A/n: Okay so I know that I made Aaliyah sound like a bitch in this but I was just trying to make it seem like she didn't like Y/n. Anyways, please enjoy. Okay, let's begin!
I've been dating the singer and songwriter, Shawn Mendes, for three months now and tonight I'm going to meet his family. I know that he's very close to his parents, Karen and Manny, and especially his sister, Aaliyah, so I really hope that they all like me. Shawn must have been able to sense my nerves as we drove with his hand on my thigh, because he began to speak.
"Are you okay honey?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah, just um, just nervous." I said.
"Why are you nervous?" Shawn asked.
"Well, I know how important your family is to you and I just really want to make a good first impression." I said. Shawn nodded.
"You're going to do great honey. I promise." Shawn said. I nodded.
"Okay." I said. We soon arrived at his childhood home and walked inside.
"Mom! Dad! Aaliyah! Y/n and I are here!" Shawn yelled. Karen showed up first and hugged Shawn.
"Hello there my darling! How are you?" She asked him just as Manny, Shawn's dad showed up.
"I'm good. Mum, Dad, this is my amazing girlfriend Y/n Y/l/n." Shawn said while smiling at me.
"Hi Y/n, it's so nice to meet you! We've heard so much about you." Karen said, causing me to blush.
"It's nice to meet you to Mr. and Mrs. Mendes." I said as I shook their hands.
"Oh please, call me Karen." Karen said with a warm smile.
"And call me Manny." Manny said. I smiled and nodded.
"Where's Aaliyah?" Shawn asked.
"Oh she's in the living room." Karen said. Shawn nodded as he interlaced our fingers together and brought me into the living room. Once Aaliyah saw Shawn, her whole face lit up, and she went running towards him.
"Shawn!" She yelled. Shawn let go of my hand so he could hug his little sister.
"Hey there dork. Liyah, I want you to meet my girlfriend. This is Y/n Y/l/n." Shawn said as he pulled away from the hug. Aaliyah looked me up and down and nodded.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi. Nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you." I said with a nervous smile.
"I've heard a lot about you too. Shawn talks about you so much that it's annoying, to be honest with you." Aaliyah said. Oh. Okay then. Shawn opened his mouth to say something but Karen soon called us into the dining room for dinner.
"So Y/n, tell us about yourself." Karen said. Shawn's hand was on my thigh and because he could tell that I was nervous, he squeezed. I started to tell them about myself but was soon interrupted by Aaliyah.
"Oh my gosh, you talk so much." Aaliyah said.
"No she doesn't!" Shawn practically yelled.
"Aaliyah, I asked her to tell us about herself and that's what she's doing. Please don't be rude to our guest." Karen said before looking at me. "Go ahead hun."
"If she's going to keep talking then I'm going upstairs." Aaliyah said.
"Aaliyah, what has gotten into you?" Manny asked. Aaliyah stood up.
"Nothing. I'm going to go to my room." Aaliyah said, and left.
"I am so sorry Y/n, she's never like that." Karen said.
"It's okay. She's right, I was talking too much." I said while looking at my food. Shawn took his hand and made me turn my head so I was looking at him. Just by looking into his caramel colored eyes, I felt slightly better.
"You were fine honey. Keep going." Shawn encouraged. I sighed before continuing. Soon, dinner was over.
"Oh, let me help you clean up Karen." I said. She waved her hand off.
"It's fine. But I do want to talk to you for a moment." Karen said. Oh gosh. I followed her into the kitchen.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Well I just wanted to apologize for Aaliyah. I'm going to make her come down here and apologize to you herself. I don't know what got into her." Karen said, sounding flustered.
"It's okay, you don't have to." I said.
"No, I do. She usually doesn't behave like that. Let's pick a movie and we can all sit down and watch it. What's your favorite movie Y/n?" Karen asked while giving me a warm smile. I thought for a moment.
"I love the movie Sully with Tom Hanks." I said with a smile.
"Sully it is then." Karen said. I smiled and we went back into the living room. "Let's put on Sully. I'm going to call Aaliyah down."
"Okay." Shawn said as I sat down next to him. "What was that about?"
"She wanted to apologize because of Aaliyah." I said. Shawn nodded.
"Yeah I'm sorry too. I've never seen her act like that." Shawn said. I kissed his cheek and he smiled. Aaliyah soon came downstairs and into the living room. She saw me and rolled her eyes. What did I do wrong?
"Aaliyah don't you have something that you want to say to Y/n?" Manny asked. Aaliyah looked at the tv and shook her head.
"No." Aaliyah said.
"Liyah, you treated her poorly earlier. Please apologize to my girlfriend." Shawn pleaded. Aaliyah sighed and turned to me.
"I'm sorry." She mumbled, and I could tell that she didn't mean it.
"Can you say it like you mean it please?" Karen asked.
"But I don't." Aaliyah said. I turned to Shawn.
"Would you mind driving me back to my place, please? I'm not feeling all that great, I think I ate too much." I asked and said.
"Are you sure?" Shawn asked, a look of concern etched across his face.
"Shawn, if she wants to leave, let her leave." Aaliyah said.
"It's not so much that I want to leave, it's just that I don't feel good." I said. Aaliyah scoffed. I stood up and said goodbye to Karen and Manny. When I went to say goodbye to Aaliyah, she just started at her phone. I soon got in the car and Shawn started to drive me back to my place.
"I'm so sorry about her." Shawn said.
"It's okay." I said, looking out the window.
"No, it's not." Shawn said. I nodded and closed my eyes. Shawn soon arrived at my place and walked me to the door. "Can I have a kiss?"
"Of course you can have a kiss." I said with a smile. Shawn put his lips on mine and I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks, I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, and I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy. We soon pulled away.
"Can we have an all day cuddle marathon tomorrow?" Shawn asked with a smile. I giggled and nodded.
"Of course." I said. Shawn gave me one more kiss before he left. I walked in and sat down on my couch. What did I do to upset her? I thought. The next day, Shawn and I spent the whole day cuddling on my couch. I'm really falling for him and I can only hope that he feels the same way about me. As we cuddled on the couch, a thought popped into my head. I looked up at Shawn and then ran my fingers through his hair. Shawn closed his eyes and hummed in contentment. When I suddenly stopped, he opened his eyes.
"You okay honey?" Shawn asked.
"If your sister doesn't approve of me, are you going to break up with me?" I asked, feeling very nervous. Shawn sat up, causing me to sit up. He held my face in his big hands.
"Honey, of course not. I don't care who does approve of us, and who doesn't approve of us, nothing is going to break us up." Shawn said, calming my fears. I smiled and nodded.
One month later
I was sitting on the couch in my boyfriend Shawn's childhood home, cuddled up to him, when his sister walked in while on the phone with someone. She rolled her eyes.
"I have to go. Y/n is here." Aaliyah said before hanging up.
"Hey Aaliyah. How are you?" I asked. She rolled her eyes again and sat down on the other side of the couch. When she didn't answer, Shawn spoke up.
"Liyah, my girlfriend asked you a question." Shawn said.
"I know." Aaliyah said.
"So why don't you answer it?" Shawn asked, and I could tell that he was getting frustrated with her.
"Because she's so annoying." Aaliyah said.
"She is not!" Shawn practically yelled.
"Aaliyah, if you don't mind me asking, why are you so upset with me?" I asked. Aaliyah turned to me.
"You're so annoying, you talk too much, and you're trying to steal my brother from me." She said.
"None of those things are true!" Shawn said. I patted his leg and then looked back at Aaliyah.
"I'm not trying to steal your brother from you, I promise. I have a brother too, and I would never want that to happen, but I know that he would never let it happen, and Shawn never would either." I said.
"That's right. No one can take me away from you." Shawn said. Aaliyah still looked upset.
"You're not good enough for him. I liked Lauren better." Aaliyah said.
"She's perfect for me Liyah, and I don't care who you liked better, but with Y/n now, and I'm really, really happy." Shawn said. Aaliyah scoffed and went back upstairs.
"I need some air." I said as I stood up.
"No, wait, baby. Please don't listen to her." Shawn said.
"I just need some air. Please don't follow me out." I said and stepped outside. I sat down on the front steps, put my head in my hands, and cried. Ever since I had met Aaliyah, she had been acting like this towards me, and I wasn't sure how much more of this I could take. I went back inside after a few minutes. "Shawn?"
"Yes?" Shawn asked when he looked up at me.
"Can you drive me back to my place please?" I asked.
"Um, yeah, sure. Are you okay?" He said and asked as he got his shoes on.
"I just need to be alone." I said. He nodded.
"Okay." He said, and we soon arrived at my place. Before I got out, I needed to say something.
"Shawn, um, you're an amazing guy, and these past four months have been amazing -" I said before being cut off by Shawn whose eyes were wide.
"Please tell me you're not breaking up with me." He pleaded. I put my hand on his as I started to cry.
"I think that you should listen to your sister. You'll find a great girl, someone who will get along with everyone in your family. That girl just isn't me. I'm sorry Shawn. Goodbye." I said.
"Wait, Y/n, please, let me talk to her." Shawn said.
"We just tried that. I have to go." I said, got out of the car, went inside, and fell to the floor sobbing. What had I done?
Shawn's point of view
My girlfriend of four months, Y/n, just broke up with me because of the way that my sister, Aaliyah, treated her. I sat in Y/n's driveway for a few minutes, in shock, before driving back to my childhood home. I walked inside and saw my mom.
"Hi sweetie. Where's Y/n?" She asked. I broke down sobbing.
"She broke up with me." I cried.
"Why?" My mom asked, looking panicked.
"Because of the way that Liyah treated her." I said.
"Oh honey, I'm so sorry. What can I do?" She asked. I shrugged.
"Nothing. Just be there for me I guess." I said.
"Okay. Well, why don't you go lay down in your old room and rest?" My mom said. I nodded and did just that. When I woke up and went downstairs, I saw Aaliyah sitting on the couch.
"Do you know what you did?" I asked her. She looked confused.
"No. What did I do?" She asked.
"Because of you, Y/n broke up with me! How could you Aaliyah? I'm head over heels in love with that girl and you ruined it! Thanks a lot." I said. Aaliyah's jaw dropped and I walked away.
"Wait! What's Y/n's phone number?" Aaliyah asked. I turned back to her.
"Why do you want it? So you can be mean to her some more?" I asked. Aaliyah shook her head.
"No. To apologize. I didn't realize that you felt like that about her, and if she really makes you that happy, I'll leave her alone. Just don't forget about me, okay?" Aaliyah said and asked. I pulled her in for a hug.
"Thank you. I could never forget about you, my lil chica." I teased, causing Aaliyah to laugh. I gave Aaliyah Y/n's phone number. I don't know what will happen, but whatever it is, I hope it's good.
Your point of view
I sat in my living room with my best friend, Grace, eating ice cream.
"Shawn seemed so great for you." Grace said.
"It wasn't his fault, it was his sister that was acting like that towards me." I said. She nodded. My phone went off, it was an unknown number.
Unknown: Hi Y/n, it's Aaliyah. I just wanted to say that I am so beyond sorry for the trouble that I've caused. I didn't want you and Shawn to break up. I don't know what I wanted. I just didn't want my brother stolen from me, I guess. He just yelled at me and told me that I ruined everything and that he's head over heels in love with you, and I hope that you feel the same way about him because he's a great guy. Please get back together with my brother, I'll be nice to you, I swear. I'm sorry for the things that I said, just please get back together with Shawn.
"Oh my gosh Grace it's from Aaliyah." I said when I finished reading the text.
"What?" Grace asked. I showed it to her.
"Look." I said. She read it and then handed my phone back to me.
"Wow. You know what this means right?" Grace asked. I shook my head no.
"No. What?" I asked.
"It means that you call Shawn to come over, and I leave and you two make up." Grace said. I thought for a moment before nodding.
"Okay." I said. I clicked on Shawn's contact and called him. He picked up on the second ring.
"Y/n?" He asked.
"Hey." I said.
"Hi. Did you leave something over here and you wanted it back or-" Shawn started before I cut him off.
"No, um, I was wondering if you wanted to come over actually." I said. Grace nodded and gave me a thumbs up.
"Um, yeah, sure. I'm on my way." He said.
"Okay. Bye." I said.
"Bye." He said, and we hung up. I looked at Grace.
"He's on his way." I said nervously.
"Good! Why do you look nervous?" Grace asked.
"I just broke his heart! Is he actually going to want to be with me again?" I asked. Grace took my hands in hers.
"Aaliyah said that he's head over heels in love with you. Of course he wants to be with you again. I better get going but let me know how it goes, okay?" Grace said and asked. I nodded.
"Okay. Thanks for coming over." I said. She smiled and nodded as she hugged me.
"You're welcome. Love you." She said.
"Love you too." I said, and she left. Half an hour later, there was a knock on my door. I opened it to reveal Shawn.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi. Come on in." I said, opening the door more. He came in and we sat down.
"So what's up?" He asked nervously.
"I, um, I got a text from Aaliyah." I said. Shawn's eyes widened.
"What did she say?" Shawn asked. I showed him the text message and he read it. He then handed my phone back to me. "I can't believe that she told you that I said that I'm head over heels in love with you."
"It's okay Shawn." I said.
"No, it's not, because you probably don't feel the same way." Shawn said as he ran his fingers through his luscious locks. I took his hands in mine.
"Shawn, I do feel the same way." I said. Shawn's eyes widened.
"Really?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Really." I said.
"What did you think of her saying that we should get back together?" Shawn asked while rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
"I think that it's a great idea." I said. Shawn smiled.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Y/n, would you like to be my girlfriend again?" Shawn asked. I smiled and nodded my head violently.
"Yes!" I said. Shawn then tackled me so I was laying with my back on the couch and he kissed all over my face, causing me to laugh like crazy.
"Thank God. Those were the worse three hours of my life." Shawn said.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just, I was getting really upset by what she said and I thought that it would be best if we weren't together, but obviously I was wrong." I said. Shawn sat up and pulled me onto his lap.
"It's okay honey. We're back together now, and happy, and that's all that matters. Right?" Shawn asked. I nodded.
"Right." I said.
"Y/n?" Shawn asked. He seemed nervous.
"Yes Shawny?" I asked as I ran my fingers through his hair.
"I love you." He said.
"Really?" I asked. Shawn chuckled and nodded.
"Yes. I love you." He said. I hugged him.
"I love you too." I said. Shawn hugged me back.
"Oh that makes me so happy." Shawn said, causing me to giggle. I pulled away a little.
"Well Shawny, you make me so happy." I said. Shawn smiled.
"You make me so happy too. Why don't you come back to my parent's house?" Shawn asked.
"How about we do that tomorrow? I want cuddle time with my man." I said. Shawn smiled and nodded before texting his mom and letting her know that we got back together and that he was going to spend some time with me. I texted Aaliyah back and thanked her for apologizing and told her that Shawn and I got back together. She sent me back a thumbs up emoji. I feel bad that I broke up with Shawn, but at least him and I are back together again.
