Adopted by Nash Grier

Chapter 18

I felt bad for leaving Nash after just meeting that girl but she seemed really familiar and I had realized where from.

"Why'd we leave? Imani seemed nice." I heard Shawn's voice and jumped. I had completely forgotten I brought him with me.

"She is. Its just, she was in my first foster home. Yes, I've been to two but the first burnt after just a week of me being there. I had just turned 6 and was put up for adoption. Anyways, Imani was the first one to talk to me and I had become sort of close to her. I left the house before she could recognize me. I didn't need to be reminded of the damage done to the children. I thought I was the only who had gotten out." Shawn stayed silent and just held my hand.

"I see. Then, if we aren't staying at your house, where are we going?" Crap. I hadn't thought of that.

"I'm not sure. I hadn't thought of that when I left."

"We could go to my house. My parents would like to meet you seeing how much time I spend with you."

"If you want. Would you like to drive? I feel like I'm going over the speed limit." He laughed and nodded his head. I pulled over and we both got out to switch sides. As we met in front of the car he picked me up and put me on the hood of the car. "Shawn, what're you doing?" He didn't say anything he just kept staring at me. After what felt like forever, he kissed me. There was one emotion in the kiss. Love. And it felt nice. This is how I know he cared.

We got to Shawn's house and he pulled in the driveway shutting my car off. The drive had consisted of us singing and dancing like fools. He got out of the car and opened the door for me. I must've looked nervous because Shawn grabbed my hand and told me not to worry.

We walked up to his front door and he knocked. He looked down at me and smiled as his mom opened the door.

"Shawn! Hi honey, I've missed you." She looked at me, "who's this?"

"Mom, this is Melody. Nash's dau- little sister. And my amazing Girlfriend." She looked confused for a moment.

"But I thought you were dating Bethany?" I had tensed at the mention of her and Shawn noticed and squeezed my hand reassuringly.

"No, mom. I broke up with her months ago. I uh... Caught her cheating on me, with Taylor." My eyes widened and his mom looked surprised. "But, I got Melody, and Taylor explained everything to me so we are good. But don't allow Bethany to come over. Ever." His mom nodded and looked at me.

"Hi, my names Karen. Nice to meet you." I smiled and shook her hand as she led us into the house.

Shawn looked at me and asked if I wanted to go up to his room. I nodded and that's exactly where we went.
