The Swift-Sheeran Family.

Chapter 21

I get home and start to check my Twitter, I immediately see hate comments about me apparently not letting Shawn do what he wants for Christmas. I bite my lip and see the trending hashtag "#b*****arabella" I put my phone down and get changed and try to take my mind off it.
"F******* media at it again," Shawn sighs.
"Mm,"
"A, babe are you upset." He takes my hand and sits me down on our bed and kisses my temple.
"I just, ugh, I just hate when it gets to the level where there's a trending hashtag about me." I feel one stray tear slip down my cheek. "Am I really such a bad person?"
"No, you bloody well aren't." Shawn says through gritted teeth. He laces our fingers together and grabs his phone.
Shawn's POV:
This has to stop. I get onto Twitter and send out a tweet: "My girl's crying over you. She's not one to take crap, trust me but your s***** actions have made her breakdown. Stop it." I send it and put my phone down again.
"What did you do?" A asks quietly.
"Sorted it out," I reply as I put my arm round her shoulders and pull her close.
"Thank you," She tells me as I kiss the top of her head.
"It's my job beautiful," She smiles slightly.
I watch her fall asleep and lie down next to her before feeling my eyes droop too.

I wake up the following morning and look down to see Arri sleeping soundly. I smile at her cuteness and get out my phone. It was everywhere that I'd defended A. I grin and call my Mom to catch up.
Arri wakes up eventually and we sit in bed for a while talking about everything.
"Do you want to go out for breakfast?" I ask as I fiddle with her fingers and the promise ring around one of them.
"Okay," She says and rests her head on my shoulder.
"Mm, we could wait for lunch though." I tell she was getting comfortable.
"Alright," I laugh at her simple answers.
"Do we need to get anything else for anyone?"
"Probably, I haven't checked the list." She sighs as she reaches with the hand I wasn't holding for her glasses. She props them on her nose and then nestles back into me as I kiss the top of her head gently.
We end up going out for lunch after a really chilled morning. A young girl walks up to us in the restaurant.
"Hey, are you Arabella and Shawn?"
"We are indeed, sorry I couldn't be bothered to put contacts in this morning."
"I get that too. I just wanted to thank you, you've helped me speak out about the cyber bullying I was going through. I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday too,"
"Thank you," Arri says and smiles widely.
"You're my favourite type of fan you know," I say and her smile glows; "You're not about evidence you just want to talk to us. Thanks for that,"
"Thank you for helping me so much," She replies graciously and we get up to give her a hug and we sign napkins for her.
"She was lovely," Arri tells me and I nod. A gang of girls then come over causing a huge racket.
"Crap," I exhale slowly as they come closer.
"Oh. My. God!"
"It's really you!"
"Girls, are you aware how much noise you're making?" A asks as they all squeal.
"We don't care! We're meeting famous people!" We stand up reluctantly to take pictures and a waitress ends up walking over and asks them to leave us in peace.
"Thank you," I say and she nods.
"So we need to buy Ed's mom some stuff and I need to do Ed and Evie too," A looks at her list.
The food comes and we eat before leaving. I intertwine my fingers with A's as we walk through the streets. Occasional paparazzi ask us questions and one strikes me; "Is new up and coming artist Erin Johnson your ex?" Only then do we bump into her and cameras gather around us. She walks through the streets with bodyguards and I roll my eyes and hold Arri's hand tighter.
"Hello!" She smiles at us and you could see the makeup practically falling off her face.
"Hey," Arri says bluntly.
"So how have you been 4 eyes?" I glare at her insult towards A.
"Good, I haven't been playing childish games at the moment."
"Anyway, we've got somewhere to be and I'm sure you do too. Let's go," I pull A away, angry.
"Shawn," She slows my pace, "Calm down, being called 4 eyes isn't going to change me. Why don't we go home?"
"Fine," I snap and she looks taken aback and drops her hand from mine. The walk home is silent and when we get in A grabs her car keys and begins to leave. Before she can I pull her close to me and collide my lips with hers. I place sweet kisses against her lips and she giggles.
"Alright Prince Charming, how angry are we now?"
"God damn A, I'm supposed to be holding a grudge."
"Well I'm now leaving for no apparent reason,"
"Elf is on TV, get your ass over here and cuddle with me," I say and she walks back in, takes off her coat and sits down next to me. I place her in between my legs and we watch the movie, well she watches the movie. I watch her and all her cute little mannerisms.
"Love you," I whisper against her hair before kissing the top of her head.
"Love you too Mendes, now ssh this is the best part," She slaps my knee twice to signal and I laugh.
"Shut up! Shawn I'm trying to watch!" She moans and I go silent.
"Okay, you can talk now," She says as the film draws to a close.
"Nah I'm good," I grin at her.
