Teagans pov:

It's 6:39 by the time I get home. I must have walked pretty slow it usually didn't take that long to walk home from the cemetery.

I open the door and make my way to the stairs.

But I didn't make it up two steps when I hear glass shatter. I turn around and see my father and mother screaming at each other.

I try to be as quiet as possible until my door creaks when I open it.

Fuck.

My father whips his head around. His eyes land on my and he drops my unconscious mother on the floor.

My eyes widen as he rushes angrily toward me.

I sprint to my room I share with TJ. I lock the door and she looks at me with and her mouth opens like she's going to say something, but stops herself.

"Let's go" I whisper to her while nodding my head toward our window.

She catches my drift and we tip toe to the window.

Just as we open it I hear pounding on the door.

I rush my sister out the window until we are both on the roof and I shut the window. Just making it before my father knocks the door down.

Ever since the day my father laid a hand on me, me and TJ made a secret escape from our room for situations like this.

Unfortunately we have to use it quite often.

We climb down the escape and onto the street. We sprint down the block not looking back until we reach an intersection.

I look at the time, 6:51

I text shawn and tell him that we'll meet him at his house.

We get there in less than 5 minutes. Even though his house wasn't far from ours.

TJ gives me a smirk when I just let myself into his house. I just roll my eyes when as we walk in.

I find shawn in his living room on his phone. He looks up and smiles when he sees us.

He raises his eyebrow. "This must be THE little sister."

She blushes and I try not to burst out laughter.

Shawn leads us out to the driveway and my sister turns to me

"TEAGAN YOU TALK ABOUT ME?" She whisper yells.

"Of course I tell him all juicy stuff" I wink and give her a playful shove. But she takes it as a challenge and tries to shove me back. Soon it's a full on fight.

Shawn turns around when TJ trips on her shoelace and gives us a questioning face. I'm trying not to laugh because TJ is so embarrassed, her face is turning fifty shades of red.

We get into the car and Shawn starts the engine and off we go to our hour long ride to the airport.

TJ pov:

I sit in the backseat while Shawn and Teagan sat in the front.

They talk like they've been best friends for years not running out of things to talk about.

When Teagan speaks I watch Shawns expressions.

I see the way he looks at her.

Like he just won the lottery, and that look never leaves his face.

The only other person I know that looked at Teagan that way was Matt.

I have a feeling I will be seeing Shawn more. I smile at the thought of my sister being happy.

It broke my heart to see her so sad.

Now that Shawns here I plan on seeing her smile a little more.
-------------------------------------------

Shawns POV:

We arrive at the airport an hour later.

Teagans little sister leads the way like she's done this a hundred times before.

We get to gate 3b in 10 minutes and wait until the flight is called.

I watch Teagan as she sits there with anticipation in her eyes. I look at her sister who looks like a mini version of Teagan only TJ has blonde hair.

We finally see people exiting the landing dock.

I sit there not knowing really what to do, since I don't know what her brother looks like I couldn't help them look.

The last person leaves the dock and TJ and Teagan scream causing everyone to stare at us.

They both go running to a boy who looks in his early-mid 20s with brown hair and a bandana on.

This must be her brother.

They stay in a group hug while I awkwardly stand behind them.

Finally they let go and her brother's eyes land right on me. He glares at me.

"Teagan who is this?" He asks sharply.

"Tay calm down" she whispers to him and he snaps his head down at her.

"This is Shawn" Teagan smiles

"Her boyfriend" TJ adds at the end which makes Teagan blush and Taylor clench his fists.

"What did she just say?" Taylor asks like he didn't believe what he just heard.

I step in

"Hi I'm shawn, Teagans friend." I put out my hand for him to shake.

Don't ask me why it felt natural.

Taylor looks at my hand then back up at me and raises his eyebrow.

He looks like he's trying not to laugh at how stupid that was, I look down at the ground.

I feel stupid for doing that.

But before he can say anything to me, Teagan steps by my side and grabs my hand.

"Shall we head out?" She looks at me and smiles. Which makes me blush.

I can feel Taylor's stares pierce through me but I relax when Teagans grip on me tightens.
