Shawn Mendes Imagines

Proud

A/N: This imagine is for @Im_only_a_dreamer. Hope you like it!

From Shawn: I'm so sorry, I can't make your dance competition tonight Lauren. I have to play at an event in thirty minutes. I'm really sorry, princess, I know how much this meant to you. I promise I'll make it up to you somehow, but I know you'll do great. Make me proud as always baby girl, I love you !

I sighed, typing back a quick 'it's okay, I love you too' before shutting off my phone.

"Okay girls, are you ready?" My dance instructor asked as my dance team lined up behind the closed curtain.

Nodding our heads, all of us got into our positions.

As the curtain opened, my eyes quickly scanned the room, seeing all of the other girls' friends, boyfriends, and family members seated in the front rows.

A sense of jealousy filled my body as I let out a soft sigh, blinking back tears at the fact that Shawn wasn't able to come.

After performing our dance routine, the whole crowd gave us a standing ovation as we left the stage.

Heading backstage, I watched as the other girls' boyfriends came in, adorning them with kisses and handing them bouquets of different colored flowers.

"Baby girl?" I heard a soft voice call as my heart stopped, recognizing the familiar sound.

Turning around, I saw Shawn standing before me, a huge smile on his lips as I jumped into his arms, sobbing madly into his shirt.

"Shawn?" I whispered, my vision becoming blurry as tears clouded my eyes.

"Shh, baby girl, I'm here," he whispered soothingly, gently stroking my hair as he held me in his arms.

"But you said-you couldn't-" I was at a loss of words as I continued to cry tears of joy into his shoulder.

"I'm here, princess, and you made me so proud out there," he said calmly into my ear, gently swaying side to side.

Putting me back on the floor, Shawn pulled me towards him, resting his hands on my cheeks as he wiped away my tears with the pads of his thumbs in one swift movement, kissing my forehead afterwards.

"Oh," his eyes widened as he turned around to grab something off of a nearby chair, "these are for you," he smiled.

Handing me a bouquet of my favorite baby pink roses, Shawn kissed the top of my head, as I smiled at his choice of flowers.

"Thank you, I love them," I replied, placing them down on my dressing room vanity.

"And I love you," he whispered softly, pulling me towards him again and wrapping his strong arms around my body, "you never fail to make me the proudest boyfriend."
