Shawn Mendes Imagines

129 - Hidden (part 2)

"What does that have to do with me?"

"You're a half-blood. He probably sees himself as far more superior than you."

"Shawn-" Cormac started only to be cut off once again.

"Maybe because of your crush, you're forgetting that maybe he's just asking you out because you're a Potter! Or maybe he was dared to do so!"

"Is that all you see me as? As just another Potter? Just the older sister of the boy who lived?" I asked incredulously. "Go on, Mendes. Tell me how I'm not good enough for him and he'll never like me for me and only because I'm a bloody Potter! Tell me how the only possible way for him to show interest in me is when he is forced to!"

"Y/n, he didn't mean it like that." Cormac intervened, trying to end the fight between the two of us.

"Well that's how he said it! You know what, I don't even want to listen to your bullshit. Good bye, Mendes."

I stood up from the table, gathering my things before walking away. I could feel the tears well up in my eyes so I decided to run to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. I went to the most hidden corner of the bathroom and sat on the floor, bringing my knees to my chest. I heard footsteps rushing into the bathroom before I felt someone kneeling beside me.

"Oh sweetie." Y/bff/n. She pulled me closer to her and wrapped an arm around me as I cried. "What's wrong?"

"Shawn." I sobbed. "Shawn fucking happened."

"Oh no... What did he say?"

"Is it that unbelievable for someone I like to actually ask me out?"

"No, sweetie."

"Then why would he say that?"

"Maybe he wasn't thinking. He may be trying to protect you. You know how he and Cormac are like when it comes to you."

"Protect me from what? I may be a Hufflepuff but I can handle things myself."

"I don't know but you know what? Screw him. Nick is a great guy, unlike him who uses women for his own amusement. Forget about what he said."

Shawn's POV

I watched as she ran out of the room, my heart getting heavy with regret. Why the fuck did I say that to her? I heard Cormac sigh and slapped me on the arm as hard as he could. I winced and rubbed my arm in pain as I glared at him.

"I know you like her but what the fuck was that?" He said, slapping me upside the head. "I get that you were jealous but that was out of line."

"I wasn't thinking." I muttered, staring down at my plate.

"Yeah, no shit."

"What am I gonna do?"

"Don't be a jealous prick, for one. But I think that's too late for that"

I sent him a glare and rolled my eyes. "I'm being serious right now."

"It's not my fault you just scared out best friend away."

"I didn't mean to!"

He sighed and gathered his things before standing up. I did the same before walking out of the great hall beside him, making our way to our next class.

"Just give her time. Apologize to her but not right away since she needs a little time to cool off or else we'll end up finding your body floating in the Black Lake." He stated. "Although, I have to agree with you. What exactly does he want from her?"

"Mendes. McLaggen. What did you do?" Potter asked angrily, walking over to us from his side of the table.

"Hello to you too, Potter." I greeted sarcastically.

"I'm not here to play nice. Why did my sister run out of the Great Hall?"

"What makes you think it had something to do with us?"

"You were obviously the last people she was talking to. And don't you dare deny it. I saw the interaction happen."

"We'll handle it, Potter." Cormac said.

"You better."

Considering that we had free period after Potions, Cormac and I decided to wait outside the Transfiguration classroom where Ravenclaw and Slytherin had their shared class. Before I apologize for my actions, I first want to know what Mayer's motive is. And I swear to Godric Gryffindor himself, I will hurt him if he hurts the woman I love.

"There he is." Cormac said, nudging me before pointing at Mayer as he made his way out of the classroom.

We followed after him and waited for him to pass by an empty hallway before pushing him against the wall. We cornered him off, making sure no one saw us.

"Mayer." Cormac greeted, pushing his arm against the black haired man's chest.

"What do you two want?" He asked, clearly annoyed at the two of us. "Spit it out. I have to get to class."

"It's simple really. What do you want from y/n?" I asked, crossing my arms and leaning against the wall beside him.

"Why? Jealous?"

I uncrossed my arms and was about to lunge at him when Cormac stuck out his free arm to stop me. "Shawn, don't."

"Answer the bloody question or we'll make sure you never step near her again."

"Is it that hard for you to comprehend that maybe I've liked your little friend for a while now? I saw the opportunity to ask her out and I took it." Mayer explained, pushing Cormac off of him.

"Look, we know you snakes are always up to no good. I swear to Godric Gryffindor, if you hurt her, we'll make you regret the day you were born." Cormac threatened, lower his voice to intimidate the guy.

"Look, I wouldn't ever dream of hurting her. I've been loving her from afar for too long to do so. I know you want to protect her but I genuinely do not mean any harm." He picked up his bag from the floor and shrugged it on. "I may be in Slytherin but that doesn't mean I'm planning on using her. It just means I'm determined on making her mine."

He walked away from the two of us and I couldn't help myself from letting out a groan and punching the wall. I guess this means I have no shot. If his words were true, then I do not stand a chance against him, especially since she's had her eye on him for the longest time now. All this time, I've been in love with someone who will always be so close yet so far away.

A/N: Anyone want a part 3? Comment down if you want a continuation and probably give Shawn a chance with y/n. I just don't feel ready giving up Nicholas's character yet.

This took me a bit to finish since my internship has started and we have been given liquidation reports after liquidation reports to finish since Tuesday.
