"please, everyone welcome shawn mendes!" ellen said, causing the crowd to roar in applause as they all rose to their feet.

shawn walked out from behind the sliding walls and hugged ellen, sitting down on the small couch next to her chair. he wove to some fans, a smile pulling his pink lips upwards.

"it's good to have you back shawn, the last time you were here was when illuminate was just released and climbing the charts!" ellen said, smiling as a blush tinted shawn's cheeks red.

"yeah," shawn said, "i love coming here."

ellen chuckled, "good, i'm glad."

since he was no longer back stage, i came out from where i was hiding. shawn had finished his tour and with this interview being his last stop before heading back home, he was eager to see his family and i again.

his parents and little sister were unable to fly out to surprise him, but encouraged me to.

he has been on the road for the last four months, which has been his longest tour for a while.

a producer approached me and gestured to follow him. i was going to stand behind the walls and they would open when she started talking about being away from home.

"so, how has your tour overall been?" ellen asked.

"it's been amazing. every venue is so loud and the fans are amazing. they bring so much energy. this has been the longest tour i have done in a while so it is exhausting, but worth it," shawn said.

"that's great, also, is there anything you can say about a future third album?" she asked.

"i can't really say much, but i have started the writing process. there are a few collabs that i am looking forwards to, and it has a totally different vibe from my second album," shawn said, a smile playing on my lips.

ellen nodded, "we are all looking forwards to it."

"thank you," shawn nodded, smiling as he crossed his hands in his lap.

he was so close to me, the closest that he has been to me in the last six months.

it was taking everything in me not to run up to him and tackle him in a hug, but i had to wait just a little longer.

"so," ellen's voice snapped me back to reality, "how about being away from home for so long?"

"it's been a blessing and a curse," he answered immediately, "i miss everyone. i think that since i am going home after this interview, homesickness is just started to kick in. plus my grandmother passed away two months ago, so not being home was hard."

"i bet," ellen said, "i'm sorry for your loss, shawn."

i felt a tap on my shoulder, and i came face-to-face with andrew. i smiled as he pulled me into a hug, "hey andrew!"

"hey, i was told you had arrived. getting excited?" he asked, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"very. he has no idea?"

"none," andrew shook his head, "he's been missing you though, and his family. ever since his grandmother. i honestly have never seen him so upset."

i smiled sadly, "i know, i wanted to fly out and be with him so bad. he had you guys though, i knew he'd have support."

andrew smiled quickly, pointing at the screen that aired the interview. i refocused my gaze on ellen, who was now talking about coming home.

"we heard that you are headed straight to the airport after this so we decided to get you a little something for the flight," she said, the walls cracking open.

i steppes out, approaching him from behind.

"you didn't have to do that," shawn laughed.

"are you sure?" ellen asked, pointing over his shoulder and towards me.

shawn turned and his eyes locked on mine, and he stood up, "oh my god! kayla!" his arms opened, and i ran towards him and into his embrace.

i wrapped my arms around his neck and he spun me around, my feet landing back on the ground. with his arms still around me, "what? what is - what are you doing here? i'm-"

"i wanted to come and surprise you," i laughed into his neck.

he pulled away and took my hands, "i missed you so much, this is amazing." i knew that when he said it, he meant it.

"i missed you too, love," i said, laying my head on his shoulder. he maneuvered his arms back around me again and i smiled, a pure feeling of content washing over me.

"guys!" ellen cut in, "no pda! now, come sit down and introduce me to your girl!" shawn and i pulled apart from each other, and i bit my lip.

shawn continued to hold my hand as he guided me over to the coach. i felt my fade flush hot as ellen pulled me into a hug, before gesturing for us all to sit down.

"how about that?" ellen asked shawn, pointing to me.

"i'm blown away," shawn let out a quick laugh, "i was not expecting this."

i let him pull me against his side, and my arms snakes around his torso. he pressed a quick kiss to my head when ellen chimes in, "y'all are honestly the sweetest thing. has distance ever affected this at all?"

"at first it was tough leaving her," shawn started, "then she came on my four month tour that just passed and ever since, leaving hasn't been so bad. we have had up's and down's, but i definitely don't know what i would do without her."

the crowd awed, and i squeezed his hand.

the interview continued and i watched as he answered all of her questions in detail, showing how proud he really was of his career and how far he has come. the way he talks about his tour experiences and meeting fans is truly enough to give me goosebumps.

when the interview, and ellen hugged us both goodbye, we hurried backstage with our hands still linked together.

andrew approached us, beaming, "how about that for a surprise?"

"unbelievable," shawn laughed, pressing his lips to my temple.

"i love you," i mumbled, standing on my tiptoes and kissing his cheek. he caught my waist with his arm, pulling my frame against his side.

"i love you too, kayla," he smiled, "unbelievably so."
