Shawn and Juliet Take a Chance- Chapter 3

"Hey Jules." Shawn said. "Hi, Shawn." Jules looked kind of sad, and Shawn was wondering why. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" Shawn asked. "Shawn, I have so much on my mind right now. I don't really know why everything in my world is turning upside down." Jules said. "Juliet. You'll be fine. I will always be by your side when you need it." Shawn said. Juliet looked up at him, and smiled. "Thanks, Shawn." Shawn nodded, and turned around to find Gus walking near them. "Hey, Juliet. Shawn, we gotta go. We have a 11 O'clock appointment today." "Oh, so you decide to make an appointment without telling me? What's up with that?" Shawn asked. "You do it all the time, Shawn." Gus said. Juliet was just laughing inside but smiling on the outside. "You have a point. Bye, Jules." Juliet said goodbye to them, and they left the SBPD and went to the Psych office.

"Wow, I am tired. Geez, that dude could talk!" Shawn said. "You know that's right." Gus said. Shawn put his fist out, and Gus and Shawn fist bumped. "Gus, do you think Juliet is ok?" Shawn asked. "Gus, I am sure she is fine. If you are so worried about her, why don't you go and talk to her some more? Take her out to dinner tonight." Gus suggested. "Alright, I guess I could do that." Shawn said. "Shawn?" "Yes, Gus?" Shawn said. "Why have you and Juliet never gotten together before?" Gus asked. "I think it's because we are pretty much co-workers, and that would be a little weird. But we realized it doesn't really matter." Shawn said. "Ah, I see." Gus said. There was an awkward pause for a couple of minutes, and Gus decided to break the silence. "So, how has this relationship been working out for you guys?" "Well, I told her we should probably go very slow with this because I don't want to ruin it just because we went to fast." Shawn said. "Whoa, dude. That's really deep coming from you." Gus said. "I know it is, but I really mean it." Shawn said, seriously. "I believe you." "Ok, well I am gonna go call Jules now. I will be back." Shawn said.

"Ok, she's coming here in about an hour. Do you want to come with us?" Shawn asked. "No, I think you guys should work it out alone. I don't wanna end up interrupting you guys." Gus said. "Alright." Shawn walked to his desk and sat down. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Before he fell asleep, he thought about Jules. He couldn't wait to get some things off his chest, and he wanted her to get some things off her chest, too. An hour later, Shawn was still asleep. There was a knock at the door and Gus walked over to Shawn and shook him. "Shawn." "Shawn..." "Shawn!" Gus yelled. Shawn jumped up out of his chair and said, "What? Is there a monster?" Shawn asked quickly. "No! Juliet is here." Gus said. "Oh." Shawn felt embarrassed and then he went over to the door and opened it. "Hi, Shawn." Jules said. "Hey." "What was going on just a second ago?" Juliet asked. Shawn looked at Gus, Gus shrugged, and he looked back at Jules. "Oh...nothing." "Ok, well, you ready to go?" Jules asked. "Yeah, let's go." Shawn said. "See ya Gus." "Bye."

Shawn and Juliet sat down in a booth at a restaurant. Shawn ordered his drink and so did Juliet. Then, Jules looked up at Shawn with a slightly sad expression. "Shawn. I wanted to ask you something." "What is it?" Shawn asked. "Well, you know how we are dating now, right?" Jules said. "Yeah." "Well, I was wondering...how do you feel about me?" "What do you mean?" Shawn asked. The waitress came over and gave them their drinks, and they quickly ordered. "Ok, like I was saying... What I mean is, what is your feelings towards me?" "Oh, well that's easy. Your very important to me. Even when I first met you, I knew you would end up being one of my best friends. If I didn't have you anymore, I would be nothing." Juliet smiled and looked down. She looked back up and Shawn was smiling, too. "So, how do you feel about me?" Shawn asked. "Exactly the same, Shawn. You are everything to me." Juliet said. Shawn nodded. The waitress came back with the food and Shawn took a deep breath when she left. "What's wrong?" Juliet asked. "I ordered mayonnaise." Shawn said. "Shawn, what's the real reason?" "Ok, well...I wonder what Gus thinks about me dating you." Shawn said. Juliet shook her head, and left to the bathroom.

Juliet came back from the bathroom and she told Shawn, "Don't you think Gus is fine with it? I'm pretty sure he knows everything about you and he understands why you are dating me in the first place." "That makes sense." Shawn said. Shawn looked down at his food that was halfway gone. He pushed it away, acting like he was too full to eat anymore. For about 10 minutes, everything was silent. Juliet finished her food, and they just looked at each other. Shawn looked down, and said, "I don't feel so good. I'll be right back." Shawn got out of the booth and walked to the bathroom. He came back out eventually and they went back to the Psych office. When they walked in, Shawn sat down in his chair and felt even worse than before. "Oh, gosh. I think I was poisoned." Shawn said. Shawn held his stomach, and looked up at Gus, and then looked at Jules. "Shawn, we should get you some help." said Jules. Shawn closed his eyes, and collapsed to the floor.

"I think he's waking up." Juliet said. Shawn opened up his eyes, and looked at Juliet. "Jules!" he smiled and she said, "You're going to be ok, Shawn. Turns out the person who we have been trying to find poisoned your drink. But it wasn't too bad. The doctor said you are going to be fine." "Oh, thank God. Where's Gus?" Shawn asked. "He went to the bathroom. He will be back." Jules said. Once everything was clearer for Shawn, he sat up. Gus walked into the room and was really happy. "Hey, Shawn! You're awake now!" "Yeah." Shawn said. "You feeling a little bit better?" Gus asked. "Yeah, I am. But, I have a question. Why would that person target me?" Shawn asked. "Shawn, they obviously didn't want you revealing to everyone who the murderer was. Which, was obviously them." Juliet said. "Ok. Hey, Jules? Is It ok If me and Gus talk alone?" Shawn asked. "Yeah, sure." Juliet got up out of her seat and grabbed Shawn's hand and squeezed it just to remind Shawn about how she feels about him. She left the room and shut the door. "What is it, Shawn?" Gus asked. "I just wanted to tell you that you are my best friend and I care about you. You are a good friend, Gus." Shawn said. "Thanks, buddy. I feel the same way about you." Shawn smiled, and told Gus, "You can let Juliet back in now, if you want."

"Hey, Doctor! When can Shawn come home?" Gus asked. "Well, since we know he's doing fine, I think he should be home tonight. You guys have some plans tonight or something?" The Doctor asked. "No, I just really want to hang out with him because I really miss him. You know, personal stuff." Gus said. "Ah, I see. Well, you can go in there and talk with him if you'd like." "Oh, thank you. I really want to talk to him." Gus said. The doctor nodded and then left. Gus walked into the room to find Shawn just staring blankly at the wall. "Hey, Shawn. How you doing?" "I'm doing fine. I really hope I can come home by tonight." Shawn said. "Yeah, the doctor said you can be home by tonight. Maybe even earlier than that, but, you never know." Gus said in a calm voice. "Hey, you alright buddy?" Shawn asked. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." Gus said. "I really hope you aren't scared that I am gonna die or something 'cause the doctor said I'm gonna be fine." Shawn said to Gus quickly. "Well, you are my best friend, Shawn," Gus said, "And I am worried about you and I don't want anything to happen to you." Shawn looked up and smiled at Gus. "Whatever will be, will be." Shawn said. Gus looked up at Shawn and looked in his eyes and saw the pain he was feeling. Not pain that is physical, but pain emotionally. He was probably afraid that family members were worried about him. Gus and Shawn continued talking almost for an hour longer.

"Oh, thank God I can finally get out of here!" Shawn said. "I am pretty happy about it, too." Juliet said. She smiled and took Shawn's hand when he was getting up out of the hospital bed. All 3 of them eventually left the hospital together and were back at the Psych office in no time. It was 10:00 pm, and Jules said that she better get going. Shawn asked, "Why? Are you going somewhere important? Because if you aren't, you can stay a little bit longer if you want." "No, I'm not going anywhere important. But If you want me to stay that's fine with me." Jules said. Juliet walked back in and set her things back down. She sat down in a chair and Shawn said, "How about we play some game? What game do you wanna play, Jules?" Shawn looked over at Jules with a questioning face. "I don't really care. Anything is good for me." "Alright. Gus you choose." Shawn said. "Hmm... How about Twister?" Gus suggested. "Sounds good to me." Shawn and Juliet both said at the same time. They looked over at each other like some random person just slapped Gus on the face. After a couple hours of laughter and twister, they were eventually finished. "So, what to do now?" Gus asked. "Well, it's getting pretty late. I think I should get home now." Juliet said. She said goodbye to Shawn and Gus then left. Gus and Shawn were just standing there not sure what to do. There was a long period of awkward silence, and Shawn broke the silence by saying, "Well, I should probably be getting home too." "Yeah, me too." Gus said, agreeing with Shawn. They both left the office and Gus got in his car and Shawn got on his motorcycle and they both went home.

The next morning, Shawn's phone starting ringing at 8:00 in the morning. He answered the phone and said, "Hello?" In a very tired voice. "Hey, Shawn. It's me, Juliet." "Oh, hey Jules. What's up?" Shawn asked. "I was wondering if you are busy tonight?" Jules asked. "No, no I'm free." Shawn replied in a quiet tone. "Well, what time is good for you?" "I think 9 pm is good. Why don't you come by my place and I will take you to wherever you want to go." Shawn replied. "Sounds great. See you then." Juliet said in a happy voice. Shawn hung up, and then opened up his laptop. He was about to click the on button, but hesitated. He had been on the computer a lot that day, and he thought it's probably time he went outside and did something. Maybe call Gus over to the Psych office to join in with him. After calling, Gus was already at the Psych office after 10 minutes passed. "Wow, buddy, you got here pretty quick." Shawn said, surprised. "Yeah, I know. I'm kinda jumpy today. No reason, though." Gus said. "Oh, I am pretty sure there is a reason." Shawn said in a weird tone, which intimidated Gus just a tad.

Shawn opened up his door and saw his beautiful Juliet. "Hey, Jules. Come in." Juliet walked into his house and she asked, "So, where are we going? On the way here I couldn't really decide." "Well, I guess we will see." Shawn and Juliet walked out the door hand in hand, and they ended up going to a very fancy restaurant. Juliet, startled, asked, "Shawn! How did you afford this?" "I had some extra money from the last case me and Gus were on. Gus said it was okay for me to use the money to take you somewhere special." Shawn said, smiling. "Thank you, Shawn." Juliet smiled and kissed Shawn on the cheek. The waitor came and gave them their table, and they sat down and talked all night.
