The Swift-Sheeran Family.

Chapter 25

Tour starts today. Like in 5 minutes. "Arri get your ass out there!" My manager calls.
With that I'm on stage.
"Good evening Nashville, it's an honour to start my world tour here!" The crowd goes mental, "This is Love Myself,"
The show passes like a blur and I see my whole family watching me in the front block. I see Shawn and Chloe and Elle all with glow sticks and merch which makes me smile.
"You lot look absolutely incredible tonight, please will you dance in this next one?" Cheers erupt out of the silence. "Okay, this is Outside!"
I eventually finish the set and run off stage ecstatic. I see James standing next to Tom and my smile grows.
"Awwi!" He leaps into my arms and I hold him tightly.
"Arri, may I speak to you?" James bites his lip and I nod. He pulls me over to the side; "She's back on,"
"What?! What do you mean she's back on?" I ask quietly as a security guard walks up to me.
"Excuse me, Arabella, there's a woman who looks induced in some form of drug outside, she's claiming she's your mother."
"What?" My voice grows till it's practically inaudible.
He walks me to a window where she is stood outside with a bottle of alcohol and a cigarette, clearly of weed.
"Get her out of here, take away the alcohol. Send her to rehab, I'll pay the costs just get her out of my siblings sight," Tears roll down my cheek and I feel broken.
"I can organise for the money to get back to you-" James starts as my friends and family burst through the door.
"Did you spend it on my brother?"
"Of course,"
"Then it's gone to the right place. Don't take him near her or a care home. You better not go there either," He nods as more tears flood down my cheeks.
"Can I have some time with my Mom please?" I don't even turn round but I feel them leave and Mom step forward and place her hand on my shoulder.
Taylor's POV:
My poor, poor little girl.
"Come here baby," I pull her into a hug and stroke her hair gently. "Ssh, ssh," I coo and sit us down on a couch.
"I can't believe she turned back," She sobs into my chest and I stroke her back now, the tips of my fingers tracing the shape of her spine.
"I know it's a lot to take in darling, I know. Just be the strong little girl I know, the strong little girl I've always known." I plant a kiss on the top of her head.
"I don't know what to do,"
"You don't know what to do?"
"Do I cancel this and check on her?" She looks up at me, her face smeared with makeup and her eyes bloodshot.
"No, no, no! I don't care if I have to come for the whole thing, I'd leave everything I have for you to do this A. You put in so much work, so much time, you're so dedicated. Don't give up on your dream baby girl,"
"But what if my dream's not just this, what if it's to make sure that my brother doesn't end up like me,"
"Precious, I'll do whatever it takes to make you feel better- just please don't bail on everyone. People are watching on TV this time too, you're the youngest person to on their own play this size arena, to win all these incredible awards. It's an honour for other artists to be in your company A, you should know that." I kiss her forehead as I squeeze her hands.
"Thank you Mom," She whispers as there's a knock on the door.
"Come in," Arri calls and in walks Shawn and Ev. Shawn helps Ev carry a bouquet of lily's and I smile.
"For you Arri!" Ev passes the flowers to her smiling sister.
"Thank you!" She grins and Shawn passes her a tissue. "Thanks Mendes," She says after a while. He simply plants a kiss on her temple and squeezes her hand.
"A, are you okay now?" Elle walks in and she nods, Chloe soon follows.
I end up walking out to see Tom and I leave my daughter with her friends.
Arri's POV:
"Let's go out," Chloe tells us as she walks round the dressing room.
"Where, it's like 11pm?" Elle asks as I sit next to Shawn.
"Oh come on, let's just go out."
"Well I'm hungry so," Shawn states and we all end up getting in his car. I go on his phone and snapchat as he gets McDonald's. Me, Elle and Chloe were all in the back as the radio played recent songs.
"Holy s***," The attendant murmurs as he hands Shawn our order.
"Yeah," Elle speaks up; "He's come out with his girlfriends!"
"Wait what happened to Brooklyn?" The attendant asks Chloe who was already downing a milkshake.
"Oh, he's coming over tomorrow, Shawn's my stand in."
"Hey, Brooklyn Beckham's coming to my show?"
"Yeah, with his family," I nearly choke as we drive off.
"You alright Swift?" Shawn asks as we drive through the streets.
"The f****** Beckham's are coming to my show," I say and he smiles.
"Oh stop being so modest," Elle says and rolls her eyes as we come to halt outside the park.
"Ey! Mendes is so tumblr!" Chloe gushes and we laugh and climb out. We sit on the swings and eat our McDonald's and I enjoy the time with my friends.
"Guys Brooklyn's just landed, should we go get them from the airport?" Chloe asks.
"So I'm already out of business as the back up boyfriend?"
"Yes, now what do you think?"
"Isn't it late?" Elle asks.
"Come on! Please,"
"Fine we'll go, they better have a mini bus though,"
"We can get some cabs, it'll be fine." Shawn says as it goes midnight.
"You two are so low maintenance for hot artists I swear," Elle tells us as we walk back to Shawn's car.
"We don't have to wear designer brands, security doesn't have to follow us everywhere. We're hardly normal anyway," Shawn sighs and takes my hand as we approach the gates to the park.
"Have we got rehearsals tomorrow?" I change the subject.
"You betcha," Chloe responds with a wink and I laugh.
We get to the airport and I get extremely tired; "A, you wanna stay here babe?"
"Mm," I try to open my eyes slightly but squint in the light of the car park.
"I'm staying," Elle let's us know and leans against my shoulder.
"Okay, we'll be back in half an hours," Chloe answers and she and Shawn go off as me and Elle pass out.
I wake up as I feel myself in the air. "Ugh, why am I in the air?" I feel a soft chuckle from what sounded like Shawn.
"I'm letting Brooklyn and Chloe so together gorgeous,"
"Oh," I mutter and rest my head against Shawn's collarbone as he opens the car door.
We get home after dropping Brooklyn and Chloe at their hotel and Elle was staying another night.
I climb into bed next to Shawn when he quickly brings up something I'd never thought of; "A, do you think an A would look nice here?" He points to a bare patch on his tattoo.
"Shawn, I'm not so sure you should commit to something like that," I say worriedly as he pulls me closer to him.
"But what if I want to," He speaks quietly as Elle is in the other room.
"It's your choice but I really don't think you need too," I sigh and trace the guitar shape that sits on his forearm.
"Have you ever considered it? Getting a tattoo?" He asks after a moments comfortable silence.
"I can't commit, I'm sorry," I whisper.
"No, no babe! I didn't mean anything like that," He kisses my forehead. "I just wondered, that's all."
"Please don't think I'm not committing to you, I just don't have that much trust in a lot of people,"
"A," He sighs and takes my hands; "As long as you trust me, that's all that matters and no mark on your skin needs to show that, okay?" He rubs soft circles on my hands with his thumbs then gently lifts them to his lips and plants a kiss on each one.
"Okay," I peck his lips and fall back into his arms; "I love you Shawn,"
"I love you too Arri,"
