Shawn's P.O.V
It was now time for the Performing Arts Festival and Kay and I were on next. "Hayes is going to video it for us so that we can put it on my YouTube channel." I told Kay. "This is going on your YouTube?" She said worriedly. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "What if they don't like me?!" She said nervously. "They liked you when we did the vine." I said holding her hands. "Yeah, but that was six seconds long!! This is a whole song, not to mention it's written by you! They'll probably hate me for singing it with you." She said. "And there's no-one else I'd rather sing it with..." I said kissing her forehead, "come on we've got to go on stage."
I grabbed my guitar and walked up to the mic, Kayleigh following behind me. The music started and I could tell how nervous she was.
I started...
Never thought that we would end up here,
Should've known it from the start
I know you mean it when you say you love me,
But we're trying way too hard
And then it was Kay's turn and I was scared for her, but I knew she could do it.
Used to think that we would last forever,
How could I've been so wrong
Never thought I'd be the one to say this,
What if our time has come and gone?
She sounds perfect, I don't know why she ever doubted herself, the fans will love her!
We now sing together with Kayleigh on harmony.
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, this time I'm coming up for air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Always tryna put your two cents in
Then expecting me to change
Tried to fix me up but I'm not broken,
All you do is leave me stained
Told you not to tie me down too quickly,
Take it slow it's not a race
And you keep on tryna reel me in but,
All I really need is space
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, this time I'm coming up for air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Trying to hold me down
But I'm surfacing
It's hard to let you go,
But I gotta leave
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, I'm coming up for air
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, this time I'm coming up for air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air, air, air
We finished the song and I was so happy with how it went, but I was mostly proud of how well Kay did. She was so nervous but she did amazingly.
"Kay, baby! You were so gooood!!!" I said lifting her up and spinning her around once we were off stage. She giggled and kissed me before saying, "So were you...but then you always are. So there's no point saying that because you probably already know and --" She rambled on before I kissed her to shut her up and I felt her smile into the kiss.

I went home and decided to edit and post the video as soon as possible. By 8pm it was posted. My notifications were going crazy, mainly people saying that they loved the video and if I had actually wrote it. But then there were some who were sending hate to Kayleigh like she had said in the first place. I decided to text her just to make sure she didn't take it all to heart.
*texting*
Me: Video has been posted :))
Kay: Yeah I know...
Me: You've seen the comments haven't you...
Kay: Yes.
Me: Kay, don't take it to heart. They only say stuff like that because they think you're not good for me.
Kay: Maybe I'm not.
Me: Don't say that! Of course you are. You're the best thing that's happened to me since I moved to England!
Kay: Shawn I really like you, but if your fans don't like me then maybe we shouldn't be together.
Me: I'm coming over and we are going to watch movies and eat shit. Okay! You and I are not breaking up over what the fans have been saying.
Kay: You're quite persuasive when you want to be ;)
Me: I'll see you in five babe :))
And that's what I did. I went over to Kay's house and we ate shit and watched movies.
