So, like the description, 4 major moments in the relationship. :D All four are connected, but I just skip to the moments. :D If that actually makes sense...It does to me, anyway...lol
"Jules," Shawn said when he and Juliet got back to the office after a nice dinner. Sitting himself down on the bench in front of the Psych office, he motioned for her to sit next to him. He felt like it was time, to do the right thing. Juliet finally sat down next to him. He sighed before just blurting it out, "I'm not psychic." He braced himself for what he knew was coming. He clenched his eyes shut tight.
After a while of not feeling anything, he opened one eye to make sure she was still there. He opened his other eye, "Jules?"
That's when IT hit him, "How could you!"
"Jules, I-" He reached his hand to cover his stinging cheek, "Ow."
"How could you do this! You lied to me for all these years!" She felt tears coming to her eyes, but kept them back, "I thought you loved me! I thought you cared!"
Shawn not only hurt her with his lie, but she had just hurt him with those words, "Jules I do love you!" He said, "I'll always care!"
"Then why! Why would you lie!" She screamed. People were staring, now.
"Jules, all of this has an explanation!"
"Of course it does!" She kept yelling.
"I'm serious, Jules." He, too, had tears building up.
"I'm sorry, Shawn. I just-I can't deal with this anymore." She said as she turned, ran to her car, and left Shawn standing there.
She jumped in her car, and sat for a while. She turned on the radio to hear:
We are never ever ever getting back together...
She quickly turned it off, but the words got her, a single tear ran down. She loved Shawn. She knew he loved her. She sat there, in her car, to think some more. She saw Shawn go inside the Psych office. She didn't let him explain. Should she go back? She quietly got out of the car, and walked back.
She knocked on the door. When no one answered after 4 knocks, she just went ahead and let herself in. She knew Shawn never locked the doors.
She didn't find Shawn there, but she did find a note on Gus's desk that read:
Gus, I'm leaving, it's better not to tell you why. Just know that I'm gone, and don't know when I'm coming back. -Shawn
She put her hand to her mouth. Shawn left...because of her. He left because of her. She probably crushed him with what she had said.
The salty sea air was so refreshing, but it always was, because he had office space near the ocean. Shawn was on his bike, riding down the highway. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't care. Anywhere away from Santa Barbara was fine with him.
"Gus, I need your help." She told Gus over the phone, "Shawn's gone."
"Shawn's gone? What? As in, like, he was kidnapped?"
"No, at least, I don't think so. He left a note on your desk that said he was leaving and doesn't know when he's coming back." She said.
"Why would he just leave like that?"
"Uh, probably because I, uh, he thinks I don't love him anymore."
"What, why?"
"He told me, Gus. He told me he wasn't psychic, and I overreacted."
"Ooh, that's bad. You know, he has never ever felt feelings like that towards anyone before."
She was slightly taken aback at Gus's statement, "Really?"
"Yep. So are you at the office?"
"Yeah."
After driving a little longer than 40 minutes, Shawn pulled into the town he knew to be Ventura, CA. He stopped at a Motel 6 near the beach, and rented a room.
He opened the door, there was blue carpet, and white walls. The bed had a quilt with different areas of the world on it with the animals that live in that climate. This actually caught Shawn's attention. While he was examining how many flamingos there were, his phone rang, he pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. Sweetie Bunny. The name he put under Juliet's number. Should he answer it? He thought to long, and it stopped ringing. When he got the voicemail, he clicked listen.
"Shawn. Running is dumb. I'm so, so, sorry for snapping at you. I, just don't want to lose you. Please come back. I still love you."
The 'I love you' stood out to Shawn over the rest of the message. What was he thinking? Leaving on such short notice? He had a girlfriend back at home, that loved him. He hadn't even slept a single night in the motel, when he checked out. Such a waste of money, but, he was equipped with Gus's credit card.
On the ride back, he felt numerous calls to his cell. He assumed they were from Gus. Because he had used his credit card. But he kept driving. He couldn't stop now. He had to tell Juliet that he still loved her, too.
At around 10 that night, he pulled up in front of Juliet's house. Before he got a chance to take his helmet off, someone burst out through the front door.
"Shawn!" Juliet yelled happily. She ran to him, took his helmet off him, and gave him a giant hug, followed by a kiss.
"What? I was gone for like, 2 hours." Shawn replied.
"That's not the point, I thought I had lost you. I love you, Shawn." She said.
"I love you, too, Jules. So, are we good? You don't hate me?"
"No! Of course not! I am disappointed because of the lie, sure, but I don't hate you."
"Oh, phew. Wait, are you going to tell anyone else?"
"No, I'll let you do that. It's your lie, your mistake. You have to fix it. But it has to be soon."
"How soon?" Shawn asked going in for another kiss.
"I'll let you figure that out. I love you."
"I love you too."
