Shawn Mendes *POV*

     After an awkward moment of silence while sitting in my car, Katie opened her mouth to speak. I spoke before she had the chance to say what was on her mind. "I know you're upset. And I don't blame you."

     She eyed me, preparing to argue, but she sighed. "I have no right to be upset with you, but yes, I am."

     "I shouldn't have secluded myself for so long. I just, seeing you with him..., you looked content. I didn't want to take that away."

      I avoided her gaze nervously. To no avail. Her fingers grazed my cheek, and she forcingly directed my gaze towards her. "I shouldn't be holding a grudge towards you, if anyone, you should be the one to hold a grudge against me, yet all you asked for was time. Thank you for hearing me out that night.

     "As for that afternoon, the kiss was initiated by Cameron, and it was unexpected. I love you, and that will forever remain the same," she quoted, smirking.

     I granted her a smile in return. Reaching into the backseat of the car, I grasped my guitar. "If you don't mind, I'd like to play you something."

     "Alright, blow me away."

     I plucked the first chords, becoming lost to the world of music that swirled within me. No one else existed, my surroundings faded away, and I began to drown in a sea of endless rthymn.

It's not that I'm afraid I'm not enough for her
It's not that I can't find the words to say
But when she's with him, she seems happier
And I don't want to take that away


How many times can I see your face?

How many times will you walk away?
I just have to let you know

I'm not try'na start a fire, with this flame

But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same

     I sang from my heart, releasing the whirlwind of emotion from within me. I briefly noticed Katie closing her eyes and blushing, embarrassed.

And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?
Die or let it go?

     At this, I stopped strumming  and paused to hand Katie a rose, red for the passion behind our love.
