Shawn Mendes Imagines

Roses

*A/N - Hey guys! Please listen to the song above when indicated in the story. Happy reading :)*

Your POV

I was currently in my bedroom doing some last minute homework when the doorbell rang. I waited a few seconds to see if anyone was gonna get the door, but then the doorbell rang again.

Ugh I guess I'll have to get it, lazy parents.

Making my way downstairs, I heard the door open and I heard two voices.

"Oh- Hi...um, what are you doing here dear?" my mum asked the person at the door sounding surprised. I crept around the corner and peeked through the window next to the front door only to see Shawn my ex.

What is he doing here?

"Mrs y/l/n (A/N - y/l/n mean your last name and y/n stands for your name, for those of you who don't understand it) I was wondering if I could please talk to y/n, I know she's home, she usually is"

Uh, what's that supposed to mean? I have a life thank you very much, humph

"I don't know Shawn, she doesn't really want to talk to you" my mum sounded hesitant as if she was actually going to say yes. 

I looked at my mum and shook my head no. She kind of looked unsure, like she should.

"Please Mrs y/l/n, I just want to make things right between us. I just want to ask her a question" He pleaded my mother.

"Just one question?" she asked him and he nodded.

I repeatedly and frantically shook my head, almost giving myself whiplash in the process. 

"Alright I'll go get her, but only one question" My mum shut the door and pretended to go get me, even though I was standing right next to her hiding behind the door.

She walked down the hallway and around the corner, I followed her hot on her heels.

"Are you crazy?! Why did you say yes?! You know I don't want to talk to him" My eyes bulged out of my head, I can't believe her!

"Listen honey, I think you should here what his question is, it doesn't mean you have to answer it or say anything just hear what his question is, you never know it might change your mind about the whole situation" she looked at me expectantly.

"Mum, I will not change my mind ok, one question isn't going to change the fact that he was never around when we were together, ok he was never there for me when I needed him the most. Now I know he was away on tour, but seriously mum, I have moved on, I'm with Johnny now and I really like him"

"I know honey, I like Johnny too, but hearing what Shawn has to say...I just want you to listen to what he has to say please? For me? You can't fully move on with Johnny until you are officially over Shawn. That poor boy is trying to make things right with you or at least he wants to be your friend again. Y/n I understand that he'll be away touring all the time because of his music but you have to at least mend things with him and not leave things all rocky between you too"

Ughh, why does she have to be right?

"Fine, but I won't say anything to him" My mum clapped her hands together and pushed me in the direction towards the door. It's almost as if she wants us to get back together.

I walked towards the door and slowly opened it, to reveal Shawn standing at his 6 foot height in dark blue jeans, a black t shirt with a black flannel over the top. I also noticed that he had his guitar with him.

"Um...Hi y/n. Now I know you don't want to see me but, I-I just want to ask you something, but there is a catch" he looked at me nervously, waiting for me to slam the door in his face.

That would be a nice alternative, but no. I promised my mum I would here him out. Raising one eyebrow at him, he took that as a sign to continue speaking.

"That one question I have for you, It's-it's in the form of a song" He fixed his guitar and looked at me with his big brown eyes.

I just nodded my head, telling him to continue.

*Play song*

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 tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
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

It's not that I don't care about the love, if you have
It's not that I don't want to see you smile
But there's no way that he can feel the same
Cause when I think of you, my mind goes wild

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 tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
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?

You can tell me to stop if you already know
Though I'm not sure my heart can take it
But the look on your face says don't let me go

I'm not tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
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 go?

I'm not tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
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?

After he finished singing and playing the guitar, he set it aside and grabbed something out of his back pocket.

A rose.

He then looked up at me, cheeks tinted pink and said "Y/n if I gave you a rose, would you let it die or let it grow?"

My eyes began to water, "Shawn I-"

*********

A/N - Hey guys hope you like this imagine. Now I did the ending like that purposely so that you can imagine the ending however you like. Whether the rose is accepted and grown or whether it will be declined and will die.

Until Next Time. Much Love.
