Standing in his bathroom wearing nothing more than a pair of dark blue, form fitting jeans and a quiffy new hair-do courtesy of his own personal barber- Justin, Shawn glanced at his reflection once more and then headed down the small hallway to his bedroom.
The change in hair style may not have been planned but smiling to himself, he had to admit he was quickly growing to like it
Today had been one of the most horrendous days he'd ever endured and although it had to happen, nothing had prepared him for the devastation he had caused to Hailey.
Every time he closed his eyes he saw hers. The tearful blues pleading with him, begging him, the confusion that swam in them had reminded him of his own eyes those days following Camilas letter. He found it difficult to believe that after being on the receiving end of that kind of pain he could so quickly be the cause of it, but it was done now and it was time for him to move on to the final confrontation of the day.
Feeling guilt tugging at his heart Shawn had to admit that he also felt as though a weight had been lifted off him following his discussion with Hailey and although she probably hated him right now he was sure that in time she would see that he'd done it with the best intentions. He wanted her to be happy, and she would never be happy with him because he would never be happy without Camila
Reaching into his wardrobe he pulled out what felt right… a simple white shirt. Pulling it on and beginning to fasten the buttons, Shawn couldn't help but be drawn into the past
All of his memories were tainted with her… every time he had needed her she had been there, every time he had doubted himself she knew exactly what to say to lift him up and every time he had triumphed there had been only one person he had sought out
How things had become so wretched between them he had no idea, all he knew was there was only one person he wanted to see tonight, there was one conversation too important to leave unfinished.
Leaving the top three buttons of his shirt undone and rolling up his sleeves, Shawn splashed himself with cologne, picked up his car keys and headed for the Coral Gables Hotel
CORAL GABLES HOTEL
Standing before the slightly open door, Hailey wiped her tear stained face and prepared for a showdown with the women who had stolen everything that meant anything to her
Sure, things with Shawn hadn't been perfect but they could have worked everything out if she hadn't come back and ruined everything, with her big sad eyes and childlike pout just pulling Shawn in, tricking and teasing him to go back to her
Running her hand over her face, Hailey was sure she looked horrendous, just as sure as she was that Camila would look as fresh and gorgeous as ever, where as in the past she may have been jealous, all she felt now was the need to vent all of her fury, hurt and humiliation at the one person she knew was responsible for it
Deciding against the polite approach, Hailey simply pushed the door open and prepared to start yelling, but was surprised by the sight of Camila sitting on her bed in track pants and an over sized sweater, with clothes strewn all around her and a desolate look on her face as she stared at the floor
"You're leaving" It was a statement rather than a question and slowly Camila turned to face her as if moving in slow motion. The tracks of her tears were as obvious as Haileys own
