The One? //Shawn Mendes

•chapter 9•

Morgan's POV

I'm talking with all my other friends and brother who came her also with Alex. I've missed them so much. I was talking to Macey as I looked up at the stage.

I see all the guys faces. The looked confused, surprised, shocked. I have a lot of explaining to do I think. Especially to Jack. I also see Shawn and Mahogany right next to each other. Mahogany is saying something to him. Shawn looks down. He looks upset. He then shakes his head and walks off the stage.

"Hey Macey, I'll be right back. I gotta do something real quick." I say turning back to Macey who was talking. "Okay." She smiles lightly. I do the same then walk up on the stage.

Jack comes up to me. "Morgan." Jack says. He's all serious and you can sense his anger. "I have to talk to Shawn. I'll talk to you later I promise." I say quickly. "Morgan!" Jack shouts.

I go backstage to find Shawn sitting on the black couch. He's lightly strumming his guitar and humming. "Hey Shawn?" I say going closer to him. "What." He says. His tone catches me by surprise. He seems really upset with me. I didn't mean to hurt him.

"What you said before... about you liking me," I start. "Yea what about it? I clearly just made a fool of myself. Considering that little episode that just happened." He says. He has like no emotion in his voice. But I can tell he is hurt. He hasn't looked at me. He was still looking down at his guitar, playing with it.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just, I didn't know you liked me like that. I thought we were just friends... best friends." I say looking down at my feet.

"How did you not know that I liked you? What about the dates we've been on all through out tour-" I cut him off. "Shawn.. you do know we've only had one date." I say confused. Did he take the other times we hung out as dates? "Wow." He scoffs. "I'm more stupid than I thought. Of course they weren't dates, to you anyways. I thought it was. But I'm clearly an idiot." He sighs.

"Shawn, your not an idiot. I am. I should've told you about Alex." I say. "Yea you should've." He says in disappointment. "But what about that kiss? On our first date, or only date. You didn't feel anything?" He questions. I sit down next to him on the couch. "Of course I felt something Shawn. And I did really like you then. But things changed and, and it's just complicated." I say. He finally looks at me.

"How is it so complicated that you couldn't tell me you had a boyfriend. You should've known I had feelings for you. Especially after that kiss." He says. "I'm sorry Shawn. I really am." I say looking down, away from him. He gets up, grabbing his guitar. "Yea I'm sorry too." He sighs and walks away.

I'm still looking down. I can feel tears coming to my eyes. I think I just lost one of my best friends. I then see Mahogany walking up to me and sitting down next to me.

"Morgan? What's wrong?" She asks. "I think I just lost one of my best friends." I say. I sniffle but I am making sure I don't let these tears flow. "What happened?" She asks. "Let's just say Shawn hates me." I sigh. A tear slips. I quickly wipe it away.

Then, of course, Jack comes back stage walking up to me too. "Morgan, I seriously want to know what the- hey what's wrong?" He says taking a seat on the other side of me. Another tear slips. Jack wipes it away. "Who in the hell hurt you. Cause who ever it is, I'm sure as hell gonna hurt their face." He says angrily. I love how protective Jack is. Although he's my cousin, we're very close, so it feels like he's my brother. Like Luke and I.

"She thinks Shawn hates her. Cause of... what happened." Mahogany says to Jack. Yet another tear finds away to slip from my eyes. "Morgan. He doesn't hate you. We were all, and still are, confused and surprised on what happened. We all thought you liked Shawn. He we all know he really likes you. We just didn't know you had a boyfriend and neither did Shawn. He just needs time to process." Jack says trying to comfort me. "You caught everyone off guard."
