Afterglow [Shawn Mendes x Reader]

Chapter 22 - Reunite?

Y/n's P.O.V

My first full week of making videos has been far from normal, I mean my first video has now gone past 7 thousand views. Obviously, that's due to Jack being an amazing friend and promoting me on his channel.

The channel currently has 4.3 thousand subscribers which is a huge jump up. I can't believe all this support that I am receiving just after two videos but my cover of Be Alright by Ariana Grande has reached thousand views and it's only been up for a day.

Reading all the comments below no one has been hating on me. Instead they're sending me praise and complementing my voice.

DoppyPoppy: Wow... y/n owned that song!😍

SweetieShawn: This is so about Shawn

MoonlightTalks: Y/n 😍

OurMendesArmy: Shawn needs to see this video like right now

Mendes98: You need to collab with Ari

TeamY/n: My ears have been blessed💜

I guess this is how Shawn feels when fans compliment him and his outstanding voice, it feels nice to be recognised and I'm glad that I've made people's day even if it's through a 4 minute video.

Thinking about Shawn, I wonder if he's seen the video.

I'm already thinking about another cover but I can't narrow it down between two songs. It's either Begging by Dua Lipa or Perfect Places by Lorde, both songs are by incredible female artists and the lyrics are beautifully written.

Twitter: @y/n quick poll! what should my next cover be... Begging by Dua Lipa or Nothing Else Matters by Little Mix? #NewVideo x

No one has ever complimented my voice and I felt nervous uploading the video but this reaction from my viewers have blown me away. I can see this channel slowly becoming successful and with school ending soon maybe I could look into doing this full time.

My phone buzzes from my bed which pulls me away from my thoughts, looking at the screen Andrew has sent me a message. I wonder what he could want I mean it must be quite late for him right now, hopefully he's okay.

*New Text - Andrew*

Andrew: Hey! So long time since I've heard from you where are you?

Y/n: I'm still at my great aunts in London, why?

Andrew: I just miss you and Shawn is depressing me so thinking of a little trip

Y/n: OMG! YES you should defiantly come out here soon, I miss you. I've been feeling low lately

Andrew: Maybe you two should talk? (Please don't kill me)

Y/n: I don't know Andrew, I'm still a little hurt and I don't know how I'm going to react when I see him. Plus he's busy with the album

Andrew: Y/n he always has time for you, he'll stop the album even if it's just to get 5 minutes with you

Y/n: I guess we should talk, I do still really like him

Andrew: Y/n you have no clue how much he regrets that awards night

Y/n: What you mean?

Andrew: After that night he was getting grilled by Niall, Charlie and Justin. Trust me he knows he messed up big time

Y/n: I don't know, Andrew I mean we were never together anyway

Andrew: Please talk to him before he beats himself up anymore, I cant take it no more

Y/n: Fineeeeeeeee... I'll talk to him for you

Andrew: That's my girl! I'll look at flights now, see you soooooonnnnnn

Y/n: See you soon, can't wait to catch up

Shawn's P.O.V

My plane landed at London Heathrow Airport around 7 am this morning. Me and Andrew were now in a cab heading to y/n's aunts house. No one know's that I am in the UK right now as I didn't want to be followed by fans and paps.

Luckily not even y/n know's I am here everything is a surprise.

I don't normally feel nerves but right now my heart is racing and I feel like it's going to burst out of my chest and into the cab. All this time away from y/n my heart has been aching and I've struggled to sleep at night as I worry about where she is and what she is doing whilst I'm not next to her.

Thankfully, the third album has distracted me for awhile but now I have to face my feelings and have an emotional chat with y/n. We need to workout where we are heading, if we're together or not.

I simply cannot cope being just friends as I need her 24/7 and ideally I would love to have her live with me but if I truly have messed things up beyond repair then I regret it and I'm going to keep my distance.

Looking out the cab's window I admire the cities landscape and architecture as people running through the streets, I wonder where everyone is heading. But it is a work day so I guess it's work related.

London is beautiful just like y/n. Not long until I see her now, I can't wait to take her shopping down Oxford Street or something just to buy her something special.

Opposite me Andrew looks so chill and his face is full of excitement, I know he's been on the phone a lot lately trying to organise this trip out and I owe everything to him but I feel like he's more excited than me to see y/n.
