Happily Ever After? -

Dear Shannon,

I'm sure this wasn't what you were expecting when you came down here for my wedding. Knowing you, you probably came down here to sweep me off my feet and take me back to North Carolina so that we can live happily ever after. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you again, but that won't be happening.

Looking back on the decisions that I've made, I realized that I hurt to many people along the way to get the thing that I thought that I wanted. I don't deserve my happily ever after, and most of all, I don't deserve you. You're everything that I've ever wanted in man, but I was to selfish to even realize this. I took you, and everything that we ever had for granted.

I'll never stop loving Shannon, but you're too good for me and I don't deserve you. Not after all the pain that I've caused you. Because I've hurt you so badly, in return I must let you go, causing the most pain I've felt before in my life. This was not an easy decision that I had to make, but it was necessary. Necessary, for you and for me. I never planned for things to turn out like this, but they did, and now we must deal with the card that we have been dealt.

I'll always love you Shannon, and the moments that we've spent together will forever be cherished in my heart. I'll never forget you.

With Love,

Delilah

(Six Months Later)

Shannon's POV

"It's good to be home." I mumble, stepping into my house after two weeks of being on the road.

"Hey sweetheart." I smile, looking down at the blond who has emerged from upstairs. "I've missed you."

"Missed you too Rachel." I say giving a kiss to my girlfriend of two months.

"You got a message a little a while ago, the person said it was important."

"Who was it?" I ask beginning to unbutton her top.

"Some lady named Daniel." She replies beginning to kiss me on the neck.

"Delilah?" I mumble, stopping what I was doing and heading towards the answering machine.

"Uhhh. Hey. Shannon. It's umm. It's Daniel. Can you call me back when you get this, it's kind of important, or don't I'll understand why. So uhh, yeah. Bye."

The message stops, and I just stand there stunned, not knowing what to do.

End of Shannon's POV

------

I sigh, hanging up the phone as I exit the plane, and go into the terminal, immediately smile when I see who is waiting for me.

"HI!" The voice says and I groan as I'm pulled into a bear hug by my best friend Jake.

"Jake. Let go, can't breathe." I mutter into his chest as we stand in the middle of the airport.

"Don't care. I've missed you. You go m.i.a for six months, without a call, text, or e-mail and don't expect a reaction like this." Jake says, pulling away from me, but moments later I'm pulled into his side as he wraps his arms around my shoulders.

"I've missed you too." I reply giggling as we walk towards the baggage claim.

"So you went to Italy for six months, why am I not surprised?"

"Cause you know me so well."

"That's what I though until you bizerck and leave the country without anybody knowing. Do you realize how many people were worried about you?"

"I know Jake, I know. I just needed some me time."

"Well Shannon has been looking for you. Have you talked to him?"

"I just left him a message. I honestly don't think he wants to talk to me. Can you blame him?"

"What's going to happen between you two?"

"I honestly don't know Jake." I reply grabbing my bag and following Jake out of LAX and into the sunny noisy streets of L.A.

Leaving the airport, I don't look back at this year's events, that had finally led to this conclusion. I take in stride, and realize that it was finally time to put me back together.

Welcome home Daniel.

Well that's the end. Hope you enjoyed it. Once again don't forget to keep a look out for the sequel.

And leave reviews.

Peace & Love. - Missy.
