[some chapters are really short so don't worry about the length of the book]
A dream of Alyssa came true, but it wasn't as easy as you might think. The collaboration with the famous singer Shawn Mendes was no problem for the hobby photographer, but...
POV Alyssa stop number twentyone - London, England
The last song began to play, which meant that it would be the last shoots for me. We had reached the end of the first part of the tour, which we were proud of. The hard work in the last weeks was extremely rewarding for us.
Every one of Shawn's concerts was a success for the whole crew. The arenas and stadiums filled up faster than we could have imagined. The crowd became louder and more inconceivable every show.
I went backstage while the intro of Treat you Better was playing. I always took the last shots from behind. The crowd started screeching again. The longer you spent in here, the louder and hotter it got.
We all knew that it was time to say goodbye to Europe. This was really the very last show this year here on this incredibly beautiful continent. I restarted my camera because it had turned off automatically because I hadn't used it for a long time.
It didn't take long until I sneaked around a few times, took a few shots and crawled behind the stage again. My work was done and now I watched Shawn in the last minutes until he said goodbye to the screaming crowd. He came towards me laughing and happy and hugged me tight.
"You did it," I said happily, and now I've got my arrms around him, too.
"You mean we did it," he stroked his slightly sweaty hands through my hair and got away from me.
He looked so damn good when he was sweating.
Shawn disappeared and left me. A short time later I decided to go to the lounge where all my camera stuff was. This time I didn't want to pass the time so long and only packed my things at the end shortly before the departure.
"I'm sure you did a great job again", Andrew's voice sounded behind me and immediately I was startled.
I was just looking through the pictures on my camera to see if there was really something good there. Lately I was less enthusiastic about what was on my camera.
"I hope so. I haven't really been happy with my work lately," I said slightly disappointed.
"Ally, you have nothing to worry about. I don't do my job perfectly every day either, but I try to make the best of it," he said encouragingly.
"Thank you, Andrew," I whispered more to myself.
Meanwhile the others were busy cleaning up I sorted out the pictures. I loaded my favorites directly onto the laptop I brought to every show. You never knew when I was gonna lose my memory card.
Not much happened, only Shawn and I were allowed to go back to the hotel quite early. During the ride we didn't talk much, there was a permanent silence. Arrived in the hotel I disappeared directly in my room, threw myself on the bed and buried my face in my pillow.
So my day ended. The first part of the tour as well.
