Shawns POV:

Don't get me wrong I've seen people cry before, but not people like Teagan.

Not people as strong as Teagan.

My momma always said that the best thing you can do when a girl cries is to hold her tight and not let go.

And to be honest I didn't plan on letting Teagan go.

We sit on my bed as she cries onto my already soaked t-shirt. I guess I never realized what Teagan goes through everyday.

There are still so many questions I have. But I know now is defiantly not the time.

So I hold her close and rub her back until a small sound leaves her mouth.

"I'm finally free" Teagan says just above a whisper, I didn't think she wanted me to hear that but I'm happy she trusts me.

I'm always happy when I'm around her.

About 10 minutes later she falls asleep in my arms. I lay her down in my bed and I take the floor.

I smile at how lucky I am.

I have the trust of the girl who has my heart.

----------------Morning-----------------

Teagans POV:

I wake up expecting to have one of my brothers banging on the door.

But instead I wake up in someone else's room.

I sit up already tense but relax when I see Shawn lying on the floor sleeping.

He looked so peaceful when he sleeps, like all his problems just disappeared.

I went to the laundry room and took my clothes, I changed and went back up to Shawns room.

I walk over to his desk and write down a note.

Shawn,

Went to go see some old friends.

I grabbed my things and walk out his door, I had to walk through the city to get to my destination.

I see a family of four as I walk down the street. I smile at the 2 little girls who are already smiling right back at me.

Sometimes I wish I had a family like this.

The perfect family.

The mom and dad get along so well, they show love and affection to their kids.

These kids are lucky.

And they don't even know it.

---------------------------------------------

I walked down the street and walk into the Walgreens at the end of the street.

I walk to the back and grab heart Carmel chocolates, a stuffed dinosaur, and flowers, Daisys.

I buy my things and continue walking down the street.

At the end of this street I look up at the metal gateway.

"Rush creek cemetery"

I sigh remembering how I would come here everyday after school.

I know exactly where I'm going, I've done this a thousand times before.

A few minutes later I find who I'm looking for.

I sit down next to the headstone and pull out the stuff I got earlier.

I take the old flowers out of the vase and put in the new Daisys.

I hold the stuffed dinosaur close to my chest and open the chocolates.

I look at the writing on the stone and sigh.

I lean my head on his grave, like he was still here right next to me.

I stay there the whole day talking like he was there, laughing like we used to.

I check my phone and it's 6 pm. I also have 3 new messages.

1 from TJ

1 from shawn

And 1 from Cameron

I open the one from TJ first

TJ- TEAGAN TAY COMES HOME TONIGHT HIS FLIGHT LANDS AT 7 WERE GOING TO MEET HIM THERE.

I respond.

TEAGAN- We don't have a ride though😓

TJ- This is why you should really get your liscense😂😂

TEAGAN- Leave me alone😂😂

TJ- Why don't you make Shawn drive us😏

TEAGAN-😑 how do you know about Shawn

TJ- Teagan come on I know everything plus its obvious we go to the same high school remember😉

TEAGAN- ugh fine but I still hate you😂

TJ- You love me❤️

I laugh at how stupid our sisterly bond is. I decide to open Shawns text next.

'Come over later :)'

I smile when I open it but before I can reply I get an incoming call from shawn.

*S-Shawn
*T-Teagan

S-Hey

T-hey can I ask you a favor?

S-okay.....

T-Its not anything bad, can you drive me and my sister to the airport?

S- your not leaving right?

T-Not if I can help it.

S-then yes it would be my pleasure to accompany you and your sister to the airport.

T- pick us up in a half hour?

S- I'll be there

I hang up the phone and smile at how cute that was.

I scroll through my feed on Twitter and remember Cam texted me.

I don't open it but throw my phone in my backpack and begin to walk home excited to see my older brother.
