*Reader's POV*

"Shawn! You need to tell them!" I yelled at Shawn, my boyfriend of 6 months.

"No I don't, it doesn't matter!" Shawn threw his hands up in the air in frustration.

"Oh so you're saying that I don't matter? That telling your fans the truth about us doesn't matter?" My vision began to blur as Shawn raked his hands through his hair frantically. 

"That's not what I meant, you know that isn't what I meant. I just don't want them to stop listening to my music because of...you know" Shawn sat down on the couch and put his face in his hands. 

"Because of what? Us?" I stood there shocked, I took a step towards Shawn, causing him to get up off the couch and take a step away from me. His small action sent a shooting pain through my heart. My eyes began to blur as Shawn pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and pointer finger.

"I..." He stopped what he was saying and just stared at the ceiling. 

"Shawn...you have to choose. Either me...or your career. I know it's selfish of me to make you choose, I don't want to be an option...I want to be a priority" I said, mustering up all my strength to not cry right in front of him. I lifted my chin and stared at him waiting for his response. Shawn opened his mouth and was about to speak but we were interrupted.

"Shawn they're ready for you" The stage hand said as he opened and then closed the door to Shawn's dressing room. 

Shawn walked towards me, slowly, but then brushed his shoulder against mine and walked straight out that door. My heart clenched in my chest, then shattered into a million pieces.

Well, I guess I have my answer...

*Shawn's POV*

"How's everyone doing tonight?!" I spoke into the microphone enthusiastically, the whole stadium erupted into screams and cheers. 

I looked to the side stage, and I knew what I did was wrong. I shouldn't be selfish like this.

"Hey guys, so before I start the concert I just want to say a few things" The whole stadium quietened down, eager to hear what I had to say.

*Reader's POV*

I stood in the side stage as Shawn greeted the stadium, he looked at me with regret. 

"Hey guys, so before I start the concert I just want to say a few things" the whole stadium became silent, waiting for what came next. 

"So...I haven't been completely honest with you guys, and as my fans you all have the right to know the truth. I'm in love." Shawn did his goofy smile, as his face flushed red when the whole stadium erupt into screams. Some fans even started crying. 

"There is this person in my life, who has always stuck by me. I guess I took them for granted and lost sight of what was important to me. Babe, you are my PRIORITY, you're not an option, and I love you with all my heart. I don't know what I would do without you...this song is for you"

I stood there frozen to my spot, my heart racing in my chest. 

Is this really happening?

*Start music*

"I can't write one song that's not about you

Can't drink without thinkin' about you
