The Offer That Changed My Life (A Shawn Mendes fanfiction)

Tree House!?

When we arrive back at our house, everyone swarms me and asks me questions.

"Did you accept it?"

"How'd it go?"

"Are you signed yet?"

I giggle and then sit down on the couch. "I didn't accept anything yet. Tomorrow I'm going to the studio and looking around."

"That's great!" Jack J exclaims.

"WHERE'S MY STARBUCKS!?" Lauren yells while stomping down the stairs.

"Here," I chuckle while handing her, Lox, and Shea their Starbucks. I also got some for Jack and Jack so I give them theirs. (Cameron got his own.)

"Thank you," Lauren grins.

"Well I knew that if I didn't, since you know where I sleep, my hand would end up in warm water or I'd wake up in the ocean..." I admit.

"That is very true," she agrees.

"So what should we do now?" I ask. "I don't have to do anything until tomorrow morning so we have all of today."

"Well, Laur, Lox, and I are going to the mall. You can come if you want," Shea offers.

"Maybe some other day. But right now I'm pretty broke and if I go to the mall I would end up using every penny that I have left," I chuckle.

"I'm going out and getting a trampoline for the backyard," Cameron adds. "So I won't be here."

After the girls and Cameron leave, Jack J, Jack G, and I just sit on the couch and watch tv.

"Oh my gosh, I know what we can do!" I squeal excitedly.

"What!?" The Jacks say in unison.

"We can make a tree house!" I suggest.

"Yaaaas!" Jack G agrees. "I'll go and get some supplies. You and Jack can go and look for a good tree."

"C'mon!" I call out to Jack J over my shoulder while sprinting into the backyard. We have a small woods in our backyard; as you can tell, we live more on the country side.

"Gosh, could you be any faster?" Jack J whines when he catches up with me.

"Could you be any slower?" I shoot back, receiving an eye-roll in response.

"Anyways, have you found a tree that you like?" Jack J questions me.

"You see, I prefer guys instead of trees," I joke.

"Shut up," he laughs. "But for real."

"Nah. Have you?" I respond.

"Not reall- wait, how about this one?" Jack J exclaims excitedly while running up to a tree.

The branches aren't to high up- if someone gave me a boost I could get onto the branches.

"Yaaaas! This tree is perfect!" I agree. "Give me a boost. I'm going to climb it."

"Okay," Jack J chuckles. He quickly helps me up and then climbs up and sits next to me. "It's nice up here."

"Yeah. Imagine it with the tree house, though!" I smile.

After a few moments, Jack G walks into the woods with all of his equipment.

"LEXIE!? JACK!?" he hollers while walking past us.

"We're here-" I start to say, but Jack J quickly covers my mouth with his hand and smirks deviously.

"Let him wonder around for a while," he whispers to me, causing me to quietly giggle.
