Hey everyone. I still haven't seen the most recent episode but I hope to watch it soon. I, like a lot of other Psych-os, have been caught in this evil vortex of writing about 7x07. Hope you enjoy.


Gus

I can't believe I'm doing this but I have to protect Shawn. He's like my brother and if anything happened to him that I could've somehow prevented, I would never forgive myself. Part of this was my fault and I'm not afraid to admit it. So I sit in my car and wait until Juliet walks by. I get out and call her. "Juliet! Wait!"

She turns around slowly and looks at me with an ice cold glare. Then she turns back and continues walking into the station. So I try again. "I know you found out and I know why you're here. Please just hear me out."

"Why should I?"

"Because I know you still love him. Because if you walk in there, you'll ruin his life."

"Any why should that matter to me? He did lie to me for over 6 years, Gus."

"I know. And part of it was my fault."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's take a walk." She stares at me curiously before letting me lead her somewhere close by but far enough away that we won't be seen by anyone else.

"Why do you think it took him so long to say anything, Juliet?"

"You told him not to tell me?"

"I was protecting my best friend."

"How long?"

"How long what?"

"How long did you stop him from telling me?"

"Since the day before you went on that retreat with him. He wanted to tell you but I didn't want him to risk it."

"How could you do this to me? How could you look me in the eyes everyday knowing it was your fault he was lying to me?"

"I told you. I was more concerned about his well-being than with your feelings. I know it sounds horrible but it's the truth."

"Why are you telling me this, Gus?"

"Because I'm trying to convince you to not tell Lassiter."

"What makes you think you can change my mind? Especially after what you just said."

"The same reason as before, Juliet. You still love him. I can see it in your eyes." She just glares at me again.

"Okay, look. Don't think about it as he lied to you for years. Think about it as he told you a secret that only three other people in the world know. Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't have any secrets that you kept from him and I'll leave right now and never bother you again."

She looks away, just for a second, but it's enough for me. "If you don't want to be with him, that's your decision. It will destroy him but that's for you to decide. Just please, don't tell Lassiter. Shawn won't run when Lassie brings cops with him. He'll go to prison because he hates himself for hurting you. And that, Juliet, is what will kill him. Knowing that not only do you not want him, but that you hate him enough to treat him like the criminals you arrest everyday."

"He lied to the police. He is no better than the criminals I arrest every day."

"You can't really believe that? How could you say that? Even after all the good he's done for the police, after everything he did for you, he's still no better than murderers to you?"

"No – I don't know, Gus."

"To Shawn, in life there are important things, and then there are the most important things in the world. But there are only three things in that last list, Juliet. Me, Psych, and you. He loves chasing the bad guys and he loves helping people in his own way but no matter how much he loves Psych, he loves you more. If he had to choose he would choose you every time."

"But he didn't."

"He did."

"How? He lied to me. It looks like he chose Psych to me."

"That night, at the wedding, he could have fed you any lie he could think of and you would've believed it because you would've wanted to. But he didn't. He told you the truth because he hated lying to you."

She looks at the ground for a while before replying. "I have to go."

"Will you tell them?"

"I haven't decided yet."

She turns and starts walking for the station. I can only hope that I at least convinced her not to tell Lassiter and Chief that Shawn isn't really psychic, even if she won't take him back.


I know that Gus and Juliet are a bit off but I had to make them that way to make the story work. Hope I didn't change them too much and that you liked it. I will definitely have more soon.
