THREE EMPTY WORDS || Shawn Mendes Fanfic

SKYLAR POV

I walk back into Shawn's bedroom and quietly shut the door behind me. I open his window, poke my head out and watch his car pull out of the driveway and take off quickly. Looking across to my room I can't stop watching what happened in my head.

I close the window, shut the blue curtains and sit on the edge of his bed staring down at myself picking my nails. The last time I was in his room alone was the night of his fifteenth birthday. I placed balloons all over his room and put up a banner above his bed. I smile slightly at the thought, lifting my head and scanning his room.

Slowly I walk over to his mirror and touch my cheek. It's pink and still burns. My eyes flicker up to the corners of the mirror where pictures of Shawn and I are placed. My face brightens with a warm smile, grabbing the strip of memories from two years ago. The strip holds five pictures of us from one of those spendy booths in the mall. We were sixteen, shopping for our first prom. In the first we're making  totally weird faces, the second we're smiling and hugging each other as tight as our bond, the third our tongues are out, the fourth i'm kissing shawn's cheek and the fifth he's kissing mine.

A drop lands on the strip and I didn't even realize I was crying. I wipe my cheeks with my sweater and place the strip back. I glance at the other corner that holds shawn and I posing in a pool when we were three when I notice a picture hiding behind it. I grab the picture and stare.

The picture is from a few months ago when I was still seventeen. Shawn and I had drove to our favorite hill top to watch the sunset and we sat on the hood of his car. We had taken many pictures that night like we normally do but this one was different. I held the camera which was abnormal because Shawn has always been the one who loves taking pictures. The sun is giving our skin a beautiful glow and the moment is so calm, however both of our eyes are shot down to each others lips, faces completely turned towards each other.

I quake at the picture but shake away and drop it. For some reason looking back at this moment made my body warm and soothed. I remember the moment too well. How we were laughing and acting crazy as usual and then turn to each other and everything stops. We stared into each other's eyes and suddenly they both just flickered down and the moment was captured.

Dylan quickly flashes through my mind and it brings me back to reality. If Shawn touches him I don't know if I can ever look at him the same but if Shawn gets hurt I'll have hurt Dylan myself.
