i wake up with the feeling of strong arms wrapped around me again. shawn. it's so comforting when he does this. his slight snoring meaning he's in a deep sleep.

i look down and see i'm in his shirt and my underwear. i sit up and tie my hair back with the spare hair tie i have on my wrist.

quickly, shuffling myself out of bed, i get up and rush towards the window. police are still camping outside my house. drinking coffee. chuckling at each others jokes.

one young police officer looks up at me and smiles. i smile back and he does a slight wave gesture. i wave back and turn away from the window.

"lyds, it's very dangerous." shawn says as he cracks an egg into the pan. i sit on the kitchen counter and groan.

"but your balcony and my balcony are only like a foot apart shawn!" he laughs at my plan.

"a foot long snake has once killed someone you know." i glare at him and sigh.

he serves the last egg onto the plate. shawn being mr nice guys, has cooked the police bacon, eggs, hash browns and a bowl of beans.

"grab a couple of water bottles please" shawn says. i jump off the kitchen counter and grab the 12 pack of water bottles out the fridge.

we make our way out and i see the police officers looking over at us with grins on their faces.

"good morning officers, we have made you breakfast as we saw that you have been camped out all night." shawn says politely placing the plates of food in the middle of the little circle. he glances at me.

"oh! and here's some water." i remember placing the water bottles in front of them.

i look out of shawns window watching the argument going on between my dad and the police. his hand ended up being cuffed. i took a sigh of relief when the cops drove away.

"i need to go home and try and call my mom." i sigh as my hands shake a little.

"you look terrified. here call her off my phone." he says getting his phone our of his pocket and holding out.

i walked over to his large, broad body on the bed and grabbed his phone. i thanked him as i looked at his home screen. it's of me and him at six flags. i smile and click on the green application, dialing my mother's 'work' number.

"hey, this is puddingcup in for a good time?" i heard ny mothers voice down the phone. i try my hardest not to laugh.

"mom. it's me." i say nervously as my teeth sink into my bottom lip.

"ugh. what do you want brat?" she asks in an annoyed tone.

"dad's been arrested. what shall i do?" i asked playing with my hair nervously.

"ugh just go ask grandma or mary next door to stay. unfortunately i can't leave you home alone, someone may notice." i roll my eyes at her respone. the many of times she's left me home alone.

"k. bye." i say, ending the call. i sigh and think fo a moment.

i obviously can't go to my grandma's because she's on vacation. mary next door has too many scratching cats. i pass shawn his phone and look down at him.

"may i please stay here? just for a little until i find ot what to do." tears brim my eyes, at the thought of how much trouble i am in. what am i going to do?

"ofcourse hun."

it's 3am and i'm downstairs in shawn's kitchen, struggling on what to do. i've wrote ideas down on a piece of paper and applied for so many jobs.

"lydia?" i heard a raspy deep voice say. i look up to see shawn staring at me, confused. "why are you awake?"

"i couldn't sleep." he comes up behind me and looks over my shoulder. his hand reaches for the paper and his other hand scrolls down my phone screen viewing my hundreds of applications.

"you shouldn't be doing this." he shakes his head and throws the papers away and locking my phone screen. i sigh leaves my lips and i just shrug.
"you have me now." he says rubbing my back softly.
