In Love With My Idol: Shawn Mendes

Twelve

Shawn (yesterday)

I woke up around 10 to find Nessa's note on the counter while getting a glass of water.

Shawn,

I'm out at work, and I'll be back a little after nine after closing. Have a great day.

I love you Xx Nessa

Her handwriting is so cute, just like she is. I don't have anything planned for the day yet, so I spend the day doing some laundry, cleaning up the boxes from last night, and just relaxing. I messed around with the guitar a bit tried to write some lyric ideas down. And as I eat lunch, I get a call from Nessa, glad that she found that I had put my number on speed dial onto her phone.

Hey beautiful. What's up?

Shawn I need to get back to the condo. (she says in between sobs)

Nessa, what's wrong? Are you crying? Why are you crying? Is everything okay? I'm heading straight there. Don't move.

No, Shawn it's really okay. Can you just send someone to come and take me back to the condo please?

I'm going myself. I'll be there in fifteen. Hold tight. I'm coming.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

My mind is racing. I grab my keys and run out the door and get to the Jeep as fast as I can. I jam the key into the ignition and take the fastest way to her coffee shop. I call Andrew, knowing something's up, and tell him to gather PR, the crew, and everybody else that we'll need and get them to his office. I guess it's time for Nessa to meet everyone. It was going to happen sooner or later, so why not now. I get to the back alley and park the car, text her that I'm here, and wait for her by the door. She comes out with red, puffy eyes as if she had been crying. 

"Jesus, Nessa. Are you okay? What happened?" (me)

"There was a group of girl, comparing me to a picture in a tabloid, and I ran. They followed me and tried to take pictures. I didn't know what to do." (Janessa)

"Aw baby, I'm so sorry. I promise I'm going to fix this as soon as I can, okay? Your safety and well-being is my most important priority right now. Are you okay?" (me)

"I'm okay now because you're here. Thanks for coming to get me. You really didn't have to." (Janessa)

"After what you just told me, I'm glad I didn't just send someone to come get you. I'm glad it was me." (me)

I park the car in the front of the building where Andrew's office is and gets. I go over to Janessa's side and help her out of the car. She's shaking slightly. I put my arm around her and pull her close to me as we enter the building.

"Shawn.. Where are we? This isn't the condo." (Janessa)

"I said I was going to fix it, so that's exactly what I'm going to do."

"That doesn't answer my question." (she says as we enter an elevator)

"My manager and crew is here. They'll know what to do. Plus, they need to meet the girl who's got my heart in her hands and created this mess." (I say trying to lighten the mood)

"That's not funny, and I can't wait to meet them." (Janessa)

"Sorry baby. We're here." (me)

We get out of the elevator and I guide her to the back to Andrew's office. I wave to the lady at the front desk, and she knows me and let's us through. When we get to Andrew's office,  I see him and Jake, Matt, Josiah, the PR people, and the rest of my crew. I squeeze Janessa's hand, hoping to send a reassuring message that everything will be fine. She sticks close to me, almost as if she's hiding behind me.
