~14~
It was Tuesday. Not a normal day to be honest. I mean, Sam was walking around with a broken nose and a dirty look. No bullying context at all, which was a shocker! But Blaire payed no attention to any of it, she was too concerned about one thing. Shawn.
He wasn't at school, and he hadn't come on Monday either. It was there last week before break and he wasn't attending. What had happened? She didn't know but she wanted to find out. As the school bell rang she was going to march into the office when her phone began to ring.
Confused she took it out of her pocket and saw the caller I.D
Mrs. Denise (Dance)
It was her dance teacher! Blaire dashed outside into an not so busy area and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Lydia Blaire! Today were assembling in the studio, it's a last-minute thing but I have some important news! Would you be able to swing by?"
Blaire raised her eye brows in a bit of shock for they never assembled on weekdays. She was unlocking her bike as she thought about the trip there. It wasn't that far, it was like ten minutes from the café, she could do it!
"Uh yeah, Im on my way right now" Was her response as she hopped on her bike, completely forgetting about Shawn
"Perfect! See you soon!"
Meanwhile things weren't going so perfect at the Mendes house hold... Well, if you could even call it that. What's a house without a happy family? It's nothing. Manny hadn't come back from the hospital and Shawn just sulked around. His mother's funeral was this weekend, and he hadn't heard anything about Aaliyah yet.
He was so scared to walk outside and his house was dark. He had never felt this depressed in his life, there had never been this type of weight on his shoulders. Shawn hadn't moved from the couch since yesterday, all he did was stair at his song book which was alongside his cellphone and a picture of his family when they used to be happy.
There were these words.... These words ringing in his head that he had heard his mother say once.
"You'll never be alone"
But right at this moment he felt extremely alone, not even his cat could help. Suddenly there was a loud ringing noise and light went off which startled him some before his eyes adjusted to the light of the phone.
It was his father, and this made him scared to even pick up the phone. Slowly and shakily he picked it up, knowing he had to answer.
"D-dad?" he asked with a sniffle, wiping his eyes from loose tears
"Son.... Im sorry..." His father's voice trembled
"Dad, what's going on?" Shawn asked, once again panicked by the shaking of his dad's voice
"She's gone Shawn! Gone! Your mother... I cant live with out her. We almost lost Aaliyah too!" his father exclaimed, sobbing in the process
But Shawn simply sat there, his body in complete shock. His hands began to shake and his breathing turned a little uneasy at the reminder that his mother is dead and his sister was unstable. Then he heard something like the sound of cars on the highway and he got this sudden evil thought.
"Dad, where are you?" he asked, looking around him a bit confused, putting on his shoes and walking outside
The sun attacked his eyes just as he suspected but he couldn't help but look down the street to where you could see the highway. Yes, they lived near a highway.
And that's when his suspicions were confirmed. Standing on the bridge from the highway was a figure on the phone, standing right on the very edge
"No no!" Shawn shouted
"I love you, remember that"
And with that the phone hung up and the figure leaned over the edge and fell.....
Shawn watched, lowering his phone, and staring right at where the lifeless body had fallen. He fell to his knees, the darkness and emptiness s in him completely consuming him.
Later that night as he loomed back inside his home, realizing that he had no one left. And that's when his phone lit up. At first, he refused to even look at it, but then it kept lighting back up again and again.
He finally grabbed it, hoping at the most it was his grandmother to get him out of this sorrow filled house but it was someone else.
Cookie: YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY
Cookie: I HAD AN AUDITION ABOUT A WEEK AGO FOR THE NUTCRACKER PERFORMANCE IN THAT BIG FAMOUS THEATER IN TOWN
Cookie: AND I GOT THE PART!
Shawn just stared at the screen and then looked out his window which was semi open. Blaire looked distressed and was running her hand through her hair. She had JUST texted him, what happened?
She picked back up her cellphone and stared at it. Then she did the most shocking thing. She looked up right at Shawn's window, she obviously couldn't look in because of the blinds, but he could see her. Blaire looked sorrow filled and then his phone vibrated one more time.

It was on the news.....
Shawn was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion and threw his phone across the room making it slam against the wall and leaving a dent in it.
"Why?!" he cried, looking up at the ceiling
"Why did this happen to me? To Aaliyah? TO MY FAMILY?" he shouted
Tears streamed down his cheek in waterfalls and he buried his face into a pillow. He cried and cried for hours until night had completely fallen and a light snow began to fall. He felt so cold and alone. And he fell asleep in a restless sleep, clutching one of Aaliyah's old teddy bears.
"Never Be Alone" was the last thing he heard before completely falling out of conscious
