Stranger -A Shawn Mendes Fanfic-

Chapter 7

-Aria's POV-

It's Monday, the first day of my senior year. The last year of my high school life. A thing that sucks is that Shawn and Cameron can't come to public school, they have to get home schooled. At least I have Codi.

I haven't seen my dad yet so that's good. I'm scared that i'm gonna run into him, will I even know it's him? I haven't seen him since I was two years old and I don't even remember his face, I doubt he'll remember mine so I should be okay.

At lunch Codi and I sat at our own table. We were talking about our problems and just our life in general. Turns out that her and Cameron started dating yesterday. She's sad that Shawn and I aren't but it hasn't been that long, only about two weeks.

"Stop blaming it on the time. It's cause you're scared." She said.

"What? No i'm not scared to have a boyfriend." I said taking a bite of my food.

"Aria, you're 17 years old and haven't had a boyfriend. You're scared, I don't know if you're scared to have your heart broken or if you're just scared in general but it's part of growing up. You have to face that fear eventually." After she said that the bell rang.

She's right though, I am scared, I'm terrified. I've seen Codi after a break up and I don't want to be like that. I don't want my heart broken. That's why I don't have very many friends or haven't had any boyfriends.

It's not because they don't like me, it's because i'm too scared to let people in. I'm scared that if I let anyone in that they'll leave me and break me. I don't want to be broken. But I want to be with Shawn.

After school I drive home and when I get home there's a random car parked in front of our house. I pull into the driveway and sit in my car, scared to go inside.

An older man was sitting in the drivers seat but what if someone's inside. I grab my stuff and decide to go inside.

When I get to the door it was locked so I hurried and unlocked it. Thank god it was locked because that means nobody's in here.

After a couple minutes I hear a knock at the door and my heart immediately starts beating fast. It's probably that man who was in the car.

I call my mom but she didn't answer. I call Shawn and he didn't answer. I called Codi and she didn't answer. What the fuck is it ignore Aria night or what?

I look through the window and it was the same guy. I open it and he stands there with tears in his eyes. He's tall and skinny with a tattoo on his arm. It's a name but I couldn't read it, his shirt sleeve was covering some of it. I was shaking as he stared down at me.

"Aria." He said. My eyes go wide. "Oh my god it is you."

I couldn't say anything. He knew my name. It was my dad.

"Aria, i'm Liam... You're father." He says.

I couldn't move.

"Wha- what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I needed to see you. Is your mother here?"

"No. Now please leave."

"Why? I just want to see you." He said.

"You left me! You left me when I was two years old. I've had to grow up without a dad! I was without a dad for 15 years! 15 fucking years!" I started to tear up.

"Aria, I couldn't help it. They took me away from you."

"No dad, you left me. You had a choice on what you do and you chose to do something that had really bad consequences." After I said that I realized I just called him dad.

"Please listen."

"No! I'm not gonna listen to anything you say. Everything you say means nothing to me! I don't want to see you again and either does mom. Just leave us alone." I said walking back inside and sliding down the door, crying.

I just met my dad and if he listened to me it'll be the last time.
