Fame | Shawn Mendes

Chapter 39; Studio & Restaurant

"Wow, this album is going to be amazing," Theo clapped as we finished recording another song. "Thanks! I'm so excited for this album," I told him and sat down on the couch next to him.

We were currently in the studio, recording Album Number 2 in London and so far I absolutely love it and I can't wait for everyone to hear it.

"Harry is picking me up for dinner with Andre & Lauren, wanna come?" I asked Theo as I grabbed my jacket and pulled it on. "Nah, me and the guys are in for a night out today," Theo told me and nodded his head towards my band.

So I had a lot of problems with my band because my keyboarder Brian had some family issues and can't be in the band anymore so we had to replace him and guess who had a hidden talent in playing the keys?

Of course, Theo did so now he's the keyboarder in my band and occasionally the violinist but we did have a backup keyboarder if I needed all of them on stage and obviously Theo can't play both at the same time.

However, my management had it all figured out so I didn't have anything to do with that. My management had changed my band a couple of times in the beginning but now it was all settled.

Theo was my keyboarder & violinist. Kyle was my guitarist. Adam my drummer and Nick my bassist. I get along with them really well and we did a lot of great music together.

"Alright, see you guys tomorrow!" I called and left the studio. I spotted Harry's car in front of the studio and I walked towards it and got in. "Hey," I greeted as he drove off. "Hey, how's the album process going?"

"Great! I love the songs and I can't wait for everyone to hear them."

"That's awesome. Tomorrow are rehearsals right?" Harry asked and I nodded. Tomorrow are rehearsals for the Capital Summer Time Ball and I'm so nervous and excited you can't imagine. I mean, singing in front of around 80 thousand people is a big deal, isn't it?

"By the way, Shawn texted me today," Harry said after a few minutes of silence. "Oh," was all I said before turning the radio on. "He asked if you were okay after we suddenly left after the concert and also why you don't answer his texts."

"I told you I wanted to sleep," I lied and honestly it was hard to lie to him or even Theo, Andre & Lauren. You would think I told them about the...kiss but I didn't. I couldn't.

I pulled away and kind of ran off that night and I haven't talked nor seen him since then but I'm just scared of what he's going to say. Will he tell me that I should stay away from him? Will he tell me that he feels the same way? I don't know and I'm scared to find out.

That night I wrote a song. A song that I like to think is really powerful and strong. It's called 'Adrenaline' and it's mainly about stuff that you would actually never do but when you feel the adrenaline you just forget about the consequences and you also can't think straight because there's literally nothing in your head.

The song can be related to a lot of different situations. It's personal but not too personal that everyone would know about what exactly I've written the song.

You could think it's about bungee jumping or meeting someone you see as your idol. It's all possible and that's what I think makes the song so powerful. Because it's relatable.

We soon arrived at the restaurant and unfortunately paparazzi were already waiting at the entrance. We parked right in front and Harry handed his keys to a valet. Two bodyguards pushed us through the men who tried to get the best pictures they could possibly sell.

I held onto the back of Harry's jacket and held my head down because they don't deserve to get a great picture of me since they were literally pushing me like an animal. We entered the restaurant and immediately spotted Lauren & Andre at the back of the restaurant.

"Hey," I greeted them happily and sat down in front of Lauren while Harry sat down in front of Andre. We ordered our food before we started a conversation.

"So Lauren & I are leaving the day after the Capital Summer Time Ball and we need to know if you will leave with us or stay?"

"Either the same day or the day after, whatever fits," I answered with ease because I really wanted to get home as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll see what I can arrange and then I'll text you the details, sounds good?" Andre asked, making me nod in responds.

We talked a little while about what I was going to be doing home and also what Andre, Lauren & Harry would be doing. Andre &Lauren's plans were kinda lame just exploring some nature and restaurants.

Harry on the other hand was going to be doing loads of promo for his movie 'Dunkirk' and he also will be attending the three premieres in London, Dunkirk & New York. I was really excited to see the movie and I also couldn't wait to meet Fionn Whitehead.

He seems like a cutie and he's not so bad looking either.

We soon got our food and ate with just little conversation. I told them about my new album and also about the songs I've written recently. Harry talked a little about where he was touring this and next year which was also really exciting and Lauren & Andre talked about what they've seen the past few days.

They went sight seeing almost every day and since I was staying at Harry's I haven't seen them for that time. They were out and about every day and I was so nice that I was paying for their hotel.

"I'm so excited to perform in two days but I'm also really excited to go home," I admitted as we were now eating our dessert. I ordered chocolate cake and it tasted absolutely fantastic.

"Everyone will be there. Shawn will perform a few hours before you and all of us will be hanging out before the show it'll be an amazing day and you'll kill it like you always do," Andre said and just then I remembered that Shawn was going to be there as well.

I knew he was performing but I kinda forgot it and I may look suspicious when I don't hang out with the guys. Oh god, I really do hope I can find someone else to hang out with like The Chainsmokers who'll be performing with me.

I also saw that Niall & Liam will be there so maybe I'll have a chat with them.

I will definitely try to get a picture with Niall & Liam because I love One Direction since I was 13 and I just love them to death. I will also try to get a picture with James Arthur because I think he's incredible.

"Are you excited for tour at the end of the year and next year?" I asked Harry since I saw all the devastated tweets of fans on the day his tickets went on sale.

"Of course, I am. I can't wait to go back on tour," he told me with a smile. "I was on twitter the day your tickets went on sale and according from your fans it was pure hell to try and get tickets. I know how it is myself but I could only imagine."

"I know I saw it too. I had nothing to do so I was on twitter and read all the tweets. Absolute madness!"

"They are really committed and I love them," Harry smiled, showing off his dimple.

I have to admit that this chapter is really boring and I'm sorry :D

Btw I'm currently working on another story and I'm really excited for it but I still have to get the plot right and stuff. Also I recently get all these ideas but I have trouble creating a whole plot so let's see how that goes ;)

Tbh this story never really had a full worked out plot I just collect some ideas and start writing when I feel like it 😂This is also the reason why I don't know when and how this story is going to end. Lmao thanks for reading ❤️
