Shawn's P0v:
Dear Journal,
Grandma likes Ariel! I don't know what I would do if she didn't, but I don't think that I would've continued the relationship. That seems extreme but my Grandma's opinion means the world to me. I'm a proud grandma's boy! Anyways all this happened yesterday. I didn't get a chance to write because of all the catching up we did. Unfortunately no matter how much fun I'm having I'm still thinking about the 14 day promise I made. I don't know if I can go through with it, I don't want Ariel and Grandma to be upset if I do.

Instead of hiding the journal under my bed again I just hide in my pants drawer. I realized that my bed was too obvious when Grandma almost found it, so it's hiding place definitely needed to be changed. My first choice was the underwear drawer but that's the first place people look for things, especially my grandma. When she walked in she rummaged through it, probably to see if I have condoms. I know some high school guys have them but, not all high school guys walked into their grandparents having sex on the couch after said grandparents met the guy's girlfriend. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. My eyes burned for hours after that and now I can't sit on the couch anymore, it's tainted.

"Shawn dear please come down stairs so we can talk to you!" My grandma calls. There's hints of embarrassment in her voice so it may be safe to go down. I take a deep breathe in through my nose and exhale loudly. I open my door and notice the hallways smells like cake or brownies, something sweet. I run down the stairs, turn to the living room and come to a halt.

"Mom dad," they smile at me and I look to the right of them. "Aaliyah."

"Surprise," she says with tears in her eyes. "I've missed you, we've all missed you." I go up and engulf her in a big hug.

"I've missed you all too," I can feel tear falling on my skin so I rub her back. "Don't cry when schools on break I'll go up and stay with you guys."

"That won't be necessary sweetie," I look up at my mom and she steps forward. "We're moving back so you can come and live with us again." My jaw drops and I can see the shock on grandma's face. "In a couple of weeks we'll be living one block over and we can meet this Ariel that we've heard about." Her words drifted off and left an uncomfortable silence. I could feel my parents eyes on me along with Aaliyah's.

"Happy birthday to you!" My head turns to to the kitchen and I see Ariel holding a cake in her hands. Oh yeah it is my birthday. "Or not okay I'm just going to leave this here and I'll be right back." Ariel rushes back to the kitchen and I wish that I could go with her.

"That must have been Ariel she seems lovely." This is going to be a long day. "When we move to the house we can have her over for dinner."

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Hey guys, I am so sorry it took me forever to update. I had this chapter written out for Shawn's birthday and had a set date to publish it but then I started school and had a lot of AP and honors classes that gave homework almost every night and before I knew it instead of August 8 it's August 31. There is a second part to this chapter which was finished but I'm trying to get it over 1200 words since I did take forever to update. I have more chapters finished I promise I just have to put them up and publish them
