broken hearts

Sterling: I warp an arm around her as I relax more

Shannon: I rested my head on his chest, "Goodnight, Sterling." I whispered before I closed my eyes.

Sterling: " good night my love" I whisper as she fell asleep then I shorty fell asleep too

Shannon: The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I gazed up at Sterling, and realized I probably couldn't get out of bed without waking him.

Sterling: while sleeping I curl up more against Shannon

Shannon: I smiled slightly, and decided it wouldn't be too bad to stay like this for awhile. But...I had something to do. I moved a little to try to get out of his arms, unsuccessfully so far.

Sterling: i woke up I look at Shannon sleepily " need to go somewhere?"

Shannon: Sterling surprised me a little bit, and I smiled apologetically for waking him up, "Yeah, I do, actually. I was hoping to get some errands done today." I half-lied. I didn't want to tell him exactly where I was going, since I wanted to go alone. I had to go get flowers for my parents' graves, and I had planned on visiting the cemetery today.

Sterling:" okay do you want me come with you?"

Shannon: I mentally sighed, "Well, I'm planning on going to the cemetery, and I doubt you'll want to come with." I explained softly.

Sterling: I sat up and look at her " of course I want to go with you Shannon "

Shannon: I looked back at him a moment before getting up, "All right then, Sterling," I put on my motorcycle jacket, and slipped some low-heel boots on.

Sterling: I just toss on some comfort clothes on when I got out of bed

Shannon: "You ready? Or do you want to eat something first?" I asked, glancing at him.

Sterling:" I'm ready Shannon lead the way my love"

Shannon: I smiled softly, and grabbed his hand as I led him out of the building. From there, I led him to one of the shops to get some flowers. Red roses. My parents deserved the best that I could give them, even when they aren't living. After paying for the roses, I made the long walk to the cemetery, now glad that Sterling came with.

Sterling: I follow her and kept holding her hand

Shannon: Once we were finally there, I led the way to my parents' gravesite. I let go of Sterling's hand as I kneeled down, and brushed the leaves off the tombstone before I set the roses in between both of their names. "Hey, Mom, Dad, I'm sorry I hadn't visited you until now." I whispered, not knowing if their ghosts were around to hear me. Somehow, I almost starting in German, since my parents both spoke it fluently. "I just came to say that I love you both very much." I finished before I stood up slowly, brushing the dirt off my jeans. I didn't know what else to tell them.

Sterling: I put my arms around her after she got up

Shannon: I glanced back at him, and placed my hands on top of his. 'And I wish that you could've met the wonderful guy I found.' I added in my head.

Sterling: I kept my arms tightly around her as I rest my head on her shoulder

Shannon: I just stayed in his arms for who know's how long, staring almost blankly at the graves in front of me before I spoke softly, "We should get back, huh?"

Sterling:" we can go if you want to Shannon"

Shannon: "Okay." I then silently said goodbye to my parents with one last look before I released myself from Sterling's embrace, but kept his hand in mine as I led him out of the cemetery.

Sterling: I follow Shannon out graveyard holding her hand tightly in mine
