Something Big // s. m.

(Wow I just realized that the chapter number is the same as the album release date)

Shawn's POV

"Any minute now." Andrew mumbled.

I sat on the couch in my tour bus, on our way to another show. It was late at night. The time was 11:56. Just a few minutes until my album release. Everything I had worked on for months would finally be available to the fans.

Andrew hung up the phone. "I was just calling Apple to make sure they were releasing it on time this time. They always seem to screw it up somehow."

I nodded, taking a deep breath. This is a big moment. Just then my phone started to ring; it was Aaliyah.

"Hey sis."

"You excited?"

"More like nervous. This isn't like how it used to be when you would vine me in my room. This is an entire album of my own music."

"Just know that mom and dad said that they love you and are very proud of you. So am I. Everyone will love your album. Soon there will be people making covers of your songs like we did on your vine and YouTube."

"Thanks Aaliyah. Tell mom and dad that I love them too and I will be home in a few weeks. I've missed you all."

"See you then! I miss you Shawnie!"

"Miss you too Aalie."

"Bye!"

"Bye!"

"Get ready to make a vine Shawn, there's only a minute until the release." Andrew said from the front of the bus.

I pulled up vine on my phone as Andrew started to count down. When he reached one and the clock ticked twelve, I started the vine.

"What's up guys! My album Handwritten is out please go get it."

I posted it and ran up to the front of the bus and hugged Andrew.

"Thank you so much you made my dreams a reality. I can't thank you enough." I said when we broke away from the hug.

"And I couldn't be more proud." He said with a smile.

Talia's POV

"CAROLINE OH MY GOD ITS SO AMAZING!" I said over Skype on my laptop. Handwritten had just been released a few minutes ago. The whole album was on repeat.

"I mean it was good live but wow." Caroline said. It was nice to finally have the studio versions of all the songs rather than the live version and the preview on iTunes.

"Favorite song?" I asked.

"Stitches.... no.... Aftertaste...... no..... I Don't Even Know Your Name.... no..... Air...... no.....Imagination! I can't choose!" She said with a laugh.

"Well my favorite is....." I said. I don't really know. All of them are really good but special in their own way so it's hard to compare them. "I do really like What It Takes though, it's very meaningful."

"Aw I can just imagine..." Caroline said but she was cut off by the sound of my phone ringing.

It was Shawn.

The normality of him calling me blows my mind. Every fangirl right now would kill to be in my place.

"Who's that?" Caroline asked, peering closer to her screen to try and see the caller ID.

"Shawn." I said with a smile. I held my finger up to my lips to quiet her squeals before I pressed answer.

"Hello?"

"What do you think?"

"I love it. You put so much meaning into every single song and it came together so perfectly."

"Thank you. Most of it was just random inspiration or a tune that popped into my head. Then the writers and I just built off from there."

"That's how my songwriting starts too. But most of it I never finish. Anyway I have to get some sleep I have school tomorrow."

"Ok! Talk to you later, bye."

"Love you, bye."

I pressed the end call button and looked up at at Caroline. Wait. Did I just...?

"Did you just...?"

Oops.

Sorry for the incredibly sucky and late chapter.

I hope you all don't hate me now.

WHO LIKES THE NEW COVER? BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE? SOME FEEDBACK?

THANKS FOR 4K READS NOW! The numbers climb so fast now! Thanks so much!

I promise I will update sooner.

ON WEDNESDAY IT WILL BE A WEEK UNTIL I SEE SHAWN IN CONCERT

I'm so excited (I wish I had bought VIP though).
