We all have secrets

"Shay?" Says Dawson 
"Ya, what's up?" Says Shay as she brushes her wet hair. Dawson takes a deep breath in and finally confesses her deep dark secret she's had for years. 
"I love you." Dawson can't even look up. She just looks down at the sink. Her face burning and her heart pounding. If she was hooked up to a 
heart monitor right now shed probably break it. 
"That's sweet Gabs! I love you too!" Says Shay not giving it a second thought. When she reached for her hairband though she say the expression on her partners face. 
"Gabby what's wrong?" Asks Shay concerned. 
"I don't just love you Shay. I'm in love with you." Dawson begins to cry so scared of what will come next. She thought she always loved Casey but it's just nothing compared to Shay. 
"Gabriella. Look at me."
