17th November 2019

"We are so late!" I said to Karen and manny as we drove off with madison square garden together "can you hurry up just a little bit please?" I asked the driver.

"Do you think he will be mad if we don't get to see him before he goes on stage?" Karen asked

"I really hope his anxiety doesn't kill him." Manny rested his head on the headboard as he clearly looked worried for Shawn

"I think once he sees us in the crowd watching him, he will be fine." I said to them trying to make manny feel a little bit better.

***

We stepped out of the car and there were literally no fans outside which meant everyone had gone inside the arena.

I saw Jake waiting for us outside. "You guys are late!" He hurried us inside.

He took us through the crowd of fans. I held hands with Karen and manny and Karen held hands it was like a train "oh my god! That's shawns parents and girlfriend!" I heard a fan say

I looked at them and waved. "Can we get a picture?" A mum and her daughter ran up to us.

"I'm so sorry hunny, it's not fair if I take picture with one fan and say no to everyone else." I kissed the little girls hand "you're so pretty! I love your sparkly little bow!" I said to the little girl who stood there not knowing want to do and she looked shocked

"Alissa we really need to get you guys to your seats the shows literally about to start in a minute." Jake hurried me up.

"I'm so sorry!" I mouthed to the fan and blew her a kiss.

We got to our seats and we were in a little booth. "I'm so excited!" Manny said

"Can you believe that our boy is the youngest person ever to sell out Madison square garden under 5 minutes?" Karen said in complete awh of Shawn.

***

Shaw came out on stage and instantly shrills came from the crowd. It took me by surprise because you see one his profile he's got over 6 million followers but it's not until you see a show of 10,00 people you don't actually realise how big 6 million is because they are numbers on a screen.

***

We went started singing never be alone, he looked around the crowd and made direct eye contact with me. "I love you guys so much!" He said looking back out into the crowd "New York city sing that out!" he started singing the whistle of never be alone

He would look over at me while singing then looked back into the crowd then back at me throughout the song. "He wrote his song about you.." Karen said in my ear overtop of him

He went to hold fans hands in the crowd.

He walked over to Karen, manny and I and blew a kiss at us. "Thank you guys for coming.." he said while making the crowd sing

"Hey there Delilah what's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away but, girl, tonight you look so pretty, yes you do." He looked at me deeply in the eye

I felt my eyes tearing up. Karen Hugged me and kiss the top of my head.

"Alissa and Shawn have something so special." A fan said from being us making all three of us turn our heads. I gave her a tight lipped smile.

***

"We need to get you guys backstage so you don't get rushed when people start leaving." Jake came

All three of us again walked and waited for Shawn on the side stage.

He came running in and gave Karen and manny the biggest hug.
