Her commitment

Chapter 16

It turns out Mrs. Gram was okay with me leaving in a jet black Volkswagen with Cassie and that our destination was Indiana. She's the best boss ever.

I had fun on the ride there, though. The whole way Cassie was playing the radio and we were singing each song off key.

It was great. Makes me feel like I have a normal life.

We pulled up into the venue to see Shawn standing in front of us with two body guards on each side of him.
"Okay, Sam we're here so we need to play it cool," Cassie said to me. I rolled my eyes.
"I'll try to contain my excitement," I replied sarcastically. She rolled her eyes at me and stepped out of her car.

I copied her actions and stood in front of Shawn. He smiled at me and I returned it.
"Glad you guys could make it," He said and shot a smile towards Cassie.
"Glad to be here," Cassie spoke. Shawn began to walk inside with us following him.
"So...when do you preform?," I questioned.
"Couple of hours," He responded and opened the door to what I'm guessing is his dressing room. Cassie, being the crazy fan girl she is, decided to take selfies with everything in the room.

I rolled my eyes. Fangirls.
*************************************
Cassie and I made our way to our seats which just so happened to be in the first row.
"Hello, Indiana!," Shawn's voice boomed into the mic.
"How are you all doing tonight?" again...the crowd went wild. I tuned everything else out until Shawn started to sing.
"I thought that I've been hurt before"
"But no one's ever left me quite this sore"
"Your words cut deeper than a knife"
"Now I need someone to breath me back to"
"Life"
"Got a felling that I'm going under"
"But I know that'll make it out alive"
"If I quit calling you my lover"
"Move on"
"You watch me bleed until I can't breathe"
"I'm shaking falling onto my knees"
"And now that I'm without your kisses"
"I'll be needing stitches"
"I'm tripping over myself"
"I'm aching begging you to come help"
"And now that I'm without your kisses"
"I'll be needing stitches"
"Just like a moth drawn to a flame"
"Oh you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain"
"Your bitter heart cold to the touch"
"Now I'm gonna reap what I sew"
"I'm left seeing red on my own"
"Got a feeling that I'm going under"
"But I know that'll make it out alive"
"If I quit calling you my lover"
"Move on"
"You watch me bleed until I can't breathe"
"I'm shaking falling onto my knees"
"And now that I'm without your kisses"
"I'll be needing stitches"
"I'm tripping over myself"
"I'm aching begging you to come help"
"And now that I'm without your kisses"
"I'll be needing stitches"
"Needle and the thread"
"Gotta get you out of my head"
"Needle and the thread"
"Gonna wind up dead"
"Needle and the thread"
"Gotta get you out of my head"
"Needle and the thread"
"Gonna wind up dead"
"Needle and the thread"
"Gotta get you out of my head"
"Needle and the tread"
"Gonna wind up dead"
"Needle and the thread"
"Gotta get you out of my head get you out of"
"My head"
"You watch me bleed until I can't breathe"
"I'm shaking falling onto my knees"
"And now that I'm without your kisses"
"I'll be needing stitches"
"I'm tripping over myself"
"I'm aching begging you to come help"
"And now that I'm without your kisses"
"I'll be needing stitches"
"And now that I'm without your kisses"
"I'll be needing stitches" the crowed was filled with tears and screams. I turned around to find Cassie screaming her heart out: "I love you, Shawn" I rolled my eyes at her and turned my attention back to Shawn.

He looked like he was trying so hard to not cover his ears because of the deafening screams coming from the crowd. I smiled at him sympathetically which he returned.
"I have a treat for you guys," Shawn said once the crowd died down.
"I'm going to invite someone up on stage to sing a song with me. You probably have no idea who this person is...after today you will," He spoke.
"I would like to call to the stage...Samantha Manson," He said and looked directly at me. I shook my head furiously but was lifted onto the stage regardless.
"What the hell, Shawn," I said quietly trying not to cause a scene.
"Just have fun," He said before opening his mouth to sing.
"Uh U.N.I.T.Y, U.N.I.T.Y thats a unity" Being me and loving this song, I couldn't help but sing along.
"U.N.I.T.Y, love a black man from infinity to"
"Infinity"
"Who you calling a bitch?"
"U.N.I.T.Y, U.N.I.T.Y that's a unity you"
"Gotta let him know"
"You go, come on here we go"
"U.N.I.T.Y, love a black woman from you"
"You got to let him know"
"Infinity to infinity you ain't a bitch or a ho"
"U.N.I.T.Y, U.N.I.T.Y that's a unity you"
"Gotta let him know"
"You go, come on here we go"
"U.N.I.T.Y, love a black man from you got"
"To let him know"
"Infinity to infinity you ain't a bitch it a ho"
"Instinct leads me to another flow"
"Every time a hear a brother call a girl a"
"Bitch or a ho"
"Trying to make a sister feel low"
"You know all of that gots to go"
"Now everybody knows there's expectations"
"To this rule"
"Now don't be getting mad, when we"
"Playing, it's cool"
"But don't you be calling out my name"
"I bring wrath to those who disrespect me"
"Like a dame"
"That's why I'm talking, one day I was"
"Walking down the block"
"I had my cutoff shorts on right cause"
"It was crazy hot"
"I walked past these dudes when they"
"Passed me"
"One of 'me felt my booty, he was nasty"
"I turned around red, somebody was"
"Catching the wrath"
"Then the little one said yeah me bitch"
"And laughed"
"Since he was with his boys he tried to"
"Break fly"
"Huh, I punched him dead in his eye and"

"To go but up"
"Bad days at work give you an attitude"
"Then you were rough"
"And take it out on me but that's about"
"Enough"
"You put your hands on me again I'll put"
"Your ass in handcuffs"
"I guess I fell so deep in love I grew"
"Dependency"
"I was to blind to see just how it was"
"Affecting me"
"All I knew was you, you was all the man I"
"Had"
"And I was scared to let you go, even"
"Though you treated me bad"
"But I don't want my kids to see me getting"
"Beat down"
"By daddy spanking mommy all around"
"You say I'm nothing without ya, but I'm"
"Nothing with ya"
"A man don't really love yo if he hits ya"
"This is my notice to the door, I'm not"

"Ya"
"But like yo-yo you don't hear me though"
"You wear a rag around your head and you"
"Call yourself "
"A gangsta bitch now that you saw"
"Apache's video"
"I saw you wilding, acting like a fool"
"I peeped you out the window jumping girls"
"After school"
"But where did all of this come from?"
"A minute ago, you was a nerd and nobody"

"You go, come on here we go"
"U.N.I.T.Y love a black man from you"
"Must let him know"
"Infinity to infinity you ain't a bitch or a ho" the song ended and the crowd erupted into cheers.
"See? That wasn't so bad was it," Shawn smirked. I rolled my eyes and jumped off of the stage back to my seat.

You have no idea.
