Shawn Mendes' POV:

Malibu, California
2:00PM, Thursday ( the day before Meghan Reed's Party: )

The boys and I are in a small house-like recording studio, finishing the touch ups of my new album, 'SM3' that i'm about to release.
I'm playing around with the buttons on the computer screen, adding new features and sounds to the one last track.

"You ready to drop the album, boys?" Asks my manager Andrew, holding out his hands.

"It's up to Shawn..." Says Scott, tilting his head in my direction. "You ready?"

They all look at me, eyebrows raised.
"Not just yet.. I think 'She'll Be The One' needs a bit more kick to it?" I ask, focusing my eyes on the screen.

"Got you covered," Says Mike the drummer. He swifts his cap backwards and starts playing a catchy beat on the drum set.

"Perfect." I say, adding the sound to the track while moving my head along to the beat.
"How does that sound?" I ask, turning around to the crew in my office chair.

"Great! Ready to release it?" says Andrew

I look at them with a deep thinking expression,
"I think we should wait a few hours time to add more feature's to all the tracks. I mean yeah, I know i've kept them waiting for a while."
By them, I mean my fans.

"Sure bud, take your time. For now should we head out for some lunch?" Asks Geoff, my songwriting assistant.

"Yeah!" We all chime in unison.

2:26 PM:

We arrive at a huge café / restaurant, located on a wharf.
As soon as I walk in, I get a whiff of sweet muffins. Blueberry muffins

We all sit down at a 7-seated table and start skimming our menu's.

"Alright boys, choose what you want, I'll pay." Offers Geoff.

"Nah, It's fine. We can pay for our selves." I say, giving him an assuring look.

"Okay, you guy's cool with that?" He asks, looking 'round the table.
We all murmur in agreement.

"Tell me your order's, I'll tell them to the waiter." I say.
After memorizing everyone's order's, the waiter soon heads towards our table.

"Hi! welcome to Farm Pier Café, what would you guys like to order today?" She says, with a beaming smile.

"Hi, could we please order 2 Greek salads, 1 corn bacon panini, 2 grilled skirt steak's and a BLT kale caesar?" I ask, as the waiter jots down our order.

"Sure, anything else?"
I glance around the table, and then quickly say,
"And one large blueberry muffin please."

"Of course." Says Matt from the end of the table, rolling his eyes.

"Cool, your orders should be ready in about 20 minutes." Says the waiter, walking off.

3:00 PM:

After a hearty lunch and a great discussion about the new album,we head off towards the tour bus.

In the distance I see two girls running towards me. Actually, sprinting.

"OH MY GOSH. Aren't you the Shawn Mendes?!" Says the blonde one, catching up to her breath

"Yeah, would you like a picture?" I ask, holding her phone that was already pointed out at me.
Without getting a reply from them other than squeals, I take a quick picture and hug each of them.

"Omg I'm like your biggest fan, you have no idea." Says the blonde again, this time with tears in her eyes.

"Hey, remember me when you start taking over world." Says the brunette, smiling as she hands me a rose.

"Promise." I reply, accidentally gazing into her soft blue eyes

"Hop in boys." Says Scott

"Enjoy your muffin?" Asks Geoff, patting my back as i sit down.

I turn to him, "Oh yeah." I say, chuckling.

It was a 20 minute drive from here to the studio.
We all walk in, getting in our places. Mike sits down at his drum set, Scott and Teddy set up the bass guitars and Andrew stands beside me as I try finally finishing off the album on the computer.

7:05 PM:

"Aaand we're done!" I yell, pushing my self backwards in my office chair, arms in the air.

"Whoo!" They all say, cheering and patting each other's backs.

"Dude! How do you feel about that?!" Asks Teddy, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"I feel great man!!" I reply enthusiastically, hugging him.

There are no words to describe how I feel actually.
It's crazy to believe how far I've come in such a short amount of time. And in fact, I'm really proud of this album, SM3. The work and effort I put into this is crazy, and I'm really pumped for my fans to hear it.
I honestly couldn't have done it without the crew; Andrew, Geoff, Matt, they've all been there since day 1. And the rest of the crew is always willing to make my dream and passion such a success, which it already is, and I couldn't be more greatful.

"Alright alright, enough hugging boys, get outside for a pic!!" Yells Josiah.

We stand outside in the dark and wrap our arms around each other's shoulders, beaming proudly at the camera

"Smile!" Josiah says, as he snaps a couple of pics
"Perfect! Look at this."

"Nice. Which one for the gram?" Asks Geoff

I point to the second one and say, "This one."

A/N: THANKS FOR 100+ READS!!
I actually thought no more than 20 people would read this, haha.

The reason I haven't put too much detail is because I tried to make Shawn's POV just like how Shawn would say/put it.
So it's a nice, steady, flowy read today.
While I was writing this I was thinking to myself, I really  don't want to have to do this to SHAWN! after all the hard effort he put into this album.. Shawn's gunna be devastated at what happens in the next chapter.
Stay tuned for more!! Make sure to Vote and comment what you think should happen next!! THANK YOU!

- Love, Rebecca xx ❤
