Riley's POV:
"Hey I need to go to the library to return a book. I'll meet you back home!" I say as Maya and I walk out of school.
"What do you mean? I'm staying with Shawn. I though you knew."
"What? I thought you just slept over because of the fight..."
"Well yeah, but I really like it at Shawn's place."
"Why?"
"Shawn acts like an actual father to me, I mean so does your dad. But it's different with Shawn, I have him all to myself. And Shawn's place is great, it has full access to the fridge, it's quiet when I want it to be, and Shawn's cable has all the extra channels!" She explains.
"We have all the channels too."
"Yeah but half of them aren't locked because it's rated PG-13 or R." She eyes me.
"But Maya, I really want you back with us."
"Hey don't worry! Shawn's house is in a walking distance to your house and I'll come over as often as possible! I'll even sleep over whenever you want!"
"If it's what makes you happy then fine. But you have to promise to come over at least once everyday!"
"I promise." Maya smiles.
"Alright well, I'll text you when I get home."
"Ok bae." Maya kisses me and runs off. Oh how I loved that short blonde.

Maya's POV:
"Shawn? I'm home!" I shout as I entered the house.
"I'll be right out!" He shouts back from his room. A minute later he runs down with a full bag. "I got you some stuff you might like."
He pulls out a pack of canvases, paint brushes, acrylic paint, a sketchbook, and colored pencils. I quickly light up with joy.
"I saw the sketchpad you left on the counter and I saw all the drawings in it. They were beautiful!"
"Oh my god! I love this all so much! Thank you Shawn!" I hug him tightly.
"You're welcome sweetie." He ruffles my hair like always. I run to my room to start painting. I decided to paint a portrait of Shawn just as a thank you gift, and so I turn on my music and started.
----
Later that night, Shawn and I talked. He told me how grateful he was that I decided to live with him. He told me that before I came, he was alone and bored. He told me about how he loved me like a daughter.
It was a weird feeling. I never really had anyone care for me this much except for Riley. I guess Shawn didn't feel like he had a lot of people who cared about him either.
