New Beginnings

Chapter 16

Just so you all know, I'm very proud that my story got to the 16th chapter, and it'll probably go a lot further. I'll probably be like, 70 when I stop writing it. lol. And btw, this chapter isn't very long, but I'll have longer ones later.

Emma sat thinking on her bed. "Shawn'll have to come back sooner or later," she thought. "Because all his stuff is here." As it turned out, Shawn had rented a room at a nearby hotel, and was staying there. He had watched as the light in Emma's room went out after he left last night. It took almost an hour. He really wanted to make up with her, but he didn't know if he could trust her anymore. He wasn't sure if she was telling the truth, but even if she wasn't and he forgave her, would she lie again?

It was now Friday, and Shawn still hadn't come back. They were leaving tomorrow, and Emma figured that if Shawn didn't come back for his stuff, she would take it home with her, but she wouldn't give it back. She hadn't told her mother that they broke up, she just told her that Shawn saw some of his friends that were also vacationing here, and that he was staying with them the rest of the vacation.

Emma looked at her watch and realized that it was already 4:00 in the afternoon, and that she hadn't had lunch. She went down to the hotel restaurant and ordered a slice of pizza to go. While she was waiting she looked out the window at the hotel next door. She looked in one of the open window, and she saw Shawn. He was sitting on his bed, and it looked liked like he had been crying. He looked down, so Emma quickly looked away.

"Here's your pizza ma'am," the cashier said.

"Thank you." Emma practically ran upstairs to her room and looked out her window. Shawn's room was directly across from hers. He hadn't moved. Emma watched him for ten minutes, but then got up and turned on her laptop. She went on her MySpace where noody knew who she was and posted a bulletin. She named it, "did you hear about Shawn and Courtney?" and inside she wrote, "Shawn and Courtney were caught out side the gym last Friday and they were smoking and drinking, and they got suspended or something." The she turned off her computer. She walked over to the table in the room and ate her pizza. It was 5:30, so Emma decided to turn on the TV. She was watching Dawson's Creek reruns, but she was really tired so she dozed off. When she woke up the next morning she was back in her bed. Her mom probably moved her. She got up, quickly packed and then she and her mom left. She and Shawn would have to sit next to each other she realized, unless Shawn had gotten another flight.

She got on the plane, and who was waiting in the seat next to her?

Shawn.
