Home/Shawn Mendes

Part 2

Maya:
I went home after the visit at the hospital to my mum, ready for the trip to get away and start a new beginning. A new lifestyle. I could really use a change, and I'm so excited to start working again.
I've waited a long long time for this.

I was busy packing my bags.
I'm leaving today even if the tour starts tomorrow. "Maya baby, please don't go." Marcus said and walked in the room wrapping his arms around me.

"Let me go!" I said and pulled out of his embrace.

Believe it or not but he once was a real gentleman. That's why I loved him. Emphasizing, LOVED.

But he changed and now he's this stranger, I don't even know who he is anymore. He frightens me, the one I loved.
"Fine! Leave!" He yelled and I was never more relieved to hear those words my entire life.

I grabbed my suitcase and walked out of the house to my car, slamming the door shut behind me I drove to Island Records to pick up my backstage passes and equipment.

"Hello Maya." I heard a voice as I walked into the building. "Oh hey Andrew. How are you?" I asked and he walked closer towards me. "I'm good thanks and- what happened to your face?" He asked concerned.
"Oh it's uhm- I uh- slipped in the apartment building on the stairs, and hit my cheek. It's nothing too serious, don't worry about it." I lied.

Hoping he'll buy it.

"Oh-okay." He said and I think he bought it. "Here are your passes and equipment. Oh and we're leaving tonight, a bit early." He said and I smiled taking everything from him.
I'm relieved that we're leaving tonight because I don't really have somewhere to go, noe that I left.

"Thank you. I'll see you at the airport then." I said and he nodded with a smile. These people are so nice. "Goodbye Maya. See you in a big." He said putting his hands in his pockets and walked out. "Bye." I said and walked to my car outside.

I drove to the nearby park and did some music editing just to pass the time. "Hello." I said answering my phone. "Hello darling." My moms weak voice cane through on the line.
She usually calls me from the hospital to check up and just to chat when she's lonely.
Most of the time it's the lonely part.
That's the part that makes me feel ten times worse about having to leave her here in purpose to live out my dream of a music producer or even just get near the experience of it.

"Hey momma how are you feeling?" I asked and heard her coughing. "I'm alright." She said, as strong as ever. "I'm glad to hear that. Change of plans mom, we're leaving this afternoon for he tour. I'm so excited." I said smiling even though she couldn't see.
"I'm so happy for you my dear. Enjoy every moment okay? And remember I'm with you every step of the way." She said,

"Yes ma'am." I laughed. "Goodbye Maya love." She said. "Goodbye mom." I said and hanged up.
I never know when I'm actually saying my last goodbye to her. Making each phone call more painful than the first.

I packed up my things and drove to the airport when I saw the time. I should be there in 30 minutes.
I'm so excited, and I can't wait to go on tour. This will be the break I needed and I get to tour with the worlds most loving people.

I've already got to met some of the team members and they're probably the nicest people I ever met. So caring with the best of humor and personalities. They always include you in everything, which already makes me feel at home and part of the team.

They told me I'm managing this guy called Shawn Mendes. I heard he's very nice and talented. But I also know he must be a very down to earth dude, with a big heart.
I haven't met him yet, it's a challenge I'm yet to overcome. Or maybe it won't even be a challenge.

I'm extremely shy actually, that's why it was always hard to fit in to new groups. But they make it a bit easier to get comfortable and just be myself.
Let's hope he does the same.

This will be fun.
