#1 Wake Me Up When September Ends-Green Day
September 11th, 2001
Carlton frowned as he made his way up to his office, thinking about what Shawn had said earlier that morning. His husband of fifteen years had tried to get him to stay home from work, something about life as they know it falling apart. Carlton loved Shawn with all his heart but even after all this time he still couldn't believe that Shawn could know the future just by falling asleep. It took a whole lot of reassuring for Shawn to let him leave.
Carlton sat at his desk going over some paper work when the first plane hit. Upon feeling an impact like an earthquake and hearing a sound like a bomb, Carlton got up to see what had happened. He was just about to open the door when the ceiling collapsed, debris flying everywhere, dust and asbestos clouding the room.
After the initial shock of what had happened wore off, he tried to move but couldn't. An iron beam, which was used to hold the ceiling in place, was strewn diagonally across his abdomen and pelvis, effectively pinning him to the floor. He then tried calling for help but all that passed his dry lips was a broken gargle.
Shawn he thought as his vision began to fade. This couldn't be happening. He didn't want to die, not yet. He didn't want leave this world with his last sight being his demolished office. He wanted to die old with Shawn, together. He closed his eyes and tried to think of a way out of it when a beautiful scene clouded his mind.
It was a memory of him and Shawn at his uncle's farm in North Carolina when they were sixteen. They were laying in a meadow just west of the house, watching the clouds roll by. That was the best day of Carlton's life and he knew even then that he would never forget it. On that day he told himself that if he died while away from Shawn, he would think of that day and true to his word he saw a sixteen year old Shawn turn to him and heard his sweet voice as he took one last breath.
I just want you to know that no matter what you'll always have somebody here for you. I'll never leave you.

There was a machine beeping and he thought he heard a wet, heavy sigh as the thick darkness that had taken hold of him for so long slowly began to fade away. He felt a pair of arms wrapped around him, holding him in a death grip and a warm lump on his chest that he thought, for some odd reason, he'd never feel again. He looked down at his chest to find a familiar tuff of brown hair and memories flooded his mind that made him immediately want to squeeze the lump as close as possible and never let go.
The lump stirred and Carlton's icy blue eyes met red-rimmed hazel ones. Tears swam down Shawn's face as he clung to Carlton like his life depended on it.
"God, Carlton I thought I'd lost you. I told you not to go to work that day. You can't leave me like that. Don't ever leave me. Please don't leave me." Shawn sobbed erratically into his chest, clinging to Carlton even tighter. Memories of that day in the meadow played in Carlton's mind once more.
Don't ever leave me, please don't leave me.
I won't. I'll never leave you.
"I'll never leave you Shawn."
Did you really think I'd kill off Lassie-face? Lassie's one of my favorites, I'd never be able to do that. Plus, Shawn would hate me for the rest of forever. Hopefully this one wasn't so bad. I'm not too good with angst; I'm more of a humor girl myself. I'll try to get the next short uploaded soon. Thoughts?
