SHAWN

I woke up to Ellie not laying next to me. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes— if that's even a thing— and walked out of my room and to the living room.

Ellie's head was resting upon Cameron's chest, her eyes were trying as hard as they possibly could to stay open. Cameron was having the same problem. Awee!

I sat down on the couch in front of them and grabbed the remote. I flicked through the channels and stopped at spongebob because he is life.

I rubbed my face and felt someone staring. I uncovered my eyes and caught Cameron staring at my midsection.

I blushed, along with him. That was weird.

I got up to cook something to eat for everyone. Ellie is probably hungry. I'll make waffles, eggs, bacon, and sausage. Yum.

I got everything out and started cooking. Nash appeared out of nowhere, he stretched and smiled.

"Morning Shawn."

"Morning." I said back.

"Hey I wa--" Ellie ran in, hugging me by the waist and interrupting Nash. He just laughed. I hugged her back and motioned Nash to keep going.

"I was wondering if sky could come over and hang with Ellie. I told her about it and she got all excited and stuff." He said, I nodded and shrugged.

"Sounds good to me. That'll give Ellie someone to play with." I said and he smiled, pulling out his phone then leaving the room.

Ellie sat down at the table, playing with some of he toys and singing a song that's all too familiar.

"Now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches." She sang quietly.

"Ellie? Where'd you hear that song?" I asked.

"Cameron let me listen to it, he said it was you daddy! I love your voice!" She smiled sweetly.

"Thank you princess." She said you're welcome then went back to playing. She's so sweet.

After everyone ate, we all just sat in the living unsure of what to do.

I stood to my feet and stretched. I should get a shirt on, I feel awkward as all hell.

CAMERON

Shawn stood up and stretched.

Woah

I was more than likely drooling. He's so perfect. His back muscles flexed and call me weird or whatever but I don't care, his ass is to die for.

Everyone knows that I love him. Other than Shawn himself. I've always been too scared to tell him. It would ruin our friendship.

I bit my lip and tugged at my hair and watched as he walked down the hall and in his room.

"You need to tell him Cameron." Taylor said from the other couch.

"No way!" I said raising my voice a little.

"It's gonna kill you if you don't! How do you know he doesn't feel the same?" Nash added.

"Nash, I know he doesn't feel the same. It's obvious. He will never feel like that towards me." I said. The words that left my mouth were like knives to my chest.

My "girlfriend" is just a cover up. She's actually my cousin and is trying to help. It's so awkward.

Shawn came back out with a shirt on. I frowned. I need to get his attention, maybe he doesn't love me now, but he will in the future.

SHAWN

It's around 8 at night and Ellie is sleeping in her room. Nash, Taylor, and Aaron are sleeping. Cameron is in the shower and it's just me on the couch watching some random kids show that Ellie had on before she went to bed.

Sky will be here tomorrow. Ellie is beyond excited about the whole thing.

Tomorrow I have to get groceries, some things for the house and Ellie starts school on Monday so I have to get her some school supplies. There's a lot.

I'm still getting used to the responsibility. I mean, I can handle it but it's still pretty hard.

I'll do anything I have to for my little girl.

My phone rang. It scared the shit out of me.

I picked it up and it was my mum. I forgot to call her yesterday!! Oh I'm so screwed!

"Shawn Peter Raul Mendes!! I told you to call me!!!" She said, obviously upset and yelling a little.

"I know, I know! I've been busy." I said.

"I seen mahoganys picture of you guys on Instagram! She is too cute!!" I yawn.

"Yeah, she's adorable. What have you guys been up to?" I ask.

"Well the squirrels are in the attic again. I told your father to call an exterminator but he says its personal this time." I laugh. (A/N: I think that's from a geico commercial 😂)

"Yeah tell him I said good luck." She laughed.

"It's getting late. I'll call you later Peter."

"Night mom."

"Love you." We hung up and I set my phone down on the coffee table.

I've always been closer to my mom. I don't know. I'm just a mommas boy I guess.

I laid my head back and put my hand in my hair, planning out how tomorrow is gonna go.

The bathroom door opened from down the hallway and Cameron walked out with a towel hanging loosely on his waist.

I'm praying to the gay gods that it falls.

Droplets of water fell from the pieces of hair that were hanging over his face, and made their way unto his toned abs that are to die for--- WAIT WHAT? NOOOOO!

"Hey have you seen my brush? I can't find it." He said. His voice was deep and low.

"No, you can use mine if you want." I said and he nodded.

"Thanks." I nod and wave him off.

I'd be lying if I said I'm NOT SCREAMING INSIDE.
