Exposed//Shawn Mendes

34

I ran into the room and quickly shut the door behind me. I looked around to see Shawn's phone on the desk out in the open, just asking to be taken. I walked up to the desk and grabbed the phone. I held down the home button only for a lock screen to pop up requesting a pin.

"Fuck!" I hissed under my breath. I look around his office for any clues
"What is it?!" I asked myself as I started looking through a messy pile of papers.
"He's had to have written it down right? Birthdays, card pins, anniversaries?" I wondered as I looked at the screen in front of me. I started with his birthday but it was wrong, then his credit card pin, wrong, the day his first single was released, wrong, his first album released, wrong.

I spent about 30 minutes trying what I could, getting locked out, the phone shutting down on me once. But once it was back on I tried something else. My birthday.

"This is stupid, this is dumb, this won't work, this-" I was talking to myself as I entered the pin but cut myself short when I saw it actually didn't work. I had 1 last try for the 4 digit pin... what if it was the day he cut me off completely? I will always remember that day as if it just happened, the pain and sadness I felt.

I entered the month and date and was met with the screen unlocking. I felt my heart stop for a second. Does he truly hate me that much? He always wants to remember the moment he's just removed me from his life.

I scoffed as I shook my head and went to his gallery. I opened his camera roll and saw the pictures he took of me there were even a few that I didn't even know he took. I tapped on one picture of myself to see it was from the dinner we went to on our first "date." I just furrowed my brows as I looked at it. He caught it in the moment that I was looking away and laughing at one of his stories from his Handwritten tour. I swiped to the next picture to see it was another one I wasn't aware he took. This one was from the Met Gala. I was in the fancy designer dress and I was smiling like an idiot as I was looking down at my dress. These are in no way incriminating against me? Why would he have these?

I just shook it off as I selected all of them and hit delete. I even made sure to go to his trash bin and cloud storage to make sure I deleted them from there too. As soon as the notice pops up that they're all gone I turn off the phone the way I found it and head for the door still holding it in my hand. As I was walking towards the door, it swung open to reveal Shawn looking livid. I said nothing as I continued walking until I was in front of him. I slammed his phone into his chest as hard as I could but he was unphased.

"I'm done. I quit." I said holding his phone there. I probably looked just as mad as he did.
"Excuse me?! You think you can just steal my shit, trot around my home, come to my private office and-"
"I SAID, I AM DONE! YOU VIOLATED OUR CONTRACT AND I QUIT!" I screamed, cutting him off and letting go of his phone, letting it just fall to the floor since he didn't want to grab it. I just pushed past him and started walking out of the room.

I didn't get far before I felt his hand on my wrist roughly pulling my back. I gasped as I hit his chest. I was back in the room with him holding me close. He slammed the door shut and locked it. I was ready to move for the door again but Shawn moved his hand from my wrist to my bicep, soon I felt his other hand grab my other arm before he spun me around to face him. He pushed me up against the door and pressed his own body against mine locking me in. I groaned and struggled to get out of his grip.

"I'm not afraid of you, Shawn! I never will be! You disgust me, you're a horrible person, I don't know why you abandoned me all those years ago but now I'm glad you did! If I had known sooner that you'd be this horrible I would never have talked to you in the first place!" I yelled, still wiggling to be free.

"I abandoned you?! That's fucking rich! You left me behind! God, you think you're the victim?! You're out of your fucking mind!" He scoffed.
"I'm so sorry I was forced out of our school! And I'm so sorry I went to your house every day after that looking for you but you were literally nowhere to be seen! So yeah, you were the abandoned one!" I yelled pushing my hand on his chest to try to get him away.
