It's Monday, today's Marianas funeral I don't know if Shawn is going to get through this. He stands in the mirror doing up his tie and his suite."Are you ready for this?" i asked him handing over his watch. "I have to be ready for this, I have to be strong" he says starting to stress, "you don't have to be strong, your mother is gone and you say you have to be strong, it's ok to cry it's ok to be like this.
The soft sad piano is playing faintly in the background as family members say their eulogies, everyone pays their respect, even I do. As the casket is getting moved outside something isn't right with Shawn he's holding something back from me. "hey, is everything ok?" I say in a faint voice he grabs my hand and pulls me away from the ceremony. "No, I need to tell you something, i was going to tell you a while ago but I fell in love with you Elena, I love you, I can't do this" he says walking in circles stressing to the max. "what is it? What did you want to tell me?" i ask him trying to get him to talk. "She paid me to be with you, to hang around with you" there was the most silent pause ever, "w-what do you mean? Who?" I was the most confused I have ever been in my life. "Your mum 'hired' me to be friends with you, she paid me to be with you, but it wasn't meant to be like this it was only meant to be a friendship not this, I fell in love with you, I love you....Say something". "I don't know what to say Shawn after everything and you were just gonna use me for my mother's money? Everything we had? Was that fake too?". Shawn tries to interrupt me to make it better. "I'm sorry Elena, I love you", his eyes starting to water. "It's clear now, I'm done, I don't want to see you again, please just let me be" "but I.." shawn tries to glue my heart back together, "No Shawn this over and it didn't even start", tears pouring down my face i walk away trying to look like everything nit falling apart. Shawn is crying and stressed about what he had done this whole time he keeps running his hand through his hair. I find Alessia and tell her that I'm so sorry but I have to go before she could say anything I had already gone.
As I drive away in a taxi I cry, I see Shawn and cry even more, but I now know that this love that we had for each other it was never real it was all fake. How did I ever fall into this trap, this could never be real I'm just another ugly girl and he's perfect...
