You're Mine - Shawn Mendes

Is This Real?

**In this chapter, I say a little something about Justin Bieber. If you like him, I want you to know that I am not trying to be mean and throw hate against him. I think that he is a good singer and makes good music. I'm just not 100% sure he is a very good role model for young people like us (I assume you are all younger than him. If not, it doesn't really make a difference whether your age is younger or older than his)

"And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches." Shawn said, ending his final song. The concert had been amazing. Shawn sang so well and he was so kind when people screamed "I LOVE YOU" in his face. He would return the comment back to them.

"Thank you guys so much! I wouldn't be here without you! Love you all!" Shawn screamed at the crowd. As he walked away, all Jess could hear was a cacophony of fans screaming his name. Before completely exiting the stage, Shawn turned around and looked at her. Then he quickly turned back and ran off stage. No one but her seemed to notice.

Tears streamed down her face. Jess had had the best day ever, meeting Shawn then seeing him preform. Her heart hammered against her chest full of young love.

"So, did you like it?" her mom asked.

"Uh, DUH! It was the BEST day ever! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU!!!!" Jess said enthusiastically. 

The duo was about the leave their seats when a man came over saying "Ma'm, ma'm can you please come over here!" He pointed at Jess. No one had ever called her ma'm before. He wore a headset and had a small walkie-talkie hooked to his belt. A back stage worker. Jess walked towards him.

"Ma'm, what is your name?" he asked her.

"Uh..." Jess looked at her mom. She wasn't sure what to say, "My name is Jess. Why?"

"Just wanted to make sure you were the one. Mr. Mendes has requested that you come backstage with me." Jess stared at the man blankly.

"Mr. Mendes? Manuel, you mean? Manuel Mendes wants to see me?" she said, confused.

"No, the other Mr. Mendes." the man replied. Jess was still confused. "Shawn!" the man practically yelled at her.

"OOOOHHHHHHHH! Wait WHAT?! Shawn wants to see ME?!!!!" Jess said, shocked. Shawn Mendes wanted to see her. He wanted to see her personally, one on one. Just them. No money had to be paid, no lines had to be waited on. Jess would just go to him.

"Yes, you. Come along now. We don't have forever." he said walking towards the corner of the theater, motioning her to follow. Jess followed him and her mother trailed behind from a distance. 

In the corner was a small door with no knob. Instead, there was a scanner. The man pulled out his ID card and held it up against the machine. The red light on it turned green and the door popped open. He held it for her, as Jess and her mother walked in. Shutting it behind him, he hurried in front of them.  He walked at a fast pace and Jess had to run to keep up.

All around them were different people and props, some of Shawn's and others belonging to the theater. They glanced up at her, but made no means to stop her from continuing to enter. After a few minutes, the walked up to a small hallway with only a few doors. In front of the passageway was Shawn's body guard, John, a bulky and tall man. His muscles were the size of Jess's head. He let Jess and the man pass by, but blocked her mom from entering. 

"Shawn never asked to see you. You may not enter. It is just for his safety. Don't take it personally." John said to her mom.

"But my daughter is going in there! I am not letting her enter a room with strangers, alone!" Jess's mother replied harshly.
