Arri's POV:
We were sat watching TV when we hear the door go and Cara and Gigi sit bolt upright.
"For Christ's sake! He's gonna think you're flipping stalkers," Karlie hisses at them and I laugh.
"A! Where's everyone gone?" He shouts from the kitchen.
"Hospital,"
"Oh," He pauses; "Who survived?" Cara and Gigi begin to get very excited and Karlie hits them both.
"Just Gigi, Cara and Karlie,"
"Hey! Anyone want anything to drink?" He walks in briefly and collects drink orders before walking out.
The phone starts to ring and Shawn picks it up. "Hi Taylor... Sure... I'll pass you over, A it's your Mom."
"Do I have to get up?"
"Yes,"
"Please,"
"I'm not letting you get the better of me,"
"I don't like you," I sigh, getting up to get the phone. I chat with Mom for a while then begin to make dinner for the 5 of us.
Karlie and Gigi help make dinner and Cara sits on the island, Shawn enters after a while and sits next to Cara.
"And what's for dinner?" Shawn asks as Cara flips through a magazine.
"Spaghetti," I sigh. "Ev's coming round with Austin and Liv too,"
"This household is literally open, do you ever lock the doors?" Karlie asks.
"That's a very rare occasion actually," Shawn replies and I laugh.
"True, Cara will you let them up?"
"Sure chum,"
"I'll lay the table A, save you stressing about it." Shawn tells me, grabbing knives and forks.
"Squirt! How you doing?"
"Good, you?"
"I'm alright thanks,"
"Hey Liv," I say to his girlfriend who was walking in with Ev.
"Hi Arri, do you need any help?"
"It's going okay although-"
"Auntie Karlie! Auntie Cara! It's time to play princesses!" Ev shouts and Karlie turns around.
"A, hun' is it okay if I go and play with her?"
"Liv welcome to the kitchen," She smiles as I pull her over. "And this is Gigi,"
"Hey," Gigi smiles at her and we prepare the meal together.
"Guys! Food's ready!" Gigi shouts to the five of them in the lounge.
People don't leave until it gets really late and Karlie goes to bed as we have to be up early. Me and Shawn tidy up the mess quietly.
"Babe, do you have to go? Can't you stay with me?" Shawn wraps his arms round my waist ad rests his head in the crook of my neck.
"No, I have to-"
"But I want you to stay,"
"But my agent needs me in NYC tomorrow," I say as he let's go and I feel a cool air rush over me. "Shawn, it's only three months," I say as he turns away.
"I know, I get it," He seemed annoyed so I headed to our room and changed I of my pyjamas then walked into the other spare room and begin to fall asleep. I can see pictures that Ev has drawn on the wall and feel a single tear trickle down my cheek. I don't want to go either.
I hear Shawn pad over to our room and listen as he climbs into the bed. I don't want to go and I wish he knew that.
I fall asleep eventually but awake a few hours later expecting it to be Karlie but instead I'm being lifted through the air.
"Shawn?"
"Gorgeous,"
"Why are you moving me out of the room?"
"I couldn't bare seeing you upset with me, and I can't sleep."
"So,"
"I need you to be next to me," He answers as he puts me down on the bed. He climbs in and puts his arms round me as I move closer to his chest.
"Love you," I whisper as he kisses my shoulder.
"Love you too beautiful,"
"Awe! They're so cute!" I hear a hushed Karlie who shakes me slightly.
"Morning," I say as I sit up.
"Woah," She gushes at Shawn's abs and I push her.
"Get changed!" I slip out of bed and pull the covers back up to where it was previously. I get changed and grab my suitcase. I kiss Shawn, careful not to wake him and head to Karlie who was waiting in the kitchen.
We go to our car and head to the airport. We arrive at the apartments and then I'm rushed off to begin the filming.
*3 months later*
"Arri!" I hear my sister as I meet her in the airport at LA.
"Hey Ev," I hug her and she only just reaches my waist. I look up to see Austin who was over here for work reasons.
"Hey A," He smiles and I hug him tightly, having missed my family whilst being away.
We had been booked in for the Ellen show for a long time but with Ev still in hospital Mom couldn't attend. We walk inside the studios after dropping our bags in the hotel.
"Hey girls," Ellen walks up to us and I wave at her as Ev runs up to her. "A, do you mind if we talk about Maya today? I know your publicist couldn't make it so I thought I ought to ask,"
"It should be fine, do you mind watching Ev whilst I just go and sort stuff out with the band," I reply and pass Ev over to her who was already standing right next to her.
"Alright, I'll see you in a bit, coming Ev?"
Then I see my band for like the first time in ages. There was squealing. A lot of it. We prepped then I saw Ellen come on the TV and with Ev grasping on to my hand we walked on together.
"Hey!"
"Hi!" I reply to Ellen's greeting as she hugs me.
"So, how's it going?"
"I'm doing awesome, you?"
"I'm good, now I hear you no longer live with your parents. Evelyn do you care to tell us why Arri doesn't live with you?"
"Well, it's because she has a boyfriend!" Ev throws her hands in the air and everyone laughs.
"In my defence, Mom was like; "Happy birthday! Here's your house keys! Bye!"
"Awe, Taylor if you're out there- you've done good! The first one's gone!" Ellen jokes about and I raise my eyebrows. "Alright! Chill! So, you're here to release your new single,"
"Yes, it's called Devotion,"
"And you'll perform that for us later?"
"Of course!"
"I have spoken to you about this, and if you feel okay to do so do you mind telling us why your Mom and other sister aren't here?"
"I'll give it a go, so for about 5 months my family have been in the hospital on and off," I gulp and stare at the floor for a moment; "It began when Mom called at 3 in the morning asking me to pick up Ev, I thought she was kidding so I arrived and saw my youngest sister struggling to breathe." I exhale slowly and I feel everyone staring at me. "The doctor told us it was asthma and that she was too young to treat. So the next two weeks I looked after Ev and she saw her parents once a day. She came out of hospital, she went back in, then 3 months ago my Mom was round with her friends when she just looks at Maya and picks her up and leaves." I can feel my eyes welling up; "The doctor told us that she has severe asthma and that we shouldn't expect to go a week without being in the hospital until she can get treated. I haven't seen my family for 3 months. I phone them once every three days whilst I'm working." I feel a tear drop down my face and Ellen reaches for my hand and passes me a tissue.
"Thank you Arri, we hope that the media don't interfere anymore, we'll see everyone after the break."
