The Girl With The Voice (A Shawn Mendes Fanfic)

Chapter 9

~~~~~~~NOT EDITED~~~~~~~

"Y/N?" Shawn says. His voice clearly shaking.

"Yeah. Shawn?" I say.

"I'm sorry." He says.

"Why would you be sorry?" I ask.

"For not telling the truth." He says scratching the back of his neck.

"The truth about what?" I ask questionably.

"The kiss." He says as he looks me in the eyes.

I stand there, not knowing what to say. So I decide to just walk away to break the awkwardness, but he stops me.

"Stay. I have something to say." He says holding my arm.

I nod reluctantly in agreement.

"Y/N? To be honest, you are the most beautiful, nice, and talented girl I've ever known. I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan of yours, I'm saying it because it's true. You are perfect. Maybe not in your eyes, but in mine you're the definition and more. That kiss meant something to me. Something that I can barely explain. Yes, I do regret that kiss, but not because I didn't like it. It's because I don't want things to be awkward between us. And I would like us to become closer and get to know each other better....if that's okay with you."

I didn't say a word. I just jumped in his arms and hugged him as tight as I could.

"So..Do you still want to meet the guys later today?"

"OF COURSE!" I practically screamed.

"Okay. Okay. Not so pushy." He said with a laugh.

"Oh..and here is your phone." He says handing it to me.

"Thank ya!" I say with a smile.

As he handed me my phone, an announcement came on. It said, 'All performers need to come to the stage at this time. All performers need to come to the stage at this time. Thank you." And at that moment I instantly became nervous. I've never ever sang in front of an audience and I was really scared. All kinds of thoughts were running through my head like 'What if I mess up?' 'What if they don't like me?' and a lot more negative things. I guess Shawn saw the worried look on my face because he instantly told me everything would be fine. So we started walking back and he held my hand for comfort, I think. And after that he started to say something.

"Ya know? I was pretty nervous when I first performed inform of an audience. And I still do, to be honest." He spoke lightly.

"You were?" I say shocked. Shawn seriously doesn't look like a guy to get nervous.

"Yeah. And no matter how many times you do it, you still get nervous. It's perfectly normal. Trust me." He smiled.

"Okay. I just hope I don't mess up." I say as I droop my head.

"You'll do fine, I promise. And if something goes wrong just call me up there and I'll help you." He says.

"Okay. But I still don't know what to sing."

How about 'All of Me' or 'Stay with Me'? I think you sing your heart out with those two, to be honest." He says.

"But that was like one of my first covers." I say shocked.

"Yeah. I've watched every one of your videos." He says with his cute self.

"Wow! You really are a dedicated fan!" I say pinching his blushing red cheeks.

By the time we got to the stage, there was people rushing us asking us different questions. I told them the song I was doing 'All of Me' by John Legend. Aftterwards, they took me to the room I woke up in, and touched up my hair and makeup and changed my clothes. Before I knew it, a man came in and said, "Two minutes remaining," and then the butterflies came back, but in a bigger swarm. They finally pushed me out the door and that's when I realized, it was my turn to go on stage.
