And there were they, Andrew and the other guy. They were obviously waiting for this situation to end up as soon and as better for everyone as possible.
"Is everything OK," Andrew asked.
"How do you think?" was Alexa's answer.
"Well that was a total accident, besides we don't really know what was the actual reason of it". Obviously Andrew tried to get his friend out of that situation, but he was taking this conversation to a dead end. Meanwhile Shawn came back out of the restroom.
"The actual reason?" Alexa tried to clarify his words. "He fooled around, he stumbled, I got burns. What hidden meaning are you trying to find here?"
"Well, that's just my suggestion but it could have been your foot he could stumbled over"
"Andrew don't" Shawn tried to interrupted him, but the words were said.
"What? What are you talking about? I got injured, how could I do that to myself? I'm not crazy. Besides we were not standing even close to each other. Why would somebody do something like that?"
Alexa almost forgot about the pain because she was so much confused with this conversation. Shsawn's eyes got even bigger when he heard that words of his friend.
"I don't know, to get some benefits I guess"
"Andrew, stop! Stop it right now!" cried Shawn.
"What? Are you ... are you crazy? Are you out of your mind" Alexa got even angrier than she was before.
"I'm so sorry again! Please forgive me and my friends" asked "the coffee guy"
"Oh, you know what, screw you and your friends. I don't even want to sort out this insanity" as she said that she just turned around and left the coffee shop.
"What the hell was that" – that's what everybody at that very moment and place thought.

"Andrew, how could you say that to her? It was not her fault that I fell down. It was totally mine" Shawn addressed his question to Andrew.
"I was just trying to protect you" Andrew was firm in his believes. "You know how many fans you have, and each one of them is trying to take a piece of you. You cannot know what's on their mind, in their thoughts"
"I don't know, I think you are wrong"
The three of them left the coffee shop and sat on the bench right near it.
"You know what, I still think she is not out of my fandom" he said.
"Then who is she?"
"I don't know Geoff. But she never called my name." Shawn started to think about what happened and assumed. "In fact her behavior was right the opposite to any fangirls'. She was so straight to the point, not afraid to tell me what an ass I was. That's something I've come across for the first time in my live, actually.
"Do you think that's possible that she doesn't even know you" Geoff asked.
"I guess so"
Shawn was very confused. Everybody was.

And just a moment later the coffee shop guy opened the door. He was searching with his eyes for somebody.
"Is there a problem?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah, kinda. That girl left her phone in the restroom, I thought she was somewhere nearby to give it back to her"
"I'll give it to her, give me the phone" Shawn shouted. He grabbed the phone out of the guys' hands. "Thank you"
"How're you going to find her?" Geoff asked.
Shawn tried to unlock the phone. It had no password.
"I don't know, maybe there are some numbers I can call, or pictures or I don't really know. I need a minute to think, I'm so nervous right now, I can't think at all. I need to take a walk"
"Ok, let's take a walk" said Andrew. Both Andrew and Geoff stood up.
"No, I mean I need to take a walk by myself only. No offence, but I need to put my thoughts together" Shawn said.
"Ok, but be careful" guys sat back on the bench while Shawn put the hood over his head and started walking.
He's been walking for about 15 minutes already. And then he came up with an idea.
"Let's see. (he pushed the button) Siri, take me home"
And there it was, his way to Alexa's house. He felt such a huge victory. He decided that he should see her once again, give her some explanations and apologies of course.
