the city s.m.

E V I E

I found an apartment in Manhattan. It's beautiful. I have already talked to Cathy about everything and I'm leaving tomorrow.

It blows my mind that tomorrow, I am leaving my little town to go to such a big city that has so much potential.

I have told my few friends that I am leaving but honestly it didn't seem like they cared. After I talked to them I was upset. But I just realized that one day they are going to regret that they didn't care about me. Because I'm going to make it big out there.

I know I will.

I have just arrived in the big apple and I'm already lost. I have a bunch of luggage, my mom, and all my furniture won't get here till noon and its 9 in the morning.

We get a cab and he immediately knows where to go. I can't believe these taxi drivers know where everything is. As I am amazed in everything I am seeing and learning I realize that we are at my apartment building.

It looks nice and it's located in a nice area and I'm glad cause I don't want to be in the ghetto. We head inside and I tell the lady at the front desk that I bought the 3rd room on the 2nd floor. I show her proof and everything and she gives me my keys.

We go up to my apartment room and my eyes go wide. I really hit the jackpot on this one because it was huge and it was beautiful. My mothers eyes went huge as well.

It's about 10 now and we have to wait 2 more hours till the luggage gets here. During that time I decide to look around and chat with my mom about everything.

She seems very excited for me and I'm glad because I'm excited that I've gotten this far with something that I love to do and that I'm going to get paid for it.

Finally our luggage gets here and there are two guys with everything and they even said that they would put everything together and that made me feel a lot better because I'm not very good at putting stuff together.

After 3 hours we were done and I was starving. I had given the men their money and they left. Me and my mom decided to go to a cafe nearby to eat because we were starving. On the way there, there were girls surrounded by someone screaming and shouting a boys name Shawn.

I was very confused so I got closer and realized it was Shawn Mendes a singer from Vine. I had heard some of his songs and he's a pretty good singer. But me and my mother just went into the cafe because our ears had hurt from those girls.

All of a sudden I saw Shawn trying to come into the cafe but he kept on being pulled back. I decided to help him so I got up, opened the door, quickly pulled him in, and locked the door so the girls wouldn't get in.

"Man they are crazy out there" I say giggling a bit.

"Yeah I should have listened to my manager when he said don't go outside alone" he says giggling as well. He then asks, "Do you want anything? My treat for you helping me not get hurt out there."

I think about it and say, "Sure. I'm actually here with my mom but she actually should leave now because her flight starts boarding in an hour and a half and it's going to take a while to do everything so could you give me a second just to say goodbye and that she needs to go?"

"Of course go ahead" Shawn says,

I walk over to my mom and say, "Hey your flight starts boarding in an hour and a half so you should hurry to the airport and I hate saying that because I wish you could stay longer but when I have time I will come visit you I promise."

My mom looks at her phone to see the time and she immediately stands up and hugs me, "Oh I really should get going. I love you so much and yes, visit whenever you have time or want to. Love you dear I'll call you when I'm off the plane."

She leaves the cafe and I lock the door right after she leaves because there is a still like 100 girls out there screaming for Shawn to come out. Shawn chuckles as a girl puts her face on the door and screams I love you. He just waves at her and she screams.

We sit down at a table and eat and we laugh while we watch the girls trample each other and scream for Shawn to come out. While we do that we chat and get to know each other.

I tell him why I'm here and as I talked I watched as he listened carefully. He would nod his head sometimes or even just smile at me. When he would smile I would stop talking and chuckle and say, "What?"

He would just say, "It's nothing" and chuckle along with me. I would continue speaking and that situation has happened a few times. Once I was done talking he told me why he was here.

He was here for a concert but he was staying here for the week cause he had time to stay here before his next concert and then next month he would be coming back to collaborate with many other singers. As he spoke I had felt this connection with him that I had never felt before.

All of a sudden I started smiling. Maybe that's why Shawn was smiling.

Maybe he had felt the connection too.
