Public Arguements
After hurting Christian, leaving the building and going back to San Antonio, Shawn took a walk outside with his hands in his pockets, the words Christian spoke still burning in his mind. This was one of the worse days that Shawn could possibly be upset. Why? The weather was perfect. The sun was shining, birds were singing, everything looked colorful and fine to everyone. Everyone except Shawn, of course. He continued walking with his hands in his pockets and hung his head, looking at every step his feet took, not paying attention to what was in front of him, only what was on the ground. Eventually, Shawn bumped into someone. Shawn knocked into this woman with blond hair and brown eyes, who was pretty tall and had a good figure. Oddly, this woman looked familiar to Shawn. Shawn looked at her and helped her up. "Becky?" Shawn pulled her up to her feet. "What are you doing?" Shawn crossed his arms. "The question is, what were YOU doing? Why the heck did you hurt Christian for, Shawn? Words are words, violence is deadly." Rebecca stood right in Shawn's face, trying to get her words across. "Did you hear the words he said to me? That video is going to be AIRED, Rebecca."
"So what, Shawn? Its the truth! If you cared about me or the kids, you would have been there for them. AND for me, Shawn! Instead, you were there to 'put us in our place'. Remember that, Shawn?" Rebecca shouted right in Shawn's face. "Hey, don't yell at me! I didn't know what I was doing!" Shawn shouted back at her. "And obviously you still don't! Just leave me, the kids, and Christian alone, okay? If you expect me to at least FORGIVE you, you are going to tell me why you did what you did and you're going to apologize to Christian." Rebecca stepped away from Shawn. "I don't even know why I did what I did, Rebecca! And I am definitely not apologizing to Christian." Shawn tapped his foot on the ground. "Oh what, are you going to kick me too, Shawn? Or should I say, are you going to kick me AGAIN, Shawn? Go get some professional help." Rebecca stared him right in the eye, everyone who walked by was staring at the two. "I don't need professional help! Last time I tried that, I got hurt. Is that what you want, Becky?" Shawn didn't even notice that everyone was looking at them. "You call that professional help?! Getting therapy in a old Brooklyn building by two hoodlums who call themselves 'Cryme Tyme'?!" Rebecca started yelling at Shawn.
"No one else but us needs to know our business, Rebecca!" Shawn's face started to look angrier and angrier, matching his inside emotions. "Then why are you yelling like you are being murdered in the middle of the street then?!" Rebecca also started looking mad. "Because you are too!" Shawn stomped his foot and looked at everyone staring. "Move along, people!" Shawn bit his lip. He bit his lip so hard, it started to bleed. The people who were staring did as told and walked out of sight. "Listen, the next time you talk to me, it better be after you get help, Shawn." Rebecca started to walk away, just as the others did. Shawn grabbed her arm and turned her right back around. "I'm not getting help, Rebecca, I don't need it. I'm perfectly fine now, unlike the man that you supposedly now love. He's INSANE." Shawn wiped his lip and rubbed his temple, starting to get a headache. "Getting a migraine, Shawn? That's the good Lord himself punishing you for slandering Christian and for lying to me and yourself saying you are perfectly fine." Rebecca smirked and then rolled her eyes. "I'm getting a headache from arguing with you! I don't like arguing with you, Rebecca. Especially since I still love and care about you." Shawn clenched his teeth and closed his eyes tight, his head hurting badly.
"Yeah right. Get real, Shawn, you don't love and care about me. Thats how CHRISTIAN feels about me. If you really loved me, and if you really cared about me, you would have shown me when we were together. You would have shown me for all those years we were together, from 1999 to the time we broke up. What Christian said in that interview was the truth, and no one should be hurt since what he told was the truth." Rebecca shook her head. "And stop acting like your head is really hurting." Rebecca looked at Shawn sympathetically for all of two seconds, and then went back to looking at him sternly. "I am really hurting, Becky. Emotionally, physically, mentally, you name it. If going to therapy is what I have to do to get you back, then I will do it. But I'm telling you this right now, Rebecca. I can't and will not apologize to Christian. That is a promise that I am now making to myself, and a promise that I am now making to you. I love you, don't forget that. This won't be the last time we talk about you, Christian, myself and the children." Shawn sighed and walked off to find a place to get actual therapy, where he wont get his knee crushed by an unfortunate event like a building falling behind him as he walks out of it.
