Soon, everyone was filing in to the arena. It was crazy how big it looked, now.

"Hey, there's no opening act! Shawn's just gonna come out! That's awesome!" I cheered, taking my heel off and examining my foot. It looked normal, it just hurt. I'd probably have a little limp.

"Yeah, even I'm excited! Who thought backstage passes to a Shawn concert would be our first date?" Brendon chuckled, kissing me quickly.

"Wait, I'm sorry to eavesdrop, but this is only your first date?" The tall one asked. I nodded and smiled, holding on to Brendon's hand.

"Yes, we've been together for a week now, but we didn't need a first date to tell us we were meant to be together." I smiled, and they both "awed" together.

"You two are really cute! I wonder what your babies will look like." My hand tensed up and I gave Brendon a worried look. He knit his eyebrows and tilted his head.

"What's wrong, Fae?" I bit my lip and sighed.

"Just... the thought of carrying a baby scares me!" I shivered, causing him to laugh.

"N-not that I don't want to have kids, it's just that I'd be scared, you know?" He chuckled and nodded, kissing my cheek.

"We've only been together for a week, there's no need to panic about kids or anything, that's all in the future." He reassured me, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear. My cheeks flushed and I relaxed, sitting normally and resting my head on his arm.

"What time is it?" I asked loudly, just to speak over all the chit chat among the huge arena. Brendon checked his watch and leaned in.

"Eight o' three," He whispered. I nodded and felt the butterflies grow in my stomach.

"Oh my!" Right as the words left my mouth, the lights dimmed and everyone started to yell, even me.

"Woo! Go Shawn!" I screamed, causing Brendon to chuckle. His hand came behind me and wrapped around my shoulder, giving it a tight squeeze. He crossed his legs and stared to bounce his foot around. Shawn walked out and the arena boomed louder with cries and cheers. He walked towards a stool with a guitar stand. When he sat down, the cheers had died down a little bit.

"This song is called Stitches," he whispered, grabbing the guitar and starting to play the beat of the song to his guitar. Everyone screamed once he started singing and I felt something in me sing along, like I was a fourteen-year-old at boy's concert. That goes for over three quarters of the people here. I laughed at that and felt the butterflies grow in my stomach.

"I feel young again!" I yelled to Brendon, who just laughed. His arm was still behind me, and he was rubbing my shoulder.

"You watch me bleed until I can't breathe. I'm shaking falling onto my knees. And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches!" If it weren't for the power of the microphone, everyone in the crowd would be over lapping Shawn's voice.

The next song was Treat you better, and the set list continued. It felt like he was flying through all the songs. After that was lost in Japan; something big; mercy; falling all in you, life of the party; in my blood; I know what you did last summer (with the help of the recording of Camila's parts,) and now I was sitting here, my voice tired from singing, wondering what the next song is.

"This next song is dedicated to a girl who I met this morning. She was going through a rough time, so I thought I'd cheer her up, and there she is, right in the front row. Faelecia, I dedicate Nervous to you. Come up here!" He laughed, and everyone stared to scream. I looked at Brendon with wide eyes. He was laughing, helping me up. Shawn reached his hand out for me, and Brendon was helping me get up the stairs.

"You take good care of her!" Brendon yelled over the cheering, playfully threatening Shawn.

"Will do!" Shawn winked to Brendon. The lights were blinding, so I turned to Shawn. He smiled and hugged me again. I barely walked so I couldn't tell if my limp was bad.

"Glad to see you again!" Shawn laughed, handing me a microphone. I giggled and smiled wide.

"Thanks for having me! I-I didn't know you'd call me up on stage..." I said, getting used to the sound of the microphone. I looked at Brendon who had the biggest, proudest smile slapped on his handsome face.

"C'mon! Anything for a friend! Anyone you wanna shout out right now?" Shawn joked. I nodded and pointed to Brendon.

"I just want to tell you, over a microphone, on stage at a Shawn Mendes concert, in front of twenty-thousand people, that I love you, with everything in me!" He chuckled and held up a heart. Everyone "awed" followed with a few laughs.

"So cute! So, how does the stage feel?" Shawn asked, pulling up another stool for me to sit on.

"It feels weird... the lights are bright! And everyone's looking at me. Never mind, some people are looking at me while others are drooling over you." I joked, causing an eruption of laughter from the crowd.

"Jeez, I feel like an interviewer right now!" Laughing, he pointed to one of the guitarists in the back.

"You mind playing Nervous for me this one time?" The guy nodded and soon the song started to play. Shawn stood up, causing me to stand up as well. I turned my mic off and put it on the stool.

"I saw you on a Friday, in a café," He purposely changed the lyric for me, causing me to giggle. My legs shook, but I was able to stay still. He smiled at me the entire time, watching as I sang along to the song.

"I get a little bit nervous, around you. I get a little bit stressed out, when I think about you! Get a little excited baby, when I think about you ooh!" I couldn't believe Shawn did this. My eyes adjusted to the light as I looked at Brendon, who was singing along, smiling at me. My heart warmed up and I almost felt like crying.

"I talk a little too much, I talk a little too much! I get a little self conscious, I get a little self conscious when I think about you! I get a little excited, I get a little excited, baby when I think about you ooh! Yeah when I think about you babe!" The use of the word "Babe" coming out of Shawn's mouth sent shivers down my spine.

"Thank you so much, Fae!" We hugged again. I stood on the end of my toes just to get to Shawn's shoulders. He was almost a foot taller than me, which made me feel smaller. But with my heels, he was about half a foot taller than me. We hugged for four seconds, and then latched off.

"Thank you so much for this life changing experience!" I smiled, waiting for him to lead me off stage. He grabbed onto my hand and Brendon reached to the stairs. I slowly started to walk down and Brendon's grip on my waist became stronger and easier to hold. I sat back down and the girls beside me were screaming, causing me to laugh.

"Did you get any of that?" He nodded and pressed a kiss to my lips.

"Give it up for Faelecia and Brendon!" Shawn yelled, causing everyone to erupt into howls.

"Your reaction was so priceless!" Brendon laughed, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Oh my god! Shawn was singing to you!" The tall girl yelled. I giggled and nodded.

"And you hugged him twice!" The shorter one interrupted. I turned my attention back to Shawn, who winked at me and started to speak.

"This is the last one. It's called there's nothing holdin' me back, sing along if you know the lyrics!"
