Chapter 2: "Hi"

Chapter 2: "Hi"

*This chapter jumps forward to two days before the tour starts, and it takes place during rehearsals in Los Angeles CA😋 *the pic above is the theater where Shawn will be playing*

---------------------------
While Walking backstage I couldn't help but smile as I was about to upload a picture of the LA venue I'll be preforming on but not before typing and reading a loud my caption "I'm two days away from starting this unbelievable tour and I--" before I could finish my sentence my body went crashing into something or should I say someone.

"Ouch, shit that hurt. I really need to pay attention to where Im going, first the stairs now this." She said as she wiped off the dirt she collected  from falling on the ground. I hadn't had the chance to look up but when I did it was like I was in stuck a trance. All of my attention was on her and I couldn't control myself, it felt as if I couldn't move. It was like gravity was forcibly holding me down to the ground so that I would stay there next to her.

After watching her wipe off most of the dirt she looked at me and said "I'm so sorry are you okay?" She asked with a worried expression on her face. 'Gosh she's beautiful' I thought to myself

"Hey please answer me. " she demanded but in the cutest was possible as she moved slightly closer to me as if she was trying to examine me. I sat there completely fazed by her not moving and not saying a single word as I just stared at her with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth.

"Please answer me... Please tell me I didn't hurt you in any way? I would feel so bad if I hurt anyone especially if it was because of me--

I blinked a few times as she started rambling about me being okay which I was, not one part of me was hurting. In Fact everything had felt perfect. I breathed in and out a couple of times before interrupting her " I'm okay" I say looking directly into her eyes she tilted her head slightly to the side

"He can speak" she said in a relieved tone. "gosh I thought I hurt you! Look you can't do that you can't just sit there for what seemed like forever and just stare at me without saying a single word or showing a sign that your okay... Okay!?".

The face she made was probably the most beautiful thing ive ever seen it was as if she genuinely cared and if she had known me for a life time and was extremely worried about me.

"Okay" I responded with a bright smile on my face as I was still captivated by her. Idk why but for some reason I was surprised when she smiled back which resulted in me smiling wider and her tilting her head to the side again. 'I like when she she does that' I thought to myself

Realizing that we were still on the floor I got up quickly and offered my hand to her so that she could stand up as well.

"Thank you, I thought we were going to sit on the floor forever. I mean not that I would mind or anything but it's dirty and I would rather stay clean" she said as she starred dusting more dirt off of her jeans. I couldn't help but stare at her my eyes seemed to be glued to her. A few more seconds passed before she looked back up at me with a sorry expression on her face

" I'm sorry, you would think that someone who plays as many sports as I do would be able to walk without bumping in to something. Or in our case someone!" She lightly chuckled while looking down at her shoes and running her hands through her curly hair. Looking at her swaying while she looked down at her shoes I said something.

"It's okay" I responded " accidents happen and it was probably more my fault then yours. Are you okay?" With that question she looked up and smiled brightly before humming "Mhm".

Before I got the chance to say something else to her I heard a familiar voice calling what I assume to be her name since he was coming in our direction and she had turned her and smiled when she sees him. 'Great another on of his hook-ups' I thought

"Moni" Aaron yelled out multiple times

"Moni" I whispered to myself not knowing that I said it loud enough for her to hear.

Turning towards me she said "Well actually it's Monique but everyone who knows me calls me 'Momo' or 'Moni' for short" she said directing her attention back to Aaron who had finally approached us.

"Hey babe, I've missed you so much" he said pulling her into a very tight hug. 'Babe' I thought. I've never heard him refer to one of the many girls he's hooked up with as babe? I shrugged the thought off realizing what she was really here for and directed my attention back to the two in front of me. I felt my stomach twisting at the sight as I was met with them kissing. It's disgusting how he can just hook up with girls like that day after day. Not wanting to look like a creep I started to walk away. I was only about 4 feet away when I heard Aaron call me from behind. When I turned around the first thing I noticed was the smile on Moni's face.

"Aye Shawn, sorry 'bout that dude it's been awhile. Anyways this is Moni, my girlfriend" he said pointing his hand in her direction.

'Girlfriend' I thought I'm 100% sure that she is not the girl I saw him with last night and now all of a sudden he has a 'girlfriend'

" Yea man we met like 5 minutes ago when we bumped into each other" I smiled thinking about the short minutes we had together

"Ha yea, I was kind of in a rush trying to find you and when I turned the corner I ended up running in to him and---".

"Sorry babe can you finish telling me when I come back I really have to take a piss" he said rudely interrupting her.

"Uh...Yea of course, go". The excitement that had filled her voice a few seconds ago was replaced with a little bit of sadness in her tone. After Aaron had walked off Moni and I had stayed in our places directly in front of each other. She was looking around while I was looking at her. After a minute or two she directed her attention towards me and smiled.

"Hi" she said sweetly

"Hi" I said slightly chuckling
