I wake up on the floor in a strange room, with strange sounds floating up from downstairs. My pillow and blanket smell like Shawn and then I remember where I am, I decided to stay with the Mendes family instead of with Andrew in the hotel.
"Morning sunshine" Shawn smirks looking up at me from his phone, "did you forget where you were for a second there?" He asks.
"Yeah actually" I laugh, and sit up, leaning my back up against his wall. He's still working on the right chords to play for our duet, he hasn't told Andrew about this obviously. No need to stress him out even more. I lean my head back and close my eyes humming along to 'I Know What You Did Last Summer, the song we will be singing together as he plays the song softly on his guitar. Suddenly Aaliyah bursts into the room breaking the silence. And we both whip our heads around to look at her.
"Oh, um, sorry were you guys practicing?" She asks
"no it's okay, you just startled us." I reassure her
"Oh good, breakfast is ready downstairs if you want any".
I unwrap myself from my blanket, slide on my Teen Wolf sweatshirt and fuzzy socks then follow Shawn down the stairs to the Mendes kitchen.
"So, are you two a thing or what?" Karen asks as I sit down with a plateful of pancakes.
Shawn nearly chokes on his orange juice and I turn beet red, but I laugh at Shawn's reaction and shake my head. "Oh no, just friends, I have a boyfriend back home in Texas." I reply.
"oh, well isn't that nice" Karen says a bit disappointedly.
"Hayden can you show mum some of the pictures you took of me, after breakfast?" Aaliyah asks her mouth full of fruit.
"Chew your food Aaliyah, you're fourteen" Manuel says shaking his head at her.
"Yeah I would love to" I say, "Let me finish up my breakfast and then mI'll grab my laptop so I can email you the ones you want"
Karen and Aaliyah smile at me gratefully as I get up from my chair and Make my way back to Shawn's room, where all my stuff is.
When I reach down into my backpack to grab my computer, something on the corner of Shawn's desk catches my eye. I walk over to it slowly and see my name written messily at the top. I smile and start to read but then I remember what happened last time I read something before he gave it to me, so I turn around and head back downstairs to meet Karen and Aaliyah in the living room.
Aaliyah looks at me happily as I sit down in between her and her mother, my laptop open on my lap. I scroll through the different albums that I've created during my time on the road with Shawn.
"do you want the ones from Seattle or LA?" I ask clicking on a folder with her name on it.
"Both?" She answers questioningly
"Of corse".
I open all the folders so Aaliyah can pick out the ones she liked the best, Karen continued to marvel at the quality of the pictures, and tell me what a gift I had. Just wait until you hear me sing on Friday, I think as I click on a picture to let Aaliyah see it.
"Oh I love this!" Karen exclaims, "Manny come look at this"
Manuel makes his way out of the kitchen, Shawn following along behind his dad.
"You've got quite the talent behind that camera there eh?" Manuel says squeezing my shoulder before he walks away.
"Can you print this one out?" Aaliyah asks and I nod zooming in on the picture to admire my work (picture in media slot above).
