Hazel's P.O.V.

It's been a few hours since Alexa and I got out of school, and we are still talking. Its amazing how fast you can reconcile lost time.

"So Hazel, onto more important business." She starts saying, putting down her Coke on the coffee table.

"Yeah, what's up?" I say, swallowing my water.

"I heard that you have a boyfriend."

I almost choke.

I swallow and say,"How'd you know?"

"Did you forget my favorite TV show?" She says, raising an eyebrow.

Oh. TMZ.

"So you know about-" 

"You and Shawn Mendes? Yep, I do. Not to mention the pictures I saw of him carrying you." She tells me, getting out her phone, and showing me the picture. It was when I first experienced paparazzi and when I had a breakdown. Shawn was so caring to me that day. 

"So basically the whole world knows now?" I ask her.

"Pretty much, Hazel. Surprised that reporters aren't attacking you every time you go out." 

On my mind right now, is: does Shawn know about this? 

"Don't worry, girl. I ship you guys." She tells me giving me a smile.

I give her a small smile back, and continue to drink my water.

*Few minutes later*

"It was great seeing you again, Hazel. See you at school tomorrow." Alexa says, as she goes out the front door. "Yeah, me too." I say giving her her a smile and shutting the door, laying against it.

I look over at my backpack next to my laptop. I check the clock and it's 5:00. Still got a few hours before Shawn calls. I get off the door and sit on the desk, getting my homework out.

I turn on my laptop and when it does, I see a notification on the corner of the screen. 

Call from Shawn Mendes

It's not time yet, but okay.

I click accept, and I see his face appear. He looks sweaty and he's in front of a mirror which has lights around it. He must be in his dressing room still.

"Hey Shawn, I thought th-" I start saying until he cuts me off.

"Are you okay?" He says out of breath. 

"Yeah, why wouldn't I-" 

"Don't lie, Haz" 

"I'm not, Shawn. I'm really okay. What's going on?" I say, starting to get a little concerned about his behavior.

"I'm sorry, hun. Just that I was so worried about how your first day went, and I had this bad feeling throughout the whole concert, and I couldn't wait to talk to you. I was worried that you got hurt, or met a guy an-"

"Shawn, I only have eyes for you. Only you." I say to him.

He smiles but then frowns. 

"I miss you." He says softly.

"I do too." I say, touching the screen, even though he can't feel my touch.

He looks up at the screen, and his eyes look red. I really don't like seeing him like this. I feel a tear trying to fall from my eye.

"Hazel, I love you so much. More than you'll ever know."

"I love you too, Shawn." I say.

He hangs up and I leave the window of the call. I didn't bring up the whole paparazzi thing, because I didn't want to make him feel bad or anything. I hope he's okay.

Shawn's P.O.V.

I hang up, and the second I do, I break down.

I slam the computer on the couch, and I punch the wall multiple times. My knuckles are bleeding, but I leave it alone. I slide down the wall until my face reach my knees.

Why did I ever break up with her in the first place? I know we're back together, but I can't forgive myself. Why did I ever think I wasn't the right guy for her? I hurt myself more than I think Hazel did.

The door opens, and I hear Geoff's voice. He comes next to me and then I hear multiple steps come in. I wanted to be alone.

I scream at everyone to get out, and they all did. 

I cry and cry, until I pass out.

*Next day*

I wake up in my tour bus. Wasn't I in my dressing room?

I sit up, and I put my hands up to my face to wipe my face. My hands hurt. I look at them and I remember that I punched the wall. I look at my knuckles. The blood dried up, and the cuts are open. Great.

I stand up and go to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes are swollen, my hair is everywhere, and I feel lightheaded. 

I turn on the faucet, and I wash my hands. It was painful, not going to lie, but they feel better. I also decide to get in a shower. 

I get out, put on a towel, and head out to find some clothes. I find some in my suitcase and put them on. 

I lay down on the couch, and rest, until I hear a voice. I sit up, and its my mum. "Mum, what are you doing here?" I say, while standing up to give her a hug. 

"Can't a mother come up to visit her son on his tour?" 

I chuckle and I let go.

She sits down on the couch and pats the empty seat next to her. I sit down there.

"Shawn, I saw you yesterday." She starts saying. 

My face drops. "You did?"

"Yes I did sweetie. I was actually going to surprise you yesterday. The crew came with me to surprise you, and we opened the door of your dressing room. We saw you on the floor, and Geoff next to you. Then you screamed at all of us to get out. Honey, I've never seen you that way. What's going on?" 

I'm trying to decide if I should tell her or not. She's going to find out sooner or later.

"Mum, I'm so in love with Hazel. So much that it hurts. I want her to be next to me for the rest her life."

Her eyes widen.

"No mum, I'm not thinking of marrying her right now." At least not yet. "I just really want her to be here." I tell her.

"Well then, Shawn. Since she can't be here, you could possibly be there with her." She says, giving me a smirk.

"Mum, what do you mean?" I say, wanting to know what she's planning.

"The next concert isn't for another week. In the meantime, go visit her."

Why didn't I think about this before?

"Thank you, mum. You're the best." I say, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

As I rush out to get my laptop to book a flight, I hear her say, "I know I am!"
