The Man Nextdoor (Shawn Mendes x Nick Jonas)

Chapter 29

Hailey walked over to Shawn and stared him dead in the face. She had obviously been crying before as her face was red and slightly puffy.

"I know Nicks not the best person in the world and I had feelings he wasn't being faithful to me... but to find out you were fucking him? This whole time? While we had talks about our issues and how I helped you? You fucked my man while I was a shoulder for you to cry on" Hailey said staring blankly at Shawn

"What the fuck man. You can have him like fuck this shit" she said getting ready to turn away but Shawn stopped.

"Hailey please let me explain"

"You better not make up some bullshit Mendes" Hailey said getting angry

"No no... its all true and I'm sorry. I had never found someone I generally cared about in my life until I meet Nick. I've been in the closet for most of my life so I never really dated anyone or meet anyone. Hailey I'm so sorry for what I did and how shitty it was but please understand this. I never went out my way to hurt you or anything. I fell for a man that was off limits and I hated myself for it but I just couldn't help it. Each day he was on my mind, each night he was on my mind. He is all I think about Hailey and I know its a shitty thing cause I'm basically being a home wrecker but... but I love him Hailey." Shawn started to cry and Hailey had calmed right down

"I'm so sorry I caused so much pain for you Hailey" Shawn said sobbing and Camila grabbed his shoulder.

"I don't mean to leave you in a moment of crisis Shawn but this is a discussion you and Hailey need to have without bi standers so I'll catch up with you later okay" Camila said smiling and hopping in her car, driving away.

"Shawn... I'm angry and I'm allowed to be, lets get that clear" Hailey said taking a deep breath.

"You're lucky he's not my whole world cause there is no way I would have given up this easily" Hailey said with a slight smile.

"What do you mean?" Shawn said looking up at Hailey.

"I see it Shawn. I see the love you have for him, I see the love he has for you. I see it all and I know that I feel like shit right now but in the long run? I would like to be involved some way because at the end of the day, you are my friend and Nick is my friend." Hailey said walking over to Shawn and hugging him.

"I'm so sorry Hailey"

"Don't be. I got my anger out. I think its time you and Nick had a big talk. I'm leaving town for a while and will probably be moving away so there is a space in the house if you need it but in the mean time, I basically still live here so don't mess it up" Hailey said walking over to her car.

"Hailey... are you sure you're okay?" Shawn said softly

"Me and Nick have been dying out for the past couple of weeks. I was thinking of other men and obviously he was as well" she says laughing.

"I'm only hurt because he acted on those thoughts but I'm not that hurt that the relationship is over. Any who, imma go and you go have a talk with Nick." Hailey said hopping in the car and driving off with a wave. Shawn waved back and decided to walk into Nicks house because the front door was open.

"Nick?" Shawn called out.

"I'm in here" Nick responded from the kitchen and Shawn followed his voice. He saw Nick sitting at a bar stool with a small glass of whisky.

"What happened?" Shawn asked knowing some of the details.

"I told her everything. I told her I didnt have feelings for her anymore and that I found someone else and eventually your name just slipped out." Nick said with his head down.

"Well I just talked to Hailey, she was really angry but she seems fine now."

"Yeah... I didn't realise how far me and her had drifted. Fighting for something that was dead." Nick said standing up and putting his cup on the bench.

"So what now?" Shawn said softly.

"Well we take this one step at a time." Nick said walking over to Shawn and smiling softly.

"I'm still mad at you" Shawn said with a slight pout.

"Why's that" Nick said grinning knowing full well.

"Guhhhh why is it so hard to stay mad at you." Shawn said and Nick giggled.

"You know... My bed has become very empty now that I am a single man."

"Single? What about me?" Shawn replied.

"Oh yeah forgot about you" Nick said swopping Shawn of his feet and holding him.

"I would really like it if you came and stayed with me, just for a few days and see what its like living with a partner."

" I would love that" Shawn said gently rubbing the scruff on Nicks chin.
