Waking up to love is one of the best feelings ever. The constant incoming of positive messages can instantly lift a spirit. Luckily, this happened to me. Who knew Instagram could save me?

I hopped out of my bed and went to my closet to find something to wear. I slipped on a denim colored pair of sweats and a baby pink pocket tee. I threw on a pair of Nike slides before jumping in my car.

Within 7 minutes I was pulling into Shawn's driveway. I killed the engine and stepped out, closing the door behind me.

Shawn opened the front door before I even had the chance to knock.

"Hello!" he greeted me cheerfully.

Shawn wrapped his muscular arms around my torso, giving me a little squeeze.

"I missed you." My words mumbled against his neck.

"I missed you to princess." I looked at me, his eyes shirting from my eyes to my lips.

"If you want to kiss me, just do it."

He laughed before connecting our lips together. Fireworks exploded in my stomach and a smile smeared across my face.

"Your cute, you know that?" Shawn asked me with a smile on his face.

"I've heard it once or twice." I smirked.

We walked into his house which was empty to my surprise.

"Wanna watch a movie?" he asked, flopping on the couch and pulling me into his arms.

"If that even a question?"

I snuggled up into his chest, his touch making me feel instantly calm again.

He turned on the TV and scrolled through Netflix until we found a movie we both agreed on.

About halfway through the movie, Talia's eyes fluttered shut, her breathing became heavy. I watched the rest of the movie with her curled up in my chest.

"Talia, you ever going to wake up?" I kissed her forehead.

"mhm mhm." She shook her head no and snuggled up into my chest.

I wrapped my arms around her, holding her tight, and drifted off into a blissful rest.

"Shawn, I'm home" Aaliyah loud voice echoed through the quiet house.

"Sup A?" I asked as she made her way into the living room.

"Nothing much. Just a boring day at school." She sighed, "Why didn't you go today?"

"Can we talk about later?" I asked, not wanting to say anything about Talia's mom in front of her.

"Yep!"

Gladly, Aaliyah caught on quickly.

"When's mom coming home?" I asked.

I untangled my arms from Talia's petite body and followed Aaliyah into the kitchen.

"You want a snack?" I asked her as she sat onto a rather tall barstool.

"Can I have an apple?"

I grabbed an apple from the refrigerator and cut in up into small pieces. I handed her the apple in which she replied with a simple thank you.

"You're a great brother, you know that?" Aaliyah said out of the blue.

"I've heard it a few times." I flipped my imaginary long hair and hugged her from behind, "You're a great sister, you know that."

"I try."
