The One? //Shawn Mendes

•chapter 62•

Morgan's POV

It is finally show day. Macey and I are put our things on the tour bus. Now we are backstage.

The whole crew is setting up the stage, lighting, cameras, etc. It's looking great so far.

I sit down at the small black sofa on my phone.

@MorganJ: almost show time! London I hope y'all will be loud as ever! See you guys soon xx

"Why am I getting so nervous?" I ask Macey.

"Its last minute jitters. That's all. Now you have you meet and greet starting in 30. Go get your hair and makeup done." She demands.

"Jeez okay." I say.

-

Its meet and greet time. I haven't done this since magcon. I'm actually really excited to meet so many fans and supporters. It's like the best part.

"First person!" A security guard says opening the curtain.

A short girl walks in. She has very blonde hair and blue eyes. Her mouth hangs open and then she smiles showing her braces.

"Hi beautiful." I say smiling at her.

"Hi!" She says stunned.

"Come over here and take a picture." I say laughing a little.

She nods, still smiling, and walks over to my side.

She doesn't have any certain pose so we just take a normal picture.

"Thank you. I love you so much. Your music is amazing." She says.

"Thank you, gorgeous. I love you too and your accent." I laugh.

"Thank you. You're so much prettier in person. You are so sweet. Now I know why Shawn loved you so much." She says. "I'm Kelly by the way."

"Well it was very nice meeting you Kelly. I hope you enjoy the show." I say smiling.

"I will. You'll do amazing." She says walking off.

-

I walk back behind the stage and see Macey sitting on the couch.

"So how was it?" She asks.

"Nearly every person mentioned something about him." I sigh sitting on the couch.

"Still not saying his name, huh?" She asks.

"It hurts too much." I say.

"That's okay. Just forget about that. You just met a bunch of supporters. Tell me some positive things about meeting them." Macey says.

"They're all so cute. Either my age or younger or a bit older. I loved their parents too. Loved all their accents. Mostly girls but some guys too. They were all so sweet." I say.

"See you'll have a great show." She says.

"Johnson! Sound check in 5!" A guy says. I nod my head.

I stand up and walk over to the stage.

"Will the people waiting in line be able to hear me soundcheck?" I ask.

"Yes everyone in this building will be able to." The sound guy says.

I just nod nervously.

"You'll do fine. It's just soundcheck." Macey reassures me.

I walk into the stage and place myself in front of the mic.

"Okay Morgan. Pick three songs and sing them hun!" Elizabeth says sitting in a chair in the front row.

I pick three and start singing.

"See you did great and it was only soundcheck!" Macey says as I finish.

"Thanks." I say smiling.

I'm ready for this show.

"People are posting things everywhere. Security guards are supposed to make sure they aren't in case you were singing a new song or something. But they are going crazy." Macey laughs.

"I'm excited for this show, Macey. You have no idea." I say.

-

"Show time in 5, Johnson!" A guy yells.

I stand up and take a deep breath. The sound person hooks me up with all this stuff.

"You'll do amazing out there, Morgan! I'll be right back here watching you nail this." Macey says.

"You'll blow London away, love." Elizabeth says.

"Thanks guys. I'm nervous as hell but also so excited." I laugh.

"She's good." The sound person says.

Wardrobe and makeup and hair come over to me to make any last minute changes. The fix me up a bit and then I'm good.

"Looking as gorgeous as ever, best friend. You got this." Macey says.

I smile at her and nod.

"3."

"2."

"1."

-

"You did amazing!" Macey squeals.

"You absolutely killed it out there!" Elizabeth says.

"Thank you guys." I say out of breath.

"You got a text from a person by the way. I think you might wanna read it." Macey says.

I nod and pick up my phone to read the text.

Shawn: hey. good luck tonight at your show. London is a great city. you'll do amazing.

Shawn: I know I'm coming out of no where but saw some videos from your show. you did amazing. knew you would nail it.

"What is this? He thinks he can just text me out of no where being all nice? Macey that's not fair. That's not fair to me. I'm trying to move on." I say tears starting to fill my eyes.

"I know. I know." She says trying to hug me.

"I'm gonna go on the tour bus. Come whenever." I say about to walk out.

"You can't. Fans will get in your way." Elizabeth says.

"Then get me a security guard. I don't care. I'm going on the tour bus." I say.

I get walked out and onto my tour bus with three security guards. It was hard to push all the fans and paparazzi back. But they did it and I'm on the tour bus now. By myself.

Macey's POV

"What the hell were you thinking?" I scream into the phone.

"What?" He asks.

"Shawn you can't just text her out of the blue like that! You know what that just did to her? She's trying her very best to get over you. That's not fair to her. Do you know how hard she's been working? You can't do that! You're the one who broke up with her if I have to remind you. You can't take that back." I say.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think that would hurt her. She just did amazing tonight and-" I stop him.

"And nothing Mendes! You ended it. That's not my problem. I know you saw that cover she posted not too long ago. I know you know that it's about you. I know you saw her tears. I know you saw the hurt in her. You did that Shawn. You. Not anyone else. You did that to her because you were too scared of the long distance. She wasn't. She told me so many times that she was at first scared but then she focused on the love you guys had for each other. She said nothing could mess up what you guys had. She was so willing to make it all work. You are both following your dreams. But Shawn you only followed one dream and gave up on the other." I say.

"I-I'm-I-don't even know what to say." He says.

"Yea I know you don't." I say.

"Bye Shawn. Don't text Morgan like that again. Or at all." I say and hang up.
