Falling For You || Shawn Mendes

Chapter 67 - El es mio

Lily's P.O.V.

After who knows what things we do to fill our time, we ended up playing uno.

Taylor pulled a smirk on his face who was beside Cameron, dropping his card in the middle of our circle.

"Blocked," he stated. Cameron glared at him.

"Thanks," Kaylee chuckled dropping her card.

"Blue please," she said once she dropped a change color.

We continued the cycle of blue cards then strangely, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," I said standing up.

"Do you have any expected guests, babe?" Shawn asked eyeing me from the ground.

"Nope. But, Nash blocked me anyway, so I'll get it," I chuckled as Nash laughed.

I walked to the front door, opening it, peeking who's outside.

No one. Strange?

But before I even closed the door, my eyes stopped on the ground, seeing a plain small red box outside.

I picked it up, opened the card that had my name written on the cover, which was glued on top of the box.

"El es mio" it said.

My eyebrows knotted in confusion. What does that mean? It looks like spanish, but I didn't understand what it meant.

Closing the door, I decided to open the box right away. My eyes widened, practically throwing the box away from me, as I screamed in fear.

"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!" I cursed backing away.

"Babe?! What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Shawn said rubbing my arms.

I swallowed the lump that was stuck in my throat, my shaking hands pointing to the box that was now across from me.

Soon, Kaylee and the boys all ran up to me, Matt walking towards the box.

"Holy-" he said, but was cut off by gagging.

Taylor picked the box up, stretching his arms out, his face scrunched up.

"Who the heck in their right mind would send that thing?!" Cameron said.

"It's so disgusting dude," Matt said, with another gag.

"Why? What is it?" Carter asked confused.

"A dead rat," Aaron said covering his nose.

Shawn tightened his embrace in my body, as I shakily spoke.

"Who could've sent me that?" I said.

"Is it addressed to you?" Carter said.

"It had Lily's name written on the card." Kaylee said eyeing the box.

Taylor took the cover, peeling the card off, opening it.

"El...es...mio..." He read.

"El es mio?" Shawn repeated.

"Did you see who sent this?" Cameron asked.

"No," I said, "no one was outside when I opened the door."

"It's spanish, right?" Matt asked.

"I think so too," Nash said.

"C-can you please just throw that thing away? I'm really scared now." I softly said.

"It's okay," Shawn said kissing my forehead, "when I find out who sent that, that person will regret doing this."

My lips curved into a light smile.

The boys then got rid of the box, but Kaylee kept the card.

Some of my conscience wanted to know who sent that, but some didn't. I was just freaked out, wondering why did I ever receive that.

"Come on, I want to show you a really cool clothing shop online! It has the best denim jackets," Kaylee said, pulling my arm excitedly to my room.

"See you two later!" Cameron said.

I then let her drag me inside my room as I plopped on my bed.

"I'm really not in the mood to check that clothing shop-"

"Idiot. I lied," Kaylee said, pulling the card that was on the box from her back pocket.

"Huh?" I confusedly said.

"See this?" She asked showing me the card.

"Why did you even keep that card-"

"I know what this means." She said.

"You mean the spanish words?" I said sitting properly.

"Yes," she nodded.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I took spanish class in 8th grade," she shrugged.

"Well, what does that mean? And why would someone even send me a dead rat?"

Her head turned to face mine, looking seriously at me.

"'El es mio' means 'he's mine'," she spoke.

My heart solidly beated, as my eyes narrowed.

"What?" I said, "I don't understand.."

"I do.." she said sitting beside me.

"Only one person can do this. She's the only one who envies you. And the only one who can do these things," she explained.

"Who?"

"Alice..." she said.

***

Third person's P.O.V.

Alice laughed with her friends while walking on the sidewalks of the streets.

"I wish I could see her face when she opens it," Alice laughed.

"Good job at finding a dead rat," She said to one of her friends.

"I just saw it at one near bush." Her friend laughed.

"I'm sure, she'll be freaked out good time," Alice laughed.

"Nice one, Alice," her friend said.

"Do you think she'll know what that spanish thing says?" Her other friend asked.

"Oh, puhlease! She won't understand that. I bet she's stupid enough to know what that means," Alice laughed with her friends then they all went to their mini car, that was parked just near the streets of the boys' house.

"I'm still not done with you, Watson." Alice said, looking straight at the road, "you'll regret you ever had me as your rival."
