Chapter 7

My father abruptly stops humming when he sees Shawn and me standing in the middle of the living room. When Lucifer steps into the kitchen, Adriana can see Shawn and as expected she starts to scream. Shawn looks at me, eyes big.

'Oh my god! That's Shawn Mendes!' Adriana starts to jump.

'And where do you know this man from?' My father asks me.

'He was my...' I can't tell them he was my client. 'He's my...' I search for a word.

'Boyfriend.' He looks at me. 'I'm her boyfriend.' He says, this time sure.

I look at him, shock spread across my face. Adriana looks at me with death in her eyes. She wants to kill me, I'm sure. Lucifer is proud, I don't know why. I just hope he doesn't tell the truth about me and Shawn, because he's the only one who knew he was my client.

'About bloody time you got a boyfriend!' My dad screams when he puts the suitcases on the chair next to the door.

'Stop screaming Gerard.' Sheila whispers.

'You're all over Adriana's bedroom!' Sheila says with a big smile when she walks toward us.

I look at Shawn and mouth "I'm so sorry." He smiles and responds to Sheila's comment. Adriana sighs and walks out of my apartment, slamming the door behind her.

'For fuck sake.' My father says before following Adriana outside.

'So Beth, this is your stepmom?' Shawn asks.

Lucifer looks at us, shocked. He also knows that only our mom called me Beth. I shake my head at him, hoping he keeps his mouth shut.

'New mom. She's my new mom. I don't like the word "step".' I tell him.

'Nice to meet you.' He says politely to Sheila.

Sheila grabs Shawn by his arm and drags him into the kitchen, asking him questions about us. At this moment I'm happy he asked me all those questions, maybe the boyfriend-thing will actually look real.

My dad drags Adriana back inside, pulling at her arm. She looks at me with anger in her eyes. What the fuck is her problem. I'm sorry I have a fucking crush on your celebrity-crush!

'You're a bitch!' She screams.

'Dad! Get her out of my apartment!' I scream.

'Apologise.' He says to Adriana.

She looks at him, without saying anything. He pulls at her arm and pushes her towards me. Why the fuck did they have to come today when Shawn's here. This is so fucking embarrassing, I want to kill myself.

'I'm sorry.' She gets out of that hole in her face.

'Hug. Her.' My dad says to Adriana.

Adriana wraps her hands around my body. I don't hug her back. She smiles at me, a sincere smile, not the bitchy ones she's been giving me the moment she walked through that door. For a moment I see my little sister from ten years ago. I miss the Adriana who went on ridiculous adventures with me, the Adriana who gave me my pen before I left for school. The Adriana she was before she became a teenager. She has changed so, so much.

It was Lucifer's amazing idea to visit me today, so tomorrow morning I can drive them to the airport, and they don't have to leave their car there while they're away.

It's funny to see Shawn being polite to Sheila. He's not a polite person, I know that now, it's just not in his nature I guess.

The rest of the day is a family day gone wrong. Shawn and I sit awkwardly between the rest of my family on the couch. He gives me a couple of glares while they're watching a movie.
