Chapter fifteen

P.O.V EMILY

I walk through the hallways to my locker. It's lunchbreak. I hate lunch break. Kyra is dancing with a friend of hers. The boys are playing football or doing other weird things. I sit alone in front of my locker, usually listening to music or rehearsing a choreography.

The hallways are empty today. I check my phone for the time. It really is lunch break. Suddenly I hear loud noises coming from outside. I see a big crowd, cheering for something or someone. I decide to go outside as well, just to take a look. I make my way through the crowd. I'm not that tall, I cannot see anything in the back. I reach the front of the crowd. A big black Jeep is standing there. I takes me a moment to realize who it is.

"SHAWN!" I scream and see him stepping out the car. "Emily!" I ran towards him and hug him tight. It takes me some strength to hold back the tears. He tries to hug me even tighter. People around us are making photos, maybe even recording the whole thing. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. "I missed you, and I had a day off." "He was supposed to be writing new music." Andrew says sarcastic. I laugh. "OMG I missed you so much!" I say and hug him again. He gives me a kiss on my forehead. "I love you," he says smiling. "I love you too," I say.

Most of the people went back in school. Shawn and I are still standing outside. "You want to join my last lesson? I have music lessons." "Sure, if your teacher is okay with me joining." "Omg, Shawn!" Kyra runs towards us in her dancing clothes. "Hey Kyra! How are you?" Shawn asks. They hug each other. "I'm good! Thanks! How are you?" "Haha I'm doing great," he replys. The door from the car opens again. This time it's Nash stepping outside. "Omg Nash!" she yells. Nash hugs her. The bell rings. Time to go inside...

The class is everything but quiet. People are laughing and whispering. Just not paying attention. I sit next to Shawn. Nash is on his other side with Kira. Shawn left his bodyguard in the car. "He will make it even more messier then it will already be," he said. The teacher isn't really happy with him in class. "Everyone quiet now. I want to start my lesson!" He screams. Everyone is quiet. "Thank you. As most of you have seen, we have a guest today. Please welcome Shawn Mendes and his friend Nash." Everyone cheers and claps. "Okay, that's enough. I see you guys don't really pay attention to me, but to mr Mendes. I think it's better to work on our exam play today. 

After one hour and a half the class is finally finished. Shawn hands out some signatures and we walk outside. Finally some time for us together. Kyra and Nash decided to grab some coffee together, so it's Shawn, me and the bodyguard. That damn bodyguard. We never get privacy. He needs to 'protect' Shawn from some wild animals, called fans. Shawn is talking with him, while I'm checking my phone. I got tagged in more than thousand pictures. Some are from today, at school. I try to like as much as possible, but it really is impossible. My dms are full of strangers. I was used to some fanart, some weird people in my dm, but not this. Thousands of girls are trying to talk to me. Some of them are even threatening me. I sigh and turn off my phone.

P.O.V SHAWN 

"No, we just want to go in town." "It's to dangerous." "No it's not. At home I can go myself too. I'm not sixteen anymore." I sigh and turn around. That bodyguard is annoying me already. I have to tour with him for six more months. Emily is looking annoyed as well. "Come with me," I whisper into her ear. I grab her hand and get in the car. "The idea is: when we get in the parking lot, we run away as fast as possible." Emily giggles. "What?" "You sound like a twelve year old boy trying to run away from his mom." I sigh, but smile. "That's exactly my plan." 

We arrive in the parking lot. I grab Emily's hand and try to not make it obvious. The bodyguard is talking to Andrew. He stops the car and opens his door. I open the one on Emilys side. We both jump out and run away. I hear the bodyguard screaming behind me. He's not fit enough to keep up to us. 

We keep running until we're in the centre. I laugh, we got rid of the bodyguard very easily. Emily is out of breath. "Shawn, why did we do that? You're in big trouble now." she says laughing. "I had to do something, they didn't let me go." I say as we walk through the streets. I suddenly remember why I'm not allowed to go on my own. The fans. They surround me and Emily almost immediately. "Uh, Shawn?" Emily says, holding my hand tight. I take some pictures with some of them, but after a few minutes I pull Emily and me through the crowd.

The starbucks is the first shop we see. The crew of the starbucks close the doors behind us. Emily reconizes someone. "Hey Diane! How are you?!" she yells. "Em! Hey! I'm good! I see you took your fanbase with you." Diane answers laughing. "It's not mine, it's his." Emily says, pointing at me. "Nice! What is it for you two today?" "An iced frappuchino for me please, and just a regular coffee for him." I sit down at a table far away from the window. The fans outside are slowly moving away. I get a call.

"Shawn! Where are you?!" "I'm at starbucks with Emily." "Why did you run away?! The bodyguard was scared that he totally lost you." "Because he didn't let us go into the centre, I even asked him to go with us but he didn't want to." "We were supposed to meet each other in the parking lot, and I would take you back to Belgium since we have a show there tomorrow." "Sorry Andrew, I'll meet you in 20 minutes" "You better d-" I close my eyes for a couple seconds. "Shawn? Are you okay?" Emily asks when she puts our coffee on the table. "Yes, yes I'm fine." "Who called you?" "Andrew, he wants to meet me in twenty minutes in the parking lot. I have to go back to Belgium." She takes my hand. "I love you Shawn,"
