Finding for Something |Shawn Mendes|

Chapter 1

Mason's Point of View

I woke up to the sound of glass crashing across the floor. Opening to my eyes in fear, I immediately respond by hiding in the bathroom.
I already know what's going to end up happening in about;
3...
2...
1...

"MASON!" My father yelled, causing me to wince. I didn't respond.
"GET YOUR LITTLE ANOREXIC BODY DOWN HERE!" He shouts again.

Man, that was deep.

I quickly locked the bathroom door and heard my bedroom door being slammed open.
You could hear those heavy, terrorizing, and heartless footsteps from a mile away, no joke.

I saw his shadow making its way towards the bathroom door. I walked up quietly towards the top of the toilet seat, pulling down the lid quietly.
Nothing was there besides the silence between the two rooms.
"Mason, I know your in there." He said, I already know his cheeky smirk was plastered all over it.

All of a sudden, the door swung open, almost swinging me off the toilet from the opposite side.
"Oh look, my prediction was right." His smirk lead to being a bastard.
"Oh look, we have the biggest bastard in the world right in my bathroom." I snapped, regretting it a moment after.

His dark facial expression changed to a hatred and barely describable.
"Excuse me?!" He slapped me across the face and grabbed the bottom if my throat, making me gag. "Never talk to me like that again. Your an anorexic nobody. No wonder no one likes you." He let going my throat and left me there to choke to death.

I really need to find a perfect time to sneak out and go to the airport and fly to my best friend, Shawn.

Later today, my father said he was going to get something to eat; for himself, not me. I'm too fat to be eating.

I took this chance to call Shawn quickly before my father returned. I barley get a chance to talk to Shawn and I was excited to hear his voice.

I dialled his number, hearing two beeps before he picked up.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Hey Shawn! It's Mason." I said.
"Oh my gosh! Mason, how are you?!" He asked, sounding excited.
"Okay, i guess..." I muttered.
"When are you planning on coming up? I can't wait for you to meet my friends! They will love you." He said, making a smile pull across my lips.
I sighed, "I don't know. I have to figure out a way to sneak out because I can only use the phone when dad isn't around." I said.
"Well, I'll help you figure something out. Call me when you figure out something too. I should get going." Shawn said through the phone.
"It was nice hearing your voice again, Shawn. I can't wait either." I said, about to hang up the phone.
"Bye beautiful!" He shrieked, then hung up.

I smiled and heard the door slam closed downstairs.
"Anorexic daughter I have, where are you?" His awful voice echoed through the house.
"Upstairs." I said, as heard his footsteps walking up too.

He entered through my bedroom an saw the phone.
"Who were you talking to?" He asked.
"My friend, Macie." I plainly said, passing him the phone.
"Okay. If I find out your lying, your going to get a punishment." And with that, he left the room.

I don't have a friend named Macie. I made something up to get him to jot beat the hell out of me. I laid down on my back and looked at the blank ceiling from on my bed. I sighed again and heard a glass object being thrown again.

Making my way downstairs, I see my father passed out drunk from 4 empty bottles of wine, 5 beer cases opened up, and 2 coolers.

Welp...
Time to make my escape before he is sober again.

I run upstairs throwing on a pair of booty shorts, a pullover sweater, as converse. I packed up everything and ran downstairs with my passport in hand.

I grabbed my dads iphone from his pocket ad dialled Shawn's number.
"Hello?" His voice ring through the other side.
"Hey Shawn, it's Mason again. I was letting you know that I am on my way to the airport now for a Toronto flight.
Dads drunk off his ass and I thought this was a perfect opportunity!" I said excitedly.
"Okay great. I will be waiting at the Toronto airport then. Seen ya there! I can't wait to see your face again!" He shrieked before hanging up.
