Shawn's POV

I watched my beautiful, now ex-girlfriend Maria walk along the rocks on the beach from a distance, kicking the odd one away from her. She stood alone, her hands in the pockets of her jeans. Right now I was hiding in my car so she couldn't spot me.

One night me and Maria had an argument, and it was so bad it caused us to break up. I wanted her back more than ever, and I knew she felt the same. The way her eyes were filled with nothing but emptiness told me she felt lonely; and with out her I felt the same.

Fuck it. I thought, stepping out of my car to walk on the beach. There was no way to try and get her back by sitting around. I need to at least try.

I ran down onto the sand, kicking it behind my feet after every step. Sand had gotten into my shoe, which is the worst feeling in the world, but it was worth it. Anything was worth getting Maria back.

She carried her shoes in her hands whilst kicking the sand gently with her feet. She was now only a few meters away from me, me being behind her so she couldn't see me.

I tried to keep my pants for breathe quiet, which of course failed once I knew I was caught. She spun herself around, gasping at the sight of me. Her eyes went wide, almost as if she couldn't believe it was me.

"S-Shawn? What are you doing here?" She whispered, her breathing unsteady from shock.

"I've made mistakes, I could've treated you better," I started, taking a step closer to her.

"I already know that," She muttered, crossing her hands across her chest.

"Tell me why? Why can't we try and start again," I asked.

"I-I just can't, Shawn," She mumbled, her voice cracking from emotion. Her big orbs turned glossy, and she looked down at the floor. A spark of hope had dissolved in my heart at her reply.

It pained me to see her upset, I just wanted to wrap my arms around her and tell her everything's okay.

"Please baby, ain't no body gonna love like the way you do, and you're never gonna find another love like mine," I spoke in a pained voice, my emotions all over the place.

She squinted her eyes closed and turned away, drawing out a long breathe. When I knew she wasn't going to reply, I added. "Tell me, what can I do to make it up to you, Maria? 'Cause what we had was too good to say goodbye,"

"Shawn, I'm sorry. But I can't, this is too much for me to handle," She sighed, and I knew she'd reached her breaking point. I watched the small tear escape from the corner of her eye and rolled down her pale face. This was my fault she was crying.

"B-but I still love you!" I cried out, feeling my eyes well up. She took a step away from me, and prepared herself for what she had to say next.

"And I still love you, but-" I cut her off.

"I knew you felt the same, so what's the point of both of us being broken hearted?" I asked confused, different emotions popping up from nowhere. I reached out to grab her hand, only for her to quickly pull her hand away, as if my touch was toxic.

"That's the point, Shawn! I'm not broken hearted anymore! I may still love you, and I always will, but It's too late. I have moved on. And you should too," She yelled, more tears escaping her gorgeous eyes. She shifted herself and turned around, walking away in the opposite direction.

'What are you doing? Go after her you fool!' A voice spoke in my head, but I couldn't get myself to listen. She didn't want us to be together again, She'd moved on.

"But, what we had was too good to let go, it is too good to say goodbye," I whispered to myself, now allowing the drips of water fall from my eyes. She got further and further away from me, and my heart shattered even more with every step she took.

Sometimes, you can love someone and want to be with them forever, but at the end of the day; maybe it's for the best to let them go. And not just for you, for them too.

I hope this is what you was hoping for Maria! Byee
