The Tour |Book Two|

Chapter Twenty Nine

Kaitlyn's POV

Everyone was done opening gifts. We were sitting around a table. It was still pretty early in the morning. My stomach still wasn't feeling good. Shawn was rubbing my back. I was fine as long as I was eating small bites of food constantly. I felt the need to use the bathroom.

"I've gotta pee," I told Shawn. He nodded. When I stood up I became nauseous and I felt my throat get tight. My mouth filled with saliva. I launched myself towards the sink and started throwing up. After through up, I kept dry heaving. Shawn was right next to me. He placed a hand on my back. I could tell that he was confused and concerned. I was too. I hadn't thrown up since before I could remember. When I was done throwing up, Karen took me to the bathroom to clean up.

"When you're done in the bathroom do you want to go home?" I nodded. She kissed my forehead.

"Okay. I'll tell Shawn. You worry about cleaning yourself up."

When I got out of the shower, Shawn was standing by the door. He escorted me out to the car and we drove back to my parents' house. My mom rushed over to me.

"Karen called, are you okay, what happened?"

"I only threw up..."

"You only threw up? You do understand that Angels and Vampires don't only throw up."

"But wolves do," Shawn said. My mom glanced at him but turned back to me.

"Go rest."

My mom walked into the kitchen. I walked over to the couches. Louis was sitting on one of the couches. He gave me a small, uncomfortable smile. Shawn sat down and I cuddled up next to him. I closed my eyes and put my head down on his chest. I almost fell asleep but then my mom came into the room.

"Do you know what's wrong with me?"

"Nothing is wrong with you. You are just...," She paused. Jessica called, so I answered it.

"Kaitlyn, Luke is moving to LA and my apartment is here and I don't want to be here alone and I have to give a two weeks notice before I move and I won't have the money to pay for anything around where Luke is moving and I feel like if we don't like close to each other then we're going to grow apart and I don't want that and-"

"Okay. Slow down, Love," I said slowly. "Why don't you move in with him?"

"I can't do that," Jessica said shakily.

"Okay, lets set some things straight. How in the world could you and Luke grow apart, you guys are amazing together."

"I don't know, it's just anxiety I guess."

"Okay. Now... when is Luke moving?" I looked at Shawn, who was giving me a worried face.

"Uhm...a little less than a week."

"You should stay with Len. Or even Shanna. I could go out there once you're there and help you find a place."

"But I don't have the money to move. And what about the time that I'm alone?"

"Don't worry about the money. And while you're alone you and Luke can FaceTime and if you ever need anything, my mom, dad, Louis and myself can all be there in an instant. It will be okay." I heard her take a deep breath. "Now stop worrying and go hang out with your boyfriend," I ordered. She chuckled.

"Thanks."

"It's my pleasure, Jessie."

We hung up.

I laid back against Shawn again. My mom sighed and walked away.

I gasped, sitting up. "Louis," I exclaimed. Louis had a surprised look on his face. "I learned a song on the guitar for you." He smiled. I ran over and grabbed my guitar. I sat on the couch and started to play How To Save A Life by The Fray. A smile appeared on his face.

"Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life."

When the song ended I set the guitar down. Louis was wiping tears out of his eyes. I looked over at Shawn who looked like he was about to cry as well. Louis stood up and pulled me into a hug. I laughed and hugged him back. I went over to sit next to Shawn.

"Are you warm?" Shawn asked me. I gave him a weird look.

"No, why?"

"You're face is kind of oily looking."

"Well that's a real confidence booster."

"Sorry." Shawn blushed.

"I need to go to the restroom."

When I got back from the bathroom they had started watching Star Wars Episode III. I sat on the couch and started watching it with them. My eyes slowly fluttered closed.

I was awoken by a loud noise. It was the movie. Shawn was laughing at me.

"Did you fall asleep?" I nodded, rubbing my eyes. "Do you want to go lay down? I've never known you to fall asleep during Star Wars."

"No, I'm good." Shawn kissed my temple and I continued watching the movie.
