                                                            SHAWN'S POV

Y/N has been my best friend since kindergarten. We met when the teachers made us partners for a project. She has been my best friend ever since. I started having feelings for her since the end of 8th Grade. Now, we only had 2 months til we both will be seniors in high school. Tonight, we are going to go see fireworks at our school. I plan on asking her out then. I pick up the phone and text Y/N to see when she wants me to pick her up. 

S: Hey! What time do you want me to pick you up?

Y: Let's see..

Y: The fireworks start at 9, so...

Y: Pick me up around 8:30

S: Ok

I grab my guitar and start playing some tunes. I wanted to add a few more songs to my album. All the songs the love songs I wrote are about Y/N. I write down a few lyrics.

"It's not that I'm afraid I'm not enough for her. It's not that I can't find the words to say"

I crumble up the paper and throw it to the trash can, but I miss. I keep on writing lyrics and playing a few cords. Before I knew it, it was 8PM. I needed to look decent since I was asking her out. I put a shirt on that has the USA flag on it and some black shorts. I got into my Jeep and started the car. I turn up the radio and Stitches was playing. I smile. I love hearing my songs on my radio. I drive to Y/N's house. She doesn't live that far away from me. It only takes me 6 minutes to get there. Y/N was already standing outside waiting for me. 

"Hey Shawn!" She says while putting her tote bags in the back seat. 

"Hey Y/N! Excited for tonight?"

"Yeah!" She said while putting her seat belt on. Butterflies enter my stomach. I always get so nervous around her. 

"Well? Let's go!"  She smiles.

We drive to our school in silence. Only the radio was making noise. Mercy came on. 

"Hey! It's your song"  She playfully punches me.

"Yeah!" I smiled.

We both sang along with the lyrics. Her voice was like an angel 

"You've got a hold of me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around you

Show me an open door

Then you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heartI'd drive through the night
Just to be near you, baby
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy 

I'm not asking for a lot

Just that you're honest with me
My pride is all I got
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice

Please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy

Begging you, begging you, please, baby
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Ooh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you"

By the time the song was over, we had arrived at the school. She placed a beach towel on the grass in the field, and we both sat down. It was time. I had to ask her. 

"Hey..um...Y/N" 

"Yeah?" 

"I have something to tell you"

" What?" 

"We have both known each other since kindergarten. We have been through basically our whole lives together. When I starting becoming famous, i lost many friends, and i gained a lot too, but most of them just wanted to be friends with because of my fame and money. But, you didn't. Even if I wasn't famous, you would still be with me. Y/N, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole world. I love your personality, I love your everything. I love you Y/N. Will you be my girlfriend?" 

"Of course Shawn"

Just as the fireworks started, she kissed me passionately. 

I'm not gonna lie but, this was the best Fourth Of July ever!
