Our best mistake // Shawn Mendes Fanfiction

Chapter 19

I am so in love with him...

I wake up early in the morning, and find an empty bed next to me. Shawn is already up. I get dressed quickly and walk to the kitchen, but I can't find him here... There is no dirty plate in the dishwasher or in the sink, so I guess he didn't have breakfast already. I walk across the flat, and hear some guitar coming form a room I never went into before. Maybe a music room. I listen to the melody that I don't recognise. When I met Shawn, I listened to all his songs and now, I know them all by heart, but this music, I never heard it before... I decide not to interrupt him, and go back to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

I prepare coffee, bake some pancakes and set the table. When I am about to finish, I hear a voice behind me :

-Hello sweetheart...

-Hey Shawn ! How are you today ?

-Way better than yesterday night !

-Great ! I heard you were playing the guitar, I didn't want to interrupt you, so I baked some pancakes for you...

-You are the best ! Thank you Madison !

We both walk outside on his balcony and enjoy our maple syrup pancakes while watching the city. The view is amazing, especially when Shawn's in it...😏

-Hey Maddi, this morning, I started to write a song, and I wondered if you'd like to record it with me...

-You mean... sing ?

-Yeah ! And I'd need help to finish the lyrics too...

-Oh I'd love to !

He smiles at me and I can see that at this very moment, he is sincerely happy.

Shawn hands me a piece of paper on which he wrote the beginning of his new song's lyrics and he sings them for me :

"Never thought that we would end up here
Should've known it from the start
I know you mean it when you say you love me
But we're trying way too hard

Used to think that we would last forever
How could I've been so wrong?
Never thought I'd be the one to say this
What if our time has come and gone?

You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along
And I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me
This time I'm coming up for air

Always tryna put your two cents in
Then expecting me to change..."

A new love song, I'm pretty sure it's about Shirley, but whatever, I'll help Shawn. I think for a few minutes, than ask :

-What about « Tryna fix me up, but I'm not broken » ?

-Great idea !... « Tryna fixme up but I'm not broken... All you do is leave me stained ! »

-Wow ! You come up quick with lyrics !

-« Told you not to tie me down too quickly »

-« Take it slow it's not a race »

-« And you keep on tryna reel me in, but »

-« All I really need... is space ! »

-Ok, this was perfect !

Then Shawn wrote down one more verse and we were done with his new song... « Air ». We got in his car, and drove to the studio.
