I nervously awaited for the arrival of my mom. Shawn's 'meet and greet' is supposed to last until 6:00. My mom is supposed to come home at 5:15. If everything stays on schedule, there's a slim chance that I can see him.

As 5:20 rolls around, I start to lose hope.

5:25

5:30

5:35

5:40

5:45

5:50

5:55

6:00

All hope that I had was gone.

At 6:15, bright headlights flash through the front window. I see two figures stumble out of the car and try to walk inside. One is a male and one is my mom.

She attempts to giggle the front door open, but quickly gives up and resorts to ringing the doorbell several times in a row.

I help her out by twisting the knob and letting her and this 'mystery man' inside.

"Ohhhhh heeey girl!" my mother slurred as she stumbled inside.

"meet your furrture daddy, or should I say my daddy." She giggles, obviously drunk.

"What the frick mom?" I ran over to Jackson and covered his ears, "Jackson, why don't you go upstairs and play. Ill be right up."

He nodded his head and dashed upstairs.

"I'm sorry sir, but you have to leave." I politely turned his body around and pushed him lightly out of our house.

I sat him down in shotgun and got inside the driver's seat.

"Where did you meet my mother?" I asked, turning on the car and backing out of our driveway.

The man sat there dazed and confused.

"This is helpless." I groaned and dialed my mother's number.

"Heeeey girrrrl!" she slured from the other line.

"I need you to tell be where you met my future dad." I demanded.

"It was this wonderfuuuul club named peaches. You should stop by." She laughed.

"Okay." I dropped the call.

We kept driving for what seemed like hours until we reached a strip club names Peaches.

"Here you go." I unlocked the car.

He struggled to get out of the car, but managed to finally get out.

Without taking a second look, I started driving back.

The night seemed to drag on forever. I put my mom and Jackson to bed. It was a struggle, but it got done.

As I finally reached my bed, I got a message.

@shawnmendes; I miss you today.

11:47

I read the message, but didn't respond. I turned off all the lights in my room, and fell into a deep slumber.
