Here We Go Again
Disclaimer: I is owning nothing.
Now on to the story!!!!
"So this is where you work?" Shawn took a moment to look around the spacious, sunlit lobby of the Miami Police Department. It was certainly different from its Santa Barbara counterpart. After getting Shawn a guest pass, they were met by a tall, handsome blond man. Instantly, Shawn felt that he was not to be trusted.
"Julie," the man cooed. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your guest?"
"Oh, yes. Shawn, this is James, my partner. James, I'd like you meet Shawn Spencer, an old friend of mine from California."
"Well," James smiled "any friend of Julie's is a friend of mine." He turned to face Juliet. "Matherson asked if you'd finished that report yet. I covered for you but you should probably…"
"Ok, thanks. I'll be just a second." And then she was gone, her blonde ponytail disappearing as she turned the corner. As soon as she was out of sight, James' whole demeanor changed drastically.
"Well, well, well." He sneered at Sierra. "The prodigal child returns. Thought I'd gotten rid of you for sure with that trip to California. Almost convinced your mother to send you to boarding school. God knows life would be better without you here, you little…"
"Don't talk to her like that!" Shawn snapped, shielding Sierra from James' cruel gaze.
"You're one to talk, Mr. Fake Psychic. Don't think I didn't read your file." Noting Shawn's silence, he continued. "She's better off without you, you know. She has a real man now, one who can take care of her."
"You don't know anything." Shawn shot back, stepping forward angrily.
"What is going on?" Juliet asked, hurrying back from her desk.
"Nothing, Julie." James smiled sweetly, his rough and condescending manner vanishing into thin air. "I was just about to tell Shawn here the good news."
"What good news?" Shawn asked, his eyes never leaving James.
Juliet forced a smile. "James and I are getting married."
Later, as they left the police station, Shawn signaled to Sierra for them to walk a little ways behind Juliet.
"You never told me she was engaged!" he whispered.
"You never asked." she stated.
"Yeah, but, never mind. What did you mean before when you said she was in danger."
"Isn't it obvious? It's James! He's slimy, mean, and two-faced. And he's trying to get me sent to boarding school!"
"But what do I have to do with all this?"
"My mom loved you and I think she still kind of does. I figured that if I got you to come back to Miami with me, there would be a chance that…" her voice trailed off.
"That she'd leave James and get back with me? Wow…impressive."
"So you'll do it?" Sierra smiled hopefully.
"I don't know." He admitted. "I really messed things up with your mom. I'm just not sure if she's forgiven me."
"I understand." She nodded. "Anyway, it was really nice to finally meet you. I know it doesn't seem like it, but my mom has actually told me a lot about you. I feel like I've know you my whole life."
And strangely, Shawn felt the same way.
After he had found a cab and was on his way to the hotel, Shawn flipped open his cell phone, dialed the familiar number, and waited.
"Hey, dude. No, don't hang up! I need your help. No, I'm not in jail. Yeah, I know you said…look, it's about Juliet. She's about to marry this creep. I need to…yeah, I know. Just this once? Please?"
He let out a small sigh. "Thanks Gus, this really means a lot to me."
As his best friend continued to talk, Shawn couldn't help but let a cocky smile spread across his face. Psych was back.
Yay! Gus is coming! lol
Thanks for reading! :) Please review!
PS. the title was inspired by the Demi Lovato song "Here We Go Again". Not only is Demi an amazing artist, but the song really relates to the story. So if you want, head over to youtube or somewhere and take a listen. I promise, you will not regret it ;)
