Madison came to her house and she opened the door. Shawn was standing with open arms in the entrance. Madison stuck her nose in his neck and put her arms around his muscular body. The young man did not dare to talk to her about her early day at the school, which had, so to speak, started very badly. He ended up saying to himself that all this would be for the best if he approached the question. But just when he was about to ask her about her day, Maddie received a text with an unknown number.

 "Hi it's Lauren, a friend gave me your number, I was wondering where you had been. I've been looking for you since the first class is over. " 

 A confused look was placed on Madison's face.

 - What's the matter? Asked the young singer.

 - I never gave my number to anyone at this school set apart you. This is not the only thing that worries me .. answered the teenager. 

 - What?

 - I've been receiving anonymous messages since I was at school. 

 - Anonymous messages? Shawn asked, confused.

 -Yes, someone threatens me to tell all my secrets to the students at school, and as the person has already done it one, I know he's is capable of it.

 - Can I see the messages? 

 - I'd rather not, Shawn. Anyway, I should answer Lauren, she looked worried.

 -It's okay, anyway, I have to go and put things away, said Shawn, indifferent.  

The teenagers both went in their room and Madison sat on her bed. She was worried about her step-brother which was more like a best friend to her and maybe even more. He was always there for her and was the only one that ever loved her for the way she was and saw in her what no one believe was the real her. Maybe he was just tired, maybe he just needed space. Her life was hell but Shawn always knew how to make her smile.

After an hour, Shawn knocked at Madison's door and entered the room. His hand were nervously moving around each other. He took a big breath and sat beside Madison, on her bed.

- I need to talk to you, he finally said. 

- What's wrong?

- I'll tell you but I need you to listen. 

- OK. I'm listening, said the young lady.

- You know, when I met you, I knew who you really are. I saw it in the way you speak, in your eyes. You fought all your life, you stayed strong for everyone, you stood tall and tried to make it look like you didn't hurt inside. No one ever listened to you, ever tried to understand. But I knew. I knew that special thing you have gotten all along in you. You are the most beautiful person I've met on the outside but mostly in the inside. Ever-since I put my eyes on you, I could never take them away from you. The crazy part is that we only know each other for a couple of weeks maybe. I still consider you as a person I want to keep in my life fro ever and I promise I will stay by your side. I know this is wrong but even though you are my step-sister, I'm madly in love with you.

Shawn looked down, almost like he was ashamed of the statement he just did.

- Shawn.. I-

Shawn looked at Madison and they just stared at each other for what seemed hours but was really a split second. Shawn slowly raised his hand and put it on Madison's cheek. They kissed but they got interrupted by Manuel who came home earlier to see his son. 

- SHAWN I'M HOME!
