I Found You | Shawn Mendes

Twenty One

"I'm pro at this game" Grayson said confidentially, before returning his focus back to the tv screen.

Ethan and I were watching him play Grand Theft Auto 5 in the tour bus, and it was surprisingly very amusing.

Our next city is San Diego, and to be honest, I'm the opposite of excited.

A lot of fans have been giving me a hard time about the last show. I don't wanna disappoint them again. But more importantly, I don't want to be on stage with Shawn.

I haven't talked to Shawn since the fight. He hasn't tried to communicate with me either. The closest thing to communication between us is eye contact, and it's always accidental.

It's so awkward seeing him and not talking to him. He's almost always with Maggie.

I don't even know if we're still dating. Neither of us have broken it off, but what kind of boyfriend and girlfriend completely ignore and avoid each other?

I'm gonna wait a few days and then I'll decide what's gonna happen between us. The twins are trying to think of a way to expose Maggie, but that probably won't happen. She's a really good actor, I have to give her that.

Just as I was thinking this, Shawn and Maggie walked into the bus laughing. As soon as they saw us, they stopped and became silent.

They sat on the couches behind us and started up their conversation again.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Ethan looking over at me every once in a while. I'm guessing he wanted to see my reaction to the conversation that they're having.

Honestly, if Shawn wants to fall under Maggie's trap, then good for him. But he can thank me when it bites him in the ass.

Soon enough, Andrew and the rest of the crew climbed onto the bus, and we began driving to San Diego.

"Hey Brin.. Why don't you ask Andrew about your performance idea?" Ethan whispered. I knew what he meant, and nodded.

"Andrew, can we talk?" I asked, and he followed me to my bunk.

"What is it kiddo?"

The whole crew except for Shawn has forgiven me. Andrew has actually been checking on me quite frequently to make sure I'm doing okay.

"Well, you obviously know that Shawn and I aren't on good terms."

He nodded and signalled for me to continue.

"I don't want to ruin the upcoming shows by bringing an awkward vibe onto the stage. So I was thinking.. Maybe Shawn and I could perform separately? There's fans there for both of us, so it would still be entertaining."

Andrew was 100% cool with the idea. "I was actually gonna suggest something like that. But just until you guys make up."

I looked down at the floor. "That's if we make up."

Andrew grabbed onto my shoulder. "Brinley, I've known Shawn for a long time. There's no way he'll hold a grudge against you for something like this. He just feels bad for Maggie right now, but he'll get over it."

I nodded my head slowly. "Andrew.. Do you believe what I said about Maggie?"

I saw him hesitate for a second. "Trust me Brinley, I want to believe you. But I need proof before I can do so. I hired her to be a part of this crew, but if you find evidence that she's trying to interfere with the main performers, she's gone. But as of right now, Shawn just thinks she's being friendly."

I nodded understandingly. The twins and I NEED to find the proof. And fast.

We both walked out of my bunk to where Shawn and Maggie were sitting.
