Brooklyn

Confusion took over his face as he moved closer to me.

"Do what?" He whispered.

"My life." I whispered.

"Brooke..." He trailed off.

"I'm serious I mean it's always going to be like this. It never stops Cam."

"It will one day Brooke I promise."

"You can't say that for sure." I whimpered as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"I mean my mom, Leo, now this, and-" I stopped.

"And what?" He asked.

"Nothing." I whispered looking down.

Just then the door knob jiggled.

I looked at Cam with tear filled eyes and nodded wiping them away.

He strutted to the door unlocking it.

In flew Chloe, who had clearly had her ear pressed up against the door.

"Nice Chlo." I whispered. "Subtle."

"I know." She smiled, pizza peeking out of her mouth.

She took another bite as she got in bed next to me.

"Jesus Chlo!" I complained.

"Sorry." She kissed my cheek.

"I think I'm gonna get going." Cam said.

He stood up and walked over to my bed.

He kissed my forehead and ran his fingers through my hair one last time.

"I'll text you." He said.

"Okay." I smiled.

He walked out closing the door behind him.

"Did you tell him?" She asked smiling.

"No." I shook my head.

"Damn you Brooklyn Sanders."

I smirked pressing the button to move the bed back.

"Oh sorry did I interrupt something?" Shawn asked walking in.

I giggled sitting up.

Chloe stayed back.

"So whatcha bring me?" I asked.

He pulled out a toothbrush and toothpaste.

"Yesssss." I replied. "What else?"

He pulled out a hair brush and a straightener.

"Ooh Chloe you can straighten my hair now!" I exclaimed.

She sat up abruptly. "Joy! Thanks Shawn!"

"Your welcome." He smirked.

"What else?" I asked. My eyes were captivated by his hands as they moved to the bag to pull out the next item that was bound to make my stay here more enjoyable.

A phone charger.

I smiled. "Can you plug it in for me?" I asked.

"Of course." He smiled.

He plugged it into the wall and sent it on the table.

I admired him as he walked back over to the bag to pull out the next item.

"I've gotta pee." Chloe stated standing up.

"Okay. Thanks."

"Your welcome!" She exclaimed walking to the bathroom.

I looked back to Shawn and watched as he pulled out a pair of sweatpants of mine.

"Finally!" I exclaimed. "I hate that my ass hangs out of the back of this."

He chuckled.

"Did you grab-"

I looked down not wanting to ask.

"Underwear?" He chuckled as I looked down blushing.

"Yeah." He smirked grabbing a pair out of the bag and throwing them at me.

I mumbled a thanks as he was about to pull out the next item.

He pulled out some of my favorite movies, some headphones, and even my favorite blanket and stuffed animal.

Then he got to the last item.

"Okay last one."

He smiled.

Then he pulled out the all too familiar Maroon obey hoodie.

The one that was now so much more than a hoodie.

The one he gave to me as a symbol of our growing love.

The one I gave back as a symbol that it was ending.

"Shawn..." I trailed off.

Just then a nurse walked in at the exact moment Chloe walked in.

"Sorry kids but visiting hours are over only one of you can stay the night."

"That'd be me!" Chloe exclaimed jumping up and walking to my bedside.

"Okay." The nurse smiled walking out.

"Chloe can I talk to you for a minute?" Shawn mumbled.

"Sure." She smiled kissing my forehead walking with Shawn to the door and out.

"I'll be right back." She said.

Shawn

I walked with Chloe out the door.

"I want to stay the night." I stated.

"Why?" She asked.

"I just want to hang out with her. I haven't seen her in a while because of tour and you know..." I trailed off rubbing the back of my neck.

She smiled.

Then she reached into her pocket and pulled out something.

Brooke's promise ring I have her.

She pried my fingers open and placed the ring inside my hand.

I closed my hand around the sterling silver band and closed my eyes.

"Go get her tiger." She whispered.

I smirked as she strutted away and I place my hand on the doorknob and opened it.

"Hey Chlo."

A shirtless Brooke, with the exception of a bandeau bra walked out of the bathroom.

"Oh my god Shawn!" She exclaimed.

Her cheeks immediately flushed pink and she turned around.

"Where's Chloe?" Her voice spoke up.

"She left can I help you?" I asked walking towards her.

"I just um.." She looked around.

"I uh..."

"What?" I asked walking towards her.

"I can't get dressed." She still wouldn't look at me. "God when did I become such a child." She whimpered.

"When you got in a car accident." I replied.

I grabbed my sweatshirt from the bathroom sink and walked up behind her placing it over her head and then placing her arms through.

She turned around looking me up and down.

"Thanks Shawn." She smiled.

She walked over to the bed and laid down on top of the sheets and hooking her iv back up.

"So why'd Chloe leave?" She asked.

"Uh she had some family stuff. Guess your stuck with me." I smirked rubbing the back of my neck.

She smiled.

"I could live with that." She a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

"Me too."

I mumbled getting closer.

I walked over to the side of her bed and pressed my lips to hers.

She sighed against my own.

She leaned back and worry took over her face.

At that exact moment the heart monitor began going speeding up.

"Brooke are you okay?"

"Something doesn't feel right."

Faster.

"Shawn.." Worry completely covered her face as she turned to me and grabbed her chest.

Tears began to cover her eyes.

I immediately ran out and into the hall.

"Someone help!" I yelled. "We need help!"

Several people came running into her room they unplugged her and wheeled her out before I could even speak a word.

This is all my fault.
