Shawn's POV

I look at my neck and see a big, purple hickey. How did I get a hickey, I was only with my friends? A thought comes to my mind, well more of a memory.

-Flashback-

I can't keep track of how many drinks I've had. That bottle Gilinsky brought seemed never-ending. I stumble around and try to keep my balance but I fall over and hit the floor. Good thing I'm brick faced or that may have hurt. I see the blurry shape of a hand infront of me. I reach out and take it and see red strands of hair. MAHOGANY!

"You should be more careful honey bunch." Mahogany is drunk off her ass also.

"I was perfectly fine." I tell her.

"I've never noticed you're eyes before." She gets in real close and look at them.

"I have a lazy eye. Can you tell?" I put my face closer so she can get a better look. Something smashes behind me but I'm too drunk to care.

"I think I see it." She giggles. "You got pretty eyes."

"Ummmmm thanks.'' This was pretty awkward. She starts leaning in like she's about to kiss me. Oh hell to the no. I start to move backwards but I stumble and fall over. Drunk Mahogany may have forgotten I'm gay, but sure as hell haven't.

I see a blurry figure run into Mahogany but I can't tell who it is and then I pass out.

-Flashback ends-

Let's see, whoever that was could have given me this hickey. The main suspects are Nash, cause I woke up on him, and Cameron, cause he was sleeping with Mahogany. I'm not gonna think about this now. Today we celebrate my birthday...oh yeah and Nash's, but I can't go downstairs with this hickey clearly showing. I run into Aaliyah's room and jump on her bed.

"WAKE UP AALIYAH I NEED YOUR HELP!" I yell and bounce on her.

"Shawn what are you doing!" I sits up clearly startled by this.

"Sorry but I need your makeup." I don't bother giving her an explanation.

"Oh Shawn don't be so hard on yourself. I think you look adorable!" She jokes.

"That's not the reason. I need to cover up this." I point to the purple bruise displayed on my neck.

"Oh Shawn got some game yesterday!" Aaliyah cheers.

"Shut up I don't even know who gave it to me." I push her shoulder and she falls out of bed. Good thing her floor is carpeted.

"Calm down Shawn, I was only teasing. Come on." Aaliyah waves me to her bathroom across her room. She opens up a drawer and digs through a bunch of different makeups that I've never heard of.

"Found it!" She holds up a case and opens it up. "I hope this matches your skin tone. Sit down."

I sit on the floor so my neck was at eye level with her. She open the case and tells me to tilt my head up. When I do I fell a brush make contact with my neck. I instantly start laughing and Aaliyah is having a hard time getting what ever the makeup is called on me.

"Hold still." She giggles.

When she finishes I stand up and look in the mirror. Hey, it looks pretty good. You can't even tell there was something there.

"Now don't get it wet. I decided not to waste water resistant makeup on you, but if it gets wet it'll wash right off."

"Thanks Aaliyah, I owe you one." I kiss her cheek and run downstairs. I go into the living room and wake up all the sleeping beauties. The whole living room starts stirring with people waking up and I start working on breakfast. My headache has gone away after I flipped out about the covered up hickey.

"Jesus, I have a headache" Cam says coming into the kitchen holding his head.

"We're all out of medicine." I look down at the eggs I'm making. I always was good at that. I finish making some food and look for Nash but don't see him anywhere.

"Where's Nash?" I ask the room.

"Oh he went upstairs to see your sister." Jack tells me sitting down at the island next to JJ.

Aaliyah's POV

I wasn't planning on going back to sleep after Shawn woke me up, so I just changed and wen't back into my room to watch TV. E! News. Let's see the latest celebrity gossip.

"Aaliyah!" I hear from outside my door.

NASH. I open the door expecting a hug and a kiss from our new addition to the family, but instead he grabs me and looks panicked.

"What's wrong?" I ask him worried something happened to him.

"I need you to help me cover up this hickey." He lifts his head and points at his neck. He has a hickey too. Hmmmmmmm? Did he give Shawn the hickey in the first place. I run to my bed pretending like this is new and reach for the power button on the remote.

"And things are really moving fast for upcoming vine singer Shaw..." I hit the power button. Wait, vine singer Shaw. I stop in my tracks. As in Shawn Mendes.

"Aaliyah come on!" Nash waves me into my bathroom. I go in thinking it was just my imagination. The makeup is still on the counter from Shawn's hickey so this takes a lot less time to finish. Nash was a lot paler than Shawn's but it still looked better than before.

"Now don't get it wet, it'll wash off." Nash picks me up and hugs me.

"Thanks babe. I owe you one." He runs out of room and back downstairs. Oh you have no idea.
