If I Was Pretty(Shawn Mendes fanfic)

Chapter 6

We pulled up to Shawn's house. It was huge, of course. He makes a lot of money for his videos online, his parents must have great jobs, no shock he lives in a big house.

"Ready?"

"Yeah" I said as I took a deep breath. He smiled at me.

We walked in. My hands were shaking.

"Mom, I'm home!"

"Hi sweetie!" His mom walked in.

"Mom, this is my friend, Lyric." Shawn smiled introducing me.

"Hello Lyric, I'm Shawn's mom!" She smiled.

"Hi" I smiled back shyly.

"Okay dinner will be ready in an hour or so. You guys can go upstairs and play video games or something." She smiled.

"Alright mom, love you." Shawn replied.

We walked upstairs, we passed by a little girls room, I look inside. There was a little girl sitting on the bed. "That's my sister Aaliyah." I nodded. He walked in.

"Hi Aaliyah, this is Lyric." Shawn told her.

"I love your name." She whispered quietly.

"Thank you, I like yours too." I smiled at her.

She smiled up at me. She looked about 10.

"We'll be in my room, Aaliyah, come if you need me, okay?"

She nodded as we walked off to Shawn's room.

"She's sweet." I told him.

"She doesn't really talk."

"Really? How come?"

"Well when dad died, she went completely mute. Then mom started dating this new guy a few years later. She started talking again. Then he started to drink, he began to have a serious drinking problem. Like I told you this morning, he used to beat me. He raped Aaliyah. She doesn't trust guys anymore except me. She only talks to me and mom. I was surprised she said something to you."

"Wow, she's been through a lot." I said shocked.

"No kidding. But so have you. And I want to know every detail." He said tapping my nose.

I chuckled.

"Not that easy, Mendes."

"Lyric, do you think I'm gonna judge you?"

"Shawn, you're popular. At school and online. You could tell someone or go public with it. You don't get to know my story."

"Lyric, I'm not like that. I'm not gonna let anyone know." He said looking into my eyes.

"I'll tell you when I know I can trust you."

He nodded, understanding.

After an hour of kicking his butt at Call Of Duty, his mom called us down for dinner. Well, here it goes.
