-the next morning-

I wake up on a couch, Shawn wasnt with me so I was a little worried and confused. I sit up to see Mr Turner in the kitchen "Uh... Turner..?" I said confused "Hey Victoria. Shawn's just in the shower" Mr Turner said "Oh ok.. Uhh.." I play with my fingers "You and Shawn just showed up here last night. I was supposed to drop you off at the motel across the road but you guys passed out on my couch" Mr Turner said "Oh.. Well sorry for intruding.." I stood up "No no its fine. Do you want breakfast?" Mr Turner asked "Sure.." I smiled. I sat down on a stool as Mr Turner cooked up some breakfast, he put some on three plates and gave one to me. Shawn came out of the bathroom in new clothes and wet hair "Hey Shawn, I made breakfast" Mr Turner said "Great!" Shawn said taking a plate "So uh what are we doing today, Shawnie?" I asked him "I dont know. I know we have to go back to the motel. Pay for another night" Shawn said "No no. How about stay here with me. Let me give you guys a home for now. Let me put a roof on your heads" Mr Turner said "really..?" I said confused "yes really" Mr Turner said "Well I have a home.. Just not a stable one.. I'd have to call my dad and let him know.." I said "Ok well stay with me.. here.. please.." Shawn said "Sure, Shawnie" I smiled. Mr Turner was sitting down in the dining room and probably grading tests, Shawn and I were watching a movie on the couch, the phone rang and Mr Turner got up to answer it "Hello" Mr Turner said, his smile turned faded, Shawn and I looked at him confused once he hung up the phone "Uhh.. Victoria, it was your dad. He said he needed to tell you some news. You and Shawn. He asked for me to drop you guys off then you two could come back, afterwards.." Mr Turner said "O..ok.." I said confused. 

After Shawn and I got our shoes on and Mr Turner was ready, we left to my house. Once we walked in, my parents were sitting on the couch and so was Shawn's dad.. Chet went over to Mr Turner "Teach, what you did for my boy last night, well, I...just want to look you in the eye and say thanks." Chet said looking in Mr Turner's eyes and saying "Thanks" Chet kinda chuckled "You're welcome." Mr Turner said "Cause the important thing is knowing that my boy's safe and being looked after." Chet said "Hey, Dad... did you find mom?" Shawn spoke up, gripping my hand, scaredly "I did. I did find her, but...she gave me the slip again. You gotta respect that. Now, to that end, I have something on my mind.. which is why I'm here." Chet said "Thought I was why you're here." Shawn said "You are!" Chet laughed and side hugged him laughing "You are, you little Slim Jim. That you are. This is all about you." Chet said smiling "Shawnie, look.... Uh... this is hard to say. I ain't always been the perfect father..." Chet said "Dad, it's ok.." Shawn said "Jeremiah, I consider you a friend..." Chet said "Jonathan." Mr Turner said "I respect you. Yes, sir, you are the heart beat of America. People can count on you. You got roots. I like that." Chet said "Where's this heading?" Mr Turner said 

"I need a favor. My wife, Verna, she's... she's out there. And my heart's out there with her. Not to mention my wallet and major credit cards. But she is my wife and go after her I must." Chet said "And the favor?" Mr Turner asked "Take care of my boy. Now you don't have to answer right now... Well, yes, you do." Chet said "Dad, why can't I just come with you?" Shawn asked "Oh, come on. The road's no place for a boy. Especially with your mama out there driving on it. Nah, your place is here. In school, with Teach over there. In this house, in the company of these fine people. No pressure." Chet said "Chet, shouldn't you be asking Shawn what he thinks?" I said trying to help my boyfriend "Whatever. It's fine with me." Shawn said gripping my hand more "We're only talkin' a few days. Couple of weeks, tops! I'll call in every night." Chet said looking at Shawn "So, what's the verdict, Your Honor?" Chet said looking at Mr Turner "Well its fine with me. Shawn can stay with me as long as he likes. And Jedediah... Since your daughter isnt living with you considering the circumstances. And she isnt living with the Matthews. I dont mind taking her in too." Mr Turner said "If thats what she wants. Im fine with it." my dad said, as I nodded yes "Im not living under the same roof as a backstabbing witch so ill take Turner's offer." I said "Now I must be going now." Chet said slightly hugging Shawn then leaving.

"Shawn.. Are you ok?" my dad asked him "Yea.. Yea. Of course! Better then ever.." Shawn said looking at me "Shawnie.." I said "Im fine, Tori.." Shawn said, I nodded while smiling so he wouldnt cry, Shawn and I went upstairs to grab some things. I put them in suitcase since Shawn has clothes at my house, we packed some of that too. After we finished packing, we were about to go downstairs but he kissed me, I kissed back a little confused of why the sudden movement. It lasted a good minute then he pulled away "Thank you.." Shawn whispered "For what?" I asked confusedly "For being there.." Shawn whispered, I smiled and kissed his cheek "Of course." I said. We went downstairs, I hugged my dad then left with Mr Turner and Shawn...
