Chapter 7 Decision Time
Shawn blinked bringing in the new information. Okay. . . so here I am watching Titanic with my new girlfriend and here's my old one, he thought, great, just great.
He looked at Angela obviously very confused, "Angela why are you here?"
She sighed," Shawn I'm here because I. . . miss you. And I love you. Don't you love me?"
Rather than answer this question Shawn turned the light on and walked back to Ari who looked up at him expressing no emotion besides surprise.
"Shawn. . . who is that?" Angela asked him although already knowing the answer.
"This is Ari, she's my. . . girlfriend," he finished finally.
Ari swallowed. She knew what she was going to do, it was the right thing. Shawn loved this Angela and no matter how much pain Ari was going to feel, she was going to make Shawn happy. He deserves to be happy, she thought, and I want him to be. He taught me to trust again, and he taught me to love again but. . . I wish he could be happy with me.
Before she had time to say anything, Angela spoke, "Your girlfriend? Oh. . . well do you want to be with her. . . or me?"
Shawn ran his hand through his hair and turned to face Ari, "Ari I. . . "
Ari, strong-willed as she was, knew it was her time to talk, "Shawn," she said softly," I. . . I want you to be happy, and you love Angela. You have known her for years right? You've known me for what? Two months. Shawn, " she said her voice growing stronger," you've taught me to trust people again. If you love her, and I think that you do, than be with her."
She looked up at the ceiling, determined not to cry in front of them, and tried to smile but only succeeded in making her bottom lip tremble miserably," Hey, we'll still be friends right? You promised me that."
Shawn only looked at her. What is she doing, he wondered, is she just going to let me go? Not even fight for me? Just let me go through this process on my own? And then something dawned on him, and he made his decision.
"Angela" he said walking towards her, "I want to be with. . . Ari."
"What?" both Angela and Ari said in unison," why?"
Shawn sighed," Angela. . . I have always wanted a relationship like Cory has with Topanga, and with you I thought I had finally found it. . . until you left. I remember when Topanga was forced, she had to go even though she didn't want to, to move to Pittsburgh. Two weeks later she turned up at Cory's house soaking wet. She had gotten on a bus and ran away from home to be with him. She moved back with an aunt that she didn't like to be with him, but you. . .left me on your own."
"Shawn," Angela answered swiftly," I wanted to be with my dad."
"I know Angela, but you deserted me. And I let you go because I knew that was what you wanted," he turned to face Ari," and that's what Ari was going to do."
Ari smiled, the tears shining in her eyes. Shawn turned back to talk to Angela," Angela I let you go because I thought you would stay true to me and we would be fine in a year, but you found someone else. I mean you're supposed to get married to him in a week and a half, and you didn't even tell me. So Angela. . .I'm sorry but I can't forgive you and I've found someone new who I know won't do that to me."
"Shawn. . . I'm sorry," she glanced at Shawn one last time with a tear-stained face and was out the door back to Europe and her fiancé.
When Angela had gone, Shawn turned back to Ari," Let's go for a walk."
"It's 11:30 at night in New York, and its raining," she said softly," let's go."
They went outside, Angela had obviously taken a cab back to the airport because they didn't meet her in the hall, and began their conversation.
"Shawn," Ari started," where are we going?"
"Let's walk to Cory's," he answered.
They walked in silence for a few minutes when Ari suddenly stopped. Shawn turned to look at her and she put a hand on his arm," Shawn. . . why didn't you go with her?"
Shawn looked down into her beautiful sparkling green eyes. Even with the limited amount of light, Shawn thought she looked gorgeous, "Ari. . . you are. . . incredible. I have never had as much fun with a girl as I have had with you these couple of months."
She hugged him, burying her face, which was wet with tears, into his shoulder," Shawn. . . I'm sorry."
Whatever Shawn was expecting as an answer, it was certainly not this," For what?"
She looked up at him," For ever doubting you. I thought you were going to leave me."
Shawn smiled," It's okay. I figured out that you were doing exactly what I was when I let Angela go. You wanted me to be happy. You just didn't know I was happy with you."
She wiped away her tears," You're expecting lots of kisses for this aren't you?" she said trying to lighten the mood.
Shawn laughed," Definitely," and kissed her softly then asked, " Ari, what does your name mean?"
She smiled," Aria means 'beautiful melody' and my middle name, Amanda, means 'worthy of love.'"
Shawn put his arm around her waist as they started walking again," That sounds about right."
A/N Sorry to those of you who wanted him to go with Angela. Its just in my experience long distant relationships seldom work out, and in this story she was getting married to someone else in a week and a half. Anyways thanks to everyone who reviewed! And please tell me if you liked the ending or not. Thanks ~ Trinity
