Dear Diary... (Shawmila)

"Please don't..."

Shawn wasn't sure if it was the actual words that were spoken or the tiny, tear soaked voice that spoke them that caused his heart to stop momentarily in his chest, or maybe it was the look of sheer panic on Sinu Cabellos face but in that moment all he knew for sure was that something was wrong, in fact something was very, very wrong

"CAMILA!" He and her mother both called out in unison, Shawns hands immediately beginning to pound against the wooden door

"Let us in! Camila open this door right now!" His voice was fast and panicked as his hands stilled against the wood, and then he heard it, the mix of both male and female voices, one loud and demanding, the other quiet and begging "He's home!" he said in shock, his face paling visibly as he turned to Camilas mother "He came home early, we're too late"

"Camila!" Sinu slapped and kicked at the door, desperate to get it to open, desperate to remove the barrier that stood between her and her eldest daughter, terrified by what she had heard from Shawn and what she had just heard with her own ears "Camila mija, Por favor!"

"There's something up against it, when I kicked it down the other day it fell easily, there's something more" feeling another rush of panic he ran around the narrow cement pathway to the back of the house and began pounding on the other door before desperately trying to see into the kitchen through the window but the blinds had all been drawn. 

In his state of panic he began kicking the door harder, yelling Camilas name louder as the commotion inside became more and more frantic and he could feel his heart rate and breathing begin to race along with it

"Here, use this" spinning around in shock, Shawn was surprised to find his dad stood beside him holding out an axe, taking it from him, Shawn heaved in a breath and tried to calm down "I HAVE AN AXE!" he yelled "You either open the door or I will break it down but one way or another I want to see Camila"

The house suddenly fell into silence and Shawn held his breath as he waited but after a moment or two he realised the people inside had no intention of opening up the door so he lifted the axe above his head and brought it down hard against the wood Over and over he hit it as his dad continued to kick and finally the wooden door gave way and fell open, the sight before them causing both men to freeze and gasp as the axe fell from Shawns hand to his feet

"Here he is, It's the big hero, making the big heroes enterence" Jared seethed, pressing the cold metal blade he held in his hand tight against the skin of Camilas throat

"Let her go right now!" Manny demanded as Shawn just stood staring at Camila in silence, every second they had ever spent together flashing before his eyes.

"CAMILA!" Sinu appeared behind the men and immediately screamed her daughters name, fighting desperately to get to her child and in the end having to be restrained by Shawns dad

"Please..." Shawn begged "Please don't hurt her

"That's right, beg me like the bitch you are tough guy. This is who you want is it Mila? This is who you would risk our relationship for?!"

Camila lifted her head but didn't dare speak. Her curls were wild around her head indicating someones hands had been in them whilst her clothes from earlier were gone and she sat on the cold tiled floor of her kitchen wearing nothing but white panties and a white bra and Shawn wanted to run to her, grab her from Jareds arms and cover her up and then never ever let her go again, the only thing standing in his way was the silver blade that Jared had pressed to her delicate throat

"Please, what ever you want I will give you, just let my daughter go"

"Oh I don't want anything from you, i had everything you could ever give me, everything I ever  wanted right here" Using his spare hand he tapped Camilas head and she gulped audibly "That is until he turned up and ruined it all. Are you happy lover boy?! This is you're fault, I hope you realise that, it's all you're fault"

"Jared he hasn't ruined it" said Camila, her voice small and hoarse "I love you, we can work this out, I promise, let me go and we can fix this "

"No we can't, don't lie to me! don't you ever fuckin lie to me" Again he pressed the knife harder against her skin causing her to whimper loudly "You love him don't you, and I warn you, one more lie and they're going to be taking both of you out of here in body bags. You love him not me, DON'T YOU!"

"Yes" Camila whimpered, dropping her gaze to the knife "Yes, i do"

13 year old Camila Cabello slipped across the soft sand, humming happily as she headed towards the cool water of the sea

She'd just finished her dance class when her dad offered to take her for ice cream and a trip to the beach, the day couldn't have been any more perfect and then she saw the only person on Earth that could make perfect even better.

Standing in the sea, the wind whipping at his chocolate coloured curls wearing nothing more than a pair of black swimming shorts was her best friend and secret crush... Shawn.

Grinning mischievously she began to creep up behind him, so excited to be surprising him that she didn't even breathe in case he realised she was there.

Creeping right up behind him she finally heaved in a breath and then launched herself onto his back, causing him to topple forward and for them both to land face first in the sea

"Gotcha!" She laughed as they both fought to regain their footing against the waves that were almost as tall as them

"Mila!!" Shawn yelled, trying to look angry but really just overjoyed at her presence

"Sorry, I just had to, you looked too peaceful and you know i don't like peaceful" She giggled before kicking more water up at him

"Stop it!"

"Make me!" But before she could kick more water on him he had picked her up and thrown her over his shoulder and was carrying her back towards the sand "want to get ice cream you wimp?" She asked into his ear, not fighting against him and her breath on his ear causing goosebumps to cover his skin

"I can't believe i scared you so much" giggled Camila as she licked her ice cream and then gently punched her best friend on the shoulder

"It's because you're as tiny as an ant, no one can hear you move" He huffed as he watched the ice cream enter her mouth and then return, a dribble of the creamy liquid slipping over her lip and for reasons unknown and completely unplanned, Shawn reached out and used his thumb to wipe away the mess

"Shawn..."she gulped at the gesture and then raised her gaze to meet his, only his eyes weren't on hers, instead they were fixed firmly on her lips.

Moving from one foot to another, Camila gazed up at her much taller friend as her heart began to race in anticipation of what was about to happen between them, in truth it had been building for years but now that it was finally here she couldn't help the nerves that made her entire buzz "Shawn?" she asked once more but he seemed to be in some sort of trance, his eyes never moving from her lips but his body never making a move towards hers

Patience had never been Camila Cabellos strength so after standing waiting for her first kiss for what felt like a lifetime she decided in her true Camila style that life was too short, if you wanted something you took it, so she reached up, slid her hand behind Shawns head and then pulled his lips down to meet hers.

The kiss was gentle and warm and short but they had been waiting four years for it to happen and in that moment it was everything in their young lives

"Now..." Jared deathly dark voice cut through Shawns memories as cleanly as Shawn was sure that knife in his hand would cut through Camilas perfect skin "We're going to play a game of never have I ever, Shawn and Camila, surprise, surprise you are the contestants, One lie and you both will suffer"

"Please stop this!" Cried out Sinu "Just give me back my daughter, let her go and we can forget this ever happened"

"Take a seat old woman Cabello, and you too old man Mendes because I have a feeling you're about to learn some things about your children you will wish you never knew"
