Her trust completely broken, Camila tries to move on and forget about Shawn, her ex boyfriend who admitted that he dated her because he was dared to. She broke up with him immediately. The only problem is, she still loved him and she knew that she w...
That stung. That really stung. But she couldn't hate me.. could she?
•Camila•
I couldn't hate him. I knew I couldn't. I can't hate him. I love him too much to hate him even if it was just a dare on his part!
I think I should just sort this out. Get over with this. Let him explain and then we'll be back to our normal routines. Yeah.
Camila If you want to explain. Meet me at the same Starbucks. Tonight 11:30. When the lights are low.
I sent the text and got a reply almost immediately.
Shawn Really?! Oh my god thank you Okay I'll see you tonight!
I sighed checking the time. It was now 2:39 and I was tired so I decided to sleep the evening away... lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I finally woke up it was 7:54 pm and I was starving. So I grabbed the leftover Subway sandwich that I had eaten half of yesterday. I quickly poured some Coca-Cola in glass and sat down in front of the t.v watching - guess what?- pretty little liars.
* "RUNNNNN JUST RUNNNN!!!" I screamed at the t.v. Allison - in the show- looked behind her and then it ended. What?! I checked the time and it was 10:36 pm. Well, I should be getting ready to meet Shawn.
I quickly showered - don't wanna stink - and put on a casual outfit. I then proceeded to braid down my hair and then pulled it to one side.

I checked the time and it was 11:13 pm and the nearest Starbucks is 20 minutes away from my house which is good - I think - at times.
I got in my car and drove to Starbucks not really ready to face my ex-boyfriend again. But I knew I had to do this.
When I reached Starbucks I saw Shawn already standing there, hands in his pockets, waiting for me. I took a deep breath and walked to him my hands and feet shaking.
"Hey" Shawn spoke once I'd reached him and he'd seen me.
"Hi.." I said taking a deep breath. He motioned me to come sit down across from him and I did, hanging my purse on the seat.
"So, I already ordered for us.." he said
"Thanks w-" I said but he cut me off
"An Iced caramel macchiato with a brownie right?" He asked raising his eyebrows
"Uh.. yeah" I said bewildered that he knew my favourite things to get from Starbucks.
"How'd you-" I started but he cut me off... again
"We dated for 7 months Camila, I know" he said calmly and I lowered my head flinching when he said 'we dated'
"It wasn't Real was it?" I muttered under my breath.
"W-what Camila no you're.." he said but silenced when he saw my tears.
"Camila I'm-" he started and then started getting up to come to me but I rose my hand up motioning him to be quiet and he sat back down
"Don't. Don't show me sympathy because if you do I'll fall again and I don't want to. If I fall again I know I'll never be the same" I said and wiped the remaining of my tears.
"I-I should get the food.." he said slowly and got up out of his seat heading for the counter. As soon as he was gone I took out my phone from my purse and opened the notes app. I had gotten a ton of lyrics in my mind at the moment and I needed to get them OUT.
When Shawn returned with the stuff I was still furiously typing away at my phone. He put my drink and brownie in front of me and I muttered a small thanks before taking a sip off my drink not even looking at him once.
I closed my phone a few minutes later when I felt Shawn's stars making jokes in my head. I sighed and quickly finished my drink. Throwing into the bin from the table and it went straight in. I smiled.
"Good shot" Shawn spoke and I half-smiled at him
"So... uh how's everything going?" Shawn asked. I sighed before answering
"Everything's good, Shawn" I said and nibbles on my brownie
"Look can I please explain?" He spoke "just let me explain and then you can leave and I'll never disturb you again, ever!" He said urgency in his voice
"O-okay" I said putting my hands on the table. He brought his hands forward almost holding them when I pulled mine back.
"Don't touch me" I said
"Sorry" he spoke
"Explain" I said and he sighed
"Camila it's true it was a dare for me but then-" he started but was cut off by flashes. We looked over the window to see paparazzi's with camera's taking pictures of us.
"Shit! I need to go" I said getting up and pulling on my purse.
"Bye!" I said to Shawn without turning around and walked out of the cafe only to be surrounded by paparazzi's
"Camila are you back with Shawn already?" One asked
"Camila why were you meeting up with Shawn mendes?" Another one asked
"Guys please let me get to my car" I said but no one listened
"Move out of the way!" I heard Shawn's voice and I turned around to see his cheeks all red. The paparazzi immediately moved out of the way but kept snapping photos of us.
"Thanks" I said to Shawn
"No problem" he said and I waved, got into my car, and drove off.
As soon as I was home I quickly changed back into comfy clothes and got into bed with my phone instantly opening my notes app. As soon as I had gotten in the car after the encounter with paparazzi's and the almost hand holding, the lyrics just flooded my brain and I had been itching to get them out. I began typing away at the phone. When I was out of lyrics I realised I had finished the song. It was perfect. I checked the time and it was close to 1 am. My phone beeped. A message from Shawn
Shawn Thanks for coming today. I didn't get to explain but I'm hoping some other day? Anyways I wanted to ask what you're naming that song?
Camila What song?
Shawn The song you were writing on your phone when I was getting the food
Camila You saw that?
Shawn Kinda So..
Camila So?
Shawn What's it called?
Camila I don't know yet..
I lied. I knew what I was gonna name the song. It was clear in my head.
Shawn Oh okay. Listen can we be just friends. I know you hate me and but don't wanna end on bad terms.
Camila Erm... sure I guess
Shawn Great! Goodnight Camila
Camila Goodnight...
I sighed locking my phone. As I drifted off to sleep one thought remained in my head
Why am I torturing myself like this? Becoming his friend...
