andrea's pov:
"ok, yes i'll be there." i spoke into the phone with a huge grin on my face. "thank you." i hung up and turned to chloe who was editing another one of my videos. it had been a few weeks since i first uploaded my 'in my blood' cover onto youtube. i had posted a few more covers since then and i had chloe screaming at me by my side as my account grew and as shawn continued to comment on the videos of his songs. i had dmed him on instagram a few times and it was mostly me thanking him but he always replied and it made my heart skip beats.
"what is that all about?" chloe asked as she removed the faint headphones from her ears to stare at me. her hair was tied up in a neat ponytail whereas mine was a messy bun and i didn't bother straightening my hair today since we wouldn't be going anywhere. it was in its natural curly state. "that was andrew. shawn's manager." "shut up. what?" chloe got up and she started to scream and jump around with me. "what did he say?" "he wants to meet me tomorrow to discuss some things." we both screamed louder so my mom came rushing in. "is everything alright, i heard screaming?" "everything's ok mom. hey, can i borrow the car tomorrow?" "i suppose. as long as you aren't out too long." she smiled a warm smile and me and chloe jumped up and down again. my mom went away when she saw the scene.
"do you want me to come with you as support?" chloe asked. "no, i think i'll be ok on my own." i smiled towards her and we both tried to calm down. we spent the rest of the night waiting for my new cover to upload. i swear to god youtube makes uploading a 3 minute video to youtube seem like you just filmed a 3 hour one.

i wiped my sweaty palms on the leg of my jeans as i walked through the front door of a huge building. i had parked the car up and locked it and now i couldn't believe i was here and that this was all real. the lady at the front desk directed me to where i needed to go. i pressed the elevator to the 6th floor and waited anxiously until i heard the ding. once i walked out i noticed a front desk lady again.
"hey, andrea martells. i have an appointment with andrew at 1." i nervously told her and she typed on her keyboard. "yes, please wait here and he will shortly see you." she spoke with a monotone voice and pointed towards three chairs just opposite her. i took a seat and stared around at the professional and aesthetic looking hallway. dark brown doors filled both sides of the walls with little name tags on them. i placed my hands on my lap.
"andrea. hi, sorry to keep you waiting." i was greeted with andrew as he came around the corner from his door that was placed right next to the chair i was sat on. i followed him into his office and took a seat opposite his desk. "hi, thank you for having me." i smiled towards hi and he smiled back. "i was shown your youtube videos and i think you're really talented." "thank you." i felt my heart beat increasing again because i still hasn't got my head around the fact that i was in andrew - shawn's manager's office and he just complimented my voice. "i'm going to get to the point so i don't waste anymore of your time. we want to hire you, take you on as a new artist under our record label. you have a great voice that the world needs to hear." he told me and i could feel my tongue swelling up in my mouth from all of the nerves. "we?" i asked him confused. i don't know why i was confused. i was still trying to process what he had just told me.
"we." i heard a voice and shawn wandered into the room with a smile plastered on his face. "give me a minute..." i held my hand up to my head. i felt like i was dreaming. anytime now i would wake up in my bed and realize that it was all a dream. "you want to take me on as an artist?" i asked again for confirmation. andrew nodded his head and so did shawn.
shawn places his large hands on the back of the chair next to me and leaned over it. "you have a beautiful voice." i heard the words escape his mouth and i think i just got pregnant... "i- you- what-" i choked on my words and shawn chuckled. he could sense i was nervous i think. "relax. you don't have to take the offer. but i really want to work with you."
hearing shawn say that made my heart fall out of my ass. my idol wanted to work with me. his manager wanted to take me on as a professional singer...i couldn't process this. "we can give you a few days to process the information if you would li-" "no." i cut andrew off. "sorry." i quickly apologized to him. "i want to do it. thank you." i smiled and noticed a huge smile spread across shawn's face. "i can't wait to start working with you." he pulled himself up from leaning against the chair.
when i was about to leave andrew's office after discussing all of the legal information and signing some documents, shawn stopped me and walked me to the elevator. "thank you for all of the kind messages on your fan page throughout these years." he smiled a genuine smile. i cringed. "that fan page is embarrassing." "i think it's cute." he smiled one last time and there goes my heart again, it's not like i needed it anyway.
before i could speak, shawn opened his arms and gently wrapped them around my shoulders. i wrapped mine around his torso and rested my head on his chest, taking in his sweet scent from his cologne. we pulled away and i stepped into the elevator to leave.
i still hadn't properly processed everything that had just happened in the last hour or two until my car reached home and i was sat in it on the driveway crying and shaking...
