"Who's that Shawn by the way?" Cameron asks, focusing on the road but his question surprised me so I turn my head to him. "You thought I was Shawn..."
"Ohh Shawn..." I begin and then get a creepy voice "Wait... You don't know who Shawn and Jenny are?" And I start laughing. I thought it'll make him laugh too but, on the contrary, his smile just fades away and his wrists tight around the steering wheel.
Did I say something wrong?
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to ask him what's wrong that he parks in front of my house.
"Good night, Alyssa." He says but I don't even try to understand him and get out of the car.
When I get home, Rosalie has already directed Liam to go to bed and sleep so I just thanked her and paid her before she goes out because both of us are tired and we know that we'll talk about this night tomorrow at work.
I walk upstairs to get to my room but before I change into pajamas I remember this terrible party and what Shawn said.
Shit.
The pics.
I just take my laptop from my bag and turn it on to review what I did and if I like it. After a while, I send everything to my phone so I can send them to him.
< To: Shawn Mendes
Hey, it's the photographer from the photoshoot: Alyssa. Here are the pics I edited but you have to choose one for the cover of the magazine. *adds the pics in the message* >
I don't wait for an answer and fall asleep the second after I turn off everything.

"So...Tell me everything!" Rosalie says when I come back from Mr. Mayer's office. I sigh and fall on my chair with a new file to start.
"I have a new photoshoot planned... with my bestie," I say sarcastically and roll my eyes.
"not that everything dumbass!" She says laughing and I frown at her, misunderstanding. "The party!... Wait. You said your bestie?" She almost shouts which makes the other curs at her.
She's such a child when it comes to gossips... But god knows how she makes me laugh.
I don't answer, just looking at her being excited. A child, I said.
I was about to start talking about my life to her but then I look at my watch and in a movement of a hurry, I pack all my things in my bag.
"I'll explain you everything with Josh but now I have to go because I'm already late," I say and run outside.
I drive until I reach my brother's school and pick him up because today he's going to see mom for the first time since she got hospitalized at the hospital. I don't know how is he going to react or even what's my mom's statement because the last time I saw her, she was even sicker than the others.
I just hope that Superman will handle it.
If nothing matches the love of a certain person, then how can one heal the loss of a mother's? If a mother is unique and irreplaceable, how could we live without that soul that protects us against everything ... absolutely everything? How could we survive such a loss? Even though we all know that time and acceptance heals the wounds ... the wound I'm talking about. This wound, which is the flight of a mother, is destructive. Killing.
I get lost in my thoughts when I see Liam crying over mom, in her bed. Because he knows. He knows that it's near. And I do so. I know.
After those reunions, I kiss mom and I drive Liam to his soccer club.
None of us talked during the journey but I don't want him to be distracted by something. By this so I try to talk about his passion when I park the car.
"When is your game again?" I ask softly.
"In a week" He simply replies and gets out of the vehicle.
I just sigh I drive away. Going to the Starbucks as usual. The routine. This routine that kills everyone.

"Where did you go yesterday? I looked for you for about an hour!" Josh asks me after a while serving the consumers.
"I went back home with Cameron and I called you many times but you didn't pick up the phone so I sent you a message! Don't get mad at me! It's not like if I let you alone or if I didn't prevent." I say pissed off.
"Alright." He sighs and stands straight, crossing his arms over his chest. "Tell me what's wrong."
"Josh..." I start and lean my hand's palms over the counter and lowering my head down.
"Aly... You know I'm here for you..."
"I know but..." I get back up and serve other clients. "It's just overwhelming me... I don't think I'll handle it, Josh." I admit with a ball forming in my throat. "You know with mom, Liam, the 2 jobs, the university... dad and..." I look up and see who enters the shop.
Shawn.
"Oh no" I whisper to myself and look down at the checkout.
"Hi." I hear Shawn addressing me and I can't do anything else but answer.
Oh no.
The guy who's standing in front of me is completely another person. Like a new Shawn. Not Shawn the bitch or Shawn, Jenny's boyfriend but Shawn, handsome guy.
My gaze is going up and down, traveling his body as if he was a sweet candy but then my gaze lock into his eyes when they find them. His green-brown eyes that could kill you as make you feel a total new feeling.
"What a hoodie I see you wearing!" He says laughing and I look down at my outfit.
Shit.
I kept the hoodie he gave me yesterday below the apron.
