Never Let You Go.

''Suitcases?'' I read out from the bottom end of the very long list.
''Check''
''And Shawn's babies ..um.. I mean Shawn's guitars?''
"Haha check" Manny laughed, laying them gently to one corner.
"Finally. Done?" I asked looking hopeful.
"What about the other list honey?"
My facial expression changed immediately ''What other list!?"
"Gotchaa! We're so done."

I high fived Manny and slumped down in the chair , holding my fruit salad to my chest. The sun made its way to the center stage as the birds cheered outside. The atmosphere around the house was definitely present and the positive energy stayed contained between the walls of the house. Today was the day , of course. We were all gathered in the Mendes' living room. Well, all except the goof himself.
I pop a strawberry in my mouth, letting Aaliyah steal the rest.
''Has anyone seen Shawn?" I announce '' I mean he's usually in some random basement writing music and being anti social, its nothing new."
''Yeah or he's probably in the kitchen cupboard shoving his face with muffins , its become a regular thing"Aaliyah laughs.

I leave the chaos and head up to Shawn's room. I remember recording Shawns very first vine in this room. The vine that sent him viral. The vine that made girls go crazy. The vine that encouraged Shawn to make covers. The vine that opened up so many opportunities for him. The vine that lead Shawn to this very day.
I opened the door and couldnt help but smile at what I saw. I reached into the back pocket of my denim distressed shorts, pulled out my phone and took a snap of the scene in front of me. I captioned it 'Sleeping Beauties' and quickly made my phone out of sight.
Shawn had his head burried in his pillow , one hand hanging off the bed and one arm on Brianna. Brianna. The love of Shawns life. The strings on his guitar. The chocolate in his muffins. The notes to his music.
They looked peaceful. Too peaceful. All those times Shawn dragged me out of bed and he thought i wouldnt do the same to him? No chance. I backed up against the wall. Grinning, I lunged forward and jumped on top of Shawn.
Of course he wasn't fazed.

''Ughh five more mins Em" a sleepy Shawn mumbled , moving deeper under the covers.

"Shawn do u realize what's just happened!?" I panick as I  jump off Shawn and fix my hair.

''Yeaaahh you've just woken up a prince that needs his beauty sleeep that's what's happened" he groans in his morning voice.

"SHAWN.GET UP."

"no."

"Its too late anyways..."

"eh"

"SHAWN GET UP NOW . SHAWNNN U IDIOT YOU'VE MISSED YOUR FLIGHT! We told u to wake up three hours ago and now the-''

''Wait.WHAT?!'' Shawn shot up from his bed and began to throw some clothes on him , his hair a curly mess.
''howdidthishappenimsureisetmyalarmtotherighttimeandionlywantedfifteenmoreminsand-'' Shawn stopped just as he put his watch on .. reading the time.

"Shoot" I smirk and begin to run , trying to get to the door.
''EMILY ODELL YOUR SO DEAD'' I hear Shawn whisper-shout from behind me. I stumble through the darkness of the corridor as I hear thuds close behind me. Just as I convince myself I'm winning in life, I feel two large hands grab my waist  "uh oh.." I try to fight myself free. ''Please Shawn I'm sorryyyyy don't tickl-'' I surrender but its too late. My weaknesses - of course my best friend knows what they are. Damn it.
''Huh? What did u say?'' Shawn smirked tickling me.
''I *tickle* have *tickle* a *tickle* muffin" I tried to tell him.
Shawn instantly let go. "Hand it over then moron.."
I gave Shawn a dirty look ''Jerk'' I mumbled loud enough for him to hear.
''How could u!'' Shawn gasped , placing his hand on his heart pretending to be heartbroken.
I place a squashed choc chip muffin in Shawn's other hand hoping he'd accept it. ''Oh well'' Shawn laughed , scoffing it.
