Downpour - sequel to Dark Storms

[Okay this is getting confusing I'm just saying that Shawn moved closer to her in an apartment with his dad for a little bit because he was close to finishing school and since he's going to be on tour he wouldn't need to be at home that often (kind of like training of being away from home and stuff) so he moved schools and all that jazz with Erika.I know it really doesn't make sense but this is the plot and it is going like that. Kay bye.]

School. Ew. We got off of winter break and we were back at school. I had a doctor's appointment before school so I came in late. When I got in during the bell change I headed to see Shawn, since we both had to go to the guidance office anyways. When I got to his locker, I saw something I'd never see. Shawn being pushed up against his locker by the most popular girl in school. "What the actual fuck?!" Jenni looked at me smirking before pecking my boyfriend on the lips again before walking off, mouthing 'call me'. "Erika-" "Don't." I spoke looking at him and starting to run to the guidance office.

Shawn didn't ever come to the guidance office. I sat in the room crying the whole day. Why? He was kissing her back too. I rushed home and got to my room looking at my walls. I ran out of my room and went to the porch. I sat down in the fresh fallen snow, a jacket loosely around me, my boots snug on my feet. I heard a knock come from the door behind me. "Knock knock knock knock" I ignored it and heard the door open. "Do you wanna build a snowman?" Shawn gently sung. I shook my head no, not looking at him. He walked passed me and headed down to the yard. He started forming letters. "I Love You." I shook my head and walked inside. "Dad can I go to North Carolina?"

I ended up in an airport all by myself in the middle of Toronto in front of a gate destined for North Carolina. My headphones were in and 'Afire Love' started playing. I sighed trying not to think of Shawn. "Erika." God his voice was in my head now. "Erika please." "No." I mumbled. "Erika look at me." I slowly turned my head and Shawn was sitting next to me. "What Shawn. How did you even get here?" "Look, I know you saw what you saw but I can explain." I turned my body to him and crossed my arms waiting for a explaniation. "You probably would kiss someone back if they kissed you, wouldn't you?" I thought back to the time in New York when Cameron had kissed me. I had kissed back. I couldn't really be mad at him I guess. "She caught me off guard and kissed me, just as you walked in. I swear. I'm with you. Only you." He then pulled out his cigarettes and pulled one out. On it 'Only You.' had been written in black Sharpie. "It's a good thing you're cute." I giggled as they called my flight. "Let's go." "Wait you're coming?" "Yeah, I honestly thought it would take forever to get you back so I planned out another way to get you back and it included buying a ticket," I shut him up by kissing him. "You're too much."

Shawn and I headed to North Carolina, somehow getting the woman next to me to swap seats with Shawn for the flight. Maybe the fact he would've been sat in a row by himself appealed to her. Bailey knew I was coming down to visit and had the guest room ready for me. I don't know if she knew Shawn was coming. I'm sure I could share a bed with him. Shawn looked at me and then my hand. My promise ring sat on my finger, silently speaking 'ARENT I PRETTY! DONT FORGET TO LOVE SHAWN BECAUSE HES THE BEST GUY EVER' I mentally giggled at the thought. "Do you think we'll ever get married?" I turned to Shawn and looked at him. "You're really asking me this? Like a serious question?" "Yeah." I smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Yeah I think we will." He took my hand smiling. "And would we have kids future Mrs. Mendes?" "Three." "Three?" "Three. One of each and then random. " "And what shall we name these kids?" "Alexander David Mendes, Jaylynn Harper Mendes, and whatever you choose." "It seems you've thought this out." "Well when you're hanging onto your life you tend to think about what would've happened if you'd lived longer." His smile faltered a bit but it was still there. I put my head on his shoulder and looked at him. "Hey, we don't have to worry about that any more." "Yeah. I'm just going to miss you when I leave." I nodded closing my eyes softly.
