"Memories, even bittersweet ones, are better than nothing." ~ Jennifer Armentrout
I quickly got out of my bed and looked over at the clock 4:05 am it read. I ran around my room trying to find something decent to wear, I just pulled on my favorite pair of black leggings and an oversized hoodie. I pulled on my vans and went into the bathroom to bush my teeth and do my hair.
After that I went to my parents room and knocked on the door. "One of you better be up! I need to go like now!" I shouted I waited by the door, it's slowly opened and my mother came out. "Do I really have to bring you to the airport? Can't you just text Shawn bye?" She asked me "no, it's not the same thing mom! Come on before his plane leaves!" I say. She goes back into her room, I hope she was getting ready. "I'll be in the car!" I shouted
I grabbed the car keys and went outside the sun wasn't even up yet. I started the car and got into the passages seat, I texted Shawn asking if he was at the airport yet. After about ten minutes my mom came out of the house, she looked like she was ready to kill me. "Why couldn't you ask your father to do this?" She asked me "because, he makes it weird being around Shawn" I tell her. He would always tell Shawn to watch out and be careful with me. He was embarrassing me and Shawn would just laugh it off. Shawn would tell me it wasn't embarrassing and he understood he didn't want his daughter to 'get hurt'.
I would only get hurt if I fall for him, and right now I was hoping I didn't. I knew I was lying to myself if I didn't say I didn't like Shawn. Even if I did, we would never work I mean, he's getting on a plane today to leave! I don't think confessing my true feelings would be the best. Did he even like me back? I just kept thinking about this the whole way there.
"When are we going to get there? Shawn told me he's going through security now" I say looking over at my mom. "Just ten more minutes" she tells me. I let out a groan and slumped down in my seat staring out the window, Shawn was going to be gone before I even get to say goodbye. Not like I wanted to say goodbye, maybe it was better this way.
I watch all the cars drive by then soon saw the airport in front of us "park in front of there!" I shouted to my mom she gives me a look before doing so. I quickly unbuckle myself and run out of the car "I'll be right back!" I shout to my mother as I closed the car door. I quickly text Shawn asking where he was, I entered the airport through the baggage claim. Honestly anyone could enter this way, I don't think that's safe.
I stood there waiting for Shawn to reply to me, as soon as I got the text message I started running towards the gates. Maybe I didn't look crazy, I could just be running late for my flight. Or maybe I look like a crazy teenage girl that doesn't belong here.
This was probably the most exercise I've gotten in my whole life, why did Shawn have to be at the last gate on the other side of the freaking airport. I finally managed to get to the gate without tripping or falling over any thing, I almost fell over someone sitting on the floor charging their phone
I stood there trying to find Shawn, I stood there trying to catch my breath I felt like I was going to pass out. "Camila, did you just run a marathon or something?" I turned around to see Shawn standing behind me "no I was trying to find you before your flight took off" I say in between breaths "I really need to start walking out" I added "clearly you do" he answered I glared at him.
"Mendes, I woke up at four in the morning to say goodbye to you. Don't be rude to me cause I will leave without giving you a hug" I tell him "okay, okay" he said laughing. We stood there for a couple of seconds not really knowing what to say to each other. Usually we are never at lost for words, we never were quite. "I'm gonna miss you" I answered I looking down at the floor. Why was I suddenly becoming all emotional? I knew he had to leave, but here I was holding back my tears in an airport.
"Hey, Camila don't cry" Shawn tells me pulling me into a hug. "I'm not gonna cry" I say trying to convince myself "we'll see each other soon" he tells me, in a couple of months we would see each other again. "I know" I answered. I try to pull myself together and try to look up at him, I fail miserably. I knew if I looked up and saw that cute little smile I would break down into tears.
"Shawn" we both look over to see his mother calling him over "I have to go soon" he simply tells me "hold on, just hug me for a little longer" I say placing my head on his chest "would it be crazy if I asked you to stay?" I asked him "no, but you know I can't" he answered "stay, please?" I asked I already knew the answer, but I had to ask anyways. "You know the answer" Shawn simply says "I know" I answered. His mother calls him name one more time. "I guess this goodbye" I say "how about see you later?" He asked I nodded my head and smiled. "I'll call and text you everyday okay" he says "okay" I answered.
I give him one last hug he then pulls away and starts to walk away, he turns and gives me a smile before waving goodbye. I wave back to him and just watch him walk away from me. Soon he was out of sight everyone had boarded the plane. I took a seat near the window and just watched the plane take off, I quickly pulled my phone and took a picture of the plane. I needed one last photo.
I got up started making my way back to the car. Suddenly a wave of emotions just hit me, he way gone. The tears started to fall he wasn't here to see me cry. I was a mess, I was a teenage girl crying in an airport. I finally made it back to the car, my mother gave me a sympathetic look. She knew I was upset and didn't dare to ask me if I was okay.
We started to drive away from the airport, I looked out the window wondering if I could see his plane from here. We were in complete silence, my mom decided to turn on the radio. A familiar tune starts to play, Life Of The Party, I knew that song anywhere. My mom goes to switch the station knowing if I heard Shawn's voice I'd probably start crying again.
"Leave it, his voice calms me" I tell her.
