Destined Desire
Chapter 4: Tragedy Strikes




"This is how I felt the first time with the thought of ever going to one of them" he thought as he stood huddled over the bed and watched as the doctors worked feverishly to revive the only and probably last girl he'd ever love. The only who had always been his true love.

But it was too late her time had expired. He knew it was coming. There was the one time hinted toward a future ending liking this. If only if he paid more attentions instead of trying to change himself so much. He probably would of saw her own turmoil had he not been so wrapped in a place that knew no sunshine. And going back to the day that gave way to the first hint, he realized that was the actual first day he had made that change by leaving his past…….
****************

Shawn knew he wouldn't be able to handle the sound of beeping machinery his ex-fiancé would be plugged into. Nor would he be able to handle what little comfort being in a hospital would bring. His mood was already damper and the thought of going to that type of place had been out of his mind.

Soon he would be arriving to another destination outside of Salem and what it held for him, which was nothing. Nothing could ever make him go back and nothing was holding him back from making a change for the better. Nothing would stop him following the path he would take once he arrived in New York with Chloe.

It might take her awhile to adjust to his new attitude but through time she would have to learn to accept it. He had called her a half a hour in advance to let her know to be accepting him soon, but there was a few things he would need to pick up at the store.

His new wardrobe for starter's, he had once been a rebel when he had first met Chloe, under circumstances like family gatherings he would thank and praise his change because of Belle, but it hadn't been her that saw the darkness of his soul. She would never understand the depth in which Chloe would travel.

Hitting up any and all rugged dress shops once he had finished with his shopping escapade he took a taxi over to Chloe's.

When he finally made it to her place he remembered being flushed with feeling of sorrow. Like there was a bad energy being exhibited to the whole apartment and that there a bad vibe being rumbled upon.

Ringing the doorbell and then knocking on the door lightly, it took her, someone of Chloe's youth and pact longer than usual to even respond to the sound of the doorbell of the knock. Another few minutes went by before she came scurrying across the floor to open the door. When she did open it, she was shocked beyond words.

Not only had she been in shock, so had Shawn. Chloe had did some growing and her full figured your body looked even more breathtaking but her physical traits were all in tact. It was her eyes that gave way to believe something deeper was wrong. A root of undiscovered truth that she had been concealing to all. But in her eyes could he see and know that she was hiding something.

Her eyes appeared to be drab but that could be due to lack of sleep or all that had happened. In either case it was taking a toll to her mental state whether she fessed up to it or not.

It had been a quite moment of stares before Shawn enveloped her into a deep hug, "It's been too long" he whispered to her ear.

"yeah too long," she said as she hugged him tighter and felt herself weaken in more than one way. Her body melted to his touch but her body was still so very weak from her health. But hugging Shawn the way she had made it all vanquish.

After all the pleasantries and catching up the two sat on the couch catching up to the old times of fun. Occasionally, but only in their minds, the times of missed occasions occurred. Missed kisses and the near fatal attractions to go further than just a dance, or just a hug would happen when the two were in there own world of love, pain, passion, desire, and built up heat.

It was about 10:57 PM when they had been watching "American Pie 2" and laughing at the actions one would go to just to masturbate when the phone rang.

Chloe answered it and her look went down as she was fed the news to her ears.

Shawn lightly listened, but as much as he knew was that she was speaking to Mr. Black, or John to him or would have been father. But no that was now ages ago to him and so it didn't even matter anymore.

Once the phone call ended Chloe walked over to the couch and sat back down so quietly and very to herself. She was like a zombie staring blankly to empty surroundings, her eyes said nothing. But without help her eyes flew back and she passed out. Her body was limp in Shawn's arm and he rocked her body back and forth as her head bobbed as loose as a slinky. Something was wrong but could it had been the phone call that upset her so or was it something else. His first attentions to how she reacted when she had finally answered the door.

After the assistance of some water and light tapping to her cheek she finally raised a lid lazily.

"Chloe, what's wrong? Why did you just pass out just like that then?"

"She's dead and he's probably mad at me. You know he blamed me, it's all my fault."

"What Chloe, who's dead?"

"The baby, she lost her baby and if I know Belle. It's my fault."

"How is it your fault, I still don't understand"

"There was once a time in which I told Belle my true feelings about you. It didn't go over well no, not at all, but she sent Brady. Now the dream is gone, your gone, you're hers not mine. No you could never be mine."

And she began to doze off again. She was vulnerable and quite out of it. But Shawn had the balls so he asked her, "Why?"

"Because she would use my love for you against me to hurt me, that's why I'm moved so you would never know. You would never know about…" and she went to sleep.

Shawn was confused but knew it wasn't the time to dread on what Chloe had been saying. He didn't even know how to feel about what she revealed about Belle's actions nor the fact that Belle had just lost her and Jason's love child.

"The universe works in mysteries ways" he thought. Because Belle would know more pain at her own lost. What goes around comes around and now because of it, she lost her child. Which hurt Shawn because he still felt as if that child was his in some ways.

That night he slept with Chloe in his arms and carried the two to a disturbing sleep of recurrences…
