Prolonged
Layla POV
I had actually just gotten to Charlie's house. Him and my parents asked me to come live with him to be able to help him and stuff and of course I couldn't say no to helping my favorite sibling.
"Hey!" Charlie said as I smiled at him giving him a big hug. I haven't seen him in so long.
"I've missed you so much." I mumbled as I hear him chuckle.
"I've missed you too sis. Why don't you go leave your things in your room and take a bath?" He asked and I laughed.
"Are you saying I stink?" I asked him mocking hurt.
"No, just thought you wanted a bath is all." He said and I shook my head.
"Alright I'll go take a bath." I said walking up stairs.
"2nd door the the left. My room is right across from it." I hear Charlie say and I walked in my room.
"Wow." I said. (Pic up top her room)
I walked to the bed putting my suitcase on it and looking for some underwear, shorts and a black shirt. I walked to the bathroom and started to sing Stitches by Shawn Mendes. I made sure to hit all the right notes as I sang. Once I was done showering I dried myself up and got dressed before walking out the door still humming to the song.
"You have a really nice voice." I jumped and looked at the person who said that as my eyes widen.
"Surprise baby sis." Said Charlie from beside the person with a camera in hand.
"Uhh.. I'm uhh.." I didn't know what to say. I blinked and looked between Charlie and the guy I've had a major crush on ever since I heard him sing for the first time.
"It's nice to meet you Layla. I've heard a lot about you." Said Shawn as the tears came to my eyes and I tried covering my face with my hands.
"Aw don't cry." I hear Shawn say and I feel him hug me and give me a kiss on the head. He's so much taller than me. I'm barely 5'5!
"It's ok." He said pulling back to look at me in the eyes.
"I.. it's just I've wanted to meet you for so long I never thought my brother would.." I tried to get out but Shawn just gave me a smile.
"Well it's nice to meet you. I hope we can become friends." He said and I smiled hugging him tight.
"I just can't believe it's you." I mumbled and he laughed a bit.
"I'm guessing Charlie didn't tell you?" He asked and I pull back looking at him.
"Tell me what?" I asked curious.
"Me and him are going on a tour together." Said Charlie and my eyes widen.
"Congrats Charles!" I said smiling at both of them.
"And we want you to come with us." Said Shawn and that's when I look at them strange.
"Uhh.. what?" I asked.
"We want you to come with us... I don't want to be away from my baby sister again when I just got you back." Charlie said.
"Charles you know how I.."
"I know. This is not for me to expose you to the public or anything, I just want to spend some time with baby sis." Said Charlie and I look at the floor.
"I don't know Charles.." I said.
"I would like to get to know you better as well. And I certainly would love to hear you sing more." Said Shawn smiling at me causing me to blush.
"Plus I want to hear everything about high school.. other than what you've already told me." Said Charlie and I shook my head.
"Fine I'll go.." I said and I felt my brother hugging me as I smile and hug him back.
"Thank you so much sis." He said kissing my cheek.
"We're leaving tonight though." He said pulling back.
"What?!" I said.
"Hell at least I didn't unpack." I mumbled.
"Why don't we go to the studio room?" Asked my brother and I nodded smiling.
"So Layla." I hear Shawn say and I turn to look at him.
"You were singing Stitches right?" He asked... more like stated.
"Yeah.." I said.
"How come you sounded better than me singing it?" He asked and I blushed.
"Don't be silly... I just like singing." I said looking at the floor embarrassed.
"Then why not make it a profession?" He asked and Charlie looked at him as well as me.
"I wouldn't count on it Shawn." Said Charlie.
"Why not?" Shawn asked now looking at my brother.
"Well umm.. I'm kinda shy and very awkward around people I don't know. Specially if they're nice since I used to get bullied in school and then when Charlie made it big everyone was just acting so differently and asking me if I could put in a good word for them or if I could give them Charles phone number. I just couldn't stand it so I moved to Spain a place where not much people knew who Charlie was and I avoided using my last name at all cause." I said and he nodded as we made it to the studio like room.
"So out of all your siblings you're closer to Charlie?" Shawn asked and I nodded.
"Mikaela and Stephen have like.. they always had each other for everything me and Charlie had to deal with the same things they did alone and I remember always being with Charlie and he teaching me about music and stuff and well I don't know I guess that's kinda like our bound in a way." I said.
"Yeah our parents call her my very late twin sister. Since she came in years later but we acted the same way." Said Charlie as I laughed.
"Oh Charles I forgot to tell you this really funny story that happened like the last day of school when they were talking about our graduation gowns and graduation and practice and blah blah blah. So the teacher was talking to all of us seniors and suddenly this beat comes to my head and I'm like I really need to do this beat, but I couldn't just take my phone out and record it so I took one of my notebooks and started to write the notes on the paper and the teacher catches me writing and he looks at me so weird." I said laughing to myself.
"Then he asked 'Layla what are you writing down?' I looked back up at him and I show him the sheet he then looks at it and says 'I don't understand what that is.' At that moment I sighed and say 'ok well let me translate it for you.' I took out my phone and hit record before I start doing the beat." I started to do the beat in my head but looked to Charlie's side and see a base so I walk to it and start to play the beat and adding some beat boxing.
"I think I have my next song." Said Charlie and I looked at him strange.
"What do you mean?" I asked with a laugh before he started to work.
