Slipping~A Shawn Mendes Fan Fic~

~Chapter Twenty~

Gloria's POV~
I stretched out of bed and grabbed my phone off my desk, it was 8:00 so I had a lot of time.

I walked downstairs and my brother Cruz who is only a year younger than me was watching tv, "Sup bruh" I ruffle his hair.

He shoots me a glare and fixes his hair "Not much, can you give me a ride to Brandon's later?" "What time?" I say grabbing a glass and the OJ carton,

"Whenever", I shrug, "Well I'm leaving to school at 1:00 soo, Wait did you get the ok to start break early too?" I turn around quickly and raise an eyebrow, "Yea."

I wasn't surprised my brother is a better student than me he gets straight A's. "I'll drop you off at 12:30, ok? I grab a granola bar and go back to my room.

I eat my granola bar and creep insta. By now it's 8:45 I go to my closet and picked out tribal Aqua and white nike pros, a matching Aqua sports bra, a t-shirt and my black and white free runs. I put my hair in a pony tail.

I told my brother I was going for a run, and that to make sure he cleans up his room.

I stepped out into the fresh air and stretched. I ran for a while then decided to turn around. I was going by Shawn's house when I hear my name being called,

"GLORIA!" I looked over to see Mrs.Mendes with her gardening gloves on waving at me. I slowed down and walked up to her with a smile.

"Hi Mrs.Mendes, how are you?", "Oh I'm good hun, how about you?", I give a small smile "I'm hanging in there.", she looks at me and smiles softly, "Shawn told me what happened, I'm sorry for your loss.",

"Thank you it means more than you think." I look over the white fence between us, "Are you planting a rose bush?" I ask. "Why yea I am!", I flinch a little after what happened roses aren't the same, as weird as is it sounds.

"Well it will do good here, my mom has one and they bloom nicely in this area." I smile. "Well that's good to know." She grabs some soil and starts to fill in the hole.

"Well it was nice seeing you Mrs.Mendes, I hope that rose bush does well." "Thank you honey I'll see you soon I hope." I smile and give a little wave and go back to running.

When I get home I tell Cruz to start getting ready. I go upstairs shower, and then pick an outfit.

I put on white shorts, a neon orange floral croptop and white vans. I straighten my hair and grab my keys. I run down stairs, "Cruz you ready?", "Yea."

We hop in the car and I bring him to his friends.

I when I get home it's 12:50. I just decide to go on Instagram and wait until Shawn gets here. I was completely in a daze when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" I yelled.

Soon enough a smile grew on my face, he was wearing khakis, a white and black tribal sweatshirt, and black vans. "Hey." I said getting up and giving him a hug.

"Hey." He replied softly, "How's it going?" I look up at him. "Easier than I thought to be honest, I though it would be harder to keep my mind off it but I guess the past two weeks have been good to me." I smile a little.

"Well I'm glad." He says. We sat on the couch watching tv until I looked up at the clock and realized it was 1:15 "We should get going." I look at Shawn. "Okie dokie." He replies in a two year old voice.
