Help me

Chapter Eight

Shawn's POV
I was waiting for third period to end. I told my teacher that I might need to leave during class. I wasn't focusing at all. Suddenly, my phone began ringing. I quickly packed up my stuff and left the room.

"Hey muffins. What's up?" I said, trying to be calm.

"Shawn, I-i need you pick me up." She sobbed. Everything dropped. Yes, I've heard her cry before a couple times, but never have I ever heard her sob.

"Where the hell are you?" I demanded.

"I-I'm at the jail."

"Okay, I'm on my way. Stay on the line with me, okay?"

"Yeah-Okay."

"What happened?"

"I-he- Shawn I cant do this anymore."

"What the hell happened, Katy?"

"I just-I was- I cant-" I never heard her stutter and sob. I swear to god, if Aiden ever gets out of jail, I'm going to fucking kill him.

"Dammit Katy, I'm hurrying as fast as I can." I was running to my car. When I got in, I pulled out of the parking lot and raced to the station. "Katy, baby, you've gotta tell me where you're at." I stopped, realizing I just called her "baby".

"I- I'm on the side of the building."

"Okay. I'll be there in just a second."

When I got to the jail, I drove around slowly looking for her. When I saw her, I quickly parked and got out of the car, running to her. She put her phone in her back pocket and walked towards me. I wrapped my arms tightly around her as she sobbed, collapsing into me. I slowly came to the ground, holding her as she sobbed, rocking her from side to side, softly trying to calm her down. When she had calmed down enough to the point she was done crying, just hiccuping, I dug my arm under her leg and picked her up. She wrapped her arms around my neck as I walked to my car. I opened the door and put her in the car, shutting the door after her.

We drove silently, going to my house. I pulled into the garage about an hour later. I went around to her side and picked her back up. I walked up to the door and opened it. Since my parents worked from home sometimes, they left the door unlocked. I walked upstairs and to my room. I laid her on the bed, laying beside her. She cuddled into me and I held her in my arms. We laid there for a while. Soon, her breathing was slow and deep. I looked at her to see that she was asleep. I smiled and brushed the hair away from her face. She looked so peaceful and perfect. I laid my chin on top of her head.

I'm finally able to hold her in my arms. I've waited so long to do this. Even though we're in a fake relationship, it was probably going to be the closest I was going to get with her. But I'm happy that I have some sort of relationship with her.

I woke up to my room dark. Katy was still asleep and we were in the same position, the only thing was, was that a blanket was placed over us and our legs were tangled together. I carefully got up and untangled my legs from hers and sat up, grabbing my phone and checking on a few things. It was 5:29. I didn't realize that we slept for so long. It was nice though. I took my phone and left the room as quietly as I could. There was a light chatter coming from downstairs. I walked down the stairs, trying to listen to whoever was speaking.

"I know, right? They are just so cute together, like oh my god!"

"They should just get over themselves and date. It's clear Shawn likes her, and I think Katy's realizing that she likes him too."

"Did you know they're fake dating right now?"

"Why?"

"Lots of girls are trying to get Shawn to go out with them, and Katy's trying to get things settled down between her and Aiden."

"What even happened today?"

"I don't even know. But Shawn was here a while before I got home from school."

"I didn't even hear him come in." I walked down the rest of the stairs. Mom and Aaliyah we're making dinner.

"Hi Shawn. How's Katy?" Aaliyah asked.

"She's still asleep."

"Oh, sweetie, we got a call from someone who wants to talk to you about some big performance thing."

"Uh, Okay. Which phone?"

"The home phone. They left a message." I went over to the phone and listened to the message.

"Hello, this is Magcon and I'm calling in regards to invite Shawn Mendes to come join us in Dallas, Texas on March 20 through the April 7. Please call me back as soon as you have an answer or if you have any questions."

"So, are you going to do it?"

"I don't even know why I would be going."

"Well, you can call them, can't you?"

"Yeah. I'm going to do that while you guys finish making dinner." I took the phone and went outside, the cold breeze blowing gently. I called them back.

"Hello? This is Brent."

"Hi, this is Shawn Mendes, you called me to invite me to-"

"Magcon, yes. Do you have an answer?"

"Actually, I have a question."

"Go for it."

"What is Magcon? Like, why did you invite me?"

"We found you on vine and we thought that your voice was amazing, so we invited you. Magcon is just a concert where fans come and you sing for them."

"Oh, uh okay."

"So what do you say?"

"Um, i have to think about it, if you don't mind."

"Not at all, Shawn! Please, take as much time as you want, we'll be waiting for your call."

"Okay. Thanks." I hung up and walked inside. Katy was just walking down the stairs. "Morning."

"Is it really?"

"No, you woke up in time for dinner, muffins."

"Oh, okay. What's for dinner?"

"I don't even know."

We walked into the kitchen as Aaliyah was setting the table.
