The next morning

[Aaliyah Mendes]

I woke up to see Samantha in the other bed still sleeping I wouldn't blame her after all she did go through some traumatic events yesterday. I sighed remembering everything. Samantha was so strong. She didn't let him see her scared. She keep standing up for herself even after he swung. I got my phone and looked at the time 10:30. I decided to wake Samantha up. I got out and walked towards her bed. It didn't take much to wake her up. "How are you feeling?" I asked

"My body aches but I'm okay I guess" she spoke softly

I gave her a sympathetic smile "what do you want to eat for breakfast, I'm gonna order in?"

"some french toast sounds good"

"Milk or coffee?"

"coffee please"

"On it" I ordered our breakfast and began talking to Samantha

"What do you wanna do today?"

"I just want to get out of this hotel, maybe shop?"

"Sounds good, I'll come with"

"Of course you are, I wasn't about to leave you with the crew" she said laughing

I smiled at her laugh after everything she still has a smile on her face. She's so strong. I admire her so much

"Aaliyah" said Samantha pulling me from my thoughts

"Yeah, what's up?"

"What are you thinking about"

"You."

[Samantha Elizabeth Rose]

"Me?" I asked

"Yeah, you. After everything that's happened you're still laughing. You're so strong. It's crazy. I mean if I was in your shoes I'd think all I'd be able to do is cry and be depressing, but you you're laughing and joking around."

I smiled at her. "Thank you, but I'm not as strong as I seem"

"Oh but you are and does your eye hurt? If we're going to go out you're going to have to wear make-up. You kinda have a bruised eye"

"I don't know but you're right even if it does hurt I'll still put make-up on"

I heard a knock on the door and I got up and walked to see if it was room service. To my dismay, it wasn't it was Shawn Peter Raul Mendes.

"Aaliyah" I called

"Yeah?" she said peeking her head

"It's your brother. I-I-I'm scared"

"It's okay unlock the door but don't take off the chain we'll do this together. I'll be by your side the whole time" I nodded at her and unlocked the door but kept the chain on

"What do you want shawn?"

"To apologize" He said softly

"No"

"What?"

"I can't and won't forgive you. Maybe in the near future but as of right now no. You caused so much pain last night over a one night stand. I hope she was fucking worth it. I hope you're little fucking session was worth your image being ruined to your sister. I hope it was worth the bruises you left me. I'm sorry shawn but no, please leave"

"I have a right to talk to my sister"

"I don't want to talk to you" spoke Aaliyah "You hurt me emotionally and you hurt Samantha physically and emotionally. I don't want to talk nor see you until I'm ready and as of right now I'm not. I can not believe you would hurt someone the way you did last night. You're so luck she hasn't said anything to your fans or the media. You're so lucky she cares about you to not press charges or ruin your image, but Shawn you're an asshole."

"Aaliyah don't say something you'll regret" I spoke knowing what was coming next

"Don't worry I won't regret this. I fucking hate you Shawn. Leave"

"I'm so so sorry to both of you" said Shawn before he left.

I closed the door and sighed. "That was exhausting " said Aaliyah

"For me or for you"

"probably for you, when's our food getting here" she said as a knock was heard at our door

"Now" I said opening the door to our breakfast
