1 | Meeting Mendes

{ A/N- I'm really proud of this book,it is my first complete book, however the first few chapters are not the best and they are very long, it was when I was new to writing on Wattpad and finding my style, so please don't let that put you off. Thank you for reading and enjoy!}

Hi I'm Isabella, I'm 17 and go to Manchester college in England. I study film and music. I live in a small village outside Manchester. I live in a modern town house and have lived here for 10 years. My house is 3 stories high with an attic. My room is on the second floor. I have my own bathroom. When our house was made we got choices of what we all wanted, my dad want us to all have our own bathroom so we do not take forever to get change and fight over the bathroom. We also got small extra items e.g a beer fridge. When I say we I refer to my mum, dad and sister.

My sister lives in London and is a graphic designer.

Shawn Mendes influences me a lot, I love him so much. To be honest I'm a bit obsessed with him... but what's wrong with that? I play two instruments, well technically five instruments. I play the piano, keyboard, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and bass guitar. I can't explain how much I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, another reason why I love Shawn even more! I have loved Harry Potter since I was 8 and loved Shawn since I was 14.

I'm gutted, he's coming to Manchester today for his Illuminate show tonight and the tickets sold before I got any. My dad promises me he will get them next time - aww he is so kind.

I woke up at 10:00 am and stayed in bed watching Netflix till 11:30am. At 12:00pm nipped downstairs and had brunch  ( breakfast/lunch).  I had some tomato soup with toasted bread.

My mum went out shopping and my dad stayed in doing some work. He stayed in his office which was right next to the front door.

I decided to do a bit off jamming to Shawn Mendes on the guitar while my speaker blasted out his songs. Sorry dad Ooops.
First song, typical 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back'
Yessss!
I danced around the room and started jamming on my guitar.

Shawn
I heard a grunt come from our tour bus driver, the tour bus pulled to the side of the road. Then I heard a bang.

"shit!" I heard my manager Andrew bellow.

" What is it Andrew?" I ask him.

" The bus has broken down, it looks like we are going to have to call the emergency break down service." He started to dial the number then got off the tour bus and put his phone to his ear.

I lay there on my cellphone with my feet up on the table and was texting my sister Aaliyah.
She wanted me to let her know how my second tour in the U.K. was going.

" For heavens sake, the motorway was cut off and now the bus is broken down... England is driving me crazy!" Says Mike.

I laugh at him and carried on texting Aaliyah. I sent the message.Andrew soon came back on the bus.

" Listen up guy, does anyone have signal on their cellphone ?" I looked at my cell and saw that my text to Aaliyah had not been sent.

Everyone said no.

"Guys were in a bit trouble because we don't have any signal to call the emergency break down service but Geoff has come up with a great idea to go knock on a house and as if they would not mind if we use their house phone, so we are going to go and do that."

" Mind if I come I call to them?"

We left the tour bus and there were about 6 town house lined up down the side of the road. We went for number 19 as we saw that someone, was working in what looked like an office through the window.

Isabella
"Dadddddd!" I bellowed as I heard a knock at the door, " I think the postman at the door." The door between the kitchen and hallway was closed. I was feeling to lazy to open the door to the postman today, and I was doing really well getting through 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back' on the guitar. So I left the door to my dad. Ooopss sorry dad!

Shawn
A man came to the door, "Hello."

" Hi, sorry for the inconvenience but would we be able, to use your house phone to phone the AA? Our tour bus has just broke down." Andrew asked.

" Course! Please come in!" He turned and gave Andrew the house phone.

I saw a small electric piano to the side of the room, many family pictures were on the wall and in frames on the side.
I heard 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back' playing from the next room.

I did not want to intrude so I look to the man.

"My gosh, you're Shawn Mendes. Lovely to meet you! I'm Daniel."

He held out his hand, I shook it.

" Nice to meet you too!" I looked towards the door when the music was coming from while my crew where surrounding the phone. " Mind if I go through?" I asked Daniel.

" Please do Shawn." He replayed.

Isabella
"She says that she's never afraid
Just picture everybody naked
She really doesn't like to wait
Not really into hesitations."

I heard a voice from the other side of the room. Oh god don't tell me, my dad walked I'm while I was dancing and singing around the room like a mad woman with my guitar. But this voice was different, and I knew straight away who's voice it was, but this was unrealistic how could he be here? Why would he be here? Here at my house?

I look up and see him singing along to the music.

{ Authors Notes: Hi guys! This is a new story of mine! I hope you like the concept. I came up with this idea when I was going to bed the one night, hahaha I know I know, I have nothing better to think about. 😂 I wanted to make it realistic, but different. I hope I achieved that.
Please show this story some love, and spread around to people who you think may enjoy it.
THANK YOU ❤️
Ps, sorry my story isn't amazing, I'll tell you, I've improved so much lately with practice as a writer.
Love the Author Millie.}
