Late night undate😏. Okay? Okay.

Soon the kiss had to come to an end, which I never wanted it to.

"Ohhh uhhm. I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have done that." Shawn says clearly embarrassed.

"Oh." I said with sadness. "Do you regret it?"

"Yeah. A little." He says with a quiet voice, and his head down low, looking at his hands that were placed on his knees. I felt my eyes start to sting and my vision start to get blurry. I had to get out before a waterfall starts coming out of my eyes.

"I-uh have to go." I say as my voice slightly cracks. As I'm walking away, Shawn calls my name. I don't answer. I'm not gonna let him see me like this. I hear him start to come closer, so I run. As fast and as hard as my long legs could take me. I soon realize that I'm near the stage. I remember my manager told me, before I came here, that I didn't need to bring my guitar or anything because they have a music room in the back. I quietly go behind stage and look through the all doors, and I finally find it. I pick up a black acoustic and pull up a chair to sit on. Music was my go-to hobby when I was younger, it still is today. My dad died in the army when I was 9, and my mom was always always drinking the pain away. Soon the drinking took her life. She was driving drunk and went out of control and hit a tree. I was 15 by then and my life changed forever. Even though it was only 2 years ago, it feels like an eternity. I've had no one in my life's since then, and that's why I've stuck to music so much, and that's why I'm here today.

I start playing the songs to Summertime Sadness and this song reminds me so much of Shawn. It was one of my favorite covers he did. SHUT UP Y/N!!! STOP!! HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU!!! STOP THINKING ABOUT SHAWN!!! The heartbreak was too much to bare, which meant the tears were coming. And they were coming fast.

I soon find myself sliding down a wall with tears streaming down my face. I hear the door open but I couldn't make out who it was. I felt them pick me up bridal style and put me on a couch. I didn't care who saw me like this right now. I just hope it's not Shawn.

I wake on a red couch, in what looks like a dressing room. I go over to the mirror and look at my face, which has dried tears and I don't even want to describe how my makeup looks like. My hair doesn't look so good either, considering I just slept on it. OH MY GOD. I just slept. The performance....I can't miss it. I quickly readjust my makeup that was provided on the desk. And whoever put this here, I love them for life. I fix my hair and comb it out with my fingers, which made it into loose waves. Which actually looked pretty nice. I seriously did all that in a matter of 2 minutes. That's pretty impressive for my usual time. I run out of the door onto the side part of the stage. And everything is set up. Thank Jesus I didn't miss it. I asked a worker what time it was since I couldn't find my phone. I probably left it near Shawn. Ugghhh. Shawn. My thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Y/N? You okay?" He says.

"Cameron? You're the one that helped me?" I say wide eyed.

"Yeah. But are you okay?" He says as I realize I never answered his question.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I lie.

"No offense, but it didn't seem like you were were 'fine'."he said with air quotes.

I don't answer. I didn't know what to say. I just stood there, emotionless.

"Would you like to talk about it?" He says concerned.

"Umm. Not right now. Maybe later?" I say nicely.

Shawn's POV: (Didn't expect that. Did ya?😏)

I'm so worried. She just ran off. I didn't mean it like that. I only said 'yeah' because I thought it would make it awkward between us, if I said yes. I tried calling for her, but she didn't answer. I tried running after her but she was too fast. Oh yeah....I forgot she was the captain of her school track team. *mental face palm* I see her phone laying on the table we were sitting beside. I grab it and begin searching for where she went.

I've been looking everywhere for her, it's been about an hour. I finally find her on stage talking to Cameron. It was too faint to hear them so I just waited for one of them to leave. She soon left and I followed her so I could apologize.

"Y/N?" I say with my voice trembling.

Haha. I made a cliffhanger. You still love me, right? No? Okay.
