Author's Notes: This is my very first fic ever! It's pretty short and sweet. Just some random thoughts that I needed to get out of my head. I can't find any Tom/Shawn stuff out there so I guess I will just have to start writing my own.
Spoilers: No real spoilers. Setting is Season 2-ish.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!
Just a Kid
He's just a kid. When I look at him in that expensive suit confidently giving speeches to thousands, I still see a teenager. I see my nephew on the floor playing video games and eating pizza with Kyle. What happened to that Shawn? He's gotten so caught up in the 4400 movement. Sometimes I wonder if it's because he doesn't think he has anything else. He doesn't think he has anyone else. I blame myself for that. Jordan has taken over that father figure that Shawn has so desperately needed. I used to think that father figure was me. Hell, I still think of Shawn as a son, even though I have a messed up way of showing it sometime. I know the old Shawn is still in there; that kind, nervous, young man who would heal the whole world if only he could. But he's so stubborn and he's so set on trying to please Jordan, that he can't see the truth. Everything he has worked for in the past few years is falling down around him. Jordan is a dangerous and powerful man. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants. I know he cares for Shawn, but nothing, not even his protégé will stand in the way of his plans.
Reviews are definitely appreciated, especially since this is my first stab at fanfiction. Any advice will be very helpful!
