Paradise [HIATUS]

chapter one

1 Hour Later - Echo -

I looked at Matt, what if he saw? What if paparazzi are crowding around us right now? Shawn noticed my stress and rubbed comforting circles on my back, I let out a sigh of relief and looked at him through the corner of my eye.

"Hey, Shawn," Matt asked shyly.

Shawn nodded and smiled.

"Do you want to play twenty questions?"

We all smiled excitedly.

"So, favourite food?" I asked.

"Muffins," we all said.

"Alcoholic drink?" Matt asked, wondering if the laws are different.

"None of ya are old enough,"

The white snow was falling from the sky, I looked up and giggle stood myself. Shawn mumbled some words under his breath and Matt and Aaliyah were laughing at something.

Shawn leant down and whispered only my ear, "I love you."

"Love you too," I whispered back, kissing his soft lips.

"Um, hello? The game, remember?" Matt called over to Shawn and me. I jolted my head in their direction and nodded.

"So, parents name?" Matt asked, smirking. "My mom's name in Maria Vida Flor Eeternidad Siempre Diaz." We all laughed at the enormously confusing name.

"Well, mine isn't as confusing as that. It's Elizabeth Carpenter." I called.

" And ours is Karen Mendes." Shawn and Aaliyah said in sync. I then felt my phone buzz in my pocket- It was my sister, Sabrina. I walked away from the group and pulled my coat tighter around me.

Sabrina: Hey sis! Where are you?

Me: In the fucking freezing streets in Pickering. Why?

Sabrina: Well, I found Shawn's tiny cat struggling to get up to the sidewalk.

Me: Snowball? How the hell did he get out?

Sabrina: No clue. I'll take him back to your place then.

Me: Sure. Bye!

I hung up and sighed. "Shawn!" I  shouted to the man with beautiful curly hair.

"Yeah?" He asked, running to me. He put his hand on my cheek.

"Sabrina found Snowball struggling to get up the sidewalk. We better go get him."

Shawn nodded and called out the remaining two people. "We gotta go. You two are ok here, right?" I heard some mumbles of agreement and took Shawn's hand.

-Matt-

I looked over to the angel like t girl stood next to me. She had pulled me into a trance again, one I could not escape. Her hazel eyes stared into my own, pulling me under her spell further. "So, Matt. Wanna come to my place?

I blushed under her hasty gaze, "Um, sure?"

I felt our hands intertwine, sending a rush of electricity through my veins, she took off and began to run through the bustling streets. She turned every now and then, a smile appearing on her beautiful face. I knew from that moment that Aaliyah was the one for me, her sunshine smile and her eyes, god.
