Growing up a Mendes

1|Alarm Clock

Louisse

"Louisse!" Shawn yells as I sneaked out from his room and laid down immediately on my bed pretending I'm asleep.

I heard my door slams and I'm holding back my breath to prevent myself from bursting into laughter.

"Louisse!" He calls and shakes me. I blinked and rubbed my eyes pretending that I just woke up. I'm such a great actress! I'd audition to broadway some time. Lmao hahaha

"Don't you fool me you're asleep! It's fucking 5 in the morning and you're disturbing my supposedly 10 am woke up time." He rolls his eyes and I couldn't help but to burst into laughter.

"Oh my gosh, Shawn! Your face is so priceless I should've bought some popcorn before putting the alarm clock infront of your face." I said laughing. Yep, you heard it right! I set the alarm clock a minute before I ran out from his room and placed it infront of his face. I always do that when I woke up too early to tease him. And I tell you, it's damn worth it!

"Shut up, Lou. Let me sleep in peace and get a life." He frowns before leaving my room. I'm still dying because of laughing.

"You got him mad again." Aaliyah walks inside my room and sat on the edge of it.

"Did you saw his face? It's like heaven and earth just crashed down to him." I said lively and chuckled.

"Lou, you always do that. He came home 3 in the morning and I'm pretty sure he's super pissed." She responds while giggling.

If i knew, Aaliyah! You're happy to see him like that too.

"Where did he go?" I changed the topic.

"Laur's birthday? That's what I've heard from Matt." She replies and I brushed her curly hair using my fingers.

"What? She didn't even invited us?" I huffed while braiding her hair and she chuckles.

"That's an adults party, Lou." She says.

"Adult? They're just 17 for goodness sake! And I'm 16, like duh. Not that they're way older than me." I rolled my eyes and continued what I am doing. I'm always annoyed with Lauren's presence. I don't know why. Maybe I find her a flirt because she's into Shawn while close with Aaron. Tss. Bitch.

"Still, we're not even close to their circle of friends. We might just get out of place there and sulk in one corner of the room." She explains and I tied the end of her hair. I really adore her curly and beautiful hair.

"Fine. So, how's hockey yesterday? Too bad I didn't watched. You know school is a pain in the ass." I joked as I stood up.

"It was great! And yeah, I really expected you and Shawn there though you didn't promise but Shawn did! But he never came. He was busy with Laur, I was kinda disappointed."

Awe. My baby girl's gloomy.

I hugged her.

"I'm sorry, Aaliyah. I promise I'll be there every game. I'll ditch groupworks and stuff. Don't be sad." I said cheering her up and she smiles.

"Thanks, Lou. You don't have to. Just be there if you have free time. I understand." She replies canorously and I nodded.

We decided to go downstairs to have breakfast and we caught mom cooking at the kitchen.

"Good morning girls." She greets and we kissed her on the cheek.

"Morning, mom." I greeted and sat on the counter watching her cooking.

"I heard Shawn yelling earlier. Did you pissed him again, Lou?" I hide my evil grin and didn't denied what she asked.

"Better stop it honey. I don't want you and Shawn fight because of it." She reminds and felt a slight guilt. Just a slight!

"Yes, mom." As she places our food on the table.

Aaliyah giggles beside me and I pinched the tip of her nose.

"Where's dad?" Aaliyah asks and yeah. Where's dad?

"Still preparing upstairs. Can you call her, honey? Breakfast is ready." Mom says and I nodded.

I ran upstairs and knocked on my parents room.

"Dad! Breakfast is ready!" I called and I caught him fixing his tie.

I helped him and gave him a sweet smile. I'm a daddy's girl ever since.

"Thanks, princess." He says as I finished it.

We jogged downstairs and started to eat.

"Where's Shawn?" Dad asks.

"Still snoring on his bed." I replied while chewing.

"Where he have been last night?" He asks calmly and why would I answer that? I don't even knew where he was 'til Aaliyah told me.

"Laur's birthday, dad." Aaliyah respond instead.

"Oh. She didn't invited the two of you, eh?" Yes, right dad! That's what I'm saying earlier. You really are my father! We have the same thoughts. Lol.

"Yep. She don't want kids on her party" I joked and they laughed.

"I think Shawn would insist too. Cuz he had to babysit his two sisters if you were there." Mom says.

"We're not babies mom. We're already teens!" I said cheerfully and she chuckles.

We prepared after breakfast because I decided to go out with Aaliyah today.

"Done?" I asked her when I walked to her room.

"Almost. Just have to tie my hair." She replies and I helped her. I grabbed the hairbrush and brushed her hair.

"Don't tie it. I love it that way." I suggest and she nods.

"Text me gradually and take care, aright girls?" Mom reminds us.

"Copy that, mom." I rogered to her and she laughs.

"Shawn!" Mom yells and Shawn jogs downstairs drowsily.

"Drive safely" She pats his shoulder and we kissed mom goodbye.

"Eyes on the road, Shawn! I don't wanna die young. I have to see Nick first!" I reminded him. He keeps on texting while driving. I don't want us to be wrecked!

My heart skips a beat when I said Nick's name! My ultimate crush. Yes, Nick Robinson is my bae.

I snatched his phone and checked on it.

Lauren ❤ :

See ya later! :*

The text says and he grabbed it from me.

"Shit.. Lou! Why are you so nosy?" He asks irritated.

"Excuse me?" I huffed and crossed my arms.

Did he just cursed at me? What the hell?

And Laur and him will see each other again? I thought he'll accompany us! No, he won't leave us just for that girl!

"Stop invading my privacy for goodness!" He complains.

"You won't go with Lauren." I said firmly rolling my eyes out of the window.

"And why not?"

"Because you're with us! Mom took you incharge to take care of your sisters and not to have a date!" I groaned and he parks the car.

"You're 16 and old to take care yourself on your own." He responds and I stepped outside of the car.

"What? So you'd go on a date and foresake us?" I yelled.

"Lou.." Aaliyah calls and holds my hand.

"You know what? Nevermind! I hope you'd have fun and enjoy your date!" I said and dragged myself and Aaliyah out of Shawn's sight. I hate him! I feel so annoyed and irritated! I almost feel a raging anger inside of me. I am getting mad of what?

"Where we at?" Aaliyah asks.

I sighed and smiled at her.

"Ballpit?" I asked happily. She clapped and nodded.
