The Weight ↠ s.m [1]

26

Shawn Mendes

It's been a month since my album released. It made it to number one on the charts and I've never been so thankful for this.

Today was going to be the first time I'll be performing some of the songs live. I was excited but I was also nervous. I'm going to be singing The Weight and I'm worried I'll stop in the middle of the song.

I was in front of the crowd. I saw Cameron, Nash. Aaron, Mahogany and Camila in the front giving me a thumbs up. I gave them a small smile and began to play the first song.

Stitches

I've preformed this song before but the song made me think of Valerie a lot. I wrote this before what went down with her and still every word in the song mostly describes how I feel.

Once I finished the song I smiled at the crowd for the amount of cheers they gave me. This was the main reason why I kept doing what I was doing it wasn't her it was the fans.

I sighed and began to start the next song kid in love I wrote this about Valerie when I was in Florida. I hated that I did. But it's a good song, everyone liked it so why not?

It was time to sing the last song. The Weight I was very nervous I actually began to sweat. Plus it's very hot in here so it made it worse. I took a deep breath and let it out. Okay I can do this.

"Uh this song is song I wrote..many of you asked if it was about someone and..I just want to be honest with you and say yes it yes. So here's my last song The Weight"

I began to strum the guitar and then the words flowed right out of me. Each word making me thinking about the events that happened. It broke my heart piece by piece. I looked into the crowd to see fans singing along and some looking at me with sympathy.

I then spot a familiar face in the third row. It was Valerie. It felt as if my heart broke again. Looking at her made me angry and upset. I then looked at her and began to sing the words a little louder. Every ounce of my feelings was coming out right there.

Her smile faded and I could've sworn I saw a few tears coming down her face.

She should feel like this. She hurt me. She deserves this.

I sung the last line and the crowd cheered louder if that was even possible I smiled and waved. I walked off stage and saw the guys waiting for me in the back. "Hey man great job" Nash said as he pulled me in for a small hug. "Thanks" I responded. Everyone else's told me how great I did and I responded with a simple thanks.

"Shawn" Camila said. I looked at her and she pointed behind me. I looked at the rest and they had wide eyes. I turned around seeing Valerie and Chad.

"Hi Shawn" she said. I gave a small smile and looked at the ground not making eye contact. "Hey dude, you did a good job out there"

"Thanks" I muttered.

"Can we talk to you in pri---"

"No" I cut him off. "Shawn come on plea---"

"I said no, now we have to go bye" I said this time cutting Valerie off and walked away. I couldn't stand being near them. "Shawn" I heard my name being called multiple times but I kept ignoring them. I quickly grabbed my stuff in my dressing room and quickly went to the bus.

I felt like crying. You know the feeling when you're so angry that you end up crying. That what I was feeling.

"Shawn.." I heard, I looked over seeing Camila, Mahogany, Nash and Cam come in. "Why'd you do that?" Nash asked. "I couldn't be there..especially with them" I responded. "You have to talk them Shawn, they're here to make things right"

"I don't care" I said not making eye contact. "Well you should cause they're right outside" Mahogany adds. I shot up and glared at them "why would you----"

"Shawn go talk to them" Camila said pulling me up. I sighed a walked out of the bus. I looked to my right and saw them there. "Shawn..hi" Valerie said with a small smile. "Valerie....Chad" I said as I sat on the steps to the bus.

"So can we talk?" She asked. "Talk I'm here listening" I said rolling my eyes. "Hey quit the attitude Shawn" Chad said. "Or what?"

"I'll----"

"Chad please be quiet..." Valerie said. He sighs and steps back. "We're here to apologize"

"Yeah okay I'm done" I said getting up "Shawn im trying to talk to you!" She shouts. "Stop trying! I don't want to hear your apologies I'm done with the both of you. I don't know why you guys came all this way. It was pointless."

"What are you saying?"

"I don't want to see you two ever again."
