Cassie managed to talk some sense into Shawn's agent and she left to calm herself down even more.
"How'd you get her to calm down?," I asked completely mesmerized. She rolled her eyes at me.
"I have my ways," She responded.
"It doesn't matter how you did, I'm just glad you did it," Shawn spoke and sat next to Cassie.
"It was nice seeing you Shawn but we have to g- we're staying for five more days, Cassie. Do you have school?," I asked cutting her off. She shook her head.
"Remember the whole thing with Chase's car?," She asked. Shawn and I both nodded.
"Well...a fan saw Shawn's Instagram post and started attacking the school with questions like "why is Shawn there?" "Why do you let criminals onto the property" and shit like that. The next day reporters wanted the "scoop" and now the schools on lock down," She finished. I nodded and turned to face Shawn.
"Where are Cassie and and I going to sleep?"

We made ourselves comfortable in the tour bus and shut our eyes.

The next day was filled with wardrobe changes, make-up, lighting and mic checks all for Shawn as he got ready for his show tonight in Kansas. Cassie and I were in the tour bus getting ready for the show when Cassie spoke.
"I hope he pulls you on stage again," She spoke as she put on her necklace.
"I hope not," I responded and checked in the mirror to make sure my outfit looked okay. (Samantha's outfit on top)
"You look fine don't worry," Cassie spoke. I rolled my eyes.
"But here's an important question. How do I look?," She said and posed.

I rolled my eyes.
"Like a boss," I responded and walked outside towards our seats with Cassie following close behind. We waited a couple minutes until Shawn appeared in front of us on the stage.
"Hello, Kansas!," Shawn announced into the mic. The crowd went wild.

I flashed Shawn a sympathetic smile which he returned.
"How are you all doing tonight!," He spoke. Again.

The crowd screamed their heads off. I tuned out everything, the screaming, until Shawn started to sing.
"You've got a hold of me"
"Don't even know your power"
"I stand a hundred feet"
"But I fall when I'm around you"
"Show me an open door"
"Then you go and slam it on me"
"I can't take anymore"
"I'm saying 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"
"Would you please have mercy, mercy on my"
"Heart"
"Would you please have mercy, mercy on my"
"Heart"
"I'd drive through the night"
"Just to be near you, baby"
"Heart old and testified"
"Tell me that I'm not crazy"
"I'm not asking for a lot"
"Just that you're honest with me"
"My pride is all I got"
"I'm saying 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"
"Would you please have mercy on me"
"I'm a puppet on your string"
"And even though you got good intentions"
"I need you set me free"
"Would you please have mercy, mercy on"
"My heart"
"Consuming all the air inside my lungs"
"Ripping all the skin from off my bones"
"I'm prepared to sacrifice my life"
"I would gladly do it twice"
"Consuming all the air inside my lungs"
"Ripping all the skin from off my bones"
"I'm prepared to sacrifice my life"
"I would gladly do it twice"
"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"
"Would you please have mercy on me"
"I'm a puppet on your string"
"And even though you got good intentions"
"I need you to set me free"
"I'm begging you for mercy, mercy"
"Begging you, begging you, please, baby"
"I'm begging you for mercy, mercy"
"Ooh, I'm begging you, begging you"
Shawn finished singing and waited for the crowd to die down before speaking again.
"I'd like to call up to the stage, Samantha Manson!," He announced. And before I knew it I was lifted up onto the stage.

Seriously?
"Again, Shawn? Really," I said. He rolled his eyes at me before tossing me a mic.
"They love you," He said.
"Fine...what song are we singing?," I asked. He started singing before he gave me an answer.
"I know he hurt you" I immediately picked up on the song and started singing.
"Made you scared of love, too scared to love"
"He didn't deserve you"
"'Cause you're precious heart is a precious"
"Heart"
"He didn't know what he had and I thank god,"
"Oh, oh, oh"
"And it's gonna take just a little time"
"But you're going to see I was born to love"
"You" I sang as Shawn and I made eye contact.
"What if I fall I won't let you fall"
"What if I cry I'll never make you cry"
"And if I get scared I'll hold you tighter"
"When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be the"
"Fighter"
"What if I fall I won't let you fall"
"What if I cry I promise I'll never make you cry"
"And if I get scared I'll hold you tighter"
"When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be the"
"Fighter"
"Look in the mirror"
"You're beautiful, so beautiful"
"I'm here to remind you"
"You're my only one, let me be the one"
"To heal all the pain that he put you"
"Through"
"It's a love like you never knew"
"Just let me show you"
"What if I fall I won't let you fall"
"What if I cry I'll never make you cry"
"And if I get scared I'll hold you tighter"
"When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be"
"The fighter"
"What if I fall I won't let you fall"
"What if I cry I promise I'll never make you"
"Cry"
"And if I get scared I'll hold you tighter"
"When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be"
"The fighter"
"I wanna believe that you got me baby"
"I swear I do from now until the next life"
"I wanna love, give you all my heart"
"What if I fall I won't let you fall"
"What if I cry I'll never make you cry"
"And if I get scared I'll hold you tighter"
"When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be"
"The fighter"
"What if I fall I won't let you fall"
"What if I cry I promise I'll never make you"
"Cry"
"And if I get scared I'll hold you tighter"
"When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be"
"The fighter"
"What if I fall"
"What if I cry"
"And if I get scared I'll hold you tighter"
"When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be"
"The fighter" the crowd cheered so loud that I had to cover my ears. It was either that or go deaf.

I turned to look at Shawn who wore a smirk on his face.
"I told you they love you," He said and gestured to the audience. I rolled my eyes at him and slumped in my seat next to Cassie.
"You posted that on Instagram didn't you?," I asked her.
"I just did," She responded as we turned our attention back to Shawn for the rest of the show.
