"I can't take this." I looked down looking at the record label papers in my hands. "Amanda, what are you doing?" I glanced to my left as Shawn stood there in disbelief. Thousands of eyes staring at me and hundreds of questions roamed the air. I took a deep breath, and knew even though I have to let Shawn go, it doesn't mean I wanted too. "Shawn deserves this. Not me. I mean look at me." I laughed to myself. "It's just not my time yet." I bit the bottom of lip. I have loved, dreamed, and prayed for this moment to sign with a record label because I have worked from nothing, and as much as Shawn is a pain in my ass, I fell in love with him. I fell so in love with him that I have to give this up because his soul was music. His heart was music. His love was music. Everything, everything I absolutely couldn't compete with. "Here." I handed Shawn the papers and began to clap as everyone in the crowd roared with excitement. They wanted him to get it all along, and that was okay. Sadness filled his eyes, I looked at him one last hoping one day he'll realize what I did and why I did it, but as for right now, that's not gonna happen. I swallowed my tears, turning my back and walked off the stage.
