<<and if you put your ear on doors, they say, you might regret it >>

Suddenly, I feel the urge to search the toilets again.
I don't know what I should do – leave the party and talk to Shawn when we're both home?
Leave Canada? – Should I search him and Andrew and confront them both at the same time?
Should I try it with some subtile questions? (I know: there's nothing subtile in "did you lie to me or use me in any way for your musicial ambitions?!")

I leave the room with the dancing people and pass some corridors. They're more or less filled with guests, and the music's getting a bit more quiet.
Then I get to a corner where I need to go left if I want to visit the toilets. To the right, there's another corridor that leads to some bureaus if I remember it right. I hold on for a second - and I hear some tensely voices.

I've never intended to spy on Shawn. I really didn't want to – I've never thought that I was the kind of girl that would follow her boyfriend instead of asking directly.

But when I reach that corner, and when I hear that tensely voices, I stop in my tracks cause I hear my name spoken out clearly.

[Transcript of the conversation I'm hearing.]

Shawn: She's trying to get in between Mandy and me.

Andrew: How?

Shawn: What if she's telling her (Hushes)

Andrew: What? You mean the whole songwriting-thing? Or do you think, she's gonna write another bad fanfiction?

Shawn: I mean the songwriting. She was really hurt, Andrew. (rubs his fore-head.) I really thought that it would be the best to tell her the truth – that it would break her heart less.

Andrew: Knowing, that you never were really interested in her?

Shawn: Yeah. Guess so.

Andrew: Look Shawn. We've talked so many times about that. The plan...

Shawn: She was never a plan!

Andrew: Chill, Shawn. I know that you don't want to admit it, but it worked out, didn't it?

Shawn: When Mandy's finding out ...

Andrew: Then she's gonna understand.

(Shawn's keeping silent.)

Andrew: Shawn, don't be dumb. There's no need for her to know. Your relationship is working well, isn't it?

Shawn: But that's the point! It's working well, and I want it to do so in the future!

Andrew: I know, I know. But there is no need for her to know why you flirted with her in the beginning. It did all work out, didn't it? You both are totally fine right now.

Shawn: I just have the feeling, that something is gonna get inbetween us. Amy. – Or the press. – Or even the fans. They can be very ... – I don't know. Just something. It's gonna ruin...

Andrew: Nobody's gonna ruin this, Shawn. Just chillax a bit. Take a deep breath.

Shawn: If she ever find's out...

Andrew: She's not gonna.

(Shawn: keeps silent)
