Treat You Better - A Shawn Mendes Fanfic ✔️
[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?
