shawn when ! he and his new lover listen to a heartfelt speech you make after your breakup.
the crowd erupted in cheers as your friends and familiar artists engulfed you in hugs. you slowly made your way to the stage to accept your award for best breakthrough artist, a category in which you and your ex-boyfriend, shawn, were both nominated for.
you stared at the award, grateful that you did decide to come tonight, instead of staying at home, like you had originally planned. when you realised that you had to make a speech, you gulped.
you can do this, y/n.
"uh, i don't know what to say," a toothy grin fell upon your face, hiding the pain in your heart. "i want to thank all my fans, family and friends for all you've done for me, without you none of this would have been possible. i, uh..." you were on the verge of tears, not sure what to do.
you looked over to shawn, who sat across the room beside his new lover. you remember the first time you won an award, you were speechless and you remember shawn, who gave you a thumbs up and a smile of encouragement. this time, he just looked away.
the quiet crowd taunted you as you realised you had to say something else. "i assume you've all heard of everything going on. i guess it's been everywhere, my private life displayed on a platter for everyone to see. i keep telling myself that it's going to be okay, but i know it's not. you might be wondering why i'm addressing right now, but i feel the need to because of how bad the media has twisted the story."
a tear fell from your face as you kept your eyes on shawn, who didn't dare to look at you afraid of what might happen if he did. "he did nothing, but treat me right. he was an absolute gentlemen, the sweetest boy i had ever met. but i was the problem, he's so incredibly amazing and without him, i was just a nobody. i was afraid that i was gonna ruin it, that i was going to ruin everything and the most annoying thing is... that breaking it off, was the worst decision i ever made."
by now tears were streaming down your face and everyone in the audience, especially shawn, had a tear rolling down their cheeks.gif
"it makes me wonder if i'm the right person to be standing up here receiving this award, because of the poor decisions i have made. so... uh, i hope you all have a great night." you walked off the stage and a loud eruption of claps was heard, people admiring your bravery to speak up, some with no idea whether to clap or to cry.
tears fell from your face, smearing your mascara as you placed the award at your friends' table and ran out of the venue.
shawn looked around. then without hesitation, got up and ran after you.
