Shawn Mendes Imagines

109 - Cameron

My chest felt heavy. It was as if something was lying on me. The pressure was getting worse by the second as before I knew it, I was on my knees, crying my heart out. My grip on my phone weakened as the disbelief faded off, sending the device to the floor next to my broken self.

Why? Why did this have to happen to him? Why did he have to leave? This isn't fair! Why him?! There are a million other people that want to take their own lives. There are a million other people that only have destroyed the lives of others and deserve to take his place. But why did it happen to him?

I saw articles after articles that morning, all saying that he passed away. I didn't want to believe it. I had to hear it from my parents themselves yet they didn't even bother to tell me of my brother's passing before they released the statement. When they finally did, I was hit with the "I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner. We just couldn't bring ourselves to break your heart just like that." Like making me find out through the news is better?

He was my best friend, only being a year older than me. He was always there for me to rely on whenever things got difficult. He was an inspiration to me and to a lot of other people out there that have looked up to him. Why did he have to be gone so soon?

It didn't take long for me to fully give out on the floor of my dorm room. It's sad how I couldn't be there in his last moments as I still had to finish my enrollment for the next school year. It was all so sudden. I was literally the last person he talked to before he died in his sleep that night.

"Y/n?" A voice asked on the other side of the door, following a knock on the wood. 

I brought a hand to my mouth, biting onto my wrist to keep me from sobbing out loud. I heard the door open and soon enough, a pair of arms were wrapped around me. I turned and buried my head against his chest and just cried.

"It's okay, love. Just let it all out." Shawn whispered, bringing me onto his lap and placing soft kisses on my hair. "I ran as soon as I found out. I know how much he meant to you. After all, he was your only brother, your best friend growing up."

"Why him?" I sobbed out. "Why'd he have to go?"

"I guess heaven needed more angels, love."

"B-but why does it have to be Cameron? Why couldn't someone else die, just not him?!"

"Y/n, you don't mean that. I know that it hurts to lose someone who means the world to you but you wouldn't want to wish something so awful for others."

I just held onto the fabric of his shirt as I continued to let the pain out. "He cared for so many people, wanted to make the world a better place. He was selfless and kind... I just don't understand why someone like that would be taken away by time just like that."

"Well, he's probably watching over you now and I don't doubt that it hurts him seeing you like this."

"But it hurts me to have him gone."

My cries died down a little, at least not as bad as before. I shut my eyes and just imagined him being the one that held me, thinking back to the times when he would be the one to comfort me when I was afraid or hurt. His voice as he tried to calm me down while placing my head against his chest, right where his heart is. The heart that he shared with so many people.

"I was the last person he talked to." I muttered, wiping my tears with the back of my hand. "He was slowly dozing off into the phone before he said goodbye and fell asleep, not knowing that it would last forever."

"What did he say?"

"He wanted to check in on me, what I had to finish and when I was going to fly back... Then he told me that he missed me. That no matter the distance between us, he will always be there for me and that he will always be my best friend and my brother."

"And?"

"Our last words to each other were I love you..."

"At least you were able to tell him you loved him one last time, right?"

"Yeah... But I wish I just had a little more time."

"I know, love. I know. But he'll always be here for you, in heart and spirit. He will always be here for you, just like he said."

A/N: Sorry if this sucked. This is definitely my shortest and not one of my best works but fuck... it hurts. I've been watching Cameron Boyce since he was still in Jessie. I remember always tuning in and completely loving his character. Then Descendants came and I honestly never really liked the plot but I watched since he is such a great actor. Not gonna lie, he was also one of my celebrity crushes and Carlos De Vil was one of my character crushes. The fact that the world has lost another bright light... it honestly hurts.

Rest In Paradise, Cam. You've done well even in the short amount of time you've had here on Earth.
