Traveler of the Sky // Shawn Mendes

It's not all give and take

"I um," turning to look at Abella she looks like she's about to start jumping up and down. "Yeah. I'm here." 

"Hi. I'm Shawn," Shawn stuck his hand out for Abella who at this point now looked ready to pass out. "I didn't know this was your next stop. on your travels."

"Yeah, I didn't know this was yours either." I said turning around to the desk clerk who politely informed they had called room service for us and it would be up shortly.

"Can we talk for a minute?" Shawn says pointing between him and I.

"Sure." Abella said walking away from us smirking and giving me a thumbs up. I glared at her the further away she walked.

"What do you want." I said a little harshly

"I just want to talk. I want to fix whatever we are, friends, more then friends, I don't know but I need to know what we are and if we want to be anything more." Shawn said running his fingers through his hair.

"I don't know what we are either, but let me tell you Mr. your fans hate me. So I think that kind of determines where we stand." I said pointing at Abella and motioning for her to come toward me.

"Oh come on Skylar they'd get over it. I think of you as my friend a good friend at that. Can I please walk you and Abella back to your room?" He asked staring at me now a little nervous at my response.

"Fine." I give in hoping that would be all for this night. That tomorrow I and Abella would go out and adventure more in France before I made my way to Italy to explore more on my own.

We all walked back to the elevator in silence. I think the clerk probably thought we were being kidnapped or something. Shawn leaned against the railing of the elevator. We all waited to hear the ding of the elevator. We stood there in complete silence nothing could have been more deafening. 

"So." I asked leaning against the railing in the elevator.

"Lets cut to it Skylar." Shawn said and I tilted my head looking at him.

"Cut to what?" I say looking at him lost.

I was usually not the type of person to play mind games with a boy. But, Shawn honestly hurt me. Yeah were just friends but what if I wanted something more. What if he wanted something more. He and I would both then have to face the press and say that at the time we were just friends. It would be easier to lie and say I was an old acquaintance. 

"Skylar." Shawn groaned as we finally heard the ding of the elevator signaling that we were at my floor.

"I think its time we both own up to our feelings and just stop kidding around Shawn. We had a good run obviously this wasn't meant to work out." I say pulling out a room key and sliding it into the hotel door. 

"Thank you I'd appreciate if you didn't follow me around the world now." I said closing the door.

Closing that door was the hardest thing in my life. It felt like I was ripping my heart out of my chest. I slid my body down the door listening to what sounded like it was Shawn's body on the other side. Maybe we just needed each other a little while longer. I just couldn't be broken that way again.
