"You'll meet me at Tiffany's right?" Tessa enquiries as she shuffles around the room looking for the perfect dress to wear.

"But why?" Shawn groans as he ruffles his hair and looks at himself in the mirror.

"I have a surprise for you, like actually a surprise" she says excitedly and runs around the room and trips over her straighteners' cord.

"Are you okay? What happened love?" Shawn asks concerned.

"Nothing, I was just trying to hug the floor" she says slowly helping herself get up.

"Tessa" Shawn warns.

"I tripped over a cord and fell down Shawniee" she coos and Shawn returns a giggle.

"Ok then, this better be good" he asks through his cellphone.

"Tiffany's at seven" she smiles before hanging up on him.

Today, was going to Tessa Gray's best day. Yesterday changed her life, she found her brother's wife and the last thing Hugh wanted to give her.

But one question never left her mind, why were everyone around her a member of The Black Circle. It was all overwhelming trying to draw connections with what really happened with her family and the blacks.

Soon seven pm arrived at Tessa had never been more enthusiastic about meeting someone.

"Shawn" she waves at her boyfriend sitting across the diner.

"You're late!" He says agitated.

"I'm sorry I-" she tries to inform before she is cut off.

"What is it you wanted to tell me?" Shawn asks with a pleasant smile.

"I uh- please don't get mad at me or..." She says gulping.

"Tessa, depends it really depends upon what you were upto" he sighs not losing eye contact with his brown eyed girl-friend.

"Okay... I" Tessa says lifting up her hoodie's sleeve and clearly showing her equality tattoo all the members of The Black Circle had. It was two days ago that she made this decision. She sat in her room thinking about why she wanted to do this and the only people flashing over her brain were.

Shawn and Hugh.

She loved them both, as for Hugh she always loved him. But Shawn? She had never felt soo in love with anyone before she wanted to do this, atleast after what Neil told her, that only blacks fall in love with other blacks.

"What is that?" Shawn questions shivering.

"I told you not to get mad, I got it yesterday" she weakly smiles.

"Tessa Gray! Didn't you feel like asking me once before you did shit like that?" He bangs his hands on the table gathering everyone's attention, not intentionally. People begin to gasp at the sight of Tessa's arms.

Everyone knew who Tessa Gray was, she was the daughter of one of the most reputable people in the town and was the talk of the town when her brother died. She was going to be one again.

"Stop yelling, I can explain" she softly whispers grabbing Shawn's arm and walks out of the diner.

"Explain what Tessa? Explain why you joined The Black Circle" he questions with disbelief.

"Because I love you" she chokes and Shawn shakes his head.

"Yes Tessa, but you know being a black means being able to die any second? Do you know how much of a risk that is?" Shawn stutters as he tries to breathe calmly.

"Shawn Mendes, this is for you haven't you heard only a black can be with a black?" She asks as tears brimm her eyes.

"I know all that Tess, why aren't you understanding...this on your hand? It's irreversible" he informs holding her hand up in the air. "How did Timothy agree on this?" He questions.

"He was actually pleased with my decision, but Neil? Not soo !uch" she goes her head down.

"Timothy was pleased? This is unbelievable Tessa I'm- I'm afraid you'll end up hurt and I'm not ready to lose you" he looks at her eyes.

"Shawn, I love you" Tessa nods while sniffing away her tears.

Shawn opens his mouth to reply, when a gun shot is heard. Tessa's eyes widen and she looks down at herself.

No bloodstain.

She looks at Shawn who was clutching his waist and blood oozing out of it,she looks around and spots no one.

"No no no" she panics as she looks for her phone. "Stay with me, I'm going to call 911" she nods.

"They're not going to help me Tessa, they're practically waiting for me to die" Shawn says as he battles death.

"What do I do, what do I do?" She questions herself as tears stream down uncontrollably from her eyes. "Can you please walk upto your car?" She strokes Shawn's cheek and he softly nods.

"Thank you" she says helping him get up.

The rain increases as she struggles to push Shawn into his black jeep, after much blood loss, Shawn's breathing rate begins to fluctuate as Tessa begins to panic more and more.

Much to her dismay, on her path to the hospital there were four cars waiting for her already. She doesn't waste a second and gets off Shawn's jeep.

"Hello love" Blake smirks.

"You shot him? You shot him!" She yells.

"Ofcourse" he says walking closer to Tessa.

"Let me go" she hisses and Blake laughs.

"You think, I'd take soo much toruble to just let you go?" He snorts and Tessa looks at him and back at Shawn in the heavy rains with her hair, clothes and makeup drenching.

"Please let me go Blake, for Hugh's sake" she cries uncontrollably hoping he'd let her go.

"Ok I'll let you go" he waved his hand and Tessa turns around to hop back into the jeep when her head is met by a strong stick and that was the last she remembered, before she backed out.

"Push her to the side, grab Shawn I'll teach him a lesson" Blake smirks his favourite smile as he watches Tessa being dragged to the side of the road and a lifeless Shawn being picketed from his own jeep.

Welcome to hell.
