That night I wasn't able to sleep. There was too much to worry about. It was just like the first week I noticed there was something wrong. Her texts were different. We knew each way too well and her patterns were just off. The texts were short and boring. And soon she just stopped texting period.

Normal Kayla text: Hey hey buddy boy *emoji* *emoji*

Not so normal Kayla text: hi shawn

She never used my name in texts not unless it was an emergency. I was always a victim of her nicknames. I know it seems creepy but I just notice these things. But that's what makes it hurt even more. The fact that we always cared for each other in a way that no one could compare to, explain, or understand.

She knew me better than I knew myself. But I knew I was not gonna march over to her today I was too much of a wimp.
Everyone says I'm a gentle giant, I have the muscle but never use it for evil. Great power comes with great responsibility.
Anyways I decided to hang by the pool hoping she would stumble upon me.

Sure enough she was came out of her room. I slid on a pair of sunglasses so she couldn't tell if I was looking at her or not. And laid on a pool chair, tanning.

From the corner of my eye I saw her jaw drop. I did a slight smirk hoping she wouldn't notice. I sat up tore off my shirt revealing my abs and dove into the water. I rose to surface to see her standing there still stunned. Who can blame her?I'm hot!

"Hey there neighbor!" I waved

"Hey there neighbor!" I waved.

I was playing it cool but on the inside I was dying.

"Sh-Sh-SHAWN!" She choked.

"So how ya been over the past year? Hm?" I pushed.

(Oh shits bout to get real!)

"Um it's been good... You? What about you..." She stuttered.

"It's been great met lots of people but you wouldn't know." I said playing with my tongue pushing the inside of my cheek.

(Savage)

"Your right I don't really know.... But I'm just here to tan."

"Go right ahead."

"I will I come out here everyday." She stated.

She took off her shorts and dropped her sweater over her shoulder, teasing me. She was playing the same games. I could tell she was getting her Kayla confidence back when she fully dropped the sweater. I looked from the corner of my eye admiring her body. It was toned and tan, I'm not one to stare but damn, kinda wished I was an ex-boyfriend now.

It had been just 15 minutes when I heard her phone buzz from a text message.

"Oh shit!" She stressed.

"What?"

"Nothing I just gotta go."

I'd never seen her rush for anything. Anything but me.

(Flashback#1)

Ding!ding!

Kayla picked up her phone looked at it for a second before tossing it.

"Who's that?" I laughed.

"Oh it's just Bobby." She shrugged.

"You're not gonna text back?"

"Nah we're done."

"Does he know that?" I asked shocked.

"I assume."

"What about your mom she texted you to come home like 5 minutes ago."

"Shawny baby I just got here I'm not gonna leave my best friend."

I smiled and kissed her forehead. It was great that we could do simple things like that and not care, except I did.

(FlashBack#2)

'Kayla?! You busy!' I texted.

'Nope not at all Shawny poo' she quickly texted back.

'Ok good! I broke my ankle and I'm at hospital!'

'Wtf! I knew I should've came to the skatepark with you and the boys! On my way!'

She was always concerned with me. Soon she was at the hospital with a braid in her hair and a penny board in her hand.

"Oh my fuck! Shawn it's purple-ish!" She exclaimed.

"Is that the technical term or..." I joked.

"Shawn do you want a black eye with a purple ankle?" She said sarcastically.

I laughed.

"Oh hey! How are you! I'm Cameron and you're name?" Cameron said holding out a hand.

"Fine, names Kayla." She answered.

"You are fine.." Cameron muttered.
"Um well nice meeting you! I'm gonna go get some food want some Shawn?"

"Yeah coffee and a burger please." I asked for.

"I'm starving I'll probably come too. I mean you only have two hands." Kayla said following after Cameron.

And for your information Kayla's only nice to strangers when she wants something.

"Brb Men-desmond!"

"What are these nicknames?" I shouted before she closed the door behind her.

Couple of minutes later she was handing me a plate of food telling me that she got Cameron's number. My first thought was oh great I'm left with a broken ankle and a broken heart. But I realized that Cameron was never that type of guy and she would leave him after a week or so maybe just a day. But I was wrong.

2 months later I was walking into Kayla's house finding her half naked with Cameron. Their relationship was the longest she'd been in to be honest. Not just those two months, they lasted 5 months. Even as much as I wanted them to be done I felt bad for Cam. He was always asking about her, wondering where she'd gone. And I had to lie for her saying she was worried she would interfere with his career. Here he was craving for her and she had lost interest.

I keep craving, craving, you don't know it, but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you
This is typical of love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait
I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever
-imagination

I was really surprised she didn't go through half of magcon. Especially if she thought like 6 of them were cute. Although she didn't like at least 2 of the boys at all and to be honest I didn't like them at first either. I'm not one to spill the beans but the only ones I liked were Hayes, Nash, Cameron, Matt, Aaron, and the Jacks. Oh oops too much info! That leaves two of the of the magcon boys... Don't worry I began to like them later.

(End of the Flashbacks...)

"Well I have no purpose she's gone." I said jumping out of the pool.

I grabbed my towel and dabbed my self down. (Ooh dab!)
I decided not to let a warm sunny day go to waste and tan a little while more. Just then a pretty girl walked by eyeing me.

"Hey hot stuff!" She flirted.
"Your Shawn Mendes aren't you?"

I put a finger up to my lips shushing her jokingly. She definitely hung out with Kayla the way she was talking.

"Don't worry I wouldn't rat you out if I could have you to myself?" She smirked.

"Nice to know..."
