Disclaimer: I do not own Psych.

I believe... that no matter how good a friend is they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.


"And Abigail, this is where I work my psychic magic." Shawn held Abigail's hand, giving her a tour of the Santa Barbara Police Department.

"And here is the grumpy Det. Lassiter. Be careful, he bites." Lassiter rolled his eyes as Abigail pretended to act frightened as Shawn led her around the different desks.

"And here is the lovely Det. O'Hara." Juliet looked up from her work and smiled at Shawn who grinned back, and smiled at Abigail who waved back. "Abs," He turned to Abigail who turned away from Juliet, "wait here for a mo', the Chief just tickled my psychic feelers."

Abigail nodded and sat in the chair next to Juliet. Juliet smiled again, not really wanting to talk to her friend's girlfriend. She had already played nice multiple times when she really want to throw a tantrum.

She played nice when Shawn brought her to a crime scene. She played nice when Abigail needed someone to go shopping and Shawn decided to tag her in and tag himself out. She played nice when Shawn and Gus needed another teammate for their DDR tournament.

She was tired of smiling for Shawn, pretending she liked this girl on girl time. Every time she wanted to tell him the truth, that it hurt her to hear Abigail say I love you to him, but she didn't, she just smiled. It wasn't fair.

Shawn had gotten a second chance and was happy. She had to give him that. She was one of his best friends and she couldn't deny him happiness. That would be cruel and unusual punishment and Shawn wasn't a criminal, he was a friend.

"So what are you guys doing today?" Juliet really didn't want to ask, but she did it to be polite.

"I think we are getting lunch, where though I have no idea." Juliet laughed with Abigail. The two women laughed, one as the girlfriend and the other as a friend about the same man.

"I bet you have some ideas."

"He hinted at just going to the super market and eating whatever we found. He also mentioned hitting up all the vendors on the streets and calling that lunch."

Juliet smiled to herself thinking about the time Shawn went to the supermarket with her. "I hope he doesn't do the supermarket. He forgets he has to pay for the food before he eats it."

Abigail looked at Juliet questioningly. "You guys go to the supermarket?"

Juliet shrugged. "I'm his best friend who's a girl. Gus would get angry if I said best friend so I just add the girl part to make him happy."

"Oh is that why?" Shawn appeared. "Thanks best friend who's a girl for keeping my girlfriend occupied."

Juliet smiled as Shawn gave her a one of kind smile. She was sure Abigail never got that smile. That's why made it okay for Juliet to watch them leave hand in hand and not feel upset. Soon she would get her second chance, she just had to grin and bear it.
