Exhale.

Coffee

Camila turns her back on the crowd. A tear rolling down her face. Memories flashing through her head. How did we end up here?
She stares at the polished casket across the room.
"Inhale. Exhale."

2 years earlier:

It's finally time. Camila gathers up all of her belongings and jumps in her car. Finally the day has come. She makes her way to school as she holds on to her cap and gown. Who knew college could go by so fast.
She turns on the radio to hear the voice of no other but Shawn Mendes. Camila has always been a fan of his music but not a huge fan of his personally. "So Shawn, Tonight is your first show of your stadium tour right?" The radio host exclaims. "Yeah man! Miami has always had a loud crowd!! Im stoked for tonight" Shawn replies.
Camila turns off the radio and parks her car. She puts on her cap and gown and meets her family by the venue. She hugs her little sister tightly and is welcomed by her loving mother and father. "I'm so proud of you mija" Her mom whispers. "gracias mama" Camila hugs her mom and grabs onto her dad as well.

Shawn stands on stage and looks at the view of empty seats. "So this is a dream come true" Shawn sighs to himself. "Shawn come meet some of our sponsors" Andrew calls out. Shawn closes his eyes, takes a deep breath in and out then runs backstage.
——
"Welcome the Class of 2018!"
The audience claps. "You may now take a seat".
The students and families all sit down, Camila looks around at all the proud and happy faces around the room. "We really made it" the girl by Camila whispers to herself. Camila smiles and looks back up at the director. "-by then all of you were told to spread your wings and fly."
Camila zones out and remembers her exciting trip to Los Angeles she has been looking forward to. Finally. "So this is a dream come true" Camila thinks to herself. "Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao" Camila rises as she turns to collect her diploma.
——
Happiness soars through the Miami breeze. "Hey are you coming tonight?" Stacy asks Camila. "I don't know, I still have to pack for my flight" Camila replies. "Mila its our GRADUATION night. We need to celebrate!!" Stacy exclaims. "No, it's alright promise. You go and have fun! I'm going to need plenty of rest for this long flight."
"Alright!! Call me if you still want to swing by-" Stacy teases.
"Okay!!" Camila nods and opens her apartment door. Camila hugs Stacy tightly, she exits and Camila closes the door.
——
"THANK YOU MIAMI!!" Shawn screams. "Better tone it down Mendes you need those vocals for tonight" Andrew chuckles. "I'm just so excited for tonight, a sold out stadium tour is everything I dreamed of having since I've started my career!!!" Shawn lays down on the middle of the stage and looks up at the clouds. "Hey Shawn the band is going out for some coffee do you want anything?" Shawn's assistant asks.
"No, I'm good. I'm gonna go out for a run" Shawn says. He runs to the side of the stage and fixes his hair.
"Don't let anybody see you, Do you need someone to come with you?"
"It'll be a quick walk around the stadium it won't take long!!" He runs off.
——
Camila unplugs her Macbook from her charger and places the laptop in her book bag. She picks up the fluffy black jacket from her couch and slides on some comfy boots.
She locks the door to her apartment and heads out for a walk to the coffee shop down the street.
—-
Shawn runs across the street, a beautiful view of the city. He reaches into his pocket to take a quick picture. "Fuck. I left my phone in my dressing room" He runs to the nearest shop to take a quick break. The barista looks up at Shawn and takes out his phone. "No no no no. Don't do that please! I don't have my security with me, I'll do anything please." The barista agrees and asks for his order. "May I please use your washroom?" Shawn says.
——
Camila's drink gets to the point where it's cold and gross so she gets up to throw it away. She removes her airpods from her ears and puts them back inside the case. She walks over to the trashcan but it appears that a tall young man clashes right into her. The drink spills onto Camila's shirt and jeans. Camila gasps and tries to wipe off the stains. "Shit. I'm so sorry crap. Here let me help you" The man says. Camila is then lifted by him as she sits down at the nearest empty chair.
She continues to wipe down. "Shit. I can replace anything. I'm so sorry." "I don't want your money. Watch where you're going next time" Camila states. "Please don't tell anyone about this" He says. "Why would I-" She looks up only to realize...

It's Shawn fucking Mendes.
