Soo here's the next update.

Chapter 5

Her sobs grew louder. "Go away, Shawn."

"No, Jules, I won't do that." With that he climbed into the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He felt her flinch slightly at his touch but didn't care. He pulled her closer holding on to her tightly. She turned her body around and dug her face into his chest letting her tears fall freely now. Shawn tried to soothe her with rubbing his hands over her back in a steady pace and whispering comforting words into her ear. Her sobs stopped after a while leaving her crying silently in his t-shirt.

"Do you wanna talk about it, Jules?" Shawn whispered looking down at the woman in his arms.

She took a moment before she looked about meeting his intense and concerned look. Her eyes were puffy and red and tears were still streaming down her cheeks. Shawn gently wiped away the tears with his thumb.

"It's… it's just too much for me right now." She mumbled. Shawn waited patiently for her to go on. "Declan called yesterday when we were at that bar. He… he was supposed to be on a business trip in New York but when he called he said he was in Las Vegas." She sobbed again. "He sounded drunk and I heard loud music in the background. Then he said I should congratulate him. When I asked him why he said… he said that he got married. He said she was a dancer in a club he went to and that he felt a deeper connection between them and so they got married right away." She pressed out.

"I felt so bad, Shawn. That's why I got drunk yesterday. I just couldn't handle it. I didn't want to. How could I be so wrong about him? I thought I finally found someone I could love and spend my life with and then he runs off and marries some random woman?"

"Oh, Jules, you couldn't possibly foresee that he would do something like that. Did you talk to him today? Maybe nothing really happened and he was just drunk and was telling you stuff that wasn't true." He told her while gingerly brushing a strand of hair from her face.

"He sent me a text telling me he was sorry and that one of his servants would drop of my stuff at my apartment. A text is all I get after nearly 6 months?" She asked bitterly.

"Then he didn't deserve you and he just wasn't the one for you. Think positive."

"Seriously? Think positive? That's your advice? What is there that is possibly positive about what happened?" She looked at him in disbelief.

"Well, technically you only spend 6 months with him. Imagine this happening after 2 years… It's just as I said: he wasn't the one for you. Now you won't have to waste anymore time with him. And seriously, he's a jerk if he lets you go."

"You say that now but you appeared to think differently about me all day. It felt like the past four years of friendship didn't exist to you anymore. Even after getting back here when I was drunk last night you didn't ask what was wrong. Not once. It's like you didn't…like you don't care about me." Disappointment was clear to be seen in her eyes.

"Jules, listen, I care about you. A lot actually. I didn't ask because I didn't want to push you when you're not ready to talk about it and I thought you might want to decide for yourself when to tell me. I had a hunch that this was about Declan and let's be honest your relationship with him was always a kind of a sensible topic to talk about. But don't you ever think again that I don't care about you, Jules. I'll always care and I'll always be there for you when you need me." They never broke eye contact while he spoke; Juliet was overwhelmed when she saw the forceful sincerity in his eyes. A single tear rolled down her cheek. She was so glad to finally have her Shawn back.

"Thank you, Shawn." She smiled happily at him. "So tell me, how did I end up in your shirt last night?" She asked grinning suspiciously at him now.

His cheeks turned red and he smiled sheepishly back at her. "Uh that's a loooong story and we should really get to sleep now." He winked at her and moved away letting go of her body to get back to the couch.

"Shawn? Can you… stay?" She whispered barely audible. Without losing a second he got back to his previous position wrapping his arms securely around her. Both fell asleep with a smile on their face.

The next morning…

Juliet woke up slowly not opening her eyes. She snuggle deeper into the pillow beneath her. A pillow that smelled really good. Wait! A pillow that smelled like Shawn. She opened her eyes in shock. Shawn was lying on his back while Juliet was basically lying on top of him with her head on his chest. Her left hand was on top of his heart while the other one was securely held in his left hand. His right arm was tugged around her waist holding her body in place.

She inhaled his scent one more time and sighed contently. This felt so right yet her mind was screaming at her to get up and away from him. She felt him shifting under her and couldn't stop smiling when he softly brushed his thumb over the back of her hand.

"Morning." His voice was still hoarse from sleeping.

She shifted her head and looked up to him and saw a mischievous smile playing around his lips. "Morning." She mumbled into his chest.

"Comfortable?" He asked looking at their position.

"Very." She dug her head into his chest again trying to hide her blushed cheeks.

"Will you let me get up? I'd really like to take a run before we pack our stuff together."

Her smile faded instantly (of course he couldn't see that because her head was still buried in his chest). Ever since their talk last night she thought she had found old Shawn but old Shawn wouldn't get up to take a run at 6 in the morning voluntarily.

"You can come with me if you like." He suggested not sure how to interpret her silence.

"No, it's okay. I think I'll just take a long shower and I guess I have some thinking to do." She mumbled into his chest.

"I will stay if you want to talk to someone?" He looked down letting his fingers brush tenderly through her hair.

"That's really sweet but I need some time alone to… you know… sort some things out." She said placing her chin on his chest and looking directly into his eyes.

"Alright, I'll have my phone with me if you need me. But you know you kind of have to get off of me so I can get up." He smirked at her.

She hesitated for a second but eventually rolled off of him with their hands still entwined. Instantly missing the warmth of his body she shivered slightly. Shawn got up letting go of her hand and taking a blanket to cover up her body. He stood in front of the bed for a second looking down at the young detective with a smile sprawled on his face.

One and a half hour later they were both showered and sat at the table in their room sipping coffee and eating bagels that Shawn had brought back from his run.

"We need to go by the station to fill out some paper work before we get to the airport but it shouldn't take too long." Juliet said between two bites. Shawn just nodded in response much to Juliet's distress. Even though he smiled more often while being around her she could still see that sometimes it was a forced smile and he remained awfully quiet despite his efforts to seem normal. She could always see it in his eyes when his wasn't his normal self.
