New York Royalty ~Shawn Peter Raul Mendes~

15 -"Now you want me to wait again?"

•Shawn's POV•
I checked to see if Ashley had texted back but there was nothing. I get up from my bed.

It's been 2 hours since I texted her.

What if something happened to her?

No. She has people to protect her. Plus, she can protect her self.

What if she couldn't this time? What if there weren't people around to protect her this time?

I start to panic a little. I get my phone and put on a hoodie. I walk out of my room and run downstairs to grab my keys from the front. I'm about to walk out the front door when my father stops me.

"Where do you think you're going, Shawn?" He asks me.

I turn to him and say, "I have to go check on a friend. I'll be back."

I'm almost out the door again but he pulls me back and closes the door.

"No." He says sternly.

"What?" I ask, confused as fuck.

"I know where you're going. You're going to go check on that girl." He tells me.

"Her name is Ashley and what if I am?" I step up to him.

He steps up to me but with a little more anger in his eyes.

"It's late and it's a school night Shawn. You can just see her tomorrow. Go upstairs to your room and get some sleep. Come on." My mom says as she gets in between us.

She pushes me towards the stairs but I'm still looking at my dad.

"Shawn." She warns.

I look down at her and see fear and sadness in her eyes.

"Please." She pleads.

I nod and give her a kiss on the forehead before making my way up to my room. I close the door and take out my phone.

If he won't let me check on her then I'll try calling her. Maybe my worries are for nothing.

I press her number and it starts to dial.

*ring*

Please pick up.

*ring*

Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

*ri-*

"Hello?" She answers.

Oh my gosh. Thank god.

"Ashley! You answered. I was so worried." I exclaim.

"Why were you worried?" She asks me.

"You didn't answer my text and my mind assumed the worst." I tell her as I lay on my bed.

I hear her giggle a little.

That giggle was so cute.

"Don't worry Mendes. I'm fine. I just had a job to do." She explains.

"Oh."

"I would tell you what it was but it's a secret." She says.

"It's ok. I understand." I tell her.

"So why did you call me? Knowing you, you would've been looking all over town for me." She asks me.

"Yea I would've done that but my dad stopped me. He wouldn't let me pass the door." I tell her.
