It All Started With A Game || Aaron Carpenter and Shawn Mendes au

Twenty-Four - FINAL CHAPTER

"Two months and four days ago, I hated your guts. Then you kissed me, and I realized I liked you for a long time. Now, I realize that I love you. I want nothing more than a life with you! Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, to answer your question, yes we can be consistent. I want nothing more than that," I finish with tears streaming down my face and Shawn's face.

"Cheyenne Danielle Carpenter, I love you so much," he says, before his arms wrap around my waist, and he kisses me.

Believe it or not, I lost my virginity to Shawn about an hour ago while on the beach. It is now 9:58pm, and Shawn is driving me towards my house. To say Aaron is going to be pissed would be an understatement. I think we're meeting satan tonight.

Shawn pulls into my driveway, but he doesn't turn off the car. "What are you doing?"

"Cheyenne, I love you, and I'll do anything for you. But I draw the line at letting you see your brother and I fight because we both know you cannot handle that."

"Look, you and I are together. I don't give a shit if my brother likes it or not. We may meet satan tonight in that house, but he will not keep me from being insanely in love with you. Now, let's go in there and tell him. Stop being a wuss." With that, we're both out of the car.

"That satan remark didn't help," Shawn says as he wraps his arm around my waist.

"Grow a pair," I roll my eyes, taking out my Keyes.

"You know I've already grown a pair. Especially after tonight," he says.

"Yeah yeah," I laugh, opening the door. As soon as the door closes, the lights go on.

"Shawn, you have two fucking seconds to get your hands off of my sister. Starting now," Aaron threatens immediatly.

"Aaron," I start, but Shawn stops me.

"No, you always do this. I need to step in for once." He kisses my cheek before walking up to Aaron.

Before I can comprehend anything, Shawn is on the ground with Aaron on top of him. I'm instantly beside Casey.  I try to step in, but before I can, Aaron has been moved under shawn, who has him pinned down.

"Do you care about your sister," Shawn asks Aaron.

"Of course I do!"

"Then stand up, and let's have a civilized conversation," he says before standing up, soon followed by Aaron.

Once standing, Aaron motions for Shawn to talk, which he obliges to.

"Your sister used to hate my guts. I was the worst possible thing on this earth to her. Somehow, I changed that, and now she loves me, and I love her. You can believe it, or you can think it's a lie. To be honest, I don't give a shit which. I just know that I'm in love with her.

"Aaron, you're my brother, and I love you, man. That doesn't mean that I'm just going to leave your sister because you don't approve. I was scared to say something before because I didn't want to start shit, but shit has already started. That means I'm just going to say what I'm going to say and be done with it. After I'm done, you're either going to despise me, or respect me. I don't honestly care which although I choose the latter.

"Maxine, or Max as you guys call her, got one of her friends to take a picture of Cheyenne after gym, changing. They were going to send it to everyone if I didn't kiss Maxine right then and there, and I had five seconds to decide. I did the only thing I could think of in five seconds. I kissed her. It was stupid as fuck, but I did it to protect Cheyenne. Why? Because I love her to death. Honestly, I could've gotten any disease known to man - and probably not known to man - from that, but I still did it anyway.

"Look man, in twenty years, you and I are going to be forty, drinking beer on a porch, and talking about things going on with either sports or our wives or kids. You're most likely going to be talking about Casey. Which is perfectly fine with me! I'm going to be talking about Cheyenne. You're probably still going to hate it, but I'm not going to care because I love her, and she's my baby girl. All I want for her is the fucking best, and I believe that i am the fucking best. Maybe not at a lot of things, but at being more than enough for her I am."

Wow. Okay. Uhm... I feel very loved right about now.

"Welcome to the family," Aaron says casually, hugging Shawn.

"Wait, what? He gives you one rant, and you're okay with me being with him, but I give you a thousand, and you get mad," I exclaim.

"Chey, I knew he was scared to confront me because he didn't want to start anything or lose me as a best friend. That's why, until he chose to confront me himself, I wasn't going to allow it. This shows he truly cares for you, so I'll plan the wedding for you," he shrugs before stretching, saying he's going to bed, and dragging Casey up there with him.

Let's just say, Shawn and I heard moaning all night long.
