Meredith giggled as Shawn lead her back to her hotel room. He gripped her hand in his own. She could feel the callous on his fingers from playing the guitar. She stopped at her room, released his hand, and turned to look at him.
"Thanks for visiting, Shawn," she beamed.
"I'm glad to be here. I just wish I could stay longer," he sighed. "I have to get back on the road tomorrow."
Meredith frowned.
"But that's just one afternoon together, and you know Isabella and Cassidy are too busy with their own stuff to come here," she complained.
"I know," he weakly smiled. "I promise I'll visit every so often. And remember, we have songwriting and we are going to be going on the road together for a while," he tried to cheer up.
Meredith nodded.
"Do I get a goodbye hug?" he opened his arms.
She practically threw herself at him. She took in his scent that she loved so much. He picked her up and spun her around some. When he set her back down, their grip loosened on each other and they just stared at each other.
"Just remember, I'm definitely coming back for my best friend," he reminded.
"I know," she stood on her tip toes and kissed his cheek lightly.
They each said their goodbyes to each other, and parted ways. What they were in unaware of was the British boy spying on them.

The minute Tom heard giggling, he ran to the door and looked out the peep hole. He saw Meredith, holding Shawn's hand, walk to her room
"Thanks for visiting, Shawn," she beamed.
"I'm glad to be here. I just wish I could stay longer," he sighed. "I have to get back on the road tomorrow."
Meredith frowned. He hated to see her frown.
"But that's just one afternoon together, and you know Isabella and Cassidy are too busy with their own stuff to come here," she complained.
"I know," he weakly smiled. "I promise I'll visit every so often. And remember, we have songwriting and we are going to be going on the road together for a while," he spoke. "Do I get a goodbye hug?" he opened his arms.

"Just remember, I'm definitely coming back for my best friend," he reminded.
"I know," she kissed his cheek lightly.
They each said their goodbyes to each other, and the Canadian left her, while she went to her hotel room. He felt his heart break at seeing her sad. He hurt when she kissed Shawn's cheek, hugged him, and when they held hands.
"Dude."
He turned to see Harrison.
"You're definitely whipped," Harrison noticed.
"I'm n-"
"You're stalking her through a peep hole!" he raised a brow.
Tom sighed.
"Yeah, I am," he walked over and sat on his bed. "It's just-she's so amazing. She's pretty, she's funny, she's sweet. It's just...that is Shawn Mendes that was just here! I can't compete with that. He is an extremely famous singer with girls everywhere fawning over him. I'm just an actor that's in a few movies."
Harrison walked over and sat next to him.
"Dude, did you just hear yourself? That depressed me. Anyway, you're an actor and he's a singer, so what? You did hear that they call each other their best friend, right? That means he's friend zoned and you're not," Harrison tried to lift Tom's mood.
"She also called me her best friend," Tom muttered.
"Then you got to get out of the friend zone," Harrison stood.
-------------------
Between shoots the next day...
"Hey, Meredith!" Tom yelled.
He had on a poncho at the moment as it was raining. He ran up to her.
"Tom, hi," she smiled.
"I-I was wondering if you wanted to go get some coffee," he asked.
"Um, yeah," she smiled. "Yeah, let's go."
Tom walked her out of the studio and to the Starbucks next door.
