I Found You | Shawn Mendes

Twenty Four

I stood in front of my bed in the tour bus, packing the last of my things before leaving for the airport.

I'm excited to see my family, but my mom and I haven't been on good terms lately. I miss the relationship we used to have, but ever since she left my dad and then Noah and I left her, she has been miserable. I don't blame her at all but I wish she trusted me to be on my own without her or Noah.

Once I finished packing, I zipped up my suitcase and lifted it off the bed. I walked out into the main part of the tour bus, and realized there was nobody there.

Everyone is going home for their week vacation, and almost everyone has already boarded for their flight.

I got out of the bus and jumped into the über that was waiting for me.

"Hello." I greeted the uber driver.

"Hello- oh my god. You're Brinley Sanders! My daughter Lindsey loves you!" The woman, who looked about mid 40's, announced excitedly and surprised.

"Awe, that's so sweet!"

She started digging through her purse, before pulling out her iPhone 5.

"Could you possibly take a video on my phone saying hi to her? She'd be so happy."

I nodded my head while saying "of course!"

She handed me her phone, and I started taking the video.

"Hey Lindsey! I just wanted to say thank you for being a supporter, and I hope I get to meet you someday! Love you lots." And then I stopped recording.

Her mom had a huge smile on her face. "Thank you so much, she'll be forever grateful."

We began driving to the airport.

I have arrived at my terminal, and now I'm patiently waiting for my flight to start boarding.

I sat down on one of the many chairs, and scrolled through Twitter on my phone.

After around 10 minutes, I saw someone that was standing about 5 meters away staring at me in the corner of my eye.

I didn't want to make eye contact, but he wouldn't look away.

Eventually I got annoyed and turned my head to look at him.

When I realized who it was, I was confused but laughed to myself. I couldn't make out who it was from the corner of my eye, but the whole time it was just Shawn staring at me.

His flight to Toronto boarded three hours ago, why is he still here?

I stood up and walked over to him.

He put his arms out to signal for me to walk into them.

I wrapped my arms around his back and placed my head against his shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" I asked confused, and he pulled away so that we were face to face.

"Welllll, turns out I'm coming to LA with you." He smiled and grabbed onto my hands.

"What? No, Shawn you need to see your family. That isn't fair to you or to them."

He laughed before saying "Get this, Aaliyah and my parents have been wanting to go back to California for a long time now. Once I told them the situation, they said we should all go together. Obviously you've met my dad, but my mom and sister would love to meet you! And everyone is psyched to meet your family."

I started jumping up and down out of excitement before tackling him in a hug.

"Oh my god! I can't wait to meet them, and I can't wait for you to meet my mom!"

He pushed his lips into mine, and I slowly felt his lips curl into a smile while continuing to kiss me.

"This is gonna be an amazing trip."

We have landed in LA, and are waiting for Noah to pick us up.

Soon enough, I saw his car pull into the parking lot, and him step out of the drivers side.

I ran over to him and jumped in his arms. My legs wrapped around his waist.

"I missed you so much" is the first and only thing I said.

"I missed you more."

Shawn walked up after I released the hug, and held out his hand.

"I don't think we've properly met before, I'm Shawn." He said with an adorable smile on his face.

"Trust me, I know. Brinley definitely used to be your biggest fan, no doubt about it." Noah laughed and shook his hand. "But I'm Noah, it's nice to meet you."

I remembered that Noah didn't know Shawn was coming.

"Shawn and his family all decided to come to LA, so that's why plans changed."

Noah smiled between both of us. "Oh, well I'm glad you're here bud." He playfully messed up Shawn's hair and we all laughed.

We sat in the car, and left for my moms house.

We're almost there, and I'm starting to get a bit nervous. I really hope our families like each other.

"I love this city." Shawn whispered, scanning the city out of the window. He grabbed onto my hand and kissed it.

"Wow, one time we're together in LA when I'm a die hard fangirl, and next we're a couple. We have a pretty amazing love story." I looked into his gorgeous eyes and took in all his features.

"You've got that right." He replied smiling before pushing his lips against mine softly.
