I know that it has been a long time since I have updated and I am so sorry about that. This is the last chapter of the story. I might come back and do a sequel for Jaz/Lizard and Jason/Shannon don't know yet. Thank you to all the lovely people who have reviewed. Now on with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for Shannon and Jaz.
After a restful night of sleep, I woke to an almost unbearable heat. Kicking off the blankets I groaned at the lack of coolness in the room. Deserts can die, there are. O uses for them I thought, giggling a little at my own thought. My gosh, I am losing my mind in this heat. Sitting up I looked around at the deserted bedroom that I was in. Struggling out of the soaking blankets, I pulled myself out of the bed. Opening my bag I pulled out a clean tank top and some shorts along with the deodorant, god knows I'm gonna need it. Opening the door I peered into the hallway. There was four doors total excluding the room I'm staying in. I wonder which one Jaz slept in with Lizard last night. Walking into the hallway I closed the door behind me and proceeded down the staircase, where in the kitchen everyone sat. Guess I'm the last one up I thought as I sat down between ruby and goggle with Jaz on the opposite side holding hands with lizard. The breakfast before me was so normal that it shocked me, eggs bacon toast not any human parts or entrails. Humans must not be very appetizing this early in the morning, probably doesn't sit well in the stomach. I giggled again at the thought; I'm really cracking myself up today. I didn't even notice the stares I got in the silent kitchen. Finishing the delicious breakfast I headed to the living room with everyone else except big mama and Jupiter who stayed in the kitchen. Looking around the living room I saw the most terrifying mannequin standing in the corner. I tried ignoring it and watch the TV but it was staring at me. Glancing back at the mannequin my suspicion was confirmed, it was indeed staring at me with its unblinking, creepy eyes.
"Does anyone else notice the creepy staring mannequin in the corner of the room?" I asked. All eyes darted to me questionably then traveled to the corner.
"Why the hell is there a creepy doll in your house?" Jaz screamed.
"That there is Alice, she's always been here" lizard said with a smirk on his face.
"That's the creepiest thing I've ever seen. Are there more of them around here?" Jaz asked.
"All ova the place"
"You thinking what I'm thinking Jaz?"
"Mannequin massacre?"
"Exactly"
"No, ya can't kill them they like family ta us. Ita be like murder." Goggle said.
"But that's no fun at all" I pouted, giving him the puppy eyes.
"If ya wanna do somethin go outside"
"But we can't, the sun will kill us" I exclaimed. They all gave ma skeptical looks except Pluto.
"I'll protect ya from da sun. Make sure it no hurt ya."
"Why thank you Pluto you are really sweet. Then we'll go outside." I said getting up and looking at Jaz expectantly.
"Uh, I'm gonna stay inside."
"With Lizard" I heard ruby whisper to me. I giggled giving Jaz a wink and heading outside with Pluto and Ruby.
"So what do you want to do?" I asked, scowling at the sun in the process.
"Shanun, watch out" Ruby screamed as I ran into a pole. Why is there a random pole in the ground? I backed up and looked at it. It was a…
"Swing set, let's go swing Ruby" I said excitedly pulling towards it. I sat down and started swinging rhythmically back and forth. This gave me an opportunity to think about the journey I've taken and all that I've seen. It had been a blast and I'm so glad that I could experience them with Jaz most of all. Then why am I so sad? Jason, I know that's a reason. I feel so horrible and the biggest part is that I really like him but I probably have blown it with him after running away. And Jaz, she's my best friend what am I gonna do without her? We've been through everything together. If she stays out here, and I'm sure she will, then I will most likely never be able to see and talk to her. I glanced up at the house and saw Jaz and lizard through the window. I am sure going to miss that girl.
"Shanun, why ya cry?" Ruby asked taking my hand in hers.
"I'm just really sad Ruby. I lost the guy I like and I'm going to lose my best friend too." I said wiping the tears off my cheek.
"Ya aren't losin nuthin. Ya can stay here, with us." Ruby said hopefully.
"No, I got to go home Rubes" I said faintly smiling at her. I got up to see Pluto in front of us playing with something.
"Pluto, what are you playing with?" I asked peering over his shoulder. He opened his hands and sitting there was a tarantula. I screamed bloody murder any high tailed it back to the house with ruby following behind.
"Ugh, I hate spiders. They are so nasty" I said. They all started laughing and Jaz got up and took my hand leading me up stairs into her room.
"Why have you been crying, and before you say you weren't your eyes are all red" I just smiled and put my head on her shoulder and cried while Jaz made cooing noises trying to soothe me.
"What am I gonna do?" I asked after I finished crying all over her.
"With Jason? I think that you have to decide what to do with him, but if I were you I would high tail it back to camp and apologize to him. That's the least you could do" she said with finality.
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"I'm never going to see you again"
"don't be silly Shannon, you can always come and see me, we are sisters and just cause we are in different places doesn't mean that we won't be together"
"Your right"
" I always am" she said smiling. I lightly punched her in the arm. She grabbed a pillow and it me across the face with it. Oh she's gonna get it now as I grabbed a pillow and started hitting her back. It continued like this before I threw me pillow down, giving up. We threw ourselves onto the bed and giggled insanely. I will never forget these moments with her. I say up glancing out the window, still daylight. I stood pulling Jaz up with me giving her a hug.
" You were right, about everything. Now I gotta run Jason's waiting for me" I said giving her one last hug before going to get my stuff, which was all still packed. As I made my way down stairs I was pulled into a group hug by the family.
"I'm gonna miss ya Shanun" Goggle said shyly. I smiled and gave him a hug back followed by Ruby, Pluto, Big Mama, Lizard, and finally Jaz.
"Don't be afraid, we'll see each other soon. You just go and have fun." she said giving me one last hug before I got in the car and started driving back towards the camp. Following the same road back was like driving down memory lane, Michael's house where we got kicked out, where we parked and took the sleeping pills these were some of the best times with Jaz. Now I'm starting down my own path alone but hopefully not for long. As I got closer I became more nervous at what awaited me at the camp. As I pulled into the camp it was deserted. Getting out if the car I looked around trying to find the man.
"What are you doing here?" I heard the voice behind me say. I turned around looking up at him.
"I'm sorry about running away and I do really like you, please forgive me" I said stepping closer to him. He wrapped me in a hug putting his face in the crook of my neck and breathing in.
"let's go home" he said while I nodded. I waited to be sat down but was surprised when he started walking towards home with me still in his arms. I just smiled and laid my head on his shoulder, content to just lay here. Walking into the house all the memories resurfaced and I just smiled happy to be back. He sat me down on the couch saying something about taking a shower but I ignored him. I went into the kitchen and opened the cabinet to be met, to my surprise, with cups. Taking one I filled it with cold water and took a long drink. Sitting back down I turned on the TV and let the cartoons grab hold of my attention. Then I felt the pain in my bladder and raced to the bathroom door. Still hearing the water on, I stepped inside just as Jason pulled the curtain back. Time froze and we stared at each other until time came rushing back and I dropped my eyes to the floor and rushed out slamming the door behind me. I heard it open and turned around to see Jason only in his boxers and mask. My face turned scarlet and I looked down avoiding eye contact.
"I didn't see your face or anything and I'm sorry about barging in on you I thought you were still in the shower. I should have knocked and…"
"Your rambling Shannon"
" Oh I know I'm embarrassed"
"Well if you didn't see anything there's no reason to me embarrassed right?"
"I guess so" I said and started laughing at what I just did. I said I didn't see anything but he was well endowed. I felt my face turn scarlet again and started laughing harder.
I looked up at him smiling, this was going to be good.
