A New Beginning (Shawn Mendes FanFic)

Chapter 19

Shawns POV

"I'll finish them up, go ahead and get ready for skiing." I said as we both dried off the dishes. "Skiing?" Ariana asked excitedly. "Yup, now go" she excitedly ran up the stairs. I chuckled at her cuteness. 

After finishing the dishes I made my way up stairs to find Ariana trying to zip up her big snow jacket with her gloves. "Can I get a little help?" she asked frustratedly. After helping her, she helped me with my clothes. Finally prepared for the extremely cold weather, we walked outside to the ski lift that happened to be right next to the cabin.

We both got in one, looking at the beautiful mountians ahead of us. It was finally our time to get off, we landed in the snow with our ski boards (never been skiing dont know much info lolol). Since I was pretty good at skiing we didnt need to have the guide person help us or anything, I just taught Ariana everything she needed to know instead. After she finally got the hang of everything, we both went down the mountain together. Thats how the rest of the afternoon went, us playing in the snow, falling down the mountian a couple times, and a lot of laughing.

Arianas POV

We walked hand in hand into a cute little restaurant at the top of the mountain. We got a booth near the window, sitting across from each other. We ordered our food and drinks, being super hungry and tired from skiing almost the whole day. "Today was great" Shawn said as he reached to grab my hand.

"It was" i said smiling. We talked a little about our future, imagining what it would be like to have a family together. Our food finally came and then the talking stopped due to our hungry stomaches. We finished dinner and went back to the cabin. 

We walked in, being embraced by warmth and coziness. We both went upstairs to change. I changed into one of Shawns sweatshirts, a pair of leggings, and some fuzzy socks. I went downstairs to wait for Shawn. I put in Elf, since Christmas was coming up in a couple days. I made us some hot chocolate, I was putting marshmellows and whipped cream on top when Shawn came up behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek. I giggled and handed him his hot chocolate. I walked to the couch, Shawn following and slumping down right next to me. 

I grabbed a blanket that was beside us, and snuggled into him. Half way into the movie, I look up at Shawn to see him looking down at me. He's curious about something i can see it in his eyes. "Whats up?" I ask. "We've never talked about each others family." he said cautiously. "You really want to know?" I asked. He nodded his head yes. I took a deep breathe.   

"My dad, he was the kind of person that honestly hated everyone. He loved me, but loved himself some more. He was very selfish, he left my mom and I at the worst possible time, my mom had depression because of him, she never smiled, never laughed, and barely even talked to me. When he left I decided he wasnt worth it, so I got my mom some help, and her depresssion went away. I helped her find a nice job, and got myself a part time job too. I began doing really good in school, knowing if i wanted to go to college I'd need a scholorship. So me and my mom saved up enough money to move to Canada, we left behind the bad memories there hoping to create better memories here." 

"Wait but you've barely talked about your mom since you've came." He asked being a bit confused. 

"We are really close, but to be honest we have drifted apart a bit. I mean I've talked about you to her and everything but things are just so different." I said as a tear escaped my eye. 

Shawn pulled me closer to him. I felt him take a deep breathe, then he began talking. "My mom and dad both are drug addicts. When I turned 15 I managed to move away from them. I began fighting, to make money, things were hard for a long time. About 7 months after I moved away, I found out about an aunt I had. She had somehow found me, and she was one of the best things that have ever happened to me. She took me in to her house, and helped me through everything. Well not everything, I still did the fighting, drinking, sleeping around, bad grades, and all that. But she helped me learn that people werent all that bad, she was the only family I had left." I looked up at Shawn, completley shocked at everything he had told me. He always avoided the topic of his parents, or family. 

I brought his head down to mine and kissed him slowly. "Thank you." I said. He brought his lips back to mine, and said something I thought I would never hear. "Your dad has been calling."
