My boyfriend of two years, Shawn Mendes, and I don't have a place together, but the hotel that he's staying at isn't too far away from where I live. He's staying in a hotel because I live in America and he came all the way from Canada to visit me. It always makes me feel nice when he travels so far just to visit plain old, well, young, me. It makes me feel special.

Tonight is my friend Molly's birthday and she is one of my best friends, so I decided to throw her a party at my place. None of my friends, Molly included, had seen Shawn in a while so of course they were excited when I told them that he had said that he would be at the party. I had seen Shawn the day before the party and he said that he was really excited for it because he thinks and knows that Molly is a great person and friend.

"I'm so excited to see Shawn!" My best friend Grace said. I smiled and nodded. The party had started twenty minutes ago, and he said he would be the first person there, besides me of course.

"I know. He said he was really excited to come. I don't know where he is though..." I said.

"He'll come, don't you worry, okay?" Grace asked. I nodded.

"Okay." I said. Grace walked away and Molly came up to me.

"Thank you so much for this party Y/n! I love it!" She said. I smiled.

"I'm so glad that you like it." I said. She frowned.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing." I said with a smile. She shook her head.

"No, you've seemed off for the whole time I've been here. What's up?" She asked.

"It's just... Shawn said he would be the first person here, and we are now twenty five minutes into the party and he still isn't here." I said kind of quickly.

"He'll show up, don't worry. He probably just got caught up in something." She said. I nodded.

"Yeah." I said. She walked away and I pulled my phone out and texted him.

Me: Where are you?

Me: Shawn?

Me: Shawn where are you?

After another ten minutes went by, without Shawn's presence or a response from him, I started to worry. What if something happened to him and that's why he's not responding or showing up? I went up to Grace.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey, can you watch the party? I'm going to head to Shawn's hotel, he's not even responding to texts and I'm starting to get worried." I said. She put her hands on my shoulders.

"Y/n, he's fine. He'll show up. Don't worry." She said. Ugh. I nodded and walked away. After another twenty five terrible minutes, Shawn finally showed up.

"There he is!" Molly yelled.

"Hey! Happy birthday! I got you some beer, because, well, I know you like it." Shawn said with a laugh.

"Thank you!" She said, taking the beer from him. Shawn then saw me and smiled. I wanted to run to him, hug him, and kiss him, but I was mad at him. He had promised me that he would be here on time, and then he shows up an hour late? How could he?

"Hi baby girl." Shawn said, giving me a quick kiss.

"Can we talk in the other room?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yeah, everything okay?" He asked. I didn't respond, I just went into my bedroom with him and shut the door. "Baby we don't have time to do anything." He said with a blush. I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"I don't want sex or anything sexual, I want to know why you strolled in here an hour late, even though you promised me that you would be the first person here so we could spend time together, and you never answered any of my texts." I said, getting angry.

"Baby, I had to pick up a pack of beer for Molly." He said.

"And that took an hour and prevented you from responding to your worried girlfriend? If it weren't for Grace, I'd be at your hotel because I was worried something happened to you." I asked and said.

"Honey, I am so sorry that I worried you, I didn't mean to." He said.

"Okay, so why were you really an hour late?" I asked. He dropped his head.

"Because I forgot about the party and fell asleep." He said while picking his head up to look at me.

"You forgot and fell asleep? How could you forget? We've been talking about how excited we were for this party for weeks! And then you fell asleep?" I yelled.

"Baby, shhh, everyone is going to hear you." He said.

"I don't care Shawn. For right now, let's put up a front for everyone and pretend to be fine, but you're staying until the party's over so we can talk about this, got it?" I said and asked. He nodded and smirked. "Why in the world are you smirking?" I asked.

"You're hot when you're bossy." He said.

"Shawn, seriously? Not the time with the mood I'm in." I said. He gulped.

"Okay, you're right, sorry." He said, and with that, we headed out of the room. Grace walked up to us.

"See, I knew that everything would be okay. Now, go enjoy the lovely party that you've thrown." Grace said to me. I smiled and nodded. She frowned and pulled me away from Shawn.

"What?" I asked.

"Why are you fake smiling?" She asked.

"Because my dipshit of a boyfriend forgot about the party that we've been talking about for weeks and fell asleep, and couldn't respond to my texts yet he could get Molly beer." I said. She shook her head, walked over to Shawn, and whispered something in his ear before walking away from us. I walked over to him.

"What did she whisper to you?" I asked.

"Well I'm guessing that you told her what happened because she whispered to me that I'm an idiot and then walked away." He said.

"Yeah I told her what happened." I said, taking a sip of a beer that I had just grabbed.

"What are you doing? You hate beer." He asked and said. I nodded.

"I do, but I'm going to need alcohol if I'm going to get through this night." I said, and just before I could take another sip, Shawn took the beer and gave it to Molly.

"Here, she doesn't like it. Never has." He said.

"Thank you Shawn, you're the best." She said.

"What the hell?" I whispered to him once she had walked away.

"That was an unhealthy coping mechanism." He said. Ugh.

"Whatever Shawn." I said a little too loudly because my friend Avery turned around and frowned.

"Is there trouble in paradise for you guys?" Avery asked. I shook my head and Shawn kissed my cheek. As mad at him as I was, his warm lips felt nice on my cheek.

"No, not for us." Shawn said. I fake smiled and Avery nodded before turning back to her conversation. Shawn turned to me.

"What?" I asked.

"Stop fake smiling or I'll tickle you." He said.

"Stop forgetting about something that we've talked about for weeks or I'll give you tomatoes." I said with yet another fake smile.

"You would never do that." He said. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Grace.

"Hey." She said.

"Hi. Can I hang with you please?" I asked.

"Just pretend that everything is okay with him, spend the rest of the party with him, and then makeup when everybody leaves." She said.

"That was the plan but he's getting on my nerves." I said. She shook her head and gently grabbed me by the arm and dragged me over to Shawn.

"Come with me Shawn." She said. We followed her as she took us to my bedroom. She shut the door and looked at us. "You two are not going to leave this room until you've made up, understand?" She asked.

"Yup." I said.

"Yeah." Shawn said.

"Good." She said before walking out and shutting the door behind her.

"I just don't get it Shawn. How could you forget?" I said and asked. He shrugged and shook his head.

"I don't know. Please honey, I don't want to fight with you. I want you to have a real smile on your beautiful face and I want to make you happy again." He said.

"I just don't know what to do Shawn." I said.

"You're not going to break up with me are you? Because I can't lose you, Y/n I can't lose you. It was a simple mistake, honestly." He said, tears now forming in his eyes. My heart broke as I rushed over to him. He rested his head on my shoulder and I could feel the teardrops. I ran my fingers through his curly hair.

"Okay, it's okay. I'm not breaking up with you okay handsome? You're not losing me. In fact, you will never, ever, ever lose me. Look at me baby." I said. He picked his head up and looked me in the eyes.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"It's okay, I overreacted, and I'm sorry for that." I said.

"It's okay. I love you honey, I really do." He said as he stopped crying. I smiled at him.

"I love you too. Come on, let's get back out there and smile for real, okay?" I asked. He nodded.

"Okay but can I have a kiss first please?" He asked. I giggled.

"You never have to ask baby boy." I said. He immediately put his lips on mine and I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks, I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, and I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy. We soon pulled away.

"You're the love of my life." He said. I smiled.

"Good because you're the love of my life too." I said, causing him to smile. We went back out to the party and had a fun night. I'll forever love this boy, even when he makes mistakes.
