Chapter fourteen

P.O.V   EMILY

My alarm goes off. It's monday morning. Time to go back to school. Shawn left yesterday, and I haven't done anything but crying and eating ice cream. A typical thing to do when you're feeling down and out.

I pack my stuff in my bag and leave my room for today. I'll get back in it this afternoon, when school is finished. I see a text from Shawn. I can't deal with it right now, I'll react later.

My breakfast is a simple bowl with cereal. I'm not feeling very hungry, not at all actually. I grab a bottle of water and an apple. Enough for today. I walk to my bike and go to school.

Everyone looks at me, talks about me. Because I'm in the news everywhere. Literally, everywhere. I'm Emily Martens, better known as Shawn Mendes' girlfriend. I see Kyra standing before my locker. "Hey," I say as I walk towards her. "Hey Em!" she says, moving a bit to the side. "Everyone is talking about you, did you know?" she asks. She looks very happy. "Yeah, I heard it. I'm okay with it." "What's up? You seem to be very sad." Kyra looks at me and takes my hand. "I miss Shawn already." I say, trying to fight my tears. "It'll be alright, Em. Come, we have maths now," Kyra says. She takes my hand and we walk to math together.

I sit down in my seat and take my books out. Kyra sits in front of me, next to Brandon. Jasper sits down next to me. I see Lily waking into the classroom. I hate her, with my whole heart. She is walking towards me, and I know what is going to happen. "Hey! Emily! How are you?" she asks. I roll with my eyes. "I'm good, thanks." I look at my notebook in front of me. Last friday I drew a lot of weird things on it, because I couldn't concentrate on the lesson. Little did I know that all of this happened last weekend.

"So, you are Shawn Mendes his girlfriend?" Lily asks when she sits down in her seat behind me. I turn around. "Yes, so what?" "Nothing! I mean, it's amazing. But why would he date someone like you?" I give her an angry look. "Just saying," she says with a filthy smile. I turn around again and focus myself on the lesson. But my mind goes to Shawn. I wish I could be with him right now.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I take it out and see a message from Shawn!

Shawnie❤️: Hey Em! How are you? I really miss you. Can we call later today?

U: Hey Shawn!! I'm good, hbu? I miss you too. Wish I could be with you right now. And I would love to call later today! Love you xx❤️

I put my phone away. Kyra turns around and shows me her phone. It's a message from Nash. "He wants to take you on a date?" I ask. "Yeah!! Omg this is amazing," she replys. The smile on her face has never been this big. "Is he still in the Netherlands?" I ask. "No, after tour he wants to meet me." I think about when I'm going to meet Shawn again. It'll take so long. Still several months to go. I wish the time would pass faster. 

P.O.V   SHAWN

I sit in my hotel room, alone. My guitar next to me on the bed and my notebook in front of me. I stare out the window. People are rushing to get to work on time. I think about Emily. She's rushing to get to school on time. I should go and visit her today, I say to myself. I get up and grab my phone from the night stand. "Andrew?"  I say as he picks up the phone. "Yes buddy?" "Can I visit Emily today?" "You have a day off, but what about the new music?" "I can't focus, Andrew. I miss her to much." "I'll pick you up in a minute." He hangs up. I chuckle. She doesn't know yet, but I'll see her in an hour.
