Shay
My phone starts ringing and I jump up.
"HUNTER!" I yell answering it.
"BABY!!" He yells laughing.
"I MISS YOU SO MUCH ALREADY!" I pout.
"I do too." He pouts.
"When's you're first show?" I ask. It was a regular call but I hit the FaceTime button and he excepted.
"Tomorrow." He smiles. Brandon runs up behind him and jumps on his back.
"HEY SHAY!" He smiles.
"HEY BRANDO!" I laugh.
*5 pm*
Hunter is rehearsing right now for his first show and I am home listening to my mom and dad fight about stuff. Shawn went to Danielle's to hang out so I decide to snoop around in his room. I look in one of the drawers and see a set of letters and magazines. And a picture of Danielle. I look at the letters. One was addressed to me. I decide to open it.
Dear Shay,
I don't think you know who I am. My name is Karen Mendes. I am the mother of Shawn Mendes. Not only Shawn. But I'm also...
"SHAY!" My mom yells. I put the letter back in the drawer and stand up. I shut it with my foot as my mom walks in.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"What are you doing in Shawn's room? My mom asks.
"I was looking for my headphones. Shawn borrowed them last night." I lie.
"You know he doesn't like people in his room. You'll just have to wait until he comes home tomorrow." My mom sighs.
"Tomorrow? Where is he going to be tonight?" I ask confused.
"He's staying at Danielle's." She smiles. I nod and walk out of my brother's room. I'm sneaking in there again tonight. I'm reading the rest of the note. I need to find out why Shawn Mendes's mom wanted to talk to me. The mother of a pop star wanted to talk to me and my brother just hides it from me? I go into my room and start thinking of my plan.
*11pm*
My parents are sleeping. I open the door and go into my brother's room. I grab the note and run back into my room. I grab a flashlight and continue reading.
But I'm also your mother. When I was pregnant with you we weren't in the best financial situation. Lisa was so willing to raise you. I knew you wouldn't have been raised healthily in our care so we gave you to Lisa. We had planned to come get you when we were stable but by then you were already so attached to Lisa and David. We couldn't take you from that. Now that you're 13 I think it's time you know. But that is entirely up to Lisa and David if they show you now or later. When you do read this please call me. My number is ***-***-****. I'd love to talk to you. I love you so much Shay. (I also wanted you to know that your real name is Elisya(E-lee-see-a) Mendes. But Lisa picked Shay.)
Love,
Karen Mendes
I look at the note in disbelief. My real name is Elisya. And I'm the sister of Shawn Mendes. And this note was written 3 years ago and I'm just now finding out about it?! I'm calling my mom. Wait... It's early. Tomorrow. I'm calling my real mom tomorrow. And talking to Lisa in the morning. I lay down clutching the note. And that's how I fall asleep.
I wake up at 8. My "mom" was up drinking a cup of coffee.
"Hey mom." I say running downstairs with the note behind my back.
"Hey honey." She smiles kissing my forehead.
"Can I talk to you?" I ask. She nods.
"What's this about?" She asks. I take a deep breath. This is either going to go really well. Or it's going to blow up in my face.
