Chances.

Chapter Twenty

Shawn POV 

"Jackie, can I ask you a question?" It was serious time. We played around so much that I never knew what was going on. She gave me a worried look and I sat next to her on the edge of the pool. "Do you love me?" I asked cautiously, taking my towel to my hair. She lightened up a little "Really Shawn? You kno-" "No. I don't mean like 'I love you I guess.' I mean.. I don't know how to describe it.." I trailed off. I felt really dumb confronting her and not even being able to explain myself. "You mean like I admire every small thing you do? Like would I give up everyting for you? Would I say I love you ten years from now? Do I notice the cutest, smallest thing about you? Yes. I do." She stared into my eyes until I pulled a half smile. "So can we be official?" I asked her. "Of course love." She said, pecking my lips. I looked at my phone. It was 3 am. I stood up and held out my hand. "Thank you." She smiled. I put my arm around her shoulder and we went to the basement closet. I wore American apparel boxers and she had another huge sweater. We went up to the room and talked for 2 hours. These were the best times I had with her. We'd lie there all tangled up just talking. She'd tell my tiny secrets and I'd tell her mine. Then we just fell asleep, locking all of those little secrets in our heads.

Jackie POV 

I woke up and Shawn was staring at my eyelids. "Creeper." I giggled and attempted to hit him with a pillow. "Well good morning to you, too, babe." I laughed and pinched his cheek between my fingers "You're a cutie." He wiggled away from the pinch and rubbed his face. I rolled out of bed and threw my hair into a messy bun. "I don't know about you, but I'm gonna go socialize!" I looked over at Shawn. He grunted and rolled off the bed, falling onto the floor. I busted out laughing. He got up and put some sweatpants on before grabbing my hand and walking downstairs. "You okay?" I asked him "I'm fine, it just scared me." I rubbed his arm. "I gotchu bb." He laughed and kissed my forehead before we got into the kitchen and sat down. "I made foooood." Matt yelled before he set down a plate stacked with pancakes in the middle of the table. "Okay, if we're being honest, that's carry-out." Everybody laughed and lunged for the stack. I grabbed 2, but Shawn took 5. I looked over at his plate and acted astounded. "I'm a growing boy!" He sat up tall. Awweeee. After breakfast I decided that it would be nice to go to the mall with Shawn. I pulled on one of his flannels and a baggy black t-shirt with denim shorts and combat boots. I wore black cateye sunglasses and Shawn was practically matching with his flannel and jeans. We pulled up and the moment we walked in, girls were screaming. Shawn pulled me into him and every. single. one's stare shifted to me. "Is that Jackie?" One of the girls asked. "Hi." I smiled. "Why'd you and Hayes split up!?" "I don't really.." Shawn cut me off. "I'm sorry girls, do you want me to sign anything? We were kind of planning on shopping.." A girl walked up to me and I got scared "Please be careful with him. Treat him right. Be gentle. He's my sunshine. I'm fine with you having him. Just, please, treat him right." "I promise you, I will treat him like the cute little toddler he is. What's your twitter? You seem cool." She smiled and named it off to me as I entered it into my phone. "Followed." I smiled. "Oh my gosh thank you!" She yelled before running away. I guess Shawn had finished autographs and heard that conversation and grabbed my phone. The girl was still fairly near and he yelled "Hey Tara! Followed!" She screamed loud enough to turn every head in the food court. Shawn grabbed my hand and we continued shopping. I'm pretty sure we bought something form every store there. This was how I liked it. I liked spending time with Shawn. Damn, I loved spending time with him. "Ooh yeah, did I tell you the big news?" Shawn stopped and I looked over at him in half fear half excitement. "Well, the boys and I are going on tour again!" The same half and half feeling stayed and my heart dropped. I was excited because they got to do what they love. I was scared because that means I wouldn't see Shawn that much. "You're invited." He finished. I snapped my attention to him. "I am!?" "Yeah, everyone one is. Including you, Calli and Megan." I grabbed Shawn's face and kissed him right there, in the middle of the mall, fan girls came and took vines, pictures, everything. I got of my tippy toes after the kiss and hugged him as tight as I could. "I love you Shawn." "I love you Shawn Mendes." "I love you too, princess."

----------------------------

On the car ride home the pictures of the kiss and hug were everywhere. Surprisingly, most things were great! "I wish I had a relationship like this.." "I didn't like her too much, but now this just ajkdfl otp." "Crying rn because I saw this in the mall today and it's adorable." I followed a fair amount of people and replied to some. I made he picture my avi and changed my bio to Shawn's name. We pulled up to the driveway and grabbed the abundance of bags out of the backseat before carrying them up to the small closet in Shawn and I's room. When we got done I showed Shawn some of the cute comments people were making and he smiled before opening his twitter. My phone soon beeped with a mention. "I'm glad that majority of you are taking me and (my twitter @ ) well. Always remember I'm still here for you guys, and she is too. #stayposotive." I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "You are perfect, Shawn Mendes." He blushed and scratched the back of his neck.
