A/N: Hello lovelies!!
How was your guys' week? I may also be slightly (or more than slightly) behind in my uploading schedule again cause I have three midterms in the next week 🙄 but I'll try to upload asap 💗
Thanks for the patience xo

QOTP: what's your clothing style?
A: I usually wear jeans/leggings and a tshirt 🤓 + my watch and ring. Literally so boring haha.

Btw this is unedited so I apologize for mistakes in advance !!!

I also highly suggest you listen to "die for you" it's so good 😩 I linked a cover version since the original is not released on YouTube, but yeah, it goes well with this chapter 🤗

Your POV

It's been a few days and I haven't seen Shawn since the mall incident with Kelsey. I was starting to feel slightly terrible considering he was my only friend, and I loved him immensely. I sighed and sat on my bed, my eyes glossing over to my guitar.

I walked over to it and lifted it off its stand, my hands grazing over the strings as my mind began generating lyrics.
(A/N: all credits to the weeknd for "die for you")

I'm finding ways to articulate the feeling I'm going through, I just can't say I don't love you... cause I love you...

Shawn's POV

I sat in my car, my eyes focussed on the window just above the front door of a house, a stone grey house to be exact.
I unbuckle my seatbelt and reach over to grab the ice cream I bought.
I exit my car and walk to the front porch, my hand resting against the cold white door. I close my eyes, and knock.

The door swings open and a woman who I adored dearly, stood there with a dish towel in her hand.
"Oh Shawn, darling!" She pulls me into a hug, motioning for me to come in.
"Hello, Mrs. Y/L/N! How are you doing?" I smile, removing my shoes and following her into the kitchen, "oh just wonderful, dear! And yourself?" She perks, and I chuckle, placing the bag of ice cream onto the counter.
"I've been doing pretty good! I came to see Y/N, is she here?" I scratch my neck, and she nods, "she's up in her room, but it was nice to see you, Shawn!" I thank her and jog up the stairs, coming to a halt in front of her door.

My eyebrows knit as I press my head against the wooden door, my mouth dropping as I listened closely;

"Cause you're perfect, and I know that you're worth it.. I can't walk away...
Even though we're going through it and it makes you feel alone, just know that I would die for you, baby I would die for you.."

I hadn't noticed she had stopped, so next thing you know it, I was on the floor of her bedroom.
"Shawn?" She breathes, putting her guitar down and helping me up, "what the hell are you doing here?"
I blink and awkwardly clear my throat, "the other day with Kelsey.. I'm really sorry for what I did, I have no honest clue what I was thinking."
She looks at me with a blank expression, "I don't know what to say besides the fact that it hurt when you chose her instead of me, and especially when you tried to lie about it."

I purse my lips, and sigh, "I know boo bear, and I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel any better I broke it off with Kelsey." Y/N raises her eyebrow, "oh really?" I nod, and pull her into an embrace, "she was coming between what is most important to me," I smile, releasing her and picking up her guitar.

I hand it to her and she looks at me confusedly, "that song you were playing earlier.. Play it for me, I want to hear it." Y/N turns away and I can feel a blush creep up her cheeks as she sits herself on her carpet.
"Well... I actually wrote this about you." I blink quickly, the ends of my lips curling up, as my hand finds its way onto her bare knee. She smiles weakly before clearing her throat and beginning to strum smoothly.

"I'm finding ways to articulate the feeling I'm going through, I just can't say I don't love you... cause I love you" I stare in awe as she continues to sing, strands of her hair falling loosely over her face.

"You know what I'm thinking, I see it in your eyes, you hate that that you want me, hate it when you cry, scared to be lonely, especially in the night.." Y/N looks at me, and I swear I saw them twinkle. I was so mesmerized by her voice I didn't even realize how meaningful the lyrics were.

"Baby I would die for you."

She finishes and I continue to stare, "well.. what'd you think?" She asks nervously, fiddling with her guitar.
"You would die for me?" I manage to choke, and she just nods, "yeah, I would. I mean, you can be idiotic at times, but I'll always be here for you no matter how much of a jackass you can be."

I laugh lightly and scurry over to her, pulling her into a hug, my arms wrapping tightly around her body, not letting go.
"I love you Y/N, I couldn't have asked for a better best friend." I can feel her arms wrap around me, "I could say the same Shawny boo," she coos.

We stayed like that for a bit, and for once, everything felt... right.

A/N: I actually like how this turned out !! I think I could be getting better at this whole writing thing heh.
Anyways.. I hope you guys enjoyed that and I hope y'all have a wonderful rest of the week. Talk to y'all soon.

Much love,

-Allie 💕
