The long way home || Shawn Mendes||

9

We wake up to the sound of the phone ringing. I sit up and my head is pounding. I see Danny and Alessia stretching. Shawn picks up the phone and mumbles some stuff in the phone still half asleep.

"Yeah we are leaving now," Shawn mumbles and he hangs up, "Shit we slept in we have to be there in 20 minuets."

"Crap," I say getting up out of bed, "How did we sleep in so long I set an alarm."

"Okay everyone go get ready meet downstairs in 10 minuets," Danny says and we all leave the room.

I quickly get in the shower and I put my hair in a messy pony tail. I put on black ripped jeans and a black Nike sports bra and a black Nike windbreaker. I stick on black Nike runners and I grab my camera and bag. I put my makeup in my bag and I head downstairs. Danny and Alessia are sitting on two chairs by the door and I sit down on Danny's lap to wait since there are no other chairs. A few minuets later Shawn comes down the stairs and we get in the car. I do my make up in the car on the way. When we get there we run in and go straight to the meet and greet area. I quickly fix Shawn's hair and then Andrew comes in the room.

"You guys are luckily that you got here on time the first person is coming in now, but Alex do you have any makeup to put on Shawn you can see the hungover on his face," Andrew says.

"Yep I have some in my bag," I say. I put some on Shawn and then the first person comes in.

"Hi," she smiles and gives him a hug.

I take the photo and then the next person comes in. When all the photos are done we go into a bigger room for the Q & A. Shawn sits up on the stage and I stand at the edge of the room. Some questions are asked.

"Yep," Shawn says pointing at someone.

"Hi," she smiles.

"Hey Hun," Shawn says.

"My question is are you and Alex dating again?" She asks.

"No we are just friends," Shawn says, "We have time for one more question."

"Is it weird having Alex around?" the girl asks.

"No not really she is a good friend from my past and it's nice having her around," Shawn smiles, "Thanks everyone, it was great meeting you."

We walk out of the room and we go to Shawn's dressing room to relax before Shawn has to go on. I lay on the couch and Shawn sits on a chair strumming on his guitar. I take out my camera and I start filming him.

"That was beautiful, what song was that?" I ask when he is done.

"It's just something I've been working on but I don't think I will ever release it," Shawn says.

"Shawn your on in ten, Alex we need you in the pit," one of the crew members says sticking his head in the door.

"Well good luck out there," I smile standing up and heading to the pit to take photos.

Soon Shawn comes on and everyone loves him. I get some great photos and videos and soon I'm up on stage take photos. When the concert is over Alessia and I hang out in her dressing room while we get ready to go clubbing with Danny and Shawn.

I put on a red lace bralette, a faux leather white skin tight skirt with zips on it and red heels. I curl my hair and re do my makeup. Alessia puts on a cute blue dress and some white heels and does her makeup before we know it Danny comes and knocks on the door.

"Woah you guys look amazing," Danny says, "Anyway the car is outside."

"We're coming," I say. I put my stuff in a back pack which Danny carries out to the car for me since I have my clutch and Camera and phone.

When we get outside there are lodes of cameras but we just rush and get in the car.

"Wow you guys look Wow," Shawn says when we get in the car.

"Thanks," we both say at the same time.

When we arrive at the club Danny gives us sunglasses for the camera lights. We get out of the car and the paparazzi swarm us Shawn has to grab my hand and pull me through the crowd to get into the club.

"Thanks," I smile

"I'll get us drinks," Danny says walking over to the bar while Shawn, Alessia and I sit down.

We do some shots but then we move to beer and cocktails. Alessia convinces Shawn to go dancing and Danny and I just sit chatting for ages.

"So you have a little sister," Danny says taking a sip of his drink.

"Yeah well she isn't that little anymore, she's 18 now and it's like she should still be sweet and innocent even though she is still just as insane as always, what abut you do you have any siblings?" I ask.

"6 brothers, I wish I had a sister though I think it would have been nice looking after her I think my mom would have loved to have a girl as well since she is the only girl in the family I feel bad for her sometimes," Danny says.

"I know what you mean my dad wanted a son and tried to treat me like a son but I rebelled I was to much of a girly girl growing up not so much anymore but I don't see him much after my parents got divorced he started a new family and now his girlfriend is pregnant so," I say taking a drink.

"Yeah my parents have separated twice and got divorced once and some how still end up back together they have had 4 weddings," Danny laughs.

"4 weddings to one person, I don't know if I could remarry the same person, I could date the same person but marry I don't know," I say.

We talk for hours and I keep on seeing Shawn looking over at us like he was jealous or something which I don't get why since we aren't going out. I see Shawn look at me from the corner of my eye and at this stage I'm just getting annoyed like you did this to yourself. I then see him talk to some girl and with in seconds they are making out. I don't know why but it feels like someone stabbed me in the heart I don't know why this hurts so much. I think Danny can see my pain so he leans over and kisses me. At first I'm taken by surprise but then I kiss him back.

Everything that is going on in my life slips away. I forget about my parents and my crappy boss and Shawn and that girl, I'm just in the moment. All that exists in the world is Danny, I and this moment.
