"Shawn come with me to Aaliyah's thing thing" I said checking the time, it's 10:30am. He nods. "Okay just wait outside" He said. I nod walking down the stairs, I sat on the bottom of the stairs looking outside.

"So does like the fans know?" He asked. I shake my head no. "It's kind of private until she thinks it's okay to be announced. I don't want her dealing with all these hate and things, even though she's a strong one, she could be fragile" I said. He nods understanding. "Okay I need to go, Aaliyah got some important thing and I need to attend it" I said. "Cya" I waved to him before walking down stairs. "BOO!" I yelled pushing her lightly. "AHH!" She yelped standing up. "Shawn what the fuck!" She screamed stomping her foot. I smiled at her. "Come on" I said dragging her outside. "Shawwnnn" She whined. "You're mean" She pouted. "Awe" I said pouting as well. "You got scared, that's sad" I pouted again teasing her. "Argh, fuck you" She said walking away.

"Malia!" I called for her. She turned around and gave me the finger before jumping into her car. I laughed shaking my head and jumped into my car. I dialled her number as I drove. I put her on speaker and placed my phone on my lap. "What" She said answering the call. "Drop your car off at home and we'll drive together to Aaliyah's school" I said. "Whatever" She muttered. "Awh Malia I know you still love me" I said. "Since when did I say I love you?" She asked, her voice serious. My face dropped, I pushed it too far. I didn't realise it was too early for her to say she loved me back, I said I needed to give her time but I guess it took over.

"S-sorry, you're right" I said as my eyes kind of watered. Weak for a girl, madly in love. "Shawn?" She asked, god that voice of hers. Sounds like an angel either way, singing or normally talking. "Y-yeah?" I asked trying to ignore the lump in my throat. "Shawn, I was joking. Baby don't worry do love you" She said. "I've said it before" She said softly. "I love you more" I said. She ended the call as I reached home, I saw her car parked on the driveway. She spotted my car and jumped in the front seat. I started driving to Aaliyah's school.

"Shawn.. You're eyes are red" I said softly touching his cheek. His eyes focused on the road, he forced a plain smile. I felt bad, I didn't mean to hurt him. I never knew how much my words could affect him. I bit my lip as I reached for his hand and intertwined it with mine. I soft caressed his thumb. "I do love you Shawn.. Words can't explain. It's been only two weeks together and I've already admitted it" I said softly. "It's fine, I'm sorry for overreacting." He smiled parking the car.

"No you're all good" I said hopping out of the car. He intertwines his hand with mine as we walked into the school. "Just glad I haven't lost you" He smiled shoulder hugging me tightly. "You'll never loose me" I smiled back. "Good" He smiled planting a soft kiss on my lips. We entered the hall and sat on the seats.

Shawn was on his phone for basically the whole presentation which made me curious of what he was doing. He usually wouldn't be like this, he would support his sister more. I shook it off as we walked out of the halls. I saw Aaliyah run up to us. "Hey kid!" I smiled hugging her. "I was glad Shawn made it" She beamed brightly looking over at him. "Shawn!" She waved to him, he gave a simple wave back before digging his head back onto his phone. I raised my eyebrow at him.

Aaliyah gave me the same look, I shrugged. "Well I'm proud, what did you get it for again?" I asked kneeling down to her. "Academic results" She smiled proudly. "I'm sure Shawn is very proud, he's just... busy" I lied to her. She nods understanding. "Okay I'll pick you up at 3" I smiled at her. "Bye" She waved before walking back. I walked over to Shawn and tried to peek on his phone. I saw he was texting someone, there were heart emojis but it didn't bug me. I trust him. "Come on Shawn" I said dragging him to the car. "Wait" He said typing away. I rolled my eyes, I'm really in the mood for bananas.
