Never Be Alone [COMPLETED]

Chapter 18

-Brooklyn-
"So you're gonna try long distance?" Chloe confirmed for like the tenth time.
"Yes!" I exclaimed exasperated.
"So what happened at that airport besides that?" She asked. "Because you seem really- I don't know- like dopey maybe?"
"Dopey?" I questioned.
"Yeah like you were with Cam towards the end before he- well ya know."
"Yeah,...." I mumbled.
"So what happened?" She pushed.
"He-he said he loved me." I stuttered.
"And what did you say?" She asked.
"I said I love you too." I mumbled.
"Really?" She said.
"Well actually I yelled it." I said.
"What?"
I explained the whole story to her.
"Awww." She cooed. "It must have been like in the movies."
"Yeah." I sighed.
She had come over to my house. We went downstairs to get something to eat. My mom was at work. We went and sat on the couch. Chloe turned on the tv and I pulled out my laptop.
Just then my phone started to ring.
It read:
Shawn is trying to FaceTime you.
"Go ahead." Chloe said over my shoulder.
"Hi baby." He smiled.
"Hi." I smiled back.
"Just so you know, Chloe's here." I said.
"Heyyyy." Chloe said popping up on the camera.
"What were you guys talking about me?" He said.
"No."
"Yes."
"Chlo!" I turned to her.
"Sorry I think I'll go now." She said grabbing her stuff. "See you later!"
"Bye Shawn!" She yelled as she went out the door.
"Goodbye Chloe!" He laughed.
I went upstairs with my phone and laid on my bed.
"So how's California?" I asked.
"Good." I sighed.
"Have you thought about what I said back at the airport yet?" He asked.
"Y-you were serious?" I stuttered.
"Yeah why not. Brooke I told you I love you."
"Yeah but what about-"
"What about what?" He asked.
"I don't know. School? My mom? I don't even know how I would begin to convince her." I sighed.
"School we can get you a tutor, like me and I can help you." He said. I smiled at the thought of him helping me. "And your mom, just ask her." He sighed.
"Okay." I said.
Just then I heard the door open.
"Is that who I think it is?" He said wiggling his eye brows.
"It should be." I smiled.
"Hold on." I jumped off the bed and went downstairs.
"Mom!" I yelled.
"Yeah sweetie?" She asked.
"Can I talk to you about something?" I said.
"Sure." She said patting the couch next to her.
"So Shawn suggested that I go to Magcon with him. In one month when he comes to Canada to perform."
"Let me think,...." She said. "Uhhhh...... NO."
"Come on Mom please...." I begged.
"Brooke there's this thing called school that you have to go to and if starts next week. You can't just not go to school!"
"No I'll get a tutor like everyone else does at Magcon! Plus Shawn said he would help me!"
"Brooklyn how is this in anyway benefiting you?"
"I'm going to different places, I'm a junior I need to start thinking about career options and colleges and I have no idea. Traveling like this I can get an education and look at different colleges and explore different career options."
She sighed.
Yes! I had stumped her.
"Plus," I added. "Cameron will be there." She loved Cameron. She couldn't get enough of him when I was dating him. I swear she talked about him more than I did.
She exhaled.
"Fine." She said. "But I'm not saying yes. I'm going to to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Mendes and Dallas."
"Yay!" I yelled. "Thank you so much! I love you so much!" I screamed.
"I'm not saying yes!" She yelled as I ran upstairs.
"She said yes!" I said slamming my door.
"I'm pretty sure she said maybe." He said.
"Eavesdropper." I said looking into the camera.
He smiled.
I smiled back.
"So what are you doing tomorrow?" I asked.
"We have an event in LA at 4."
"What do you do?" I asked.
"Sing. And then at some point we all come out on stage and kids hang out and we invite people up. There's a meet and greet after."
"Ooh." I said. "So they'll be girls yelling 'Look look it's Shawn Mendes!' 'Can I get a picture?' 'Can you sign this?!'"
He laughed and I smiled hearing his laugh.
"I don't think I'm that famous."
I scoffed.
He mocked me.
"Shut up." I said.
"You shut up." He replied. He paused. "Damn." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"Well usually I would kiss you but I can't." He sighed.
"It's okay." I said. I paused. "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?" He said.
"Are you afraid your gonna get like homesick?"
"A little but I have Cam and he's from home and maybe you'll come. Plus I'll talk to you every night and talk to my mom."
"Awwww." I cooed.
"Shut up." He paused. "Why?"
I was silent.
"Are you afraid you'll get homesick?" He asked.
I didn't respond.
"You are!" He said. "Well Brooke you don't have to go if you don't want to."
I smiled.
He wanted me to come because he didn't want us to be apart. But if I wasn't comfortable with that he would give up what he wanted.
"Oh I'm going." I replied.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"I'm positive." I said. "I'll make sure my mom says yes." I smiled.
-A Week and a Half Later-
-Three Weeks Before Magcon Comes to Canada-
"Brooke can you come down here?!" My mom yelled.
"Yeah mom?!" I yelled as I came down the stairs.
"We need to talk."
"About???"
"Magcon." She said. "I've made a decision."
"Are you gonna let me go?" I said slightly grinning.
She sighed. And it wasn't like an I give up you can go sigh.
I frowned.
"You said that this will be good for your career options since your moving around a lot." She said. "Do you go somewhere new every two weeks?"
"Yeah." I responded.
(A/n that's not accurate)
"You'd have to call me at least every week and keep up with me. But skype so I can actually see you." She instructed.
"So your letting me go?!" I couldn't contain myself.
"I talked to Mrs. Mendes and Dallas and they told me all about it. They even tried to convince me."
"So yes?" I yelled.
"Yes." She replied.
"Oh my god mom!" I yelled. "Thank you so much! I love you so much! I have to go call Shawn!" I gave her a hug and ran upstairs. She laughed as I did.
The phone rang twice and then he declined my call.
"How rude." I muttered.
I texted him:
I have something important I need to tell you.
I turned off my phone and just laid down on my bed while I waited for him to respond.
Before I knew it I was awoken by the sound of my phone ringing.
It was Shawn.
I answered.
"Hi sorry I was at an event." He says.
"I don't care." I said slightly cheering up. "Shawn my mom talked to me today about Magcon."
"Really what did she say?" He asked getting excited.
I pretended to try and hold back tears.
"I'm sorry Shawn." I fake whimpered.
"Oh it's okay baby. We'll figure it out. We've made it this far right?"
"Shawn it's been like 2 weeks." I fake cried.
"It's okay." He said. "I wish I could comfort you."
"You can!" I screamed. "In two weeks cause my mom said yes!!!!"
"Really?!" He said.
"Yes, yes, yes!!!" I screamed.
"Oh my god, Brooke, I'm so happy! I love you!"
I bit my lip, looked down and then looked back up.
"I love you too." I smiled.
-One Week Later-
As Shawn went along with Magcon he had only talked to me like 2 times over FaceTime in the past week. I didn't mind as much because I knew he was probably hanging out with all the guys.
I told Chloe that I would be going and she cried a little but I assured her that we would talk all the time. She could give me the gossip and she could meet the guys.
"Brooklyn Lee Sanders!" My mom yelled.
"Uh oh." I whispered.
I ran downstairs.
"Yeah mom?" I said.
"You do realize that Magcon comes here in one week right?"
"Yeah so what?" I said sitting at the counter.
"You have to start planning what your packing." She said.
I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.
She helped me plan it out outfit by outfit. My mom is super organized. She likes everything to have a place.
"Mom, just saying but yes they're coming in a week but you do realize they're staying for two weeks."
"Yeah but you have to be prepared." She insisted.
"Okay, okay." I said.
Later I lay in bed listening to music on my phone.
It started to buzz.
-Shawn-
I had been busy the past few weeks so I hadn't really talked to Brooke. I'm sure she understood though. After the event tonight I decided I was gonna call her.
When we got back to the hotel I told them I was gonna call Brooke.
"Ooooh." Nash cooed.
Taylor made kissy faces.
I just laughed it off and went to go call her.
I had already told them she was coming. They were all really excited. Especially Mahogany. I talked to our manager, (is that what it's called? Idk.) and he was fine with it.
"Hey!" She examined answering the phone.
"Hi." I smiled. "So I was wondering if you could pick me up from the airport. I want to surprise my parents."
"Okay!"
I told her Next Tuesday at 10am.
She promised she would be there waiting for me at baggage claim.
"I can't wait." She whispered.
"Me neither." I responded, smiling.
-Tuesday-
-Brooklyn-
I woke up super early to get ready even though I didn't have to pick him up until ten. I took a shower and straightened my hair. I put on black leggings, a pink mint green shirt, and uggs.
I put on some makeup and went downstairs.
It was 8:00.
"What time are you picking Shawn up?" My mom asked.
"10:00." I responded.
"Okay just make sure your ready." She said.
I ate a granola bar brushed my teeth again and reapplied my lipstick.
I sent a picture to Chloe and she said I looked really good. I started my car to heat it up and then it was 9:30 and it was like a 20 minute drive so I decided to leave. When I got there I went over to baggage claim and waited.
It was like 10 after 10 and I decided to call Shawn.
"Hey baby what's up?" He answered.
"Um where are you?" I asked, looking around.
"At my hotel in California why?"
"Shawn I swear to god if your messing with me." I started.
"I'm not. What do you mean?"
"Shawn I'm at baggage claim you said to pick you up at ten on Tuesday. Well today's Tuesday and it's 10:15!" I practically yelled.
"Brooke it's Monday." He respinded laughing slightly.
"What? No it's not." I started counting in my fingers. Was I wrong? Was I just overly excited that I messed up the dates?
"Boo!" Shawn yelled and grabbed my waist.
I screamed and turned around and jumped into his arms.
Then I started to cry.
A/n sorry this chapter took so long. But it's way longer than my other chapters. Would you prefer long chapters not as frequent or small chapters frequently. By small I mean like 10 pages at the least.
