Chapter 10 Shawn's POV:
"So this is where the magic takes place huh?" Bella said as we walked backstage.
"This isn't magic. This is a dream that came to a reality." I explained.
"Alright wait here." I walked into my dressing room to get ready. You know it was fun and all until I had to kill the moment and go on stage. Seriously though, I didn't mind singing at all, it was the fact I had to cut something off for her. When I first came down here I didn't realize I was going to meet anyone in particular. Like Bella? Like I said before she's different, and I know there's more to her than what she is showing right now.
"Alright you're all good Shawn. Good luck." I looked at my hairstylist as she finished. 
I usually have my hair In a certain way, I try to tell her I can handle it, but she always insisted so why not. I walked out looking at people running around back here doing different stuff. It's crazy to believe they are doing this for me I couldn't be more thankful.
"Electric or acoustic?" Stage manger asked.
"Acoustic to start." He walked away as I walked to Bella as she was peeking her head out to see all the fans.
"Crazy right?"
"Omg. How do you manage all those eyes on you?" I chuckled.
"It doesn't bother me."
"And I mean, there has to be a time where you forget lyrics on stage right?" She questioned.
"Every concert there isn't a song where I don't forget a lyric too. I usually just make it up, and it's cool see how fans know it too." I explained.
"Wow." She looked so stunned. It was pretty hilarious.
"Hey what's this?" She picked up a cord as I looked at it from up to down.
"That is a cord where I plug my guitar into a speaker so it's louder." She put it down.
"See this life style. It's one I got use to quick."
"Would I be able to catch on."
"Nah I don't think so." She smiled as John went behind her and scared her.
"Heeeedyyyyyy Shawn! And who is this little lady you brought with you?" He laughed.
"John this is Bella. And Bella this is John. A good friend of mine."
"He meant to say a best friend of mine, but he stumbled on his words." He shook her hand as I shook my head towards him.
"So she your girlfriend? You guys like a thing now?" He asked.
"She has a boyfriend." I told him. I didn't want to say that but in the end that's true.
"Bummer. You're missing out." He looked at Bella as he patted on my shoulder turned and walked away.
"Don't listen to him." There comes times where I wish I had things my way, but I know that sometimes I just can't.
"Shawn I don't think I should be here." I raised an eye brow up at her.
"What do you mean?"
"I have to go home. Noah doesn't know I'm here and Lucas."
"LUCAS really?"
"Yes. Don't forget I'm with him."
"Right." I looked down.
"Wait Shawn that's not what I-"
"Just go. See you around." I turned and walked away from her and got ready for my concert. I just don't understand. What am I doing wrong. I thought she was having a good time, but I think I killed it for her. I hate being the other guy it sucks.
"Alright Shawn you're on in 3,2,." He pointed at one as I walked out with my guitar and fans began screaming. I smiled thinking wow all of them here for me.
"How we all doing tonight?" Everyone one them yelled at the top of their lungs.
"Good. That's what I like to here." I began to play as it only took me one note before the whole crowd knew what song I was playing.

"You waited so long
Sometimes it's hard to stand out
And you don't have to do anything else
But be yourself, oh
And you, you dressed up so nice
But all I could see was your eyes
And the crowd came and pulled you away
And then you were gone
Oh, yeah. SING IT!"
"CAUSE I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME!" They all sang. I was happy but really frustrated inside. I guess all I can do is take her as a friend and that makes me so confused on why?
