She was about to knock on the door before she remembered she had the key right in her hand.

"Payback time Shawny boy" she grinned to herself before sticking the key into the lock and pulling it out, her only reply was the green light blinking twice as she turned the door open.

"Honey I'm home!"

And as the door flung open and she saw Shawn laying down across his bed completely passed out.

It took all of Delilah not to burst out laughing at the boy in front of her. She decided that instead of waking him up, she would join him as he laid there on his bed, mouth hung wide open and his guitar resting over his legs. It was definitely a sight for sore eyes, and Delilah took a quick picture before jumping on the bed next to him. She snuggled up close and felt Shawn's arm unconsiously squeeze her closer to him. 

And finally she slept, and for the first time in a long time, Delilah was at peace.

"Morning Lila" 

Delilah opened her eyes groggily, and looked up at the throaty voice that woke her up. She squinted at him before closing her eyes once more and snuggled back into his arms. 

Shawn laughed at her, obviously amused at how comfortable she was around him, "Oh come on Del, I haven't seen you in months, and when I finally do, you're sleeping!"

Shawn poked her cheek, and at her frown he began to outline the curve of her lips, "Please wake up I missed you baby" he mumbled softly. Delilah couldn't help but open her eyes and watch him smile at her in way she just couldn't describe. 

She was utterly, and undeniably, in love with the boy laying next to her.

"You've never called me baby before" Delilah spoke up in surprise as her lips turned upwards against Shawn's finger. 

"It's a little strange-I just wanted to try it out you know" 

"I like it"

Shawn only smiled wider at her words, and Delilah finally saw the dimples she hadn't seen in such a long time. Poking one of them, she began to outline his face just like what he was doing, trying to remember every crease and curve of him. She didn't know when she would see him again.

He watched her close her eyes, and even with her tangled morning hair, and the slight darkness under her eyes, Shawn thought she looked like an angel. And in a way Delilah had been his angel, she helped him laugh more, and feel normal after such a long time. 

Shawn never wanted to let go of her, and for just a split moment, he wished they were two normal teenagers. 

"Lets just stay here forever" 

"Forever"
