Fame | Shawn Mendes

Chapter 37; Sick & Festival

"Uhm, do you mind staying here?" I asked and the second I had finished the sentence I was literally punching myself mentally for even asking that. Oh god, what did I just do?

"Sure," he agreed quietly.

He closed the curtain of his own bunk and I scooted a little towards the wall so he could have some space. What the hell was I thinking? Why did he even agree?

He returned and laid beside me. I was wrapped in the blankets so there was no body contact, at all. After a few minutes of silence however he ended up under the sheets and had his arm around me as I was laying my head on his biceps.

"Shawn?" I whispered, quietly that I almost thought he didn't hear.

"Yea?"

"Will you teach me how to play piano?" I asked, feeling like I was already asleep and that I was dreaming that. "Of course. Now go to sleep," he said and not even a second later I was out of lights.

-

I woke up with a throbbing headache. Oh god, why is this happening to me.

I groaned and placed my hand on my forehead just when I felt something tickling my arm. I opened my eyes and noticed that I wasn't alone. I turned my head to the left and saw Shawn with his mouth slightly open as he was still sleeping.

I felt like crap.

Without even thinking I rolled to the left and wrapped my arm over his stomach since I usually was cuddling a pillow while I was sleeping but it wasn't there.

I was shivering so I cuddled closer and Shawn's body warmth was actually warming me up a little. His arm tightened on my back and I guess I woke him up.

"Are you awake?" he whispered close to my ear, making me shiver. I hummed in responds, letting him know that I was.

"How are you feeling?" he asked as he moved his arm up to my head and placed his hand on forehead. I just groaned, not wanting to speak right now.

"You're burning," he sighed and wrapped his arm back around my waist. I pulled the covers over my head and let out another groan.

"I wish I could help you but I just don't know what to do."

"It's okay," I mumbled.

"Alright guys, wake up!" Andrew said loudly so everyone would wake up, including me since I either wake up at the quietest noise or not even when there's a storm outside.

"Mila?" I heard Andrew asking. I heard the curtain open and I pushed the blanket from my head. "Huh?"

"Oh, I didn't know you guys...Uhm," Andrew rumbled, not knowing what to say as he saw that Shawn was here. "She had a nightmare and she's really sick," Shawn told Andrew, making him nod in thought.

"You should rest, maybe you'll get better for the show but if not then I'm afraid you can't perform today," Andrew said, making me groan again.

"How about you guys get up now and Mila you can lay on the couch and someone will make you some breakfast alright?"

We agreed and crawled out of the bunk. Shawn went to get ready while I had the blankets wrapped around me and laid down on the couch where Geoff & Mike sat.

I turned the TV on and watched some movie with Adam Sandler. "Not feeling better I see," Andre said as he came up the stairs with a sandwich and a tea. "I don't think you can perform today," Andre said and I knew he was right but I really want to perform.

I ate my food and drank my tea as everyone else was either having a conversation or eating breakfast downstairs. "I suggest you get ready so we can go to the venue. Or if you want you can stay here and either Theo or I will stay with you. It's up to you."
