Chapter 3

Lacey's POV
Munich, Germany

I finally landed, I slept the entire way. As soon as I got off the plane I dialed Dylan's number. No answer. Then I realized the time difference... oops. After texting Andrew of where the hell to go I see a familiar face. Shawn Mendes. And next to him... The Andrew Gertler.

I walked over to the two of them. They seemed to be bickering before Shawn noticed me. "I'm sorry I can't take photos right now, I'm sick." He said but gave a gentle smile. "I-I'm not a fan... I mean I am but... I-" "Lacey! I'm so glad to finally meet you." Andrew exclaimed. We shook hands, Shawn's expression dropped.

All of a sudden paparazzi came out of no where. Shawn immediately grabbed me and kissed me. Dear god his lips were amazing! We immediately headed out as Shawn's bodyguard came back with my luggage. Shawn has a way too tight grip on my wrist. I whispered slightly and he tightened his grip.

Then there was screaming. Shawn's fans. "Smile and look like you love me." Shawn whispered in my ears before looking at all of his fans with a smile. We ran past them, not stopping for photos or questions and got into a black van. That's when Shawn finally let go of me and wiped his mouth. "Look. Andrew is taking a separate car so I can finally say this. But unless we are in public don't look at me, don't talk to me, in fact! Don't even breathe around me." He growled out before putting his earbuds in and turning his music up loud.

I just nodded and look out the window as we passed by building after building. I felt a tear escape my eye but I wiped it away quick before Shawn or his body guard could see. This was going to be absolutely hell. The saddest part is I was a fan. I've been a fan of him since Magcon. I honestly looked up to him... but now I don't really know.

Shawn POV
The Charles Hotel

We finally pulled into the hotel we'd be staying at. Fans were everywhere. I hate to be showing them a fake smile but I can't do anything else. I'm being forced to be with that girl and lie! I get out and run to the other side of the car to let that girl out. I put on my show smile, grab her hand, and pull her towards the hotel doors. At this point if a fan yanked her hair I could care less... but I have to act like I care.

I hear a gasp escape her lips as we enter the fancy hotel. "Geez are you that poor that you've never seen a nice hotel." I snickered out earning a glare from her. Andrew was already up in his room, at-least that's what he texted me. "Shawn Mendes." I say to the lady at the desk. She hands me one room key... oh no! Andrew did not! I nod a thanks and walk off to the elevator leaving Lacey behind. I'll just tell my fans I really had to go to the bathroom.

I had a Q & A in 2 hours so I had to get ready quick! I wait for Lacey to get up to the room before going in. Another gasp escapes her lips. I roll my eyes head over to our luggage and grab the things I need so I can take a shower. I immediately leave we alone in the living room. I want to be as far from her as possible as much as I can.

Lacey's POV
Room 207
The minute Shawn practically runs to the bathroom with his belongings I feel tears well in my eyes. It hasn't even been twenty four hours and I'm already stressed and in a bad mood. Andrew gave me his room number so I go and visit him.

After a short walk down the hallway I'm in Andrew's room. "Andrew he absolutely hates me!" I almost yell at him. "Just give it time Lacey, he's just mad he has to lie to everyone." "I know that! And Andrew I would quit at this exact moment if I didn't need the money so god damn bad! Please talk to Shawn! I will not be treated like crap unless Shawn wants another thing coming to him!" I scream as loud as I could before stomping back to my room.

Shawn was sitting on the bed. Once I entered he stood up. Before he could open his mouth I exploded. "Listen up Mendes, if you think you can push me the fuck around you've got another thing coming!" I push him back to the bed so he's sitting. "I will not tolerate being treated like crap. In fact! I would quit at this very moment if I could. But guess what Mendes, I have a family too help so if you would just put up with me that'd be great." I exhale deeply after having gotten that all out.

That's when I realized I had done the wrong thing. Shawn's eyes darkened as he got up. He got up and hovered above me, taking my chin in his hand and yanking my head so I would look him in the eye. I gave him the best death glare I possibly could.

"Well listen up here Smith, if you think you can talk to me like that you're wrong." I pull back from him and back away. He kept stepping closer. "When you're with me you play by my rules, got it?" He growled out trapping me against the wall. He put a hand on either side of my head and balled up his fists. "You Ms. you're not the boss of me, are sleeping on the couch in the living room. Andrew can try to make us see eye to eye... but that just won't happen." Then he walked away.

Lacey's POV
Olympiahalle

Finally meet and greets were over. I met a lot of fans. Shawn and I acted civil you could say. I mean besides the side comments to each other it went smooth. But now it was concert time. He was going to pull me up on stage and announce that I was his girlfriend to ALL of Germany.

I sat down in the front row, lights went low, girls screamed. I had a really fun conversation with the two girls on both sides of me.. they knew nothing. They're names were Veronica and Hailey. They're parents only had enough money for front row but not to meet them. I was going to help them. Once Shawn announced that we were a "thing" I would help them get backstage to meet their idol.

He played through a good portions of songs before it finally began. "Hello everyone, how are you doing?" He said into the mic. I think I went deaf at that point. "Now, you know that I like to be open with you guys about everything in my life and I have something new to share with you all. I have a girlfriend." Screams. Screams is all you need to know. "She's here tonight actually. So Lacey Smith would you please come up onstage." Shawn said acting as if he was scanning the crowd for me. The body guards help me up, Shawn's hand extended for me to take. "This, everyone, is my girlfriend Lacey Smith."

That's when he kissed me. Long enough so people would take pictures and videos. "Awws" errupted around the arena. My heart fluttered with every touch from Shawn. Then I remember Dylan, that's when I pulled away. Shawn looked a little taken aback at my suddenness but just gave me a bone crushing hug. He then sent me offstage dedicated a song for me and continued on. T

The girls on either side of me hovered around me like when a dog sees food. It was truly uncomfortable to have girls asking questions. I was just trying to watch Shawn perform.

Once the show ended and the arena was empty of everyone except for the two girls I had befriended Shawn came back out. "Shawn!" He walked over, immediately replacing his glare to me with a smile. "Yes darling?" "These two girls didn't get the chance to meet you." I said letting the body guards help them onstage. Immediately they hugged him and talked with him. I just stayed on the side lines and was happy that I could make someone's day.

Shawn's POV
Room 207

Andrew and I were having a meeting, Lacey was fast asleep on the couch. "I hate her, I really do!" I exclaimed to him pacing my bedroom. "Shawn, please at least try to get along with her, for my sake!" He pleads. I shake my head. "You don't get it do you! I'm lying to the people I love!" I yell not caring if I wake up Lacey or not.

"Shawn she's trying to help her family. Did you take the time to get to know her? Well let me fill you in if you didn't. Her dad abandoned her mom and and her little brother and sister to run off with some stripper he met. Her mother is an alcoholic who could give to shits about her and her siblings. And her siblings are really all she has, she's been raising them and everything!" I wince at every word. "She is doing this for her family... not for fame!" He yelled out before leaving me alone.

I don't get why she chose to do this... I mean yeah it pays well but she'll be famous forever from it... I have a little guilt but not enough to feel sorry yet. I run a hand through my hair and slip into bed. Until she learns to not push back... maybe then I'll give her a chance.
