Life with Shawn Mendes {COMPLETED}

Chapter 32

Hazel's P.O.V.

"Alright, move a little to the left."

I move to where I was instructed by Alexa. She was helping me take some pictures of myself for the big project due at the end of the year, which isn't that far away. Time flies.

If you are wondering, I am back in LA after the funeral. I was allowed to stay a few days at home, and during that time, I thought of what I should use for the assignment. 

I guess you can tell, I chose me.

I have so many feelings about myself. Sometimes I'm happy about the life that I have. Other days, I hate it. So now I was having Alexa help me take some pictures of myself.

"Beautiful, darling!" She exclaimed in a British voice, as if she was a professional. She isn't, but she's the best thing I've got.

"Now, put on a sad face. Hate life, Hazel! Hate it, I say!" She yells, moving around to get different angles. I couldn't help but laugh at her.

She glared at me. "Hazel, you're doing the opposite of what I asked." 
"Sorry, but all the things you're saying are making me laugh!" I chuckle.

"Alright fine, let do happy right now and do sad later." She said, getting into position, putting the camera up to her face.

*After the so-called "photo shoot"*

I go through every single picture that Alexa took of me. 
"Lexa, these are actually pretty good," I mumble, amazed that she would actually ace this.
"I'm taking photography classes on the side. Guess they're paying off." She tells me.
"No wonder." I say.

There's one where I'm sitting against the wall, with a bored expression. Another where I'm smiling like a manic. One where I'm laughing my head off. I also find one where I'm crying. 

I could cry on cue, as one of my hidden talents, if you didn't know.
I decide to send some to Shawn, for fun.

To Shawn: 
*sends pictures*

From Shawn:
You're so beautiful, even when you cry. Thank you for the pictures, hun <3

To Shawn:

Thanks, Shawn. No problem. But you need to send me some of yours later, okay?

From Shawn:
Okay, I will. *laughing emoji*

To Shawn:
BTW, how's writing going?

From Shawn:
Great, actually. Your lyrics help a lot. I'll send you some demos later.

To Shawn:
Glad to help. Okay, until then :) Love you.

From Shawn:
Love you too <3

I turn my phone off, and I look at Alexa. She's already printing some of the good pictures.

"How's lover boy?" She asks, leaning against the wall.
"He's great. Hey, how come you don't even have a boyfriend?" I ask.

"Simple. Every boy I've met are stupid and hormonal. Not like yours. You got yourself a good one, Haz." She says, grabbing some papers out of the printer.

"You'll find someone soon. Any guy would be lucky to have you."
"Yeah, yeah. That's what everyone says. Until then, I'm single as a pringle and living the single life happily." She grins.

I shake my head and laugh, placing the pictures down on the coffee table. I start to place them around, trying to find a place for each one. I make it look like my face, but with every different picture.

Afterwards, I'm satisfied with the way it looks. I place them on a white canvas, and stick them to it. I grab some watercolors and I start splatting the "face" with red, blue, and black, and get some on the background, symbolizing different emotions.

*An hour later*

I wipe my hands with a towel, and I step back to look at my artwork. It actually looks pretty good. It really represents what I feel about myself. I thought this was going to be hard, but in the end, I was my own inspiration. Talk about unexpected.

"Damn Haz. This is unbelievable." Alexa compliments.  
"Thanks. What about yours?" 

While I was working on my art, she was doing hers too.

She spins a medium-sized canvas around, and it was planet Earth, but inside she drew lots of little things. I could see some people holding hands, some bad things, and some other stuff that she saw in the world in her eyes.

"Alexa, yours is amazing too." I go and give her a hug.
"Thanks. We better get A's for these." She laughs.

"We definitely deserve them, I'll tell you that." I say.
We separate from the hug, and stand there in silence.

"So....what should we do now?" She asks.
"Watch Friends?"
"Great."

So we went to the living room, and I put on the 1st season.
I only suggested we watch this, because Alexa loves this show, and I wanted her to keep me company.

Soon enough, my phone vibrates indicating that someone sent me a text. 
"Who is it? Prince Charming?" Alexa asks.
"Yeah."
"I get 5 bucks."

"No you're not." I say, looking at the text Shawn sent me.

From Shawn:
Here are some pics, like you requested, princess <3
*pictures*

To Shawn: 
What a handsome guy I have ;)

From Shawn:
And I have a gorgeous girl. 

To Shawn:
Who?

From Shawn:
Who else?

To Shawn:
Emma Watson? 

From Shawn:
She's second. I meant you.

To Shawn:
A little potato like me? 

From Shawn:
Come on Hazel!

To Shawn:
Okay, okay. Thank you, Mendes  <3

From Shawn:

Anytime. I got the demo right now! Here.
*song teaser*

I put it on loud, and I love it so much. I could hear my lyrics in it, and I must say, Shawn did a really good job on them. It sounds even better when they're coming out of his voice.

To Shawn:
Its amazing, Shawn. This is going to be one of your biggest hits, I know it

From Shawn:
Thanks to you :)

To Shawn:
You're really too much, Peter Raul

From Shawn:
But you still love me, Rose ;)

To Shawn:
I do, I really do. <3

From Shawn: 

I love you so much, you don't even know.

To Shawn:
I might have an idea. 

From Shawn:
*Kiss emoji* I gtg, but have a good night hun.

To Shawn:
You too :)

I turn off my phone, and I barely realize that Alexa is leaning over my shoulder.
"Ah, young love." She smirks.
"Shut up," I say, rolling my eyes.

Okay, kind of a sucky chapter, but here you go! I've been thinking about it, and I think that there might be less than 8 chapters left, but we'll see. Hope you liked the chapter, and thank you for the reads and votes! <3 :)
