Shawn and Lucy have been best friends since age 3. As they grew up, they discovered themselves and each other, while Shawn wrote it all down. As Shawn grew up, he discovers his love for music, and Lucy, along with their other friends, recognized his...
"Used to think that we would last forever How could I have been so wrong? Never thought I'd be the one to say this What if our time has come and gone?"
(Honestly probably my favorite song from the album. It also helps that Astrid has the voice of an angel)
Shawn's POV
I thought this would be harder. I thought I would be devasted. When she told me, my heart stopped. I thought I would be jealous, I thought I would want to burst into tears... Or at least bust Tyler's nose.
But all I felt was guilt. Lucy has always been very transparent with me. Eleven years of friendship, and she had never kept a secret from me. Had our friendship really gone do downhill that she couldn't tell me that her crush asked her out. A few weeks ago, she would have called me before he even walked away. Why did she feel that she had to hide it from me?
But then, like magic, she started talking about math class, and how annoying her brothers are, and every emotion I was having it thought I would have just disappeared, and it was replaced with just pure happiness. I've never been happier than when I was with Lucy.
But I can't do this to myself. She likes Tyler, she's always liked Tyler, and I'm not gonna kid myself and believe she might like me someday.
But I'm only 14! I don't know how to deal with feelings, let alone how to get rid of them.
How do I do that?
As she ranted about Ben, I smiled because this is what we've been missing. What I've been missing with her. I'm not even gonna bring up the many elephants in the room, because I'm gonna enjoy this while I can.
After about another hour of talking, Lucy said she had to pick up Luke from his game.
She stood up from the booth, and started reaching for her empty cup, and then I realized-
"No, no, no. I'll get it." I smiled at her.
"What? You paid for it, I can get my own trash." She reached for it again, but I swiped it off the table before she could.
"Nope, too late."
"Shawn, what is with you?" She gave me a look, and I gulped.
"Nothing," I laughed it off, "I just wanted to... make sure it got recycled."
"... Recycled?" She rose an eyebrow at me.
"Yeah, I... I just saw a documentary. Ya know it said our earth is headed toward imminent doom if we don't-"
"Whatever, Shawn."She laughed, walking away. She walked out the door, then she looked back at me through the window and I waved, giving her a wide smile.
Once she was out of site, I dropped my smile, and let out a giant breath, my hand grabbing my shirt in the middle of my chest, my heart beating a mile a minute. I walked over to the trashcan, and looked at the words on the cup one last time.

Once I couldn't stand the site of it mocking me, I bitterly tossing it in the trash and walking out of the shop.
A/N I'm sorry this is so short, and I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long. Even though I doubt anyone reads this. I was working on another project with someone, but we had a falling out unfortunately, and I just couldn't bring myself to write on that one at this time, which meant I didn't have a creative outlet, which was driving me insane. I'm going to try to finish this one, just maybe not make it a series like I planned. Idk dm me if you guys have suggestions. Also dm me if any of you are 5SOS fans bc I need more friends in that fandom.
