Jackson  drops me off at the hotel and I hesitate before getting out of the car. "Are you going to be okay?" He asks me.

"Yeah I'll be fine." I say and weakly smile. I get out of the car and go inside taking the elevator up to the hotel room.

I unlock it and see Shawn sitting at the desk with his phone in his hand. "Shawn." I say and he turns around and shoots up from his seat.

"Rose I-" "Stop." I say and he stops talking. "You didn't trust me. You assumed I slept with Jackson and you hit him and shoved me to the ground." I say.

"I feel awful I really do and I do trust you. I just got scared." He says and I shake my head. "That's not an excuse for the way you acted Shawn." I say.

"What was I supposed to do? You're my girlfriend!" He say sightly raising his voice.

"You sure as hell don't go beating people up! First you try and control who I hang out with and then you go and punch my friend when he did absolutely nothing wrong!" I shout.

"I said I was sorry!" "Well sorry just isn't cutting it anymore! What's gonna happen if you do something like this again?" I ask.

"I won't!" He yells. "How do I know that? How do I know that we will always be together huh?" I say and I'm so mad about everything.

"What are you even saying?!" He says and I walk and shove him. "Hey!" He says and grabs my hands against his chest.

I look at him and shake my head. "This is so stupid." I say and then he crashes his lips against mine.

He turns and I fall against the bed with a light thud. He begins to violently kiss all over my neck and I wrap my arms and legs around him. 

He reaches down for my pants and then I can't hold it in anymore. "I can't." I say and start crying. Shawn looks at me in shock and backs up.

"What's wrong?" He asks and I sit up. "My parents are getting a divorce!" I say and continue to cry.

"Oh God." Shawn says and comes and hugs me. "It's going to be okay." He says and I shove him away. "No! Eveyone keeps saying that but how is any of it okay?" I say and stand up.

"Twenty six years of marriage and then they just decide to divorce each other?" I say and wipe my cheeks if tears.

"Maybe they just didn't love each other anymore." He says. "That's exactly what wrong. If it happens to them who's to say that won't happen to us?" I say and Shawn pauses and doesn't say anything.

"Shawn I don't think I can handle that." I say. "So what do we do?" He asks me. "I don't know, but there are just to many things going on with me right now and I really can't handle a broken heart on top of it all." I say.

"So should we take a break?" He asks me and I sigh and look at the wall for a moment. "Maybe. I think it's for the best though. For you and for me." I say and he nods.

"Yeah." He says and I go closer to him. "I still love you. You'll always have a special place in my heart." I say and kiss his lips one last time.

"So what now?" He asks me. "I uh-I go home I guess." I say. "No I don't want you to have to leave because of this." He says. "I don't want to leave because I really do like hanging out with you and eveyone. There's no reason why we can't be friends right?" I say.

"Right." He says. "So I guess I'll just get a separate room. I'll stay with Geoff until then though." I say and Shawn nods.

"I'll help you get your things." He says.

"So let me get this straight. You two broke up and decided to just be friends?" Geoff asks me and Shawn as we move my things to his room.

"Yup." Shawn says. "And you both are just okay with it?" Geoff asks. "Yup." I say and set my last bag down.

"Okay?" Geoff says. "Well I'll be in my room." Shawn says and leaves. As soon as the door to the hotel room shuts Geoff turns to me and looks at me as if he's expecting something.

"What?" I ask. "You don't need to cry or something?" He asks me. "Nope." I say and he looks at me weird. "Okay." He says and gives me a worried look.

I really am fine. Or at least I will be.

Do you think Rose is really fine?
