How could I do the show like this?

"Rosalie calm down." Theresa crouches down in front of me. "You used waterproof mascara?"

"That's all I use now." I try to rub my eyes.

"Stop." She grabs my hands and turns to Jack J.

"Jack Johnson hurry up and get me a paper towel." He hands her one and she dabs around, making it look clean again. 

"Now go get em." Tori grabs my arm and smiles.

"Thanks." I sob and walk to the curtain next to Shawn.

"I saw." He turns and hugs me.

"Thank you." I smile and blink rapidly.

Taylor and Cam run through the curtains, laughing. Cam's smile falters when he sees my face.

"Come on." Shawn grabs my hand and pulls me through.

The crowd screams and raises poster boards and signs higher. I honestly think this is one of the bigger crowds we have had so far.

"Hey guys. We are going to be singing one at a time this time. I'd like you all to get ready to hear Rosalie Price!" I look at Shawn, shocked at the new information I was just given. "You can do it." He whispers in my ear. I nod and tell Ted the song.

~~Should've Been Us by Tori Kelly~~ (she's so amazing)

Walking round with my head down
But I can't hide with these high heels on
Downtown in a thick crowd
But it's just you that my mind is on
Dressed up, got my heart messed up
You got yours and I got mine
It's unfair that I still care
And I wonder where you are tonight

Thinking it could be different
But maybe we missed it yea
Thinking it could be different
It could, it could

It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm
It should've been us
Coulda been the real thing, now we'll never know for sure, ooh
We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know
It should've been us, us
It, it, it should've been us

Back and forth like a tug of war
What's it all for, do I want it back
I still got a little flame for ya
Even though you drove me mad
Now and then, I pretend
That it's you when I close my eyes
You got yours, I got mine
But I wonder where you are tonight

It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm
It should've been us
Coulda been the real thing, now we'll never know for sure, ooh
We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know
It should've been us, us
It, it, it should've been us

Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
It, it, it should've been us

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Thinking it could be different
But maybe we missed it
Thinking it could be different
It could, it could

It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm
It should've been us
Coulda been the real thing, now we'll never know for sure, ooh
We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know
It should've been us, us
It, it, it should've been us

Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
It, it, it should've been us

Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh
You know it should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
It, it, it should've been us

I take a deep breath and smile at the fans who are actually cheering for me. I'm not used to this much support. 

"Thanks! Now listen to the fantabulous Shawn Mendes!" I hand him my mic and sit on his stool where he was while I sang.

"You did perfect." He smiles back at me and sings 'One of Those Nights'.

We walk back into the room and grab bottles of water.
