair dye in his hair and ran my fingers through it to blend it all in. "I thought you would've told them. Especially after the other night"
"Well I didn't."
I smiled.
Once I was finished adding some blood and cuts to Shawn's face we headed downstairs and I done everyone else's make up so we all took a group picture together. The picture looked great so I put a Halloween filter on it and then uploaded it to Instagram saying 'getting spooky'. We were all outside setting up the party entertainment. Me and Syd set up beer pong whilst Jake and Char set up apple bobbing and Shawn and Dan set up the drinks table. As soon as I caught Shawn's attention I eyeballed him to grab Jake and tell the boys we are together whilst I grab Char and tell her.
I grabbed Char and pulled her to the beer pong table.
"Syd already knows this but I have some news." I paused for a moment. "Me and Shawn are together."
"What like boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yeah."
She smiled. "I knew it!"
"How?"
"When Lyndsey spiked your drink he was the first one to come to your rescue and you two cannot stop staring at each other when you're in the same room. Me and Jake are like get a room."
Syd cut in. "And they did."
"What!!"
"We had sex."
"Well you look good together."
I smiled. "Thank you."
As soon as people started to arrive I plugged my phone into some speakers and played a Halloween playlist. I stayed with Shawn for most of the night and people stared to realise something was going on. A couple of people even asked me if we were together so I told them the truth. All the food was eaten up pretty quickly and everyone loved the games. We even had a couple of children knock on the door to trick or treat so I gave them some of the sweets me and Syd bought earlier. I challenged Shawn to a game of beer pong and won again.
"If we were playing hockey you would've been been dust." He said before downing the the last drinks infront of him.
"I've never actually played ice hockey."
"Well we are going tomorrow and I'm teaching you."
He pulled me closer and kissed me. I wanted the kiss to be longer but we were interrupted.
"I knew it!"
Both of us rolled our eyes soon as we heard Lyndsey's dreaded voice.
"What the hell do you think you two are doing."
None of us said anything and everyone went silent. It's not like we can lie she literally saw us kissing. The song that was playing ended and thriller came on.
"Well is someone going to explain themselves."
Shawn was about to speak but I got there first. "Me and Shawn are together."
She turned to Shawn and chucked. "You chose this slag over me."
I cut in. "Let me go find a tear to shed." Everyone around us went silent.
She turned to Shawn. "You're gunna let her speak to me like that?"
He smirked. "She's my girlfriend and she can do whatever she wants."
The first verse in triller finished and the chorus started. I'm not letting this bitch ruin my favourite Halloween song. I quickly grabbed Shawn's hand and ran to the middle of the room. We started dancing to the and soon after Sid and the others joined. Eventually everyone got up and danced causing Lyndsey to run out in a strop. "The witch is gone!" Syd yelled making me and the others burst into laughter.
I went apple bobbing after and got the apple in one of the quickest times.

Shawns POV

"It seems like things with you and Jazz are going well."
"Yeah." I replied.
"Have you two had sex yet?"
"Yes."
"So you won."
My face dropped. "That bet was stupid. And I regret ever making it. So as of now we will never mention it again.
Dan looked surprised.
"I'm serious. I really like her and I don't want to ruin it."
Dan looked. surprised."
"It's not all about sex."
"You're different." Jake said.
"Well maybe this girl is different."

Jazz' POV

The next day Shawn took me skating and I couldn't stop thinking about what Sid and Char said last night. We put on our boots and headed onto the ice. I've never been good at skating. I always manage to fall over some how.
He took my hands in his. "Just glide your feet one infront of the other."
"I know how to skate Mendes."
"I know but this is how I was taught and if I'm teaching you how to play Ice Hockey you're learning my way."
I did as he said and kept my eyes on my feet.
"Don't look down at your feet look at me."
I looked back up at him and he smiled.
He took me around the rink a couple of times before letting go of my hands.
"Now try it on your own."
I looked down and glided my feet one after the other.
"Stop looking down." He shouted across the rink.
I sighed and then looked infront of me. This time Shawn was behind me so I had no one to focus on. I made my way to the other side of the rink without falling. I grabbed onto the side and turned back around. Shawn skated up to me. "Now skate to the other side again but this time I will skate along side you." I skated to the other side and managed to get there without slipping or losing my balance. We skated around the rink a couple more times and then he taught me how to play ice hockey. It took me a while to get the hang of it but it wasn't as bad as I thought. We stopped off at a Tim Hortons on the way home and ordered two hot chocolates.
"So how did you get into ice hockey?" I asked as the warmth of my hot chocolate heated my hands.
"I started playing when I was 13 and I hated it. I remember being so upset after my first game because I was the weakest link on the team and no one would pass to me. I remember coming home to my Dad saying I hate this, I'm not good at all, no one will play with me and he said well you could just quit or you can be persistent and try to practice. So every Monday he would pick me up from school and we would go skating. By the end of the year I was a really good hockey skater and that made me want to keep playing."
"Your dad seems like a really great guy."
"He is."
"Have you ever thought about writing a song for him?"
"I have. When I first knew I wanted to be a singer he was the first person I told and he said to me that I had to write a song before I could even think about being a singer. So I did and I showed him the next day."
"What was it called?"
"My time."
I remember Shawn singing a song called my time when I visited him at one of his Magcon shows. There was a slight pause as we both sipped our drinks.
"Have you met my dad?" He asks.
"Once I think."
"You haven't met him as my girlfriend yet have you?"
"No."
"Now I think about it you haven't met any of my family as my girlfriend."
"I guess I haven't."
"Well you're about to."
