Did he just say my name? How does he know my name?
"Hurry up, we haven't got all day" the man taking the photo grumbles, looking annoyed
Shawn frowns at him, and then looks back at me, his face softening, and opens his muscular arms so I can hug him, and as much as I want to, I can't. It seems my feet are glued to this one spot, I still can't move.
Shawn runs over to me and hugs me, picking me up and twirling me round, I wrap my arms around him too, burying my head into his collar, engulfed in his scent. He then sets me down and takes my hand, leading me to the spot where we was before, so we could take a photo.
"Hurry up" snaps the camera man again
"just wait okay?" Shawn glares at the man
Shawn gently squeezes my hand, which I've only now realised he is still holding. It's probably all sweaty, oh no.
"What pose do you wanna do?" He smiles, which was enough to make my knees buckle and i would've fallen over if he hadn't have wrapped his arms around me and caught me.
He laughs at me, but not in a cruel way, instead he wraps his arms around me more, rests his chin on the top of my head and we take the photo.
"Next" the guy says, handing me my phone back, which now contains the photo of Shawn and I
I didn't want to go, I wanted this moment to last forever
Shawn grabs my hand again and kisses my cheek, turning my cheeks a deep shade of red, then gives me another hug. I really like Shawns hugs, they make me feel safe, like nobody could ever hurt me.
Somehow, I manage to spit a few words out
"Th-Thankyou" I gulp
"For what?" He smirks at me
I scream internally, what is this boy doing to me?
"I..um..for..uh..being someone i can turn to..and for making me s-smile every d-day" I shakily say
He doesn't say anything, and pulls me into another hug, he whispers something but i don't hear it
He then let's me go, and it's heartbreaking. I feel so empty without Shawns arms around me. I feel lost. He doesn't watch me walk away at first, he just looks at his feet, almost as if he doesn't want me to go too, I look back a few times hoping to get at least one more interaction with him, anything. He looks up one more time, expecting to see me gone, and smiles at me, I smile back.
Then he continues taking photos with other fans,
I see the happy smiles and excitement on their faces and it reminds me of how I felt 1 minute ago.
He's forgotten about me now, like I said, I'm just another girl in the crowd, he most likely does this to every girl he meets at one of these things.
The meet and greet felt like it lasted for 100 years, everything went so slowly, it's like time stopped, but really the whole thing lasted just under a minute, Ryan was right, Shawn did have a lot of girls to meet, and they all deserved to meet him just as much as me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: I just met him
Me: I feel...
Me: actually I don't know what I feel
Me: that was possibly the best and worst experience of my entire life
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I continued walking to the soundcheck, and looking down at my phone as I was texting Ryan at the same time, a few stray tears were still making their way down my red cheeks, I was still feeling incredibly emotional after meeting Shawn.
I wasn't really looking where I was going, and accidentally bumped into some girls, causing one of them to fall over and drop their Shawn poster. Most people wouldn't really care, but not these girls.
"Watch where you're going" the tallest one spat, getting up
"Uh, I'm sorry" I said nervously, desperately wanting to get past.
I tried to walk around them, but they stood around me in a semi circle so I couldn't. They were all taller, and much prettier than I was, it was really intimidating.
"Where do you think you're going?" A girl with really bad dipped dyed hair spoke
"Um-uh, to the soundcheck, please l-let me get past" I stuttered
They all laughed and one of them pushed me, then they all started pushing me, it was shoving match, and I was right in the middle of it. One of them pushed me a little too hard, and I fell on the ground. They all started kicking me, boots, high heels, sneakers came into contact with my face, arms, legs and just about all over my body. Once I started crying they left me alone and walked off, still laughing.
I got up and ran to the bathroom, fortunately, it was empty. I sat in one of the stalls bawling my eyes out, which appeared to be bruised when I looked in the mirror. I felt my phone vibrate
Ryan: haha, I'm so glad you met him :)
Ryan: what happened? Did you get to kiss him after all?
Ryan: are you at the soundcheck yet? I'm here
Ryan: i heard a girl got beaten up outside the m&g room, that wasn't you was it?
Ryan: I'm really worried now, please answer Chloe :(
Me: it was me
Ryan: WHAT? where are you? Who hurt you?? Are you okay?
Me: I bumped into these girls and they attacked me
Me: I'm in the bathroom, sitting in one of the stalls. My face is bruised, and I'm really scared
Me: I can't go to the soundcheck or the concert, what if Shawn sees me like this, or what if those girls see me again, I think I'm just gonna go home, I can't go in there
Me: nothing ever turns out right for me
Me: I'm really sorry we didn't get to meet, I -
I stopped typing, as I heard the bathroom door open
"Chloe? Are you in here?" a familiar voice spoke, was it Ryan?
I coughed lightly, to let the stranger know that I was in here
"Oh my god, I've been looking for you everywhere" the voice spoke, standing outside the stall. I could see two black sneakers peep out from underneath the door. "Please come out"
I wiped my eyes and opened the door, not really expecting to see Shawn Mendes
