broken hearts

Shannon: "Yeah, I do." I answered, but I glanced at Valiantly since I didn't know if she was ready yet.

Valiantly:" I'm ready too so lead the way guys"

Shannon: I led both of them back to my apartment, now feeling a little tired. After that weird encounter at the bar...I'd probably sleep longer than usual.

Sterling: I could tell she was kind of tried as I warp my arm around her

Shannon: I glanced up at Sterling for a second. Thankfully, we returned to my apartment sooner than I expected, and once we were inside, I headed toward the bathroom, and looked through the medicine cabinet. I really needed an aspirin or two. Once I found them, I dry-swallowed two of them. I looked in the mirror, noticing my bruises were darker. I grimaced before I went back into the living room.

Sterling: I was sitting on the couch when Shannon came back in the living room

Shannon: I went, and sat next down to Sterling, feeling a bit, not self-conscious, but nervous. I wasn't really sure how to explain what had happened earlier, or rather, I didn't really want to. I just wanted to forget about it because I couldn't understand the reason behind it.

Sterling:" can you explain to me what happen to you Shannon?" I said to her

Shannon: I sighed before I started to explain as best as I could, "Well, when I was in the restroom, I saw like a shadow figure behind me through the mirror...and I don't remember what happened after that, but it seems obvious now." I trailed off, motioning to the bruises on my neck, and I lifted my shirt so Sterling could see the teeth marks on my side. "I don't even know what that thing was. I've never seen anything like it before, and I hope I don't again."

Sterling;" I hope that too I don't to see you hurt Shannon"

Shannon: 'Like I haven't been hurt before.' I thought grimly, remembering what both Kyle and Blake had done to me before I ran away. But, they were only memories now, etched into my mind. I wrapped my arms around Sterling's torso because I wasn't too sure how to reply.

Sterling:" I love you Shannon and you don't deserve any more hurt"

Shannon: I looked up at him, telling without words that I loved him, and that I knew he wouldn't do anything that could hurt me, if that's what he meant.

Sterling: I lean down to her lips to kiss her lips softly

Shannon: I kissed him back as softly. He did so much for me. I appreciated all the little things he had done too.

Sterling: after a bit i pull back and said " I bet your tried Shannon after what a day we had today"

Shannon: I nodded slightly with a hint of a smile on my lips, trying to lighten the subject. "Aren't you?"

Sterling:" yeah I am tried so let's go sleep"

Shannon: I took his hand before I went into m...our room, I guess it was now. I laid down on the bed, too tired to do anything about my clothes.

Sterling: I just took off my shirt before joining Shannon on the bed

Shannon: Once Sterling was next to me, I wrapped my arms loosely around his torso, and rested my head on his chest. I just felt like I needed to be close to him, after the fire and all.

Sterling: I warp an arm around Shannon "good night Shannon"

Shannon: "Good night, Sterling." I muttered in reply before I fell asleep.

Sterling: I fell asleep after Shannon fell asleep

Shannon: I only woke up when I noticed the sun shining right in my eye. I quietly got up, and shut the blinds. My neck was still sore as I went, and took a couple more pain pills before I returned to the bed, careful not to wake Sterling. Or try to, anyway.
