I Don't Even Know Your Name

Finally

*Ruth's POV*

*8 months later*

Finally, the day has come. The day where I get to meet Shawn. I had been imagining what this day was going to be like for as long as I could remember.

I popped out of bed around 9:00 A.M. I took a shower, then threw on some sweat pants and a t-shirt. I decided I was going to change into what I was going to wear to the concert later. I scrunched my hair, and I put on mascara and eye liner. By this time, it was around 11 A.M and I didn't have to be at the be at the venue until 3 P.M. So, I went to get some food.

"Are you excited for the the concert tonight?" My Dad asked, walking into the kitchen. He stood next to the wooden dining table where I sat, eating my sandwich.

"YES!" I exclaimed, looking at him.

"Well I'm glad to hear that! Now, I know that you could only afford one meet and greet ticket, so we decided to get you a little surprise." My Dad said, smiling.

"What?!" I asked excitedly.

"We paid for another meet and greet ticket so Leigh could go with you!" He smiled.

"Really?! Oh my gosh Dad, thank you so much! Now I don't have to go by myself!" I said, jumping up and hugging him tightly.

"You're welcome Ruthy. Leigh will be coming by around 2:00 P.M, so make sure you're ready by then." He said.

"Okay!" I exclaimed.

After I finished eating, I went back to my room and tweeted a Shawn about the concert.

"I can't wait to meet you and see you perform tonight ShawnMendes. Love you oodles and oodles." I wrote.

After I did that, I spent the rest of my free time watching videos of Shawn on YouTube. I know I'm pathetic, but he was the only thing on my mind.

Around 1:45 I changed into my outfit for the concert. I put on my Mendes 98 shirt with my blue and red flannel, and black leggings with white converse. When I was done, I went to watch for Leigh out of the window in our kitchen. Sure enough, Leigh's Grandma was pulling into our driveway to drop her off. I quickly ran downstairs to open the door and greet her.

"Ruthyyyyyy!" Leigh said, as I opened the door.

"Hey girl! It's so good to see you!" I spoke, giving her a welcoming hug.

We both went upstairs, so I could grab our tickets and anything else we needed, then we headed back out the door.

"Have fun girls!" My Mom yelled as we walked out.

"We will, I'll text you when we're there!"

Leigh and I got in the car, and headed to the concert. The entire way there, we blasted Shawn's music, and Leigh actually seemed to be enjoying it this time. I think that Shawn was growing on her. When Mercy came on, Leigh and I both sang the lyrics together.

"Baby please have mercy on me! Take it easy on my heart, even though you don't mean to hurt me, you keep tearing me apart!" Once the bridge came, I started singing it with a harmony, "Consuming all the air inside my lungs, rippin' all the skin from off my bones, I'm prepared to sacrifice my life I would gladly do it twice!" I always loved finding interesting harmonies while listening to any kind of music. It made it so much fun, and it was almost like a puzzle.

"Ruth stop singing so well, you make me sound like shit." Leigh giggled.

"Haha, I'm sorry! I love singing the harmony!" I explained.

"I know, I'm just giving you a hard time." Leigh giggled again.

Once we pulled up to the venue, we parked, and headed inside to get in line for the meet and greet. We were going to have to wait for about two hours because the line was so long. Unfortunately, we were the last ones in line, but I guess it's a good thing cause he'll remember us.
