The Secret Life // A Shawn Hunter fanfic

Twenty-Five ➵ both

Shawn
I went downstairs to see this fight that was happening downstairs. Turns out, it was two guys that were spraying each other with the cheddar spray. They were covered in that shiny golden sauce and were laughing their heads off.
"Really dude?" I demanded Cory, smacking him across the head as he was chuckling.
"Sorry Shawn." He apologized with a shrug. I realized I had left Jasmine alone, and headed upstairs to head back to her. However, when I had arrived there, she was gone.
"Jasmine?" I called out her name,  as I was searching for her. No sign of her.
I headed back downstairs and tried to find Topanga, who was talking to Dawn and Trinie. I went over to her and grabbed a hold of her arm to get her attention. She turned around and I let go.
"Topanga, where's Jasmine? Have you seen her?" I asked her. She shook her head no in response and I panicked.
"I thought she was with you?"
"She was. I left her alone though cause Cory was talking about this 'big fight' happening down here, but turns out it was a cheese fight. Then I came back and she was gone. I thought she went to you."
"She wasn't. Maybe she's here somewhere?" Topanga wondered.
"I don't know, she would of been talking to you right about now. Where could she be instead of being with us?" I hypothesized, trying to figure out where she was. Suddenly, then I realized something:
Eddie and his gang must of took her.
"I think I know where she is. Stay here and keep the guests partying while I'll go find her. If I don't, I'll call you. Ok?" I told Topanga, and she nodded.
"I hope she's okay." She fretted, and I headed upstairs to go find Jasmine. To the trailer park I go.

Jasmine
I had no clue where I was when I woke up. As I was trying to locate where I was, it was hard to since it was completely dark. Then that was when I realized I was at a trailer park. I sat up, slowly, just in case someone was here.
I stood up, and tried to sneak out, when I tripped over something, causing a loud crash that was easy for someone to hear. I kept trying to continue to find a way out of this trailer but it was too late. Someone had gotten a hold of my arm.
"Where do you think you're going?" I heard a familiar voice tease me. I tried to disfigure the lingering shadow, and I remembered who it was: Eddie.
I didn't answer his question. I got out of his hold but it was unsuccessfully, as he pushed me to the ground.
He then dragged me back up, holding me by the arm.
"What's that pretty thing around your neck? Maybe I should steal it..." Eddie murmured, as he tried to yank it off of me but I clasped my hand over it.
"No! This is not yours. It's a birthday gift from Shawn- your brother that's a way better Hunter than you will ever be." I snapped at him, and suddenly he slapped me, then got a hold of the hem of my dress, pulling me closer to him.
"You listen to me,  just because Shawn thinks he has a girlfriend like you does not mean he should be better than anyone else in the trailer park. Before I was the best Hunter in this trailer park. Now it's your fault and I'm going to end your life, one way or another." He picked up a kitchen knife and pulled it to my neck, scaring me.
But not for long.
The door slammed open, and someone jumped at Eddie. It was Shawn.
"What are you doing to my girlfriend? Why did you kidnap her Eddie?" Shawn demands as he was trying to pin him to the ground. Eddie didn't answer his question right away as the two were tossing and turning, fighting against each other. I remembered Eddie had the kitchen knife as he was on top of Shawn, trying to take a stab at him.
"You're not better than me Shawn! I am the better Hunter." Eddie didn't exactly answer Shawn's question.
"Shawn!" I screamed, as Eddie made a cut on his cheek, and I jumped on top of Eddie's back, wrapping my arms around his neck trying to choke him.
It failed as he elbowed me in the stomach hard and he got on top of me. I tried kicking him but he held me down, fighting his grip.
Shawn did the same thing I was doing to Eddie, as he successfully was choking his brother. I tried to help Shawn out but he threw his brother out of the window, and he landed into the bushes outside of the trailer.
We headed out to see where Eddie was, and we noticed he was struggling to get out of the bushes, but Shawn got a hold of him and threw him to the ground.
"If you ever lay a hand on Jasmine again, I promise it'll be worse than ever for you. I will kill you."  Shawn threatened him, and Eddie just groaned in agony.
Shawn looked at him for a while, and I rested my hand on his shoulder, trying to get him away from Eddie. He  didn't need to get hurt than he already was.
Shawn then got a hold of my hand, his fingers slipping in with mine, and we went home.

When we returned home, Shawn's parents were at the table slicing the cake. They heard us walk in, and Shawn's mom quickly made a plate with a piece of cake on it.
"Jasmine! Shawn! How was the party?" She asked us.
"Pretty good." I answered. We decided to leave out the part where Eddie harassed me. I didn't want to cause any drama in the Hunter family. It would be just too stressful.
"Well, it's now time to make your official birthday wish Jasmine. I added two candles with the numbers of your age in it for you. Now go ahead and blow it." She insisted after lighting the candles. Shawn's dad took a seat at the dining table whereas Shawn rested his hand on the top of my arm.
"Make a wish." She added as I wasn't doing anything aside from staring at the cake. I took a deep breath, and then blew the candles out, the flames disappearing as if it was some sort of magic trick.
My wish?
I wasn't going to say. But I just hoped that this wish, would be great for Shawn and i's relationship.
We would just have to see.
When getting ready for bed, Shawn had called Topanga and told her to bring my presents to the trailer tomorrow morning. She promised she would.
After that, I was in my bed. I still had the necklace Shawn gave me around my neck.
I never wanted anyone to steal it.
This was the most special gift anyone has ever bought me.
"How did you enjoy your birthday Jasmine?" Shawn asked me, as he slipped into the bed. Since he knows I get scared sometimes of sleeping by myself with too much horrifying thoughts and memories- even nightmares- he's been sleeping with me lately.
"It was great, all thanks to you." I acknowledged him, and he just smiled. We shared a kiss, as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday this year Jas. I really am. And that necklace, I hope you love that." Shawn says. I kissed him again, us staring into each other's eyes for a while.
"Thank you. And I love you." I said to him. Shawn just smiled, and rested his head on top of my shoulder, snuggling against each other for comfort.
"I love you." He whispered into my ear.
"I love you more." I teased him, and he just smiled. He kissed me on the temple good night, leaving me awake and staring at the necklace he got me.
I traced the outer lining of the heart, the necklace leaving me in awe of how special it was.
At last, I was able to fall asleep, and dreamt about the wish I had coming true.

Author's note:
This is a shorter chapter! I thought since my last chapter was more than 30 pages I should have a short chapter here :)
What do you think Jasmine wished for?
