Falling- Shawn Mendes

Chapter twenty three

Day of funeral
Alex's pov

Shawn came over last night and slept over for today.
We thought it was best to stay home so he wouldn't be anxious in school and I wouldn't be anxious about him being anxious.

Beep beep beep beep.

Shawn and I both groan. That annoying sound. We wake up and he heads to my bathroom.  I get up and head downstairs. I just realized I was wearing his hoodie and nothing but my underwear. Thank god my dad left early to work. I went to the kitchen and turned on the stove. I grabbed two eggs and butter and made scrambled eggs. I grabbed bacon and started to cook some and made some pancakes.

I put two plates of food on the table and Shawn comes down and he saw I cooked for him and he smiled and kissed my cheek. "Thank you baby." He said and I smiled and walked to the coffee maker and poured us two cups of coffee "sugar? Cream?" I asked "a little bit of sugar, no cream." He replied and I made his and then made mine. I gave him his coffee and he pulled me onto his lap. He grabbed a piece of egg with his fork and held it in front of me. "I have my own." I said

"I'm not gonna stop until you take a bite." He said and I sighed and took it. He smiled and kissed my cheek, he raised the sweater a little and held his hand on my hip. I wrapped my arm around his neck and leaned my head on his shoulder. He took his hand off my hip and rubbed my back. "You nervous?" I asked "about?" "Speaking at the funeral?" I asked and he shook his head no. "I'm not speaking. My parents told me I couldn't." "What? Why not?" I said confused and he shrugged. "That's fucked up." I said and he shrugged. "I'm singing anyways. I don't really mind." He said and I gave him a look. "I want to meet your parents." I said "ha. Funny." He said "I'm serious. I want to know why they act like this." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Let's not focus on my parents. This isn't about them." He said and I nodded "you're right." I said taking a sip of my coffee. We finished eating and I grabbed his hand and led him to the bathroom. I lift the sweater off me and turn on the shower head and pull off my underwear. "You gonna join me or are you just gonna stand there?" I smirked and he smirked back at me and took off his clothes and joined me in the shower

We both step out the shower and dry off then head to my room. I opened my closet. I decided to be classy for once and use my black button up shirt from work when my dad would make me host sometimes. I put on my dress pants and I grab one of my blazers. Shawn gets dressed in a white button up with a black tie and black dress pants and his dress shoes. He starts to struggle with the tie and I sighed and walked up to him and fixed it. "Thanks." He mumbled. I smiled softly and pulled on it to make sure it was right. I grabbed his blazer and he turned around and I put it on for him. "You look nice." I said "so do you." He said grabbing my hand and twirled me around causing me to giggle. We walked to the car and he drove to the location.

Once we got to the location, a lady and a man who kinda looked like Shawn walked up to us. "Shawn." The man said "sir." He said "I see you cleaned up nice." "Of course sir." He said "who's this?" The lady asked looking at me "Hi, I'm Alex." I said holding my hand out. "I thought you'd bring Anna." She said ignoring my hand and I put it down. "Mom, we've been over this. I'm not with Anna no more." He said and she rolled his eyes. "So is she another one of your toys?" His mom asked "excuse me?" I said "mom." He said and his mother sighed "well, your sisters inside. Say hello to the family members." She said and walked away with his dad, I'm assuming.

I faced Shawn "I like her." I said "please forgive her. I told you how my parents are a handful." He said. "It's fine. You've met my dad before." I laughed softly. "Yeah, he's way better than my parents." He said and I smiled softly and grabbed his hand and we walked in. A girl around fifteen walked up to us "finally! Mom and dad were killing me. Can I sit with you guys?" His sister, I'm assuming, asked. "Yeah. How was the ride here?" "Annoying. They were talking about me trying out for varsity." She said "you Play?" I asked "volleyball." She replied and I nodded "nice. Volleyballs a competitive sport." I said "I play volleyball and hockey." "Yeah she copied me and joined hockey." Shawn said "as if." She said and they both laughed. "I'm Aaliyah." She said "I'm Alex." I said and we shook hands. "I like you way better than Anna. At least I didn't walk up to you guys sucking each other's faces off like I did with him and her." She said "oh yeah? Like this?" Shawn said and grabbed my face and kissed me. She groaned in disgust causing us to laugh.
