Not all people have perfect lives. Sometimes life can be difficult, and at times, life can be awesome. But not mine. I always wake up to life giving me the hardest experiences. And to top all of that, I can't fight back. Well, not yet. Then suddenly, a certain someone changed my life. He changed things that I didn't even know it could change. I never knew falling in love could be so tiring. But people shouldn't be 'falling' in love. Because everything that falls, breaks. And so it all started. Falling For You.

Jess was just the average Shawn Mendes fan who was going to a concert and meet and greet. But when he takes a liking in her, things change. Dramatically.

[Winner of The Fanfiction Award 2017 for Best Magcon/OGOC Fanfiction] Sadie Salvay, a girl who is never in trouble. A girl who was never asked on a date, knew a guy who liked her, or even had her first kiss. A girl who never had music in her life. At least, that was until she heard a single song, and everything changed. Sadie never understood how other girls could be so crazy over bands and celebrities. She thought that these girls were silly, and that all celebrities were fake and had egos bigger than the planet. However, that was only until she laid her eyes on Shawn Mendes for the very first time while watching a videoclip, and then she couldn't take him off her mind, or pass a day without listening to his songs. They made her feel better, feel happier. She believed on the guy she saw on the screen of her phone, but a bugging doubt was still on the back of her mind: is this all real? Is he exactly who he makes me believe he is? Or did media manipulate me in a way that makes me believe that Shawn is who I think he is? And from that moment onwards, she knew that she had to meet him or at least see him live, no matter what. After a long wait, that moment has come. She was certain that this would be one of the best days of her life. However, she didn't know that it was going to be so much more than that. It was just the beginning of a whole new chapter in her life. Though will the changes after that day be for the better, or the worse?

"Would you please have mercy on me? I'm a puppet on your string...." ••• I had to be smart and really think about it, "We break up after eight months, nothing longer. Everything is for show and when we're not in public nothing happens. You have your life and I'll have mine." He nodded, "There's a couple of things I have as well. You'll be living with me, don't worry we'll have separate rooms. When in public don't talk unless spoken to. You don't try anything funny in public, I'm allowed to bring any girl I want home. And you are not to develop feelings for me." He smirked at the last part. I rolled my eyes at how full of himself he is, "Don't worry I'll restrain myself." He chuckled, "Great so do we have a deal?" He asked extending his hand out to me. ••• Started 8.20.16 || Finished 4.24.17
