Shayid4eva, I have a feeling you will like this chap!
Everyone just a quick note, dont hate me at the end of this - please??
Boone and Locke had gone away on the activity weekend and Shannon couldn't be happier. She had already got her entire weekend planned out.
"So you wanna go out on Saturday?" Claire asked Kate and Shannon one their way home from school.
"Yeah sure" Kate said "Where too?"
"Sorry girls" Shannon said "I'm making the most of Boone being away. I'm going out… well I've got a date actually" Shannon blushed, Kate and Claire knew Shannon had been on a few dates, but she had never blushed like that.
"Where?" Claire asked.
"And more importantly with who?" Kate added as Claire giggled.
"If you must know" Shannon said, attempting to roll her eyes but failing in her excitement "I don't know where I'm going just yet, it's a surprise"
"Cool, sounds cute!" Claire said.
"Yeah" Kate agreed "But who with?" She asked again.
"Sayid" Shannon whispered.
"Sayid?" Claire and Kate both repeated, questioning in their tones.
"Yeah" Shannon muttered embarrassed "Why?"
"Its just well…" Claire said.
"He's not your usual type" Kate said.
"I know" Shannon said "He's better, the other guys, they were all talk. Sayid he's… he's sweet, caring-"
"He's actually got more than one brain cell" Kate interrupted.
"Yeah" Shannon laughed "I like him, I really like him" She said smiling happily.
"Aww" Claire and Kate chorused.
"I'm on my own now!" Kate complained.
"What?" Claire asked.
"Well you've got Charlie, and know Shannon's got Sayid… I haven't got anyone" Kate said.
"Let me stop you right there!" Shannon exclaimed "You, young lady" Shannon said, waving her finger at Kate mockingly "Have got many admirers"
"Course" Kate said rolling her eyes.
"Shannon's right" Claire agreed "You have"
"Who then?" Kate questioned.
"Well Sawyer for a start off" Shannon said.
"Sawyer?" Kate said sarcastically, but secretly she was pleased, Sawyer like her? Kate tried hard not to outwardly smile "He just flirts with anything in a skirt"
"Excuses excuses" Shannon said "He is so like into you"
"Whatever" Kate said.
"And then there's Jack" Claire added.
"And then there's Jack" Shannon repeated "Although I think he was looking at that Ana Lucia girl in History class today."
"See" Kate said "He's into Ana not me"
"Just because he was looking at her today, it doesn't count out all the times he's looked at you" Shannon argued.
"Well whatever you say" Kate said "So I'll see you guys Monday yeah?"
"Yeah" Shannon said.
"Bye Kate" Claire waved as Kate headed down to her house.
"Hello Shannon" Sayid said as he met her at her house the next morning.
"Hey" She smiled sweetly.
"Are you ready?" He asked her, but he didn't really need to, she looked beautiful. She had toned down her usual Shannon's clothes as she knew she didn't need them with Sayid, he liked her for her, not what she looked like.
"Yep" She said "Tell me where were going please!" She said as she shut the door behind her.
"It's a surprise Shannon" He said smiling at her eagerness.
"Please?" She said, fluttering her eyelashes comically.
"No" He laughed "You'll see soon enough"
"Aw ok" She sad, pouting like a little toddler.
"I've just got to stop off at my house" Sayid said "I've forgotten my phone"
"Ok" she said as he opened the front door.
"You can go and sit on the back if you like" He said "Ill be back in a minute"
"Ok" She said, heading towards the glass door that he pointed towards.
Shannon gasped as she pulled the door open. On the garden there was a rug laid out on the grass with food and drinks laid out on it. There were some candles around the rug, they were all burning with a gorgeous smell. Shannon turned around to see Sayid smiling at her.
"Surprise?" he said.
"Its beautiful" She breathed, giving him a hug. Sayid was shocked and pleased as he hugged her tightly back.
"Shall we?" He said, holding out his arm which she took giggling.
They sat down on the rug and began to eat the lunch Sayid had set out. After the lunch had gone, the sat and talked for hours, they didn't notice the time fly by, it just felt so right.
"Did anyone ever tell you your beautiful Shannon" Sayid said.
"Hot, fit, yeah" She said "Beautiful, no"
"Well you are" He smiled, stroking her face softly.
Shannon's cheeks burned red at his soft touch. She brought her hand up to his and pulled it away. She looked into his eyes which were full of love, not lust like the boys before. Her whole body tingled as his lips touched with hers, joining their lips in a soft kiss, she knew if could live in one moment forever, that would be the one.
The kiss was interrupted by Shannon's cell phone ringing loudly.
"You should answer that" Sayid said pulling away.
" Ill just leave it" She smiled.
"Answer it Shannon" He smiled back, she knew he wasn't trying to get rid of her, he just cared about her.
"Ok" She said, pulling the phone from her pocket.
She read the screen and looked at caller I.D.
"Hey dad" Shannon said after reading his name on the screen "What's up?"
"Shannon" Her dad said, his voice seemed strange, it was scared and anxious "You need to get home now"
"Why dad?" She asked worriedly "What's the matter?"
"It's Boone" He replied "There's been an accident"
"What kind of accident?" She asked worriedly, even though her and her step brother argued a lot, she did care for him.
"Ill tell you when your home, they might be trying to ring us" He said "Please come home, as soon as you can"
"Ok" Shannon said, shutting off the call.
"What's wrong Shannon?" Sayid asked her, seeing the fear in her face.
"There's been an accident, with Boone" She said shakily "I need to get home"
"Ill walk you" Sayid offered.
"Thanks" She said.
She was soon home and after saying bye to Sayid she was met by her dad and her step-mum.
"What's wrong?" She said, the sadness on their faces was clearly visible, tears where streaming thickly down their faces.
"Boone, you know he was on the climbing trip?" Her dad explained.
"Yeah with Locke from school" Shannon said.
"Well, when they were climbing, one of Boone's wires came loose." Her dad explained, the words catching in his throat. "He fell and was badly injured. The—The doctors" He said, his words now completely breaking down. "Well we rang you and when I got off the phone with you the hospital rang. They… they said"
"What did they say dad?" Shannon said scared.
"He's… they said that they did all they could" Her dad said.
"Boones dead?" Shannon said in horror. Her eyes filled up with tears. As soon as the words left Shannon's mouth her step-mum dissolved into complete sobs.
Shannon stood watching the scene, her dad wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly. Suddenly the realisation hit Shannon hard in the stomach. Her step-brother was dead. Boone was dead. She would never see him again.
She collapsed to the floor and cried. She continued crying when her dad came over to her and wrapped his arms around her. She cried while she got ready for bed. And she still cried as she went to sleep.
Sorry for killing Boone off - dont hate me please! That was the first and only charcter death, Im not really good at writing this sort of thing, so please let me know how you think I did! Please dont hate me and my story for killing him!!
