As Far As Possible

"RORRY, RORRY!!! WAKE UP!!!" " WHY Aaliyah!!! Why do I have to wake up so early" I whined. " Because my parents already left to pick my brother up from the airport. They'll be here in an hour about. Get up!" She said, still jumping on my bed. It was actually really nice in Pickering. It was pretty cold up here in winter, colder than Seattle for sure, but it was nice. I felt safe for once. I finally rolled out of bed and went to my closet to find an outfit fit for like a foot of snow. It's rare we get a ton of snow in Washington. It's normal to barely get an inch. I pulled out leggings, a cream colored sweater and a black, navy blue and green flannel. I aplied the normal makeup, but I put on some foundation and blush, and let my hair down in my natural waves. Aaliyah came in my room begging me to braid her hair, like every morning it seems like. As I braided her hair, she rambled on about how I would love her brother. When I finished braiding her hair like Katniss form hunger games, we sat on my bed and watched Cameron Dallas Vines." Aaliyah! We're home!!!" Manny hollard. Aaliyah ran like a freaking cheetah down the stairs to greet her brother. I was laughing at her as I threw on my mockisons before heading down to meet the mystery boy. I heard him talking to Aaliyah. Why did he sound so familiar? He wasn't facing me when I entered the living room, until Aaliyah pointed at me. Oh My GOD!!! AALIYAH' BROTHER, THE FAMILY I'M LIVING WITH, IS SHAWN MENDES!!! " Hi I'm Shawn." He said extending his hand for me to shake. " Rorry" I said shaking his hand. This was interesting. Flashes of my past came into my view. Crap. I gripped the bridge of my nose, trying to clear my mind. " Rorry? Are you okay sweetheart?" Karen asked, feeling my forehead. " No, your son's one of my triggers!!!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms in the air. The visions weren't leaving my head. I saw my father, abusing his own daughter. I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to calm my self. " What do you mean he's a trigger. What does he trigger?" Karen asked. Shawn looked so confused. I just looked at her and she knew exactly what her son triggers. " Oh gosh. He triggers flashbacks" I just nodded. " What do I trigger!?! I'm so confused" Shawn said, looking generally concerned while Aaliyah, poor Aaliyah, was standing behind her brother's protection, trying not to cry. " We'll explain everything to you, Shawn, later" Manny said. Shawn just nodded, not taking his eyes off me. I needed to cool off. I had two options in my head, go upstairs to the bathroom and live with the pain, or run. Manny blocked the stairs, so option one was a no go, so I walked over to the front door, looking straight ahead, ignoring what the mendes family had to say. I walked faster when I entered the entry way, opening the door and walking out into the freezing weather, with out a coat. I sat under the tree in the front lawn and let my emotions free.
20 minutes later, Shawn came out and sat by me. We made no eye contact, just sat there. A blast of cold air attacked us, sending shivers down my entire body. " Here" Shawn said, removing his jacket and draping it around my shoulders. " Thanks" I mumbled barley audible. " You've been treated like hell, Rowan, I'll never truly understand what you've been through, but I'd like to have a general idea by knowing you. Hi I'm Shawn." " Yah, I know. I'm A BIG fan. I'm Rowan but you can call me Rorry If you want." " Ok, what is your favorite song?" " Give me love by Ed Sheeran." "Me too! I'm planning to make a cover on it before I leave for MagCon again." " Oh my Gosh. I can't even explain how badly I've been wanting to go to one of those." " then why don't you come with me to the next stop?" " I can't Shawn, I can't go back to the U.S yet. It's not safe for me." " Don't worry, I can protect you." He said, wrapping his arm around me. As I laid my head on his shoulder, I felt something that I haven't fe I think in a long time. Safety.
" Let's head inside before I freeze to death." He said helping me up out of the snow.
