broken hearts

Shannon: "You're the one who's beautiful, Sterling," I said, but silently told him I liked his compliment.

Sterling: I smiled at her before kissing her deeply

Shannon: I kissed him back just as deeply, subconsciously restraining myself.

Sterling: as I kiss her I slid my hand up her back

Shannon: I started to think about the 'what if's, but then I thought a moment, and stopped worrying. Those fears would just depress me if I kept thinking about them.

Sterling:" my love everything will be okay" I whisper after pull away from her lips

Shannon: I searched his expression for a second, before saying softly, "I know."

Sterling: " just making sure you know"

Shannon: I kissed him tenderly to show my appreciation, then drew away. I wondered in the back of my mind maybe he pulled away because of my reluctantcy earlier.

Sterling: " are you ready to go back to the others?"

Shannon: I nodded, and half-smiled, "Yeah, I am." I stood up, bringing Sterling with me.

Sterling: once up I grab her hand and started to lead her back to the others

Shannon: I decided I'd tell Sterling all about Blake, but later, when we were home. At least I thought of the building as home now.

Sterling; I warp my arm around her waist as we walk home

Shannon: I smiled slightly, and glanced up at him. I thought and knew that I couldn't find anyone better...that is if I wanted to. (G2G)

Sterling:"I love you Shannon"

Shannon: "I love you too, Sterling," My smile widened just a little as I replied.

Sterling: we got home really fast faster then I thought we would get home

Shannon: I contemplated whether or not to tell Sterling about Blake, again, but I didn't as I walked inside with him. I secretly hoped no one would ask why we left.

Rose:" hey sterling and Shannon are you guys hungry I got take out food for everyone"

Sterling:" I'm a bit hungry"

Shannon: "Yeah, same here." I answered, somehow putting my grief aside. There would be a time for that...after Blake was dead.

Rose: I pass food to sterling and shannon

Shannon: I grabbed a plate, and put some food on it. I wasn't too enthusiastic about eating, but I knew I had to eat a little bit, at least.

Sterling:after I got my food I waited for Shannon before we sat down next each to eat our food

Shannon: I kept myself from picking at the contents on my plate, and ate some of it, about a third. I was secretly thankful that I hadn't seen my parent's ghosts yet, but I still half-expected it.
