Shawn Mendes Imagines

Silent: For Zainab

This was requested by Zainab_afreen. I hope you like it😄

*Zainab's POV*

It had been seven whole days since my fiance Shawn had talked to me. We were engaged and yet he still hadn't spoken to me in a week.

And we hadn't even fought or argued. As far as I could tell, nothing had gone wrong between us. But eventually, he just stopped speaking to me.

At first, I guessed that it was just stress getting to him. He had a hard job as a singer and it wasn't the first time he had been too busy to spend time with me. But this was different. Every day he would come home late and go to bed almost immediately, before waking up in the morning and leaving for the studio again. It was like I wasn't even there.

After a couple days of silence, I started to try and talk to him.

"Shawn," I said, but he didn't look up, "Shawn what is it? Is there something bothering you?"

"Shawn, you can tell me anything, you know."

"I'm here for you. Please tell me what's wrong."

"Say something. Anything."

"Please."

I tried to get even a word out of him but got nothing.

However, after a week had passed, I decided that I had had enough of his silence and enough of being shut out. I was going to get him to talk no matter what it took. I wanted my Shawn back.

When he came home and walked through the door, I stood in front of him. But he again didn't even look at me. His eyes stayed locked on the floor or his hands as he closed the door behind him. He walked past me and over to sit on the couch.

"Shawn, why aren't you talking to me?" I demanded, trying to put enough anger into my voice.

He still didn't say anything, though. He just sat there looking at his hands in his lap. Like I was invisible. Like he couldn't hear me.

"Look at me," I tried, "Please, at least look at me." Still no luck. "That's it!" I shouted, "I'm tired of being ignored. Either tell me why you're doing this or...or I'm leaving. I swear, if you don't say something, I'll leave right now."

For a second, I got a little bit of hope as Shawn started to move, but it disappeared when I realized he was only moving to grab the TV remote.

"Okay then, fine!" I stormed off towards the door, quickly grabbing my phone and purse. I reached for the door handle, hesitating just slightly.

"Wait, Zainab!" Shawn finally spoke up. He ran around the corner and stopped in front of me. "Please don't leave. I'm sorry," he pleaded.

I just stood there dumbfounded. I didn't know what to say, I was too confused. "Shawn, please explain what is going on."

He sighed, "I didn't think I was enough for you."

"What?" I asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean you deserve better," he explained, "I'm never here for you. I'm always away on tour or gone in general. And I'm worried that you'll find someone who can treat you better than I do. You deserve someone who is with you more than I am, Zainab, so I thought that if I stopped talking to you it might be better for you. I just wanted you to be happy and have the best guy, but I don't know what I was thinking." He looked down at the floor, not meeting my eyes.

It was absolutely heartbreaking to me that he put himself down like that just for not always being with me. "Shawn," I started, "Don't say that. You're the best guy I could have. Sure, you're not always physically by my side, but there is so much more that matters than that. You cut so many corners with your career just so you can talk to me and ask me how my day is every night. You clearly really love and care about me, Shawn, and that it is more than enough for me."

"Thank you," he breathed, "Will you forgive me for ignoring you?"

I stepped closer to him and reached for his hands. I held them both in front of me. "Of course I will," I told, "As long as you promise to tell me if you ever feel like this again. We're supposed to be a team and I want you to know that you can tell me anything."

Shawn finally looked into my eyes, "I promise I will. I've missed you a lot."

"Me too," I said, stepping into his arms and pressing my lips against his. I felt him smile into the kiss.
