(Quick question: Do you guys actually look up the songs I listen to while writing?)

Shawn's POV

I really don't want to hurt her, I really don't. But it's kind of inevitable. Beth looks at me and brushes her lips against mine, before letting go of my body. She grabs her bra and puts it on underneath the hoodie.

'I need to tell you something.' I grab her hand.

The rubber band holding her hair together snaps and her hair falls down, onto her shoulder. That's a great start... even the rubber band knows what's coming. She looks at me, waiting for me to say something.

'I'm leaving.' I quickly say.

'Cool, where are you going?' She asks with a smile as she takes a bite of a strawberry.

'Canada.' I take a deep breath. 'For the next three weeks... I need to take care of something.'

'I'm a big girl, it's not like I'm going to die while you're in Canada.' She takes this much better than I expected.

'You're not mad?' I'm surprised.

Normally when you leave one day after you had sex with your fresh girlfriend for the first time, that doesn't really sit well with the girls. And I'm leaving for three weeks. How can she not be upset?

Maybe she doesn't like me as much as I thought she did? What if she does like Bakker and she's going to sleep with him while I'm away? No, no, she wouldn't do such a thing.

Elizabeth's POV

I am literally dying inside. The moment Shawn told me he's leaving for three weeks, my heart dropped to the ground. It feels like our relationship just began and he's leaving already? I just try to be cool about it, Zayneb told me that guys don't like clingy girlfriends. If he wants to go to Canada for three weeks, who am I to stop him?

'Bakker said you never skipped one day in the last three years. What about vacation days?'

Oh my god, is he going to ask me to join him on his trip to Canada?

'Yeah, I got three months of vacation saved up over the years.' I laugh.

'Cool, cool.' He responds.

Cool, cool?

'Do you want to go on a road trip with me through Europe when I return from Canada?' He asks with a straight face.

'Yeah sure, I'll have to look through some stuff at work to get that done, but yeah, cool.'

What is with the word "cool" all of a sudden? I am very happy Shawn asked me to go on a road trip with him, even though I'm a little bummed he didn't ask me to come with him to Canada, but that's fine.

I tried my best not to jump from happiness when he asked me on a road trip. I've never been on a road trip!

'What is really on your mind?' He asks, taking a seat across from me.

'You want honesty?' I ask him.

'Always.'

'I think you should go to Canada, I just wonder why you decided to tell me about it now. When are you leaving?'
