Camila leaning, she moved her body posture making noise. Shawn heard a sound. He stops, and glances behind him.

" Why are you here again?" Shawn asked Camila.

" I feel insulted. And by the way, I came because you have the voice of an angel, and the most beautiful written songs ever. Where did you get those ideas from? Oh, my name is Camila by the way," Camila stating.

" Shawn. And what do you mean ideas? I thought everyone was known to love, whether it's heartbreak, emotions towards someone you know you won't be able to have," Shawn replied.

" Your not going to leave me again are you?"

" I was nervous."

" Why?"

" Because I only sing for fun, not in front of people except friends," Shawn added.

" You probably blessed your friends ears with your talent!" exclaimed Camila.

Camila sits by Shawn, and looks at his guitar. His little brown notebook, with a page being opened, Shawn realized Camila was looking at his book and he immediately closes it.

" Why do you do that? Why do you shut off all your talent? Like pretend that you don't have any?"

" It's just a hobby, nothing more."

" My honest opinion, you could honestly be a professional singer and song writer!" Camila suggests.

Shawn stares are Camila.

" You really think so?"

" Heck yes!" Camila exclaimed.

" Enough about me, can you sing? Here I'll play all of me by John Legend on my guitar and I can sing with you?" Shawn suggested.

" I can't sing!" Laughing Camila.

" Not if you don't try. Come on! Please! For me?" Shawn with puppy dog eyes.

" Fine," Shawn starts playing the tune to All of Me and Shawn starts to sing. The second line, Camila joins in. Singing together for 3 lines, Shawn listens to Camila's voice.

" So you can also sing like a angel!" Shawn shouting at Camila laughing. Camila then laughs and says,

" Seriously?"

" Hey, we should catch up and sing a song together?" Shawn offering Camila a chance to hang, which she accepts. Getting late, Camila does the unexpected.

" Here, take this," Camila slipping her phone number into his front pocket, Shawn smiling. " Text or call me anytime," Camila walking away.

Shawn gathers his notebook and pulls it up to his chest. " She loves my writing, and she touched it,"

Grabbing his guitar, he puts it back into his case, locking all 3 locks, he picks it up by the handle, and makes his way home.

When Shawn got home, he added Camila's number and just did that. He stared at his phone ready to text her, but he froze up with the text reading,

Hey! It's Shawn. Just checking to see if I got the right number, if so text me back and we can make plans.

Blankly staring at his phone for 10 minutes he hits send. A fast reply.

Hey! We can hang at my place and write a song together at 6:00 p.m, I'll send you my address for tomorrow then.

Camila knew sending that message was risky but she did it. She sent her address and then put her phone in charge, and tuned off her night light, on her bedside table. Hugging a long pillow, she stayed up for an hour before she fell asleep.

Shawn stared at the message and then turned off his lamp. Putting his phone on charge, he stared at his guitar, and he looked one last time at his song called " Roses " and headed off to sleep, hugging his notebook.
