Hi everyone! Wow its been a while, life has been kicking me in the butt. I had a lot of self reflection to do but I realized I just totally left this book when I didn't mean to. Thank you to everyone who has been reading and keeping up with this book! Without further adoooo here is a short update that I did in like 15 minutes lol. P.S. I'm obsessed with James TW's new song *insert heart eyes*

Isabella's POV

He's lying, I know he is. There is absolutely no way he's famous. The news anchor mentioning girls wanting him to be single or whatever so he must be attractive and someone who is nice, famous, and attractive would never ever find me interesting. For some reason I just feel myself get angry. I don't know what game he's playing or who he's trying to convince but I will not be lied to and taken advantage.

"I can't believe I trusted you! You can't take me for granted just because I can't see you. You didn't think i'd believe you did you? YOU'RE the Shawn Mendes? The international heartthrob celebrity? God I can't believe I was just starting to make a friend and something like this happens. Just get out please." I start to ramble feeling angry and sad. Everything was going fine, I finally had someone I can talk to and be myself and all of that is over now.

"No, no, no Isabella um it was a joke I was totally joking! Some people compare us because of our name and we kind of sound similar. I'm so sorry." he says in a rushed panic voice.

"Oh, no i'm sorry I should have taken that as a joke I just don't like being lied to. I just always get self conscious especially when you're my only friend." I say feeling super embarrassed.

"It's okay, you are amazing and I am glad to have someone like you in my life." he says pulling me in for a hug.

"As corny as this might sound but I just don't want to lose you. Even though we met not that long ago I really feel like I can trust you with anything and as long as I have you I don't need anyone else. I'm sorry again for freaking out on you." I say quietly with a smile. He pulls away slightly from the hug and grabs my chin making me look up at him. I feel him lean his forehead on mine.

"I feel like same way bella, trust me." He whispers and I can feel his breath on my lips. The only noise is us breathing until the doorbell rings.

"Oh, um that must be the pizza. I got it." Shawn says pulling away slowly and walking towards the door. What just happened? Do friends do that? I honestly don't know what friends do and don't know but from the books i've read that only happens in relationships. I sigh and walk to the kitchen where I hear shawn put down the pizza box. He hands me a plate in front of me and I grab a slice and take a bite.

"This is really good, thank you Shawn." I say and take another bite.

"No problem. Hey quick question. Why do you think Shawn Mendes could not want to be your friend?" He says while taking a seat on a stool.

"Many reasons. He has better things to do other than spending time with me unless it was charity work. Besides im lame and he probably has so many cool celebrity friends with much more interesting lives than me." I sigh and continue to eat my pizza.

"Why do you think so lowly of yourself? You are so amazing and easy to talk to and not to mention you are absolutely beautiful." he says and I can just feel his eyes piercing through me. I sigh and look down and continue eating. He sighs and I hear him opening the pizza box grabbing another slice. We continue to eat in silence with me in my thoughts.
