Layla POV

"No Shawn stop!" I said laughing as Shawn started to tickle me.

"Please stop! You're suppose to be asleep." I said and he finally stopped tickling me.

"I am. I just couldn't help but see that you weren't." He said now laying his head on my lap as I froze. It's been 2 weeks and so far we had become close but he's never done this.. probably because it was always Charlie in his place.

"Shawn you have a show in a few hours you should really sleep." I said to him not touching him. I didn't want to disrespect him in any way.

"Then help me sleep." He said looking me in the eyes.

"And how would I do that?" I asked him, he smiled at me and moved his hands to take mine and moved them to his hair.

"You know I got very curious as to why Charlie likes you playing with his hair so much.. why don't you play with my hair and sing me something?" He asked me.

"Are you serious right now?" I asked and he closed his eyes with a smile as if telling me yes. I sighed and give in to my craving of playing with his hair.. God its so soft! I continue to play with it and I see him bite his lip.

"Shit Charlie was right." I hear him mumble and I smiled before I started to sing.

"Soy tu mejor amiga
Tu pañuelo de lágrimas
De amores perdidos
Te recargas en mi hombro
Tu llanto no cesa

Yo solo te acaricio
Y me dices por qué la vida es tan cruel con tus sentimientos?

Yo solo te abrazo, y te consuelo

Me pides mil consejos para protegerte
De tu proximo encuentro
Sabes que te cuido
Lo que no sabes es que
Yo quisiera ser esa por quien te desvelas y te desesperas
Yo quisiera ser tu llanto, esa que viene de tus sentimientos
Yo quisiera ser esa por quien tú despertaras ilusionado
Yo quisiera que vivieras de mí siempre enamorado
Tú te me quedas viendo
Y me preguntas
Si algo me está pasando
Y yo no sé qué hacer
Si tú supieras que me estoy muriendo
Quisiera decirte lo que yo siento, no
Pero tengo miedo de que me rechazes
Y que solo en mi mente vivas, para siempre
Por eso
Yo quisiera ser esa por quien tú te desvelas y te desesperas ilusionado
Yo quisiera ser tu llanto, esa que viene de tus sentimientos
Yo quisiera ser esa por quien tú despertaras ilusionado
Yo quisiera que vivieras de mi siempre enamorado
Yo quisiera ser
Ser tu llanto
Tu vida."

"You have a really good voice in Spanish as well.. what does that song say?" He asked and I blushed a bit.

"The song is about a guy that fell in love with his best friend but is too afraid to tell her." I said softly as I continued to enjoy how his hair felt in my hands.

"Keep singing to me." He said closing his eyes again.

"In English this time I want to know what you're saying to me." He said.

"So we're taking the long way home

Take me back to the middle of nowhere
Back to the place only you and I share
Remember all the memories?
The fireflies and make-believe
Kicking back in the old school yard
Singing songs on our guitars
This is our reality
Crazy stupid, you and me

We know this is the way it's supposed to be

So we're taking the long way home
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you,
Talkin' bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we're taking the long way home tonight

We're taking the long way home

Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
Yeah, you know we took our time to get there
We're hiding out in a dream
Catching fire like kerosene
And you know I'd never let you down
'Til the sun comes up, we can own this town
Something like make-believe
Living in a movie scene

I know this is the way it's supposed to be

So we're taking the long way home
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you,
Talkin' bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we're taking the long way home

Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs, darling
Green Day's on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we're turning off the headlights, darling
We're just taking it slow

So we're taking the long way home
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you,
Talkin' bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we're taking the long way home

Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs, darling
Green Day's on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we're turning off the headlights, darling
We're just taking it slow

We're taking the long way home
We're taking the long way home
We're taking the long way home." I finished singing when I felt Shawn steady breathing. I smiled still playing with his hair as I laid back.

"You have no idea what you're doing to me Shawn.. if I loved you before I don't know what I'm feeling now." I mumble taking my phone and put my headphones on putting music on as I fall asleep.

~Time for the concert~

"You good?" I asked Shawn as we were back stage.

"Yeah." He said not looking at me.

"Hey." I said making him look at me.

"This is no different than any of your concerts, everyone here including me are here to see you have fun on that stage. We're here to see you happy, giving us that beautiful smile of yours and seeing you enjoy every note you play and sing your big honest heart out. I want you to go out there and show everyone the Shawn Mendes we all like and love." I said to him with a smile as he just looked at my eyes and just then my brother came off stage and I looked at him smiling big.

"You did amazing Charles!" I said running and jumping on him hugging him.

"Thanks baby girl." He said kissing my cheek and we both look at Shawn.

"Your turn Mendes." I said as he smiled at me nodding. He went on that stage and started to sing and play as I start to sing along to the songs and enjoying every second of it. That's until..

"For this next song I'd like someone that became very special to me over the pass days to come on stage with me and sing it with me." I hear Shawn say as he walked back back stage for a second I actually thought he was talking about my brother until he walked to me carrying me on his shoulders as I yelped.

"She's very shy and I'm more than sure that I'm gonna die when this show is over. So I need all of you to help me convince her to stay in this stage with me and help me sing this song." 

"Shawn I'm serious put me down." I said wiggling freaking out and looked at my brother asking for help with my eyes but he looks just as surprised as I did.

"Her name is Layla, Layla babe please stop wiggling or you're gonna fall." Said Shawn in a funny voice.

"Put me down!" I yelled and I could hear my voice on the speakers.

"If I put you down will you sing with me?" He said and I hear laughter.

"Shawn this isn't funny let me go! Please!" I said and felt tears in my eyes. He put me down but wouldn't let me leave.

"Sing with me. Just one song.. that's all I'm asking." He pleaded me. If I hadn't looked in those eyes I would of walked away.

"Just one." I said and he smiled handing me a microphone. (Song up top)
