Fame | Shawn Mendes

Chapter 29; Poor Theo & Mom

"Oh my god, he will kill us," I breathed unevenly after running with Andre. It was late in the evening and we were back at the Plaza Mayor. However, Andre & I ran away the moment Theo looked away.

Revenge Number 5.

"I hope he'll cry," Andre blurted out, making me laugh. "Poor Theo," I pouted but it was my idea so I really couldn't say anything about it. We hid behind a tourist sign but to be honest I had already lost Theo out of my sight.

"He's calling," Andre giggled like a school girl, making me giggle as well. "Oh my god! I could ran to him and tell him you're gone. Like I could freak out and stuff," Andre suggested with an evil smirk.

"You evil man...Let's do it!"

Andre grinned and waved at me before running off. I spotted Theo and he looked freaked out as Andre talked to him. My phone rang a couple of times but I put it on mute and watched Theo & Andre walking around, trying to find me.

This place was huge so I came out of my hiding spot and walked around a bit by myself.

"Oh my god! Are you Jamila?"

I turned around and spotted a group of girls, staring at me with their jaws dropped.

"I am," I confirmed with a nod.

"Can we take a picture with you?" One of them asked. "I'm sorry girls. I can't take pictures with you today, I'm not feeling so great but I could sign something if you guys want," I offered, hoping that they would understand and surprisingly they did. Oh I love my fans.

I talked with them a little but more and more fans spotted me, asking for pictures and autographs. The group of five girls now turned into a group of thirty and the group of thirty slowly turned into a group of almost fifty.

They all started pushing each other, making me realize that I didn't even had a bodyguard around to at least help me escape. "Hey! Stop pushing each other. I'm right here and everyone who got an autograph, would you please back up a little so everyone can have their turn? I have to leave soon but please be careful and stop pushing."

A few people listened and I continued signing a few things before it got even more crowded. I knew by now that I had to leave but that wasn't as easy as I had thought.

"Alright guys, I really have to leave now. I love you all."

I started pushing through the crowd until I finally got out and started running. A few of them ran after me but others came and told them to leave me alone since I had already taken a lot of time for them and stuff.

I looked around until I was Theo & Andre farther away from where I was. I ran towards them and jumped on Theo's back screaming, "It's a prank!"

"Fuck you," he breathed out as he pushed me & Andre. We were laughing our butts off.

"I almost had a panic attack! I was like 'What are we going to tell management' and stuff. Don't you ever do that again," Theo scolded me. "It was your revenge so I'm not really sorry," I explained myself with a big smile.

"We should go to the hotel it's getting late and people are taking loads of pictures of you," Andre said as he looked around. He was right, people were staring and holding their phones up at me.

On our way back to the hotel I got a call from my friends who where in school so they all got to talk to me. I told them where I was and had a small talk about tour while they filled me in on the latest drama from school.

I was also told that Delilah and Kyra aren't friends anymore. That's also the reason why she broke the contact with me, oh well.

It didn't take us long to arrive at the hotel but when we got in we saw everyone at the bar, talking, laughing and having the time of their lives.

"You guys can go. Just tell them I felt sick," I said after looking at them to see that they really wanted to join the fun.

"Just come with us. They don't know it's your birthday but I'm sure at least one of them will check on you if you tell them you're sick."

"Fine," I agreed with a sigh and followed Theo & Andre to where Shawn's family and the crew sat.

"Hey guys!" Geoff greeted as he saw us first. Everyone's head turned towards us and Shawn got up before saying, "Mom, Dad, Aaliyah these are Theo, Andre & Jamila," he introduced.

"Aaliyah is a huge fan," Shawn said as he smirked at his little sister. "Shawn," she hissed and glared at him, making me smile. "Thanks," I said and greeted their parents.

"What did you guys do today?" Andrew asked as we sat down. I sat right in between Shawn's mom Karen and Shawn's sister Aaliyah. I felt really uncomfortable but I will get over it it's not like they weren't nice or anything.

"We explored the city and went to a nice restaurant," Andre told them. I nodded along as Theo & Andre told them about cool things we had seen today and how great the food was.

"How do you survive being on the road with these guys?" Aaliyah asked me after a while of me just listening to everything.

"Well, since I'm the only girl, I have an advantage because they would do anything to not see me upset. I love them all, already and it hasn't even been that long but it's actually pretty funny, except for all the farts and the messy tour bus."

Aaliyah laughed at my comment but agreeing anyways. She knew them longer than me after all.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in my head.

"Do you mind helping me with something?"

I filled her in on my plan and she nodded, excitedly. Revenge Number 6. In the making.

Suddenly my phone buzzed and I looked at the screen to see that my mom had send me a picture. I opened it and it was a picture with her, holding a picture collage of me with the caption 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'.

I read the sweet message attached to it, making me tear up so I quickly excused myself and sat on a couch farther away form everyone else.

My baby, you're already seventeen years old and I can't tell you enough how much I love you since the moment you laid in my arms and held onto my finger with your tiny hand. I love you with all my heart. I miss you every day I don't get to see you (which is often since you're living your dream) However, I'm the proudest mom on this world and I wish I could be there for you with every step you take. We both know it hasn't always been easy for us but you helped me through everything I've ever had to live through without you even knowing. Just looking at you when you were younger made me realize that I had to take good care of you and that I would do anything in my power to raise you the way I thought was right. I'm sure I did a good job because you're the most amazing person there is, apart from myself of course. ;)
I love you and Happy Birthday wishes your cool af Mom ♥

My eyes were sweating as I read her message and made me laugh as she considered herself cooler than myself and she literally used 'af'. I'd never thought she would but she wasn't one of the older mom's, she was only thirty-four.

I send her a selfie with me blowing her a kiss and told her how much I loved her. Without looking back at everyone I left and got to my room where I went to sleep right away. Even if I couldn't celebrate my birthday with my mom I still had a good day and no one could ever take her away from me.

She meant the world to me.
