Perks of Being a Grier (A Cameron Dallas Fanfiction)

Chapter 23

"Well, we have a day off today, so I'm up for anything." Carter says.

"What about we stay at the hotel today, and make youtube videos for our channels?" Matt says.

"Yeah." The rest of the boys say at their own speeds.

"Okay, we can split into groups, and meet back here later." Johnson says.

"You okay with that?" Cam whispers to me.

"Yeah, I wanted to do a video for my channel anyways." I say.

"Okay." He says, and joins the rest of the guys, to divide into groups.

"Hey, Paige." I voice shouts from behind me.

"Hey." I say spinning around to face Shawn.

"So, umm... I was wondering if..." He says nervously scratching the back of his head. "you would wanna do a song cover with me." He says ending it with a nervous smile.

My jaw dropped a bit, and my eyes widened. DId I just hear right, or did The Shawn Mendes want to do a song cover with me?

"Yeah, sure!" I say containing my excitement, and shock.

"Okay, good... I've wanted to do a cover with you ever since I heard you singing in the shower." He says.

"Really? I was trying to be horrible..." I say.

"Nahh...That was horrible," He says laughing, " but I could tell you weren't trying your best."

"Oh, okay good." I say relieved.

"Yeah, actually I wanted to do a cover ever since I saw the video." He says.

"Makes more sense..." I say laughing.

We both join the rest of the guys, who have now picked their groups.

Nash was with Matt and Cam, Hayes was with Aaron and the Jacks, and Taylor, Carter, and Jacob are together.

"Alright, so lets meet back here in 2 hours." Nash says. Then, everyone walks their own ways.

"Taylor, Carter, and Jacob are gonna be using our room, so..." He says as we walk down the hallway.

"I think Hayes is with Aaron and the Jack's in their room, and Nash is with Cam and Matt in theirs, so my room is free."

"Okay, well I'm gonna grab my guitar and camera from my room." He says.

"Okay, I'll get everything ready." I say, as he turns around, and walks towards his room.

I open the door, and see that Nash and Hayes' beds are a huge mess. I walk over to mine, which is un-made, but not covered in empty chip bags and clothes like theirs. I clear off Nash's bed next to mine, and dump everything on it, on the ground. I walk over to my suitcase, and pull out my acoustic guitar. I sit on my bed, and strum a few chords to get warmed up. I hear a knock on my door and get up and answer it.

Shawn comes in with his guitar in one hand, and his camera and fold-up tripod in the other. I help him set up the tripod, and then sit on the bed.

"So, what song were you thinking?" He asks me.

"I don't know yet... What song did you wanna do for your channel?" I ask.

"I kinda wanted to do I'm Yours by Jason Mraz." He says.

"Really!? I can play that on my guitar!" I say.

"Well that worked out well..." He says smiling. "Teach me the chords."

I show him the chords, and he picks them up in no time. We play the song on our guitar a few times through, until we've got it down pat. Then we focus on the lyrics, and work out parts to add in harmonies. We run through the song a couple times, fixing problems and throwing out ideas as we go on. Once we nailed it, we put the acoustics and lyrics together. It's really fun working with Shawn. We joke around, and get to know more about eachother throughout the whole process. We perfected the song in a matter of about 40 minutes.
