I finish packing different pictures in a box and shut it, my room is now all boxes besides Leo's stuff. I carry a box downstairs and set it on top of 2 other boxes, there's a quick knock on the door and I open it. There standing in front of me is Izzy wearing joggers and a hoodie, out of breath. "Did you see it?"

"See what?" I pull her into our dads house and shut the door.

"Watch" She holds her phone up to me and plays a video, it's Shawn on the tonight show.

"And now performing When I Was Your Man from his 4th album Wanderlust, Shawn Mendes!" Jimmy says, the crowd claps and the camera pans to Shawn. He sitting at a grand piano wearing a white button up and dark blue dress pants. Scattered around on top of the piano are pink Deliahs. My favorite flower I told Shawn about when we first started dating. Theres a leather bound journal that looks exactly like the one I got him for Christmas 2 years ago, also on top of the Piano is a candle that's lit.

"Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man"  At the end of the song it zooms in on Shawn's face as the crowd claps, he puts his head down and you can tell he's crying because his shoulders are shaking.

"Why are you crying?" Izzy asks me, I wipe my eyes and then look at her.

"Because I still love him" I sit down on the couch and start crying again.

"I know and he does to" She sits next to me and clicks play on another video.

"So you just performed for us and at the end you started crying what was that about" Jimmy asks Shawn.

"Yea uh" Shawn clears his throat, "that song I wrote about a recent ex and I'm still in love with her and we've hung out a couple times. But she has a boyfriend who she really likes."

"You wrote that about Rylie correct?"

"Umm yea"

"Are you comfortable talking about what happened?"
