Unity // A Shawn Mendes Fanfiction

Chapter 8

Alice and I sat in the warm spring sun. Watching Jax's football practice from the bleachers on the field.

"Go JAAXXXXXX!!!" We yelled.

We watched as Jax ran down the full length of the pitch, still in control with the ball, kicking it  expertly into the goal.

"WOOOOOOO!!! "

He turned to me and Alice and did a little celebration dance, which made us both laugh.

"Ummm... Hey Alice? "

The voice made us both jump. We turned around in sync because we are just to cool.

" D'you wanna some and chill with me?" Luke asked.

Alice looked at me for approval, we had the next lesson free and we were going to go shopping. Mind you, I didn't really want to go anyways.

I nodded and turned to Luke, "Just return her one piece!"

Alice got up and gathered her stuff,  gave me wave and walked off, her hand interwoven with Luke's.

So now I sat all alone on the bleachers. I went on instagram for a bit, I was getting quite popular! I had this anonymous instagram account where I would post  piano covers of songs, I was approaching the 2k mark and was pretty happy about that!

I looked up just in time to see Maddie and her crew at the bottom of the bleachers. Probably looking for which boy she was going to make out with next. Jax looked engulfed in the game so I decided to make a speedy exit to my 2nd home - the music department.

10 minutes later and here I am. Sat in front  of my favourite piano, in one of the little practice rooms within the music block. I flicked through my music folder, wondering what to play next. I decided on Summertime Sadness and propped the sheet up onto the music stand.

I placed my hands on the keys, feeling comfortable and at ease as I ran my fingers gently along them. I felt like when I played the music, the piano and I were one - yep this is deep shizzle. I had never really played this song before, but as soon as the rhythm trapped me I was in my element.

Before long, I did something I hardly ever do. I started to sing. I only ever sing by myself, at home when I am sure I am alone. The acoustics in this room were great and the song started to come together.

"I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

The last note echoed around the room. After that, I felt refreshed. I enjoyed the silence in the room, it was like my own little world. In fact-

That's when I heard the door shut.

Shoot.

Someone was listening? I'm in a practice room for a reason gees!

I pushed myself off the piano stool, filled with embarrassment and anger that someone just walked in and had been listening  to me  singing! I flung the door open, adrenaline filled me, like it did with my encounter with Madison.  What if  it was Madison and she recorded me.What  if she spread it around and sent it to everyone and shared it online and showed everyone and-! Oh she was going to get it! I was ready to tell whoever was walking off what's what!

But it  wasn't a platinum blonde Madison walking away from the door.

It was a boy with hair the colour of chocolate.

A boy with warm, chestnut eyes.

A boy who held a guitar in one hand.

It was a boy whose name was Shawn.
