Here We Go Again
Disclaimer: I only own my lovely OC
As soon as he saw her, Shawn's mind was flooded with a mix of memories and feelings. She hadn't aged in the seventeen years since they parted. Her blond hair was still pulled back in its usual way and she was pacing nervously. He stood still, hidden behind a potted plant. He didn't even notice Sierra standing next to him until she spoke.
"So, does she still look like she used to?"
"She's beautiful." He breathed. Suddenly, his entranced smile faded. "What am I doing? She doesn't want to see me. She probably still hates my guts."
Sierra shouldered her bag and gave him a knowing smirk. "You'd be surprised." Before Shawn could protest, she left the cover of the plant and headed towards her mom.
"Sierra Madeline O'Hara! Get over here."
"Good to see you, too."
"Don't look at me like that. You know why I'm mad." Her voice dropped to a whisper, "There are reasons why we never went back to Santa Barbara!"
"Mom, I'm seventeen. Besides, you're the one who let me go in the first place."
"I know, I know. And it's something I've been regretting ever since."
"Anyway, I brought you back a little something-or someone."
Juliet stared at her daughter, confused. Shawn took this as his cue. Stepping out of the crowd, he watched Juliet's face drop in shock.
"Hey there, Jules. What's up?"
"No." Juliet's voice was firm. "Absolutely not."
"I just thought you'd like to see each other again." Sierra explained.
"And what gave you that idea?"
"Well, for starters, did you really think I'd never looked in all of those scrapbooks of yours? He's on like every page!"
Shawn watched with mild amusement as Juliet's cheeks turned pink. "You have scrapbooks of me? Really?"
"Not just of you." She rolled her eyes. "Of Santa Barbara. Is it my fault you insisted that you be in 95% of those photos?"
"Seriously," Sierra laughed, turning to Shawn. "They're pretty hilarious. I mean, that picture of you guys going roller skating? So cute!"
"That was a long time ago." He murmured, sneaking a look at Juliet, who looked like she was about to cry- or punch something. He could never really tell. "Things changed."
"I can show them to you later," Sierra continued. "Once we get home."
"Oh, He is most certainly not staying with us." Juliet growled, breaking her silence and spinning around to face her daughter.
"Relax, Jules." Shawn sighed. He had expected this and had already took precautions. "I booked a room at a hotel."
"I was not speaking to you." She looked down. "And don't call me that."
"Look, I'm really sorry about this. I can just…"
"NO!" Sierra blurted, surprising both of them. "He came all this way. I would be rude to…"
"Fine," Juliet sighed. "Come on. But we're making a quick pit stop first."
I know it's short, but hopefully you liked it.
Next up: we meet Jule's new partner, James, and Shawn finds out the truth about Sierra. :) Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
