I'm A Believer

Disclaimer: I dont own shannon, I own gemma, thats it. Smashmouth own the song.
I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
The song made Shannon stop and smile. If there was ever a song written about him, it was this one. There was once a time when Shan thought love was only true in fairy tales, meant for everybody else but him. He was sure he was one of those people destined to raom the earth lonely for eternity.
That was until he met Gemma. She had changed hismind on a lot of things in life, one of those being love. Shannon Moore was never one to believe in love at first sight. He had first heard about Gemma through Beth, Jeff's girlfriend. The two girls had been friends through school until Gemma moved, and then she met Amy in ECW. The way everyone was talking about her she sounded like some heaven sent angel. Too good to be true, or so Shannon thought.
**Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried **
That much was true. Shannon never believed in love. He had been hurt too many times to believe. And then he saw her face. The first thought that entered Shannon's mind was how beautiful this girl was. She was younger than Shannon by a year, but that didn't have any affect on either of them. Gemma liked Shannon, Shannon liked Gemma, and now they were together, and he couldn't leave her if he tried.
**I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain**
Gemma had taught Shannon how to believe in love and life itself. He didn't see the point in trying to love, he was too used to getting hurt. She taught him that all good things come at a price, and unfortunately, that price is often heartbreak and pain, but if the love was real, there was no pain.
By the way things had been going for the past 6 months, this love was real. Shannon had felt nothing but love in this relationship.
**And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried **
**What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain **
He had not once doubted Gemma's love in the past 6 months, never once had to ask himself if this was worth it all. For once he believed in love.
**And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer **
Shannon Moore was a believer. Gemma had taught how to love again, and like the song goes, he couldn't leave her if he tried, because he's a believer.
