CHARLOTTE
"what i want to know is why-" Shawn starts to bubble up but i manage to stop him as he was speaking, "Shawn. please, stop. for me." i say knowing he would.

he backs up and leans against the wall, taking deep breaths.

"anyways," i smile towards the doctor, "when can i leave?"

"if you would like to now, you may. i should get going now. more patients to treat. have a good day, all of you." Dr. Neil walks out and the air fills with silence.

"i need to go visit someone. i will be back." Shawn states breaking the silence and walks out glaring at Cameron.

"why are you even dating him?" Cameron scoffs practically spitting in Shawn's direction.

"i'm not-" i stop mid sentence. i forgot for a minute that Shawn and i were dating, that this was all a show for Cameron. i was about to tell him i was a liar.

"you're not...?" Cameron mimics urging that i continue.

"i'm not..." i start to panic but an ending came to mind. "i'm not regretting a single thing, Cameron. Shawn is a good guy, and i don't regret saying yes."

"but everyone was jealous of us babe. we were the "it" couple."

"we were not. our age differences gave everyone a knot in their stomach. they all thought it was a terrible decision. they all thought i was an idiot, that i was stupid that i was-"

"stop." Cameron demands with a stern tone to his voice.

i can feel myself shrink like i'm a little kid being yelled at by her father.

"you are beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, smart, and amazing. don't you ever doubt that." Cameron whispers and kisses my forehead.

he always kissed my forehead and it always made me feel safe and loved. it was no different this time.

"thank you Cameron." i look down and say.

"i love you. don't forget that." Cameron states lifting my chin up.

i smile, "i will always love you Cameron. you were my first love."

"and you were mine." Cameron states laying beside me.

i lean my head on his shoulder and closing my eyes. this all feels like a dream.

SHAWN
i walk down the hallway and into another room. he was the reason i was here in the first place. i slowly open the door and look at the guy in the bed. he is my friend, best friend, companion, supporter, and he's my dad.
