Fame | Shawn Mendes

Chapter 9; Videos & Honored

"Yea?" I asked as I pressed the phone to my ear.

"Hey Mila, it's Mark. You'll be back Tuesday right?"

"Yea, my flight should arrive around 1pm."

"Alright. I'll give you Tuesday off and on Wednesday we'll have a meeting and afterwards cast a few boys for your song 'BOYS' alright? We want you to help pick them is that alright with you?" Mark asked and I already knew about my upcoming music video and the rumored casting.

"Of course. Watching boys all day and getting to pick all the hot ones? I'm in!" I cheekily smiled at my friends and wiggled my eyebrows making them roll their eyes. Boys apparently don't like having girls talk about hot boys.

Mark chuckled and told me he would text me the details soon before hanging up.

The girls a few rows behind me were listening to music and put is on speaker so everyone could hear and suddenly my jam came on.

You've got a hold on me. Don't even know your power.

I snapped my head up from my phone and all the boys were already looking at me, waiting for me to start singing because they knew I couldn't resist Shawn Mendes.

"I'm saying baby please have mercy on me! Taking it easy on my heart! Even though you don't mean to hurt me! You keep tearing me apart!"

I sang passionatly as I turned to the girls who were all singing along. We were all screaming out the lyrics doing some weird moves in our seats until the song was over. Everyone knew how much I love Shawn and the day I finally saw him at the charity event I freaked out and called my friends when I got home.

I kind of left him hanging after he told me that it was nice of me to buy the meet & greet for that little girl. I said thanks before walking off towards Harry who was shaking his head laughing at me.

I talked a while with the boys and sang along quietly to a few songs they were playing.

"Let's do something tomorrow or the day after. I'll leave Tuesday and I want to spend some time with you before leaving," I told the girls & boys. They separately agreed so I was doing something with the boys tomorrow and the girls the day after.

I also squeezed some time in for my mom who wanted to go shopping and all that stuff.

I heard Kyra, Jane & Delilah whispering to each other, making me frown. I wanted to listen but got interrupted by Jason who started talking highly of his girlfriend. I can't believe that fucker got a girlfriend before I got a proper boyfriend.

We still had an hour to pass so I went on Twitter and looked through some tweets. I followed a Jamila News page and saw videos of me singing in the bus. How did they get that.

Via: BellaC23

Of course. Bella and her other friends were snap queens and I just knew I was being filmed whilst screaming out lyrics. They also filmed me when I was quietly humming some songs. The only thing I was sure of was that they didn't mean for it to get out and all over social media and I wasn't mad just surprised to see this.

"Bella get your snapchat under control," I laughed at her as she blushed before apologizing. I waved her off telling her that it was fine before scrolling through the videos.

Half an our later Kyra screamed in my ear telling me to look on twitter. I did with a confused expression until I came across a certain tweet.

@/JamilaNews: Jamila singing 'Mercy' on a bus with her friends! @/ShawnMendes you should feel honored 😍

The video was attached to it and he actually replied to it.

@/ShawnMendes: Wow! I really do feel honored. She has an amazing voice! X

My mouth hung open as I looked at the screen. Oh. My. God.

"Don't freak out Jams, please," Jason begged chuckling as I lifted my head to look at him. I nodded slowly and grinned happily. "I really need to learn how to be around celebrities and not freak out when they mention me."

Literally everyone who heard us agreed, making me roll my eyes. I wasn't that bad.

"5 minutes until we arrive," the bus driver announced, making all of us cheer. I couldn't survive any longer on this bus with these idiots I call my friends. The bus came to an halt and we all gathered our things before getting out one by one. I prayed that no paparazzi would be here but as always I was wrong.

They weren't obvious, though. As I exited the bus I spotted flashes from farther away behind a car and some on the other side. I held backpack in front of my face because I looked like shit before trying to navigate my way to my mother who was most probably with one of the bodyguards.

"Mila!"

I turned around and spotted my mom, waving happily. I grinned and walked towards her and my bodyguard James before she pulled me into a hug. James went to get my luggage after arguing with me because I could do it myself you know.

"Mom?" I asked with a smirk.

"Yes honey?"

"Can we order domino's pizza, pretty please?" I stuck my bottom lip out, making her sigh. She didn't get to see me that often so I knew she would want to make me happy any chance she got. "Sure."

I grinned and hugged her again. After I said goodbye to my friends I left with my mom and James who brought us home safely.

"See you Tuesday," I waved at James but he just shook his head, smiling. "See you tomorrow, Jammy," he said before driving off. Jammy? Really James?

"Why tomorrow?" I asked my mom as I plopped down on the couch and turned the TV on. "He'll accompany you and your friends," mom told me as she dialed the numer to order pizza. "No! Mom please I want to normally go out with my friends," I groaned but she wasn't having it. Typical.

Later that night I was laying in my bed exhausted until I got a facetime call from no other then my beloved Harriet.

"Helloooooo!" Harry dragged out his greeting as he waved at the camera. "Hey," I plopped back down on the matress and waved back.

"How's it going, Miles?"

"I'm tired and mad because James has to accompany when I'll meet my friends tomorrow and probably the day after," I groaned and covered my face with my arm. "It's for your own safety. Believe me, sometimes you'll be glad that you'll have a bodyguard by your side."

"But it's a day out with friends," I argued even though I knew he had a point. I was kind of creeped out by all these paparazzi.

"Everyone knows you're in Austin so they will find you and we don't want you to get mobbed and have paparazzi get too close. That's the negative side of fulfilling this job but I know you love it and wouldn't have it any other way."

It was true. I loved to do what I do and to see all these fans who support me and my career. It's amazing.

"I'm coming on Tuesday around 1pm. Will we see each other?" I asked him as he stuffed food in his mouth. "I could pick you up and then we could go to starbucks?" He suggested with his eyebrow raised.

"Sounds good. Don't be late Harriet," I warned with a tired smile.

"I would never Miles. Good night," he waved and made a kissing sound before hanging up. I put my phone down and soon after I had closed my eyes I was falling into a deep sleep.
