Liability
[Alex's p.o.v]
'They say, you're a little much for me. You're a liability, you're a little much for me.'
The lyrics played over and over in my head as I walk down the streets of Manhattan. Walking away from a coffee shop, the rain pouring down. It deflected my mood. He gave up on me, he gave up on us.
A black car rolls up on the sidewalk next to me, they roll down their window. "Hey, jump in, you look soaked."
I look around me to see nothing but rain and my apartment ages from here. "I mean, are you sure? I don't want to disturb you or anything."I say, sniffling.
"You're more than okay, don't worry." The calm voice says. I know I shouldn't get into some strangers car but I felt like a drowned rat. "Thank you so mu- hey you're Shawn Mendes." I say as I get into the passenger seat.
"Yeah but don't freak out okay?" He says seriously. "Screw you." I say.
"Sorry?" He says with surprise, "You think just because you are famous that everyone will freak out if they see you. Typical"
Silence fills the car as we stay put on the sidewalk. "Just drive up to that corner, I can walk it from there." I say with a sigh. "No, you are gonna be drenched."
He drove to a hotel, and a very expensive looking one with that. He parks the car as I say, "Where are we?"
"The Pembrooke." He says and I pull a confused face. "I'm here doing some stuff for the week and I didn't want to ask you where you live, that would've been weird."
"Well it's weird that you brought be to your hotel. You don't even know my name." I sigh.
"Well what's your name?" He asks, "Alex, Alex Bond." I reply.
"Well I don't think we have properly met, I'm Shawn, Shawn Mendes." He says, holding out his hand as I shake it, he plants a kiss on the back of my hand.
"Smooth," I begin nodding my head, "but what do I do now."
"Well you can stay the night here." He says, "No no no. I can not." I say.
"Why not?" He asks, "Well I have an interview with Island Records tomorrow, and I don't want to mess things up." I reply.
"Come on, you don't even have to stay the night, just stay for dinner?" He asks as roll my eyes, "Fine."
We get to his room and There are three other guys in there. "And who is this Shawn?" The guy with glasses on asks, "Oh it's um, it's my friend."
"Well hello.." the guy says to me, "Alex. And you are?" I ask.
"Andrew, Andrew Gertler. Oh and that is Geoff and Ian over there." The guy says as he points to the two friendly guys sitting near the window. I wave and smile, they return it.
"Who's down for Sushi?" Shawn says, "Me, Andrew and Ian are going to some restaurant. You can stay here though." Geoff says, Shawn and I nod.
"Sorry what was that?" Shawn says down the phone, he's ordering Sushi and not understanding a word they are saying. Andrew, Ian and Geoff have left.
"Ahh, okay. Sushi's going to be here in 20 minutes." He says, "Cool." I say rubbing my arms, my clothes are still soaked.
"Oh crap, do you want some new clothes?" Shawn says standing up, noticing I'm cold. "No I'm fine." I say as Shawn rushes to the wardrobe, picking out a long blue jumper and some grey socks.
"This should be big on you, more cozy right?" He laughs, handing me the clothes. "Shawn I can't."
"Just go and change." As he points to the bathroom. I walk into there and get out of my cold clothes, into a massive jumper and socks.
