Shawn Mendes x Reader Imagines

Break up

It had been a week since Shawn and I had split up. Or was it two? I had barely been out the house at all, and had a daily crying session. Some lasted longer than others. The shortest were probably about an hour long.

It was my fault Shawn left. I acted distant for a while and didn't give him enough attention. He must have thought I was cheating on him, although I had never dreamed of. I'd been struggling emotionally, I felt drained and just wanted a break from life, so I distanced myself from everyone, including Shawn.

I sat on the edge of my bed, looking down at my favorite picture of Shawn and myself. I felt a tear slowly trickle down my cheek. I wiped it away angrily. I had to get over this guy. My finger hovered over the delete button before I pressed it, and continued to delete every photo or memory of Shawn and I.

Once I finished on my phone, I moved on to items: hoodies he had lent me (that were never returned), stuffed animals, and even a necklace he had given me for our one year anniversary. It all had to go.

I piled everything in a box and taped it up. Then I went to have a shower and freshen up, before dressing in some brightly coloured clothes, a nice change from grey and black. I applied a light amount of makeup and grabbed my car keys and the box and headed off to my nearest charity center.

Once every reminder of Shawn had been donated or deleted, I decided it was time to get out again, so I called (b/f/n) and we met up at Starbucks. We ordered our drinks and sat down. I felt like a changed lady, I was laughing and having fun again! (B/f/n) was great company, we'd known each other forever and got on exceptionally well. Just then the door opened, and two people walked in. One I had been dreading to see.

Shawn walked in laughing with another girl, a very pretty girl at that. He grabbed her hand and they ordered their drinks. As they looked for a table, Shawn's eyes met mine. As soon as they did, I looked down at my hands wrapped around my drink. (B/f/n) had seen my gaze wander and reached across the table to put her hand on mine. "Do ya wanna go he me now?" She asked quietly. I forced myself to look at her, a fake smile on my lips as I shook my head. I managed to ignore Shawn and enjoy the rest of my day.

Eventually, (b/f/n) and I decided to call it a day and head home, so we split up and I walked to my car. Before I got the chance to unlock it, I heard someone calling me.  "(Y/n)!! Wait up!!" They yelled.

I glanced quickly behind me and noticed Shawn running to me. I pretended to ignore him and speed walked to my car. Unfortunately, he was pretty fast and caught up to me.

"Hey, I just want to talk." He said, a little out of breath. "About what?" I snapped. Hurt flashed across his face. "About us." He mumbled under his breath. I shook my head and looked at the ground. "You already left me, you have a new girlfriend. I'm sorry Shawn, there is no us." I said before turning away, tears brimming in my eyes.

He grabbed my wrist and I looked at him one last time before letting the tears fall down my cheeks and pulling away. When I got in my car, I let myself break down. Shawn was the perfect man, but he was no longer my perfect man.
