A Little Too Much | Shawn Mendes (COMPLETED)

41 | If and When

Allie's POV;

We're traveling to Texas today, where Shawn will perform in Austin. He's really excited.

Texas is just as beautiful as Tennessee. I can see the outline of the countryside as we land. Aaliyah and Shawn look just as fascinated as I am.

Once we get everything off the plane and collect our luggage, we make our way out of the airport. I hear the familiar screams of the fans and see a small crowd of them outside the airport entrance. Shawn instinctively pulls Aaliyah and I closer to him and I smile at his protectiveness. "You guys gonna be okay?" He has to yell slightly over the crowd outside and we nod.

As soon as we leave the airport, the fans lunge toward us. Security has to step in and restrain them so we don't get mobbed, but Shawn still takes pictures and signs things for some of them.

"Allie! Can I have a picture?" I hear a girl smile. I give her a small smile and lean in so she can take a picture with me. "Thank you so much! I love you you Shawn together, it's obvious that you really love each other and that you make him happy," the girl says. I grin and feel myself blushing as security ushers us into our car. I wave goodbye to the girl and she grins at me as we pull away.

That's the first time a fan has ever confronted me before. It was strange, but I liked it. They can see that I make Shawn happy, and it makes them happy too. He has amazing fans.

"What're you thinking about?" Shawn asks as our car pulls up to our hotel. I snap out of my thoughts and smile. "Your fans. They're really amazing." Shawn grins. "Yeah, they are."

I look up from my phone as Shawn emerges from the bathroom, dressed in what I'm assuming is a cowboy outfit. My mouth drops and I quickly snap a picture, trying not to laugh.

"Yee haw," I giggle along with Aaliyah and Shawn smirks and rolls his eyes.

"I'm ready to go out onto the stage!" He declares in a horrible southern accent. I just laugh even harder and post the picture of my crazy boyfriend on Instagram.

After I post the photo, we all go to the arena Shawn will be performing at for soundcheck. Once it's time for the concert, Aaliyah and I watch from the side of the stage as Shawn goes on. He's amazing, as always.

"Alright, this next one is really special to me, because of a certain person," Shawn begins, strumming his guitar. "I wrote this song when my career first started taking off, and it was exciting yet scary at the same time. But the girl I met made me take the context of this song so much deeper."

My heart starts to pound and Aaliyah grabs my arm with a smile. Is he talking about me?

"This song is dedicated to my beautiful girlfriend, Allison Peters. Sometimes life just sucks, but when it gets hard, don't give up. You fight through it, and in the end, it'll be okay. It will never be perfect, but we have the ability to look on the bright side, and make it the best we can."

The crowd cheers and I feel a lump rising in my throat. He's literally going to make me cry happy tears. I don't think I've ever cried out of happiness before.

Shawn begins singing A Little Too Much, and my heart aches. It really does apply to my life. It wasn't hard to tell that it majorly sucked before I met Shawn, and I didn't have anyone to talk to my problems about. Then again, before I knew Shawn, I probably wouldn't have wanted to open up to anyone and burden them with my stupid worries. But he taught me that it's okay to be upset sometimes. Because like he said, life isn't perfect. And sometimes it does get to be too much. I'm just glad I have Shawn now, so I don't have to hold everything in like I used to.

Shawn finishes the song and everyone screams and claps and cheers. Shawn grins before he starts talking again.

"Allie, come out here," he shouts over the screaming girls. He nods his head toward the stage and I swear my heart stutters. Aaliyah pushes me and I stumble onto the stage, quickly making my way over to Shawn. He takes my hands and the crowd goes insane. I can't stop smiling while my heart hammers in my chest.

"Allie, I love you to death. And I don't know what the future holds, but if and when the time is right, I want to marry you." My heart stops. I don't know what to do, so I just keep smiling. Everyone awe's as Shawn pulls me into a hug. I pull away and stand on my tip toes to press my lips to his and feel him smile.

"I love you too," I whisper, still semi- shocked about tonight's events. I skip off the stage, still processing what just happened. Shawn just confessed his love to me in front of who knows how many people. And I said it back. I lay down on the couch in the dressing room backstage while Aaliyah grins and squeals about how cute Shawn and I are. Now that I think about it, a future with Shawn wouldn't be all too bad. I actually might want it just as much as he does.

A/N - I should be doing homework or something productive, but instead I procrastinated and wrote this chapter for you! Hehe I hope you enjoy it:) xoxo - Em😊💙
