Paper Airplane [s.m]

Thirty-Seven

I take my seat and look around the stadium at the few girls that are entering now. The first people I see are the group of five girls that were outside. They keep looking at the paper in their hands and then at the seats.

One girl with pink hair starts to get excited as they walk further towards the stage. They probably got really good seats. They end up sitting in the row in front of me. I don't say anything but they notice me pretty quickly.

"Oh my god! Twice in one day!" The blonde exclaims.

"Now we can meet when I'm not crying." A girl laughs at herself. I smile.

"You guys are so awesome, how long did you wait outside?" I ask them.

"We arrived at 3am so a really long time I guess. We drove 10 hours to see him in concert." The small blonde explains.

"Wow." My eyes widen. That's a really long time to drive and then sit in the cold for an entire day. I don't think that even I would do that for Shawn.

We talk for a while until the lights shut off and music starts playing. Screams erupt from the crowd and I stand with a stupid smile on my face. You can hear Shawn's voice but you can't see him. He's talking about how he got to where he is today and how grateful he is to have people that support him.

Suddenly the lights click on and the screams get 10x louder. How do they have voices after screaming this much? He starts to sing and I watch with a smile on my face.

After the concert, I have to wait until people leave so I can go backstage. Of course I have permission any time during or after the show but I don't want fans getting suspicious and following me back there.

There's only about 10-15 girls still in the stadium when I go through the huge metal doors. I walk down a few hallways until I'm in Shawn's dressing room.

When I enter the room, Shawn is being congratulated by lots of staff from the tour team. I stand back and let them talk for a while before he notices me. He's a little bit sweaty so I don't try to hug him.

"Hi." He smiles and hugs me anyways.

"Hey." I say as he releases me.

We leave the stadium after hours of waiting. I think there was supposed to be an after party but the crew was too tired to set everything up after the big show.

"Shawn! Shawn! Shawn!" I hear chanting outside the window of the dressing room and I go towards the window. They are all looking down towards the doors. There's a lot of people out there.

The are lining both sides of the street and occasionally singing Shawn's songs.

"Can I open the window?" I ask Shawn. He joins me at the window and nods. We are on the second level so they can't attack us or anything.

I pull up the blinds completely and that gets people's attention. I grab the bottom of the window and try pulling up but it doesn't budge. Loud scream erupt from the crowd as they see us at the window.

(AN: if anyone was at the Radio City Music Hall concert on March 6, this happened after the show. It was cold and miserable but we say Shawn and Camila at the window right above our heads!)

Shawn puts his hands on the glass and pushes up, trying to help me but it doesn't work. We give up eventually and just wave at everyone.

We here a loud sigh from behind us and suddenly a hand pulls the blinds shut. Shawn glares as he turns toward who did it. I get pissed when I see it's a member of the crew.

"Why'd you do that?" Shawn asks angrily.

"We're trying to get them to leave, you can't give them what they want." He rolls his eyes.
