Liz now curious of what else could the music genius write besides music couldn't help but ask. "Oh, you write something else apart from music? Do tell."
"Nah." Landon responded. "It's nothing that interesting, so don't stress about it that much."
Liz, feeling shut down took the hint. "Okay, I won't bother you about it hat much. But, you can't blame a girl for being curious." A few moments later after talking, the two part ways. Landon, now who had finally had his fill of being socially active decides to go back home. (His not very social to others apart from Rachel, Alex and Emma.)
Now, still with time on his hands He decides to go to the mall. Little did he know he was going to regret that decision later. He was calmy walking in the mall and decided to get himself a Ps4 to kill the boredom he was suffering at home. (Yes, he gets bored sometimes🤣.) With every step he took, Landon felt more and more anxious. People from around were starting to look his way. He overheard one par debating wherever or not it was "him".
Male patron:
"I'm telling you babe. That's not Landon Asher. The guy us dressed like a bum to be Landon Asher."
Female patron:
"No, I swear that's him. You know what, let me show you."
The young lady rushes over to Landon in excitement and curiosity. "Umm...sorry." She said pocking Landon from the back. London being London just let's out a heavy sigh and turns around. "Yes?" He answered lowly. The girl let's out a cute sqeak as Landon turns. "Umm... I-I- I saw you walking and I couldn't help but notice you looked a lot like Landon Asher. So I was w-w- wondering if you're him." She said nervously.
Landon takes a moment to respond to the girl. "Yeah. I'm Landon Asher." He said softly. Those words Alone sent the girl in a frenzy. "I knew it. I knew I couldn't mistake you for anyone else." She said happily. "Hey, Bobby. I was right. It is Landon." She shouted at her boyfriend who was slowly approaching them. "Man, how lucky are we? To think we'd run into Landon Asher of all people."She continued talking. "I knew it was you from the get go. But, my boyfriend here said you weren't the real Landon Asher. He said you're dressed like a bum and the fit doesn't match your style."
Bobby, who was now feeling embarrassed trued by all means to justify himself. "Cassie!! I'm so sorry about that, Mr Landon. I just didn't expect a man of your caliber to look so.....normal." Landon paying no attention to the remarks just stood there looking at the couple. "So, you want pictures or not?" He responded to the couple.
Cassie being a fan girl couldn't help but jump at the proposal. "R-r-really?" She shouted. "You hear that Bobby? Landon Asher wants a Pic with me. C-coukd this be a marriage proposal?" She Said.
"Absolutely not." Landon and Bobby both answered at the same time. "And why are you making it sound like his tge fan and you the celebrity?" Bobby added.
A couple of hundred pictures later*
Landon was finally done taking pictures with Cassie and Bobby....more with Cassie than with Bobby. Now with his attention finally back he marched towards the PS store. Cassie on the other hand couldn't believe what just went down. She couldn't wait to show off the pictures she took with Landon. As a result she posted 5 of the cutest ones on her Twitter.
Caption: "Look who I met today!! Omg. The guy is super chilled and actually offered to take a picture with me and not the other way around. I'm sooo lucky. ❤️❤️❤️"
Cassie was no stranger on twitter, she had a following of 120K. Most of the followers were just like her....hard-core Landon fan girls who resided in Canada. Within 5 minutes the comment session was already asking for the location and Cassie wasn't stingy with it.
Landon who finished looking for the PS4 was still hunted by Bobby's words that he looked like a "bum" so he decided to go shopping for new fits. Little did he know what was coming next for him. While he was making his way out of the Nike shop, he accidentally made contact with the 100+ girls who were on the hunt for their prey. "Woah. Fan girls, they must be here for a famous guy. I wonder who's in town. Is it Justin? Drake? Or even Shawn." He thought to himself.
The mall security who had been fighting the good fight of keeping the doors closed couldn't stop the herd of hard-core fan girls anymore. One of the mall security members yelled "run away. They're here for you, Landon!!!" Landon, who finally rembered that his famous in this life only let out one word. "Sh*t." He started Running towards the way he came from. And once he entered the Nike shop he told the people there to close their doors. The stuff, noticing the mob running towards their store couldn't help but agree.
"Amigo, what's going on!!" Shouted the manager of the shop. Landon who just finally cought his breath speaks. "André. It's a mess...it's- it's hard-core fan girls." Landon shouted with a concerned look on his face. For him, this was the worst thing ever. He had seen the videos of fan girls chasing down Justin Bieber everywhere. He knew what this meant for him. Thst they won't stop until they have their hands on him. So, he decided to do what every man in his position would do. Call his mother figure. (Rachel)
Rachel who was in her office got a call from Landon. She immediately thought something was wrong as Landon wasn't one to call. "Landon?"
Landon somehow still keeping his cool spoke. "Rachel.... It's a mess. They're here to get me!" Rachel with look of concern instantly replied " who? Landon where are you?"
Landon also instantly replied. "At the mall, I'm trapped in the Nike shop. Come quickly." Without waisting time, Rachel got her car keys. On the way out of her office she runs into Emma who was running at high speed. "Rachel it's a mess." Emma said.
Rachel who only had Landon on her mind brushed her off. "Not now, Emma. Landon is in danger." Emma grabbed her by the hand. "This is about him." She said. "Landon is trapped at the mall cause of the fan girls blocking his way out."
"What?" Rachel shouted. "What happened to his security team?" Emma instantly replied. "What team? He refused to get any since he spent most of his time in the studio and said it was a waist of money." Rachel let's out a deep sigh of regret. "Damn it. Emma, you got any ideas to get him out?" Emma who was quick minded responded. We'll, since they want Landon why didn't we give them what they want?" She said. Rachel who was already furious let our a vicious response. "What!!!? Are you crazy?"
Emma, keeping her cool only responded with the following. "Hear me out, why don't we just..."
Four hours later. Landon who was still trapped couldn't believe his eyes. These girls were not going anywhere anytime soon. Just as he was finally giving up and thinking of giving them what they wanted he heard a similar voice through the mall speakers. "Attention, ladies. This is Rachel, Landon's manager and the founder of the record label his currently signed to." Landons eyes light up with hope as he hears her voice. "I know what you girls are going crazy for and I've came here to give you exactly that. If you could wait outside for an 60 minutes at the parking lot I'll bring you Landon." Landon who just heard those words had only one thing on his mind. "Whst the hell is she thinking?"
Rachel continued. "We've contacted the police and they are serving as a barricade between where you girls will be and the stage that Landon will perform from. So if you can wait for that one just those 30 minutes for Landon to collect his thoughts we'll give you a once off free Landon Asher concert. " She said.
The girls who heard this words only had one thought on their mind "free concert? I've gotta be first to see him closer." And just like that, the group started running towards the exit. A couple of minutes later, Rachel and Emma along with a security guard in casual clothing came to the Nike shop. "Landon!!" Rachel shouts as she makes her way to the Shop. Landon who was sleeping calmy on the counter wakes up and looks at Rachel. "Yo" he responded.
Emma, Rachel and the rest just looked at him with concern on their faces. "Are you sure his normal? He looked way too relaxed for what he just went through." The man said. Emma let's out a sigh and she nervously responded. "Yeah. That's Landon for you."
"Landon. This is Stephan, starting today he will serve as your secretary guard." Rachel said. Landon just nodded." It's nice to meet you, Steven." He said offering a handshake. Stephan accepts the gesture and shakes his hand. "Thank you, sir. Though my name is Stephan, not Steven."
"Oh, my bad. Sorry about that, Stan. Im not really good with names." Landon responded with a smile. Stephan just looked at him and didn't even bother responding.
"London. Let's quickly go get you changed. We have got less than only 48 minutes to get you ready. Let's go." Rachel said pulling his hand. Landon with a sigh. "Fine, but I need a donut. I'm hungry."
The girls where going crazy and chanting his name. The police standing guard from all areas to prevent that they don't get a repeat of what happened earlier. Landon who was now wearing a Black ripped jean with a red Nike shirt and a black jean jacket makes his way to the stage. As he looks down at the crowd that now seemed to have grown over the past hour. He grabbed the mic and started tapping it on his hand signing for the crowd to lower their voices.
Hesitant for the first time since becoming Landon, he puts the mic on his lips and starts talking. "So, how are you guys doing? I'm not doing okay. I was trapped in a Nike shop for 4 hours and all I wanted was a freaking Ps4." He said with a smile. The crowd started laughing after his words.
"Honestly. Today you made me remember that I'm not just a wanna be artist anymore. Thank you for that lille reminder....But, I'm still mad at you guys. So as you're punishment, I'm not gonna perfom any of my new songs. I'm only sticking to the album songs." He said. The crowed reacted in heavy boos after his statement. "Oh, you don't like that? Okay how about this. If you guys manage to sing the songs with me word for word all the way through, I'll give you a sneak peak of two of my upcoming songs." He said with a smile. The crowed agreed with heavy cheers.
"So, I'll take it that's our agreement?" The cheers continued.
"Okay my little zombies, let's go!" He shouted.
The DJ immediately started playing Dusk till dawn. The smoothing intro of the song and Landon's heavenly voice makes some of the audience break into tears. While most Artist would sing over the song, Landon was singing over the beat only, meaning it was only him, the beat and his raw vocals. Time quicky passes and it was time to perform the last song on the album.
"So guys, I saved this song for last because it's the starts kf everything. Had I not recorded this song and sent it to Alex and him giving it to Rachel I would not be here today. So can I get a shout out for Alex? One three. Are you ready? One...two...three!"
"Shout out, Aleeeeeeex!!!" The crowd shouts.
"Wooooo!!. That's what I'm talking about. Hey, Mr DJ. Please, please hit Rebirth"
The crowed starts singing the lyrics with him.
[Intro]
Mhhm-mhhm-mhhm-Mhhm-mhhm-mhhm-mhhm
Mhhm-mhhm-mhhm-Mhhm-mhhm-mhhm-mhhm

Slowly suffocating, I need some space to breathe. Take your knife and place it through my chest. Are you just gonna stand there as I take my last breath? Never did I think you would make me bleed
[Chorus]
(Never did I think you would make me)
(Never did I think you would make me)
Oh, oh, oh
(Never did I think you would make me)
Oh, oh, oh
(Never did I think you would make me)
[Verse]
Lie to me and say you love me
Cry and say you it's my fault , like you always do
Tell me that I'm not enough and how I'm nothing without you
Break me down so I'd think No one but you will truly want me
[Bride]
I know you bad for me, but baby I can't help it
You the tattoo in my brain and it's killing me
My life can't continue like this
Yet I feel like I'm not alive when you aren't here
(Baby i'm)
[Pre chorus]
Slowly suffocating, I need some space to breathe
Take your knife and place it through my chest
Are you just gonna stand there as I take my last breath?
Never did I think you would make me bleed
[Chorus]
(Never did I think you would make me)
(Never did I think you would make me)
Oh, oh, oh
(Never did I think you would make me)
Oh, oh, oh
(Never did I think you would make me)
[Verse]
Now we've reached the final chapter of our story
No amount of "I'm sorrys" and "i love yous' can fix this
Like a mouth to the flame, you pulled me in
What I thought was warmth was my skin burning
All my walls came falling it and yet I still have a sift spot for you
But that doesn't change the fact that
[Bride]
I know you bad for me, but baby I can't help it
You the tattoo in my brain and it's killing me
My life can't continue like this
Yet I feel like I'm not alive when you aren't here
(Baby i'm)
[Pre chorus]
Slowly suffocating, I need some space to breathe
Take your knife and place it through my chest
Are you just gonna stand there as I take my last breath?
Never did I think you would make me bleed
[Chorus]
....
[Refrain]
Lose my mind
Baby you like a drug that I didn't even know I was hooked on
Now it's too late to stop, cause baby you got me
[Bride]
I know you bad for me, but baby I can't help it
You the tattoo in my brain and it's killing me
My life can't continue like this
Yet I feel like I'm not alive when you aren't here
(Baby i'm)
[Pre chorus]
...
[Chorus]

As the final note of the song hits, the crowd was all in tears watching Landon, who him self was shading a tear. Landon whips the tear and thinks "this one is for you, OG Landon." The crowd erupts in cheers one more time. Landon keeps his word and plays the new song. It was the Conner Maynard acoustic version of "You broke me first." People didn't know whether it was the vocals, lyrics or Acoustic guitar. But, something was definitely catching their attention.
"Okay guys. This next one it's the demo version, if I play the original one I'm scared you'll know who the feature is. But, unlike the two before it I can grantee that it's a fun one. But first, I need a girl from the crowd....I know. Cassie, are you out there?"
Cassie who was front started jumping up and down. "Here, here, here. I'm here." She shouted in excitement. Landon told the police to let her through. Cassie runs to the stage and hugs Landon who just gives off a sigh and pats her on the head. "Okay, I need you to sit on a chair. Sam, can we please get a chair?" Stephan climbs on stage bringing in a a chair and a rose. "Everyone, give it up for my bodyguard, Sam."
"Sam, Sam, Sam." The crowed chants
Stephan just looks at Landon annoyed with only one thought. "My name is Stephan. Stephan!!!" Cassie takes her sit and the song "Girls like you" starts playing. The crowd was loving it, Landon made yet another catchy song for them and they were eating it up, as the performance continued he gave Cassie the Rose and the crowd started cheering on the move. As the song concludes the crowd had one thing on their mind. "This man is a music genius."
