It's You

Twenty-Six

Shawn pressed his lips to hers and kissed her softly. She grabbed the back of his head and pulled him towards her, intensifying the kiss.

He moaned into the kiss as she began fumbling with his belt.

Shawn smiled into the kiss then turned his head to look back over at the door. "Sweetie, we should lock the door."

Camila ignored him as she kissed and nibbled on his neck. "Don't worry."

"It will take two seconds."

She held onto him and kissed him deeply.

Suddenly he felt like he was in his dream, but he was awake. He heard that voice in his head...'Elyas'.

He pulled away and appeared confused.

"Shawn?" Camila asked.

Shawn held his head unable to control his dream playing through his mind. "Am I awake?"

Camila's eyes teared up. She had never seen him like this fully awake. She nodded in response then moved towards him and began rubbing his arm in comfort. "Come sit down my love."

He locked eyes with her. "I love you, Camila."

She smiled as the tears escaped her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. "I love you too. Let me get some help."

He shook his head. "No, please don't leave."

She looked down as he squeezed her hand.

"Elyas." A voice whispered in his head. "You can't swim yet you jumped in."

"He was drowning." Shawn replied to the voice in his head.

Camila knew something was terribly wrong. She lifted her hand and pressed her wrist against his head. "Oh my god, Shawn. You are burning up."

Back at the bar, Raphie stood up and placed some money on the bar.

"Raph?"

He turned to the man and said, "Already underway."

The man placed his hand on Raphie's wrist before he could walk away. "It's the only way."

"I know that, Michael." He said then slipped his hand away. "Doesn't make it any easier."

When he arrived at the back office he saw Camila kneeling beside a very disoriented Shawn. He knocked even though the door was open.

Camila turned. "You can't be back here."

Raphie stepped in anyway. "Don't worry. I am a friend of Shawn's."

"What are you doing?!"

"Shawn? Shawn?" Raphie asked, ignoring her.

Camila was about to call the police when Shawn met his eyes. "Raphie, what is happening to me?"

Raphie knelt beside him and appeared to be checking his features. "Let's get you comfortable." He said then sat Shawn down at one of the office lounge chairs.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Raphael and I am here to help. I promise you, Camila."
