Silent rebels

31. Bear hugs

With a heavy heart I entered the Sabies door. I walked in turning back to the door,closing it.

Taking a deep breath I turned around. I saw no one and I felt a sense of relief.

Since that night three days ago me and Shawn managed to avoid each other,or he did anyways. I didn't try. I wanted to talk to him but I'm not gone do something he clearly doesn't want to.

I begin to walk to my table or the training table which has been mine for four days but some movement in the far back corner detracted me.

It was in the gym. It was Shawn.
I wanted to turn around and leave but I know we would have to face each other some time. It's here or at home for the next week.

I slowly began to walk to the glass. Stopping in front if it. I can see me breath drawing swirls on the glass.

I look up at Shawn. He's has been at this for a while, I could tell by the sweat on his back. The way his chest fell up and down. His veins in his arms and neck.

He looked frustrated. He kept on hitting the punching bag like trying to onload. His muscles in his back is working hard. The pattern of the lines change with every impulse and every time he pulls back to shot forward.

Someone touches my shoulder,making me jump a little. I turn around and see Shadow. His grey eyes almost blue.

"You know this is hard for him." He said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

I just shake my head not understanding. I look back at Shadow for an explanation.

"He has loved and he have lost. And the one thing separating that is fear. The fear of losing someone he loves" he looked at me for another second then he turned around and walk away.

I turn back only to meet Shawn's eyes. They look tired but scenic at the same time.

He turns that his hold body is facing me,capturing me with his gaze.

I walk slowly to the door and into the other room.

We met each other half way. Not breaking eye contact once.

"Shawn..."

He didn't listen to me nor did he answer me. He rapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug. One of those hugs like a child holding his teadybear when they are scared.
