Tris's POV

"Alright people! Show time!"

I hear music blast and Cam runs on stage, girls screaming and cheering.

Then Nash runs out, followed by the rest of the guys. My stomach does a flip realizing that it's mine and Shawn's turn to go on stage.

"It's okay Tris, I'll be right with you the whole time" Shawn grabs my hand and sends me a a warm, comforting smile.

"Let's do this" I say and we run on the stage. The sound of girls screaming like they are being murdered, hurts my ears.

"WE LOVE YOU GUYS" I hear one person scream.

"HEY NEW YORK! Thanks for coming out tonight guys! How's everyone?" Cam shouts into the microphone causing the girls to scream even louder.

"Alright guys! Tonight we want to thank you all for everything" Nash starts.

"Yes because without you all, none of us would be here today" Jack G says then hands the microphone to Jack J.

"And as much as we've been through to get here, we appreciate all of your support" he says.

I was standing beside of him. He hands the mic to me. I get this feeling in my stomach and my hand wraps tightly around the microphone.

Not knowing what to say, I freeze. The crowd drops silent, you could probably hear a pen drop.

Then I feel warmth around my free hand and he gives it a squeeze. Instantly knowing it was Shawn I feel at eeze and figure out something to say.

"Even thought we are scared and nervous about what the future holds for us, being here, in this moment, is the closest thing to a dream I can get and I wouldn't imagine being anywhere else right now" I say and smile then hand the mic to Shawn.

"So with that being said, who's ready for a show?" He yells and the girls scream in response.

***

We were playing truth or dare now. I was seated beside of Shawn and Matt. The fans would give us truth or dares to whoever they wanted and we would pick which one.

It's Shawn's turn now.

He picks up the microphone and looks into the sea of girls who all of their hands up, hoping they will get called.

He scans the room and finally chooses, "You! In the blue and white shirt! What's your name?" He points to a brunette girl.

Someone hands her a microphone and she smiles happily into it, "H-hi, my name is Annabelle and I'm a huge fan! I love you!" She says, kindly.

"Thanks Annabelle, I love you too! Now, do you have a truth, or a dare for me?" Shawn asks.

"I have a," she pauses to think for a moment, "dare" she completes.

"Which is?" Shawn questions.

"I dare you, to tell everyone who you have a crush on" she squeals.

"To easy, but, I will not hold back" he says. I don't look at him, but I can feel his gaze burning in the back of my head.

"Well, go on with it" Aaron tells him. "Alright, alright. Give me one second guys" Shawn gets up from his seat and goes backstage.

After a minute, he emerges with his guitar. Jack J moves a chair to the center of the stage and puts a microphone in front of it.

Shawn takes a seat in the chair.

"Now, why tell it, when I can sing it" he smiles.

Everyone screams but I just sit there, not knowing weather it's about me or not.

Probably not.

He starts to sing 'What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction, my favorite song.

This can't be about me though... can it?

He finishes singing the song and stands up.

"Okay so that technically didn't say who my crush was. Well, let me tell you. My crush is one of my closet friends. She's been with me through thick and thin and even though we just met months ago, I feel like I've known her forever. She makes me happy when I see her. Her smile will light up the whole room. Her laugh is the cutest thing I have ever heard and I'm not sure what I would do without her"

Instantly my stomach turns, I know he's talking about me. I didn't know he felt that way though.

I smile as he turns around and looks at me. "She's also in this room right now and I wouldn't be here without her." He smiles at me causing my face to turn a light shade of pink.

I see Matt and Aaron stand up and go backstage.

"Tris Parker, I love you. Bumping into you at that coffee shop was the best thing that ever happened to me" he starts walking towards me.

The crowd "awwws"

My head is everywhere and my heart is pounding. When he reaches me he reaches his hands out for me to take.

I grab his hand and stand up. Inches away from him I feel my stomach do flips.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks. Matt and Aaron come from backstage holding a big teddy bear and flowers.

I stare directly into Shawn's adorable brown eyes and it feels like it's just us two in the room. Our hands intertwined just feels right. I never thought this day would come.

I smile, "Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, I would love to be your girlfriend" I say.

The crowd screams but I can't hear them. I just see Shawn, smiling. He's mine.

Without thinking I crash my lips into his and we kiss for what feels like the first time.

It feels perfect. I can finally call him mine.

Shawn's POV

"Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, I would love to be your girlfriend" she says.

She said yes. I can't believe it. I smile and the crowd screams but it just feels as if it's just Tris and I in the room.

I just see her smiling, she's mine.

Then she crashed her lips into mine and sparks fly.

It's perfect. I can finally call her mine.
