Slipping~A Shawn Mendes Fan Fic~

~Chapter Four~

Gloria's POV~
I woke up in my moms bed and the memories came flooding back. I looked at the alarm clock in my moms room it was 5:30 am.

I sighed and walked into my room, I picked out a pair of under armour sweat pants, a swear shirt, threw on a pair of sneakers, and put my hair in a sloppy bun.

My grandfather is an early riser so he should be awake. I walked downstairs and ate a slice of bread with Nutella and while doing so I decided I was going to run to grandfathers house because he's on a couple streets over.

I knew he needed someone to come see him so that he doesn't feel like a loner, plus he needed someone to sort his week of pills and do some chores.

I was walking down the road near Shawn's house when I heard someone shout my name. I turned around to see Shawn standing there and as soon as he saw my face his smile dropped. "Are you ok?"

"Yea I'm fine." I simply said looking at the ground. "But your crying?" That's when I realized I was crying again. "Yea I just..uh.. It's a long story I gotta go." With that I started to run, my feet moving on and off the pavement.

Once I got to my grandfathers house I helped him sort his pills for the week and I did the dishes and laundry, the whole time I was there it was just silent.

I even made my grandmothers bed and put her laundry away, I knew my grandfather and I knew he would want nothing done or taken out of her room. I checked the clock and it was 7:00am so I decided to head home I gave my grandfather a gentle kiss on his forehead and left.

On the way back I looked at my phone and saw I had a text from Shawn.

Shawn~ Are you ok!!??
Shawn~ Are you still coming?
Gloria~ Yea it's just a little family thing don't worry, and of course I'm still coming😁😜

It was weird how just a little text from him could make me smile.

When I got home I had a expected to see my mom in the living room crying but to my surprise she was on the couch reading a book sipping a cup of tea. (But that's none of my business)

I walked over to her and kissed her on the head "feeling better?" "Yea I am. How about you?" She asked me "I'm ok it just sucks she's gone, and grandpa is ok I checked on him and he seems to be ok" I answered.

"Oh and I'm going with a friend to sky zone at 11 is that ok?" "Yea it's fine you need to get out anyways." "Ok thanks mom" I said while kissing her on the forehead again before walking upstairs.

I hopped in the shower and then when I got out I picked out a pair of yoga pants and a Nike t-shirt. I straightened my hair and put it in a high ponytail and slipped on a head band.

Just as I was walking down stairs I heard a knock on the door followed by my moms voice "Gloria your friend is here!" I smiled at her and said "Thanks mom" and kissed her cheeck.

As I was putting on my shoes she beat over and whispered in my ear "You never told me your friend was a boy" she giggled "momm" I groaned she put her hands up playfully "ok I'm sorry" Shawn chuckled and we walked off to his car.

During the car ride I got to know Aaliyah, she was so cool, she plays hockey and she's really funny.
