loving can hurt
loving can hurt sometimes
but it's the only thing i know
when it gets hard
you know it can get hard sometimes
it is the only thing that makes us feel alive

"who is she shawn?" she steps toward to him.

"why do you care anyways? you said yourself, you're just a publicity stunt!" his voice getting louder.

"well maybe i actually wanna be with you!" she shouts suddenly. shawn stumbles back in bewilderment. the tears are threatening to spill from bianca's eyes but she restrains them. the silence is deafening.

"well?" her voice croaks breaking. "say something." she barely whispers, the words not able to leave her voice box.

"i wanna be with you too bianca." his voice is soft like silk. he means what he's saying but it's hard for him to admit it. only two minutes ago they were acting like they were a couple -holding hands, kissing, snickering in each other's ears- but they don't know anything about each other. yet they've seem to fall for one another harder then they have for another else.

"i want you to be more than just an advancement for my career. i want to be with you instead of just talking when we meet up to go out for the cameras."

"really?" there's shock in her tone but it's sincere.

he moves closer grabbing her hand. he looks at their intertwined fingertips. his eyes moving from their sparking connection to her glittering eyes. whether they said it or not there's something here. something neither of them have experienced but have wanted for some time.

"can i take you out, for real?" he asks nervously. the intensity in the moment is too much for bianca. when she got the call to be "shawn mendes' girlfriend" she took it automatically because she needed the money. now she would do it for free. he's unlike any creature she's laid eyes on before. he's kind & sarcastic as hell but that made him irresistible.

she nods smiling, not daring to move from their intimate position. their hands are still connected soaking in each other's heat. they're breathing the same oxygen which in a way seems to bring them closer than they already are.

we keep this love in a photograph
we make these memories for ourselves
where our eyes are never closing
hearts were never broken
and time's forever frozen still

he wants to kiss her but he knows it's not right. it wouldn't be authentic. she knows this too so she remains still. i can't mess this up. he says to himself. if they are ever going to really be something they have to take it slow. they've been going full speed ever since they met.

but the heat, the intensity, the lust for their skin to be against one another is too much to bare. they can't just stop here. split second he crashes his lips into hers. the world stops for a moment only orbiting around them. she deepens the kiss by ruffling his freshly cut locks. his hands adjust to her waist pulling her closer. for the first time since they met this was the only kiss they had where they meant it. they want to get to know each other. they want to hug & for the touch to mean something. when they look at each other they want to know they're the only ones in the universe that they will ever need.

and just like that their true love story began under the lamppost back on 6th street.
