One-shots and short stories about our favorite "just friends" <3
This is my very first Shawmila/Shamila fanfic. This book will be a collection of one-shots/short stories with these two.
A/N: I legit don't know what's wrong with my brain. I am writing two other Shawmila stories right now, and then THIS pops in and won't leave, so here it is. I hope you all like it.
"Oh, shit," he said as he scrolled through twitter seeing the negative headlines and comments about him and Camila. "Fuck" he swore a little louder. He was in a car on his way to soundcheck for his current tour stop.
"Dude... what's going on?" Connor asked. Giving his friend a side-eye as he looked through the photos on his camera of their Miami tour stop.
Shawn dropped his phone, his head dropping back and he let out a big sigh. Eyes closed. "This is not gonna be good" he simply stated. Connor leaned over to look at his friend's phone, eyes wide as he read what was on the screen.
"I'm sorry bro, that terrible. Who the fuck do they think they are saying shit like that?" Connor practically yelled, right next to Shawn's ear.
"Dude!" Shawn shoved him away, "you want me to go deaf?" Running his ear
"Sorry man, but that's a bunch of crap!" He said in an exasperated tone. Scowling he picked his camera back up, and with hurried fingers found the picture he was looking for. Smirking he handed the camera to his friend.
Shawn looked down at the viewer on Connors' camera and his breath caught. He brought the camera closer and a brilliant smile crossed over his face.
She looked back at him through the camera with hooded eyes, through her thick lashes, her hair cascading down one side, her pink lips in a slight pout and she was wearing a simple black tank top. It looked like it was taken somewhere backstage at the Miami show. He couldn't take his eyes from the photo. He was mesmerized by her.

Connor looked up from his phone and over at his friend. Who had the goofiest grin on his face. "Bro... you stare any harder at that camera I feel like it will explode..."
Shawn blinked and looked over at him "when did you take this?" He asked, then went back to looking at the picture.
Connor chuckled, "I actually didn't, I think she stole my camera when I wasn't around" eyeing his friend again. Man, this guy was a goner.
His fingers brushed over the photo viewer as if he was caressing her face. It hasn't even been a full 24 hours and there was a giant hole in his chest from missing her. He just hoped that if she had seen all the negative things on social media, that she was handling it okay. He was brought out of his Camila induced trance when the car came to a stop at the back entrance of tonight's venue. He looked up. Hesitantly gave Connor his camera back and exited the car.

They watched as Shawn did his soundcheck, he was working something out in his head because he had been banging out this incredibly moving melody on the piano. His brow was furrowed as he poured whatever emotion he had inside, out of his fingers and through the piano.
Brian looked over at Connor, who simply showed him the picture on his camera that Shawn had stared at in the car. Brian nodding his head in understanding. He leaned the other direction, and whispered to Andrew, "I think you better try and get her on the phone, the poor guy isn't gonna make it at this rate."
Andrew nodded in agreement, turned and left the other two guys on the stage, to watch the unraveling of Shawn Medes.

Andrew found them in a dressing room, Connor editing photos on his computer, Brian scrolling through his phone and Shawn. Poor Shawn was sitting slouched on a lounge chair, hood up and head back, staring at the ceiling, his fingers tapping out a rhythm on the arm of the chair. He smiled, looked at his phone before tapping Shawn on the shoulder. Shawn looked over at him, and Andrew simply held the phone up so he could see the screen.
As soon as the screen of the phone came into focus Shawn shot straight up and practically snatched the phone away from Andrew. She was there on the screen, her beautiful face looking right at him.
"Hey you..." he said in a low voice, smiling at her. His cheeks becoming warm and a soft pink blush illuminated them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Andrew, shoo the other guys out of the room and close the door behind them all.
"Shawn..." she said in a breathy whisper. Her heart suddenly expanding in her chest as she looked at him. Her beautiful, full lips curving up into a brilliant smile. "I miss you" she stated simply, never letting her eyes wander away from his.
He smiled brighter, his stomach flipping and his heart skipping beats. "oh Mila, you have no idea how much I miss you too..." he noticed a bit of sadness in her eye, which gave him the overwhelming urge to need to wrap her in his arms. " are you okay darling?"
"I am as okay as I am going to be without you with me..." she said to him, watching as he ran a hand through his hair. That glorious hair she loved to bury her own fingers in. "..well... and..."
"and...? oh! did you see what's going on?" he asked, his voice full of concern and worry.
"it's hard not to see all that stuff the minute I open Twitter or Instagram... you know?" she looked down, using her free hand to trace aimlessly into the table she was sitting at. "I-"
He cut her off before she could say another word, looking right at her through the phone screen"You are perfect in every way" he felt the emotion start to build in his chest.
She looked back at him, a sad smile on her lips "You have said that before, even before... this..." she pointed between them "whatever this is, started..." letting out an exasperated breath.
"And you know what babe?" he paused, making sure she was paying attention "... I meant it every single time, and still, do."
Her heart just about exploded out of her chest, a beautiful pink blush creeping up her neck to her cheeks, her smile capturing her entire face, the type of smile that always took his breath away. "Shawn... ?" she paused, making sure he was still there with her.
He kept his eyes on the screen, watched as she paused after saying his name, he felt nervous fluttering in his chest, as he waited for her to speak next.
"Te amo con todo mi corazon siempre y por siempre" (I love you with all of my heart, forever and ever). And before he could respond she kissed the phone and ended the call.
He sat there with the phone in his hand and a black screen. He knew just enough Spanish, that she taught him, to know she had said 'I love you forever' the rest he wasn't sure about. He stood up to find Andrew, to return his phone to him the entire time smiling like an idiot.
He found the three of them on the stage again, walked over and gave Andrew the phone back. "Thanks, man... I mean it, that was exactly what I needed" his smile growing.
"Well, thank goodness the real Shawn Mendes has returned!" Andrew joked slapping Shawn on the shoulder. "come on, you gotta get ready for your show."

Shawn entered his changing room, and quickly dig his own phone out of his guitar case. Smiling at the picture of the two of them, that graced his lock screen. He clicked his messaging app and typed out a simple message to her. He sent it, threw the phone back in the case and headed to go change.
*
In Miami, Camila's phone dinged. She dug it out of her pocket, seeing there was a text. She opened the message and her heart nearly exploded right then and there.
Sooooo I hope you liked this. Like I said at the beginning of the chapter, I have two other stories in the works. I will do the best I can to get them out to you all ASAP!
