Faded

Him

Chapter 3

"Hey you wanna go do something today?" Shawn said through the phone.

"Like what did you have in mind?" I giggled

"I don't know let's go walking or something."

"Ok sounds better than laying at home." I agreed

"Ok I'll be there In 10."

"Alright"

I went up stairs to get dressed. I put on some white and blue splatter painted ripped skinny jeans, with a white see through button up shirt with a blue undershirt. I put on my black and blue vans with one of my favorite bennies. the baby blue printed stars one.

After I was finished I walked down stairs to my mom.

"Mom is it alright if I got out for a couple of hours with Shawn?"

"What are y'all plaining on doing?" she questioned looking up at me with a smile.

"Nothing mom gosh, we're just gonna take a walk that's all." I laughed

"Ahalright but be safe ok." she said standing

"I will I love you mom." I hugged her.

"I love you to and have fun but not to much fun." she laughed returning the hug.

Shawn pulled up in his 2012 Camaro. I walked over to his car and peaked my head through the window.

"Thought we we're gonna go walking?" I chuckled

"We are I just didn't feel like walking all the way down the street" he smiled at his laziness

"Oh wow your suck a baby. Let's go" I said opening his door and taking him out of the car. we walked for about 2 hours then we took a break as we got to the park. we say in the grass looking at the clouds and pointing at the odd shaped ones.

"That one looks like a butt." he laughed

"No no it looks like at bunny you dip" I laughed along at his observation problems.

"Well that one looks like two people holding hands." he said pointing at a cloud and looking at me smiling.

"Yeah I guess it does." I said looking at him. He looked back at the sky and moved his body closer to mine. He finally connected our hands. I looked at him and laughed.

"You know you don't have to laugh I'm trying to be romantic" he laughed.

"Shawn you don't know how to be romantic." I said joking

"Well ok no need to be sentimental or anything" he said sitting up.

"C'mon I'm tired of this grass let's go back to my place I have something for you there." he said grabbing my hand and pulling me down the street all the way to his house.

"Shawn please tell me what it is." I said as we came to a stop at his front door.

"Ok but before you see this I want you to know that if you don't like it than you can hit me but if you do you have to kiss me." he said covering my eyes and guiding me into the living room.

"Shawn" I gasped. the room was in all darkness the only light came from the candles lit in every corner. flower peddles every where and on the coffee table was a vase of a dozen roses and a note. I picked up the note forgetting Shawn was standing in the door way and it read

"Dear Best friend it put this together for you to show you how much I truly care about you. And that if you ever took your own life that I would be nothing. I would have nothing left to fight for. I haven't told you yet but this was the easiest way to tell you. I have been living with a heart condition. the doctor said I might die but if I have to right surgeries that they might could save me. Now the roses in the vase next to you, there are 12 of them take them and keep them safe. watch them and care for them. I want you to understand how hard this is for me but don't think for a second that when and if I die that you have nothing left because you do. Your mom will still be here and she loves you very much. And you'll always have something to remember me because I'll love you till the last rose is dead.

Yours truly, Shawn<3"

I started crying half way through the letter and I fell to my knees in tears. Shawn walked over to me and picked me up. I rapped my legs around his waist and buried my head in his neck and we sat there in each others arms.

"Sh-Shawn I love you so much" I finally managed to say.

"I know you do."
