Forever After.

Black Dresses and Broken Hearts.

I sat silently on the plane beside Shawn as he scrolled through his phone. He said nothing, it was like he had seen a ghost.
"Shawn would you please tell me what your phone call with Nash was about." I pleaded
"I don't think now's the best time to talk about it." He said as I grabbed his hand
"Just tell me. I told you what my phone call was about." I said as he sighed
"You really want to know?" He asked as I hesitantly nodded.
"Usually for a wreck there has to be two cars involved." He was treating me like our kids
"I'm not a kid I know how wrecks work." I huffed
"Okay! Well the person in the other car that was involved in the wreck that your father caused died." He quickly looked at the floor
"Oh my! We should go pay our respects to the family." I said as tears threatened to stream down my face. "That's what we're doing." He looked up at me with tears in his eyes "What?" I asked
"Katy was in the other car. She died Sky." He said while holding me in his arms and rubbing my back.
A cry escaped my lips as I almost had a death grip on him. I pulled away when I heard him cry
"Why are you crying?" I asked in between sobs
"I don't like to see you upset and Nash was balling his eyes out over the phone. I know how much she meant to you and it tears me apart." He said as he wiped a tear of mine.
7 Hours Later
I talked my mum into taking the girls so I could go to the funeral. Shawn and I found seats next to Nash. They played some wonderful songs that I've heard before and turned them into the saddest songs. After a few hours people started going up to the casket to pay their respects. I was the last person to go up there, but I made Shawn go up with me. I stood beside her as I looked at her and Shawn put his hands on my shoulders
"I'm so sorry." He whispered
"You have no idea how much my family loved her. She was like a sister to me. And now she's gone." I said as another tear rolled down my cheek. I swallowed hard before looking up at the sky and saying "Take good care of Katy for us. Let her know how much we love her and miss her." I said before walking away.
I turned to face Nash
"Ya know it's good to remember the fun times we had with her." I said as Nash nodded his head
"How do you know that?" Shawn asked
"Uncle Jessie on Full House." I said as we all let out a little laugh. I gave Nash a hug then moved as I watched Shawn give him a hug. Once they were done 'bro hugging' it out Shawn walked over to me and whispered
"Finally now we can go home." I looked at him confused "What?" I pulled him in close
"You can't tell anyone, but I need you to take me to a cemetery." He held the door open for me then punched the coordinates into his GPS.
35 Minutes Later
We pulled into the cemetery after going to a burger drive through on the way. I stepped out of Shawn's jeep as I walked around trying to find the tombstone that I was looking for. Shawn was hot on my tail yet he still had no idea what I was doing.
"Are we here to see your Grandmother?" He asked out of breath since I had been running and he was following me "Wow for a girl who hasn't ran since the 8th grade. You sure have a lot of stamina and endurance." He said between deep breaths
"I thought you were the one who worked out everyday? Aha I found it." I looked over at Shawn who was catching his breath.
He bent down as he read the name on the tombstone aloud:
'Here lies son of Max and Ashley Hamilton. Brother of Kathleen Jonhson. In loving memory of Chad Hamilton.'
He stood up and looked at me as I stared at the grave.
"I thought you didn't want to see your dad's grave. You told your mum that you weren't-" He started as he put his arm around my shoulder
"I know what I said Shawn. But he's my father and this is the only time I could come." I let a tear slip down my face
"Okay just tell me when your ready to go home." He said before giving me some space. I was alone; it was the perfect time to get everything off my chest.
"Look dad I know that you loved me, but you threw your life away. That's why I didn't visit and that's also why never let you visit. I never had the heart to tell the girls about you and I'm gonna be honest I'm kinda ashamed of you." I stopped to catch my breath "You had to get out of prison again just to get drunk! And you killed my best friend! How could you?! Now I have to tell the girls about you. I know I never really told you, but I loved you with all of my heart." I wiped my tears then turned to Shawn and nodded.
I got in his jeep then I noticed that he was at my father's grave.
Shawn's POV
I had to get some stuff off my chest too, so I talked to Sky's dad's grave. "Look sir I know we never met. At least not when you were sober, and I'm sorry that we got in that fight at my prom. I'm sure you were a great father before you had your drinking problem. And I promise you that I will love Skylar and take care of her and our three daughters and I will keep them safe. Nothing will ever harm them as long as I'm breathing. I promise." I turned around to see Sky smiling at me so I went to my jeep.
Sky's POV
I smiled at Shawn from the time he turned around, until he got back in the jeep. His eyes were locked on mine as he smiled at me. God when I look into his eyes I feel like my heart is melting, but in a good way. I wonder if he feels the same. Sometimes I wonder if he really loves me.
