Lifeless series 1:Shane's deadly secret
Chapter two: Shane Changed
It had been a year and the cancer still hadn't returned, it may never return. But there was one thing about the disease that was permanent and would never ever go away. That was the effect it had on Shane's life. It was almost like Shane was a new man, he saw the world so differently. He may have known he was loved before but only really realized the true meaning of family when he had Cancer.
Shane may have still had humor and was a good laugh to be around. But the people that really knew him, his family, his friends and most of all his wife Marissa could easily see a different Shane.
He was now all for charities, I mean yes ok he did his fair share of charity work before but not as much as this. He cared allot more about the way people see him. This had an effect on both his ring performance and his stage acts. He took remarks allot more personally, he took everything to heart. Shane had gone through a dramatic change and it seemed that how he was now was the way he was gonna stay.
Month after month Shane went to the hospital just for a check up. You always knew when it was time for this because Shane would go as quiet as a mouse. He'd drive to the hospital with no music on, he'd just sit and drive trying his best to concentrate on the road but always thinking of the worst. That the cancer had come back. Sure enough each time he went to the hospital he always came out clear and a massive sigh of relief would come over Shane's face. He'd drive home happily singing and listening to all kinds of music.
No sooner did he get home would he celebrate the night away. Sometimes with family and friends, but most of the time just with Marissa. That was the way he liked it best just a cozy night in with the love of his life Marissa. The one women that made his life complete. Usually he'd ring everyone he knew and tell them not to bother him tonight, not to page him, not to phone him and most of all not to knock on the door. Sometimes though he'd take the simple way round of disconnecting the phone, switching his pager off and well just ignoring the door. So that him and Marissa could have a night of satisfaction, a night of passion and most of all a night of romance.
At about midnight Marissa and Shane would often go for a little walk down to Greenwich's lovely sandy beach or Belle haven and the harbor. This wouldn't last long just long enough to discuss life, to discuss how lucky they were to be together, to discuss what brought them together, to discuss work and most of all to discuss family. Shane and Marissa often discussed having children but decided not to. They decided it was better to wait and enjoy a few more years of pleasure before being committed parents.
When you think about it, Shane and Marissa were both still young and it would have been unfair to spoil a few more years of peace and being able to just get up and go, which is what they'd lose with children. Shane and Marissa loved their lives and were overjoyed at being able to stay together as a couple so long. It was like a dream come true. Shane use to always tell Marissa that he always dreamed of a girl like her but never thought he'd get one. They were so happy, they may have been adults but both were children at heart. Both of them enjoyed allot of the things that teenagers enjoy doing, mucking about, going to theme parks, playing stupid games, daring each other and all stuff like that.
They weren't the kind of couple that kept themselves to themselves and make teenagers hate them through how strict they were. But they were a lovely couple that loved to interact with fans and help out when they could. Shane and Marissa weren't the kind of couple that if you kicked a ball on their garden they'd yell at you and keep your ball. But they were the kind of couple that wouldn't hesitate to give you your ball back and even sometimes play soccer or whatever game you were playing with you.
There are no words that could ever describe Shane and Marissa's relationship better, other than these. They were kind, caring, loving and most of all perfect for each other. If there was one thing that didn't change for the worst after Shane having cancer it was his relationship and feelings for Marissa. Shane and Marissa weren't just a couple, and they weren't just husband and wife. They were soul mates ,joined at the hip, whether Shane weren't Marissa would follow and visor versa .They decided to re-new their wedding vows.
