In the middle of nowhere

Chapter 26 ✔️

P.o.v. Shawn

I woke up. I was feeling great. I slept like a princess, really. It felt like all the stress of the last couple of days has finally disappeared.

I stood up, took a quick shower and got dressed. I took my phone and saw that I had a few messages.

Sophia: Hi! Goodmorning
You: Morning Soph, any plans today? X
Sophia: No not really. You?
You: nope! I can come over if you want
Sophia: I'd love that! X
You: I'll be there in an hour.
Sophia: Perfect!

I couldn't stop smiling. I looked at the other messages I had. My mom texted me to ask if everything was okay. Also Aaliyah sended me some texts. And than I had a text from Andrew.

Andrew: SHAWN CALL ME! IMMEDIATELY

Shit, this wasn't going to be a good conversation. I sighed deeply but decided to call him.

(Andrew: A / Shawn: S)
A: Shawn, what the hell were you thinking?
S: I'm sorry I just had to find her
A: this is the busiest time of the year. Hell Shawn. Please think this through.
S: I thought this through. Seriously
A: I don't care. You have a performance tomorrow at the Grammy's and it's a duet with Miley Cyrus.
S: but...
A: No but's Shawn. You better make sure that you are here tomorrow morning.
S: Andrew...
A: I'm not joking, Shawn. Don't... be... late!! Goodbye

He ended the call. He was mad, shit. If I wanted to be there by tomorrow, I already had to leave today. I sighed deeply.

I was really hoping that I could spend some more time with Sophia. Don't get me wrong I love performing with Miley at the Grammy's and it'll be awesome but still...

🌸

Now I was standing here, with a suitcase in my hand in front of my car. I didn't look forward to tell Sophia that I had to go back but I had no choice.

Twenty minutes later I arrived at her house. I opened the door and walked towards the front door. I was nervous and my hands were shaking a bit.

I rang the bell. "Hi" Sophia said enthusiastically. I tried to fake a smile. "What's wrong?" she asked immediately. I sighed. "Andrew, my manager called. I have to go back." I explained.

We entered her house. "When?" she asked. I sighed deeply. "Today. I have a performance at the Grammy's tomorrow" I explained. She just nodded but didn't say much. We just sat down.

"You can come with me?" I suggested. She looked at me. "To the Grammy's?" she asked laughing. I looked at my hands. "Yeah?" I asked. "Thank you for offering but I don't need all the attention. People talk and especially when they see a famous boy standing with me." she explained. "Okay" I just simply said.

I was disappointed but I understood. Sophia doesn't like the spotlights and she's right: people do talk a lot. It's actually crazy how much they talk. And to be honest I do sometimes hate it. All the gossips, oh Shawn is dating Miley and now Camilla and now another girl. Is he a player? It's just annoying.

🌸

We spend our last hours together. We talked a lot about the future but we still had no idea how to figure this all out.

"I have to go" I said. She nodded. We were both quiet. We didn't know what to say. "Thank you for these two days. It was amazing" I started. She smiled and agreed.

We were standing close to each other. "I'm going to miss you" she whispered. "I'm going to miss you too" I answered.

I was so happy that I finally had found Sophia. It's almost like we have known each other for years the first time we've met. But now I have to leave, again.

I looked into her eyes, her beautiful eyes. I may not see them for a while. "You have my number" I said. She nodded. Tears were filling her eyes and I hugged her. "It's okay" I whispered.

I let go of her. All of a sudden she kissed me. I was overwhelmed but answered the kiss after a few seconds. I'm going to miss her.

🌸

I was sitting in my car on my way back. I only could think about her. What does she do to me? I really hope I'll be able to see her again in the future.

The driveway was long. I called Ava in the car and explained her everything. She was so happy for me. She knew that I was going to find her.

🌸

"You've reached your destination" the GPS told me. I sat a few minutes longer in the car. I didn't want to enter that building cause when I do that I'll be Shawn Mendes again, the famous guy. I liked being just Shawn for a minute.

I love being famous and be able to sing but it has negative consequences as well. It's not that I have a perfect life but I can't complain. There are thousands of families who don't even have enough money.

I sighed deeply, grabbed my stuff and opened the car. I walked inside and saw that there was already a huge decor.

"Get some sleep. We will start the final rehearsal in one hour." Andrew yelled. I sighed but just nodded. He was still mad of course but it was all worth it.

I went to the chill room. It's just my room actually to rest a bit but there is a couch so I'm going to sleep. I drove all night long and I'm just tired.

🌸

"Shawn! SHAWN" someone yelled in my ear. I opened one eye and saw Andrew standing in front of me. I turned around and closed my eyes again.

"WHAT THE HELL" I yelled when I was all wet. "You're own fault. You have 5 minutes to get ready." he said angry. I growled but did what he asked me to do.

For those people who haven't noticed yet, Andrew is not a guy that you want to see angry.
