it breaks your will
it feels like that"

"Jules, sweetheart." Shawn looked over at her. She sighed and began picking at the fabric of her t shirt. They were laying in their bed together. It was late at night but neither Shawn or Juliet thought they would sleep anyway.
"It's okay to cry." He wiped away his own unexpected tears and pulled Juliet up against his body.
"I just..." She began. Juliet never finished, as she broke down in sobs quickly. Shawn held on tighter and tried to stifle more tears but failed. He ended up burying his face in her hair and taking in her scent.
"I'm so sorry Jules."
"Why? I could have jumped in front of him-" Juliet's voice wavered as an image of Lassiter lying pale on the ground entered her mind.
"No! Don't say that." Shawn pleaded.
"I was right there Shawn. I could have tried harder to save him!"
"You did everything you could and I'm proud of you for that. Carlton would never have wanted you to take..." Shawn paused and took a deep breath. "the bullet for him." He finished.

"You think you're lost
but you're not lost
on your own
you're not alone"

PSYCH
Shawn wiped away Juliet's tears.
"I know this is hard for you. It's hard for me too, even though Lassiter and I weren't exactly close. But I'm here for you Jules, and I won't ever leave you."
Juliet didn't respond, only snuggled farther into Shawn's side. He wrapped his arms tight around her and pressed his lips to her temple.
"I love you Jules." Shawn whispered into her ears.
"I'll never leave." He repeated, whispering into Juliet's ear. Shawn felt her relax a little into his arms as tears began soaking through his shirt.
"You're never alone." Shawn kept reassuring Juliet.
Suddenly her eyes opened wide, filled with fear. Juliet's voice quavered with unshed tears as she began.
"I lost Carlton so quickly Shawn! I could lose you like that too!"
Shawn didn't know how to respond.
"I'll always love you." He told her a few minutes later.
PSYCH
"I will stand by you
I will help you through
when you've done all you can do
and you can't cope"

PSYCH
Shawn continued on.
"I will help you through this baby. That's what we need to do. That's why I'm here, and why I'll always be here." Juliet tried to smile but failed.
"I didn't tell anybody yet." She whispered through her tears.
"What?" Shawn asked.
"Carlton..." Juliet's body was raked with sobs. He patiently waited for her to keep going.
"Carlton took the bullet for me!" She yelled out.
'Thank you so much.' Shawn thought, squeezing his eyes shut.
"It should have been me."
"No, it shouldn't have. Why do you think he took it if he thought you should be the one?"
"Carlton was my partner. He had to." Juliet whispered. Shawn placed a finger under her chin and tilted it up to look at him. Tears rolled down, wetting it.
"No he didn't Jules. And I'm very thankful he was brave enough to."
PSYCH
"I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
and I won't let go"
(Rascal Flatts' lyrics)
PSYCH
Juliet looked down at the sheets again and began crying harder. Shawn wiped her eyes, hugging her to his body.
"I will always be here for you, no matter what you need Jules."
Shawn began rubbing circles on her back, feeling relieved as Juliet's breathing slowed. He dried any tears remaining on her cheeks and looked upward. Shawn finally spoke his mind out loud.
"Thanks Carlton.." He felt a little uncomfortable calling Lassiter by his first name but at the same time it was right. Juliet stirred and he worried she had heard him talking, but nothing happened. Shawn fell asleep with his lips pressed to Juliet's forehead, a hand rubbing her back.

That's the end! This one was sort of short though. :(
If there is a song you think would be good for one of these, leave a review with the name of the song! Thanks for reading. :)
