Shawn waited in the hospital waiting room, cant you see him? Probably not. He's hidden, over there in that corner. Ah you wouldn't know, you don't hide the way he does. Because right now, hes crying, his face is red and stained, his eyes are puffy and his body is tired. Aaliyah was currently in life saving surgery and his mother... His mothers body was being identified by his father.

He wasn't ready for this, for none of this. It was all so sudden. Shawn looked up for he heard footsteps coming down the hall. But it wasn't anyone he knew, just someone he wished he could kill. A man with a cast and a black eye came walking down, just dismissed from the hospital. HE was the man responsible for his sorrow.

He was the recklace man in the truck that smashed into his mother and sister. He was the one to blame for his mothers death and the pain his sister was going through. Shawns sorrow and anger filled eyes met his cold and dark ones as he walked by. They had a silent conversation that seemed to exchange threats of some sort.

An extra pair of shoes came down the hall which made Shawn break the eye contact and shoot up from his spot on the floor. It was his fathers who was wiping away tears.

"Dad" Shawn said in almost a cracked whisper as his father hugged him tight

"Shawn.. She-she may not make it" he stuttered before placing his hands on his sons shoulders and looking into his eyes 

"Go home, you need some rest"

Shawn looked at his father in disbelief. Why would he go home now? He had to be with his family at this time. But his fathers mind was set fore he put the keys to his Jeep and put them in his hand.

"Keep it. Now go" he commanded

Shawn realized there was no use in fighting him, he might as well just go home. So he carried his heavy body to the car, the frosty cold not helping his cold mood. He drove home and pulled himself inside before laying down in his bed. His house was so cold and empty.

Aaliyahs giggles could be heard in the distance, the sound of the MLP theme song playing. The smell of chocolate chip muffins hitting his nose and his mothers voice singing her favorite song as she cooked. The T.V. sounds could be heard playing his fathers favorite movie and scratching sounds from the Cat post could be heard also.

Shawn closed his eyes and took in the sounds and warmth like before. But it was all interrupted and replaced with cold darkness. There was some loud noises outside like laughing. Shawn rolled out of his now uncomftrable bed and looked out the window.

Outside Blaire was jumping onto the same guy he had seen that day at the cafe's back, still wearing the jacket he had given her. They loaded into a car and left. Man she looked so happy, even when she wasn't. Shawn envied that, he could never pull something like that off.

What he felt always rose to the surface, and that was that. He felt like his whole world was crumbling down. Everything iin him was officially a dark and empty void. He felt his phone vibrate and looked down to see a text

Cookie <3: Heading off to my dads house, we'll be going camping so I wont have cell service, I'll text you when I get back! XX

Shawn felt like smiling. She had gone out of her way to text him, but a smile didn't rise to the surface. Because that was the opposite of what he felt. He didn't feel happy, he felt tired and alone.

So he tossed his phone on the desk to charge and went downstairs where he found some sleeping medicine and took it. He went up to his room and threw himself onto the bed where he fell into a deep sleep.

And he honestly wished he would never wake up.
