Shawn and Fairy are now 14. They are best friends. Fairy is 4'11" still has her bright hair. Shawn is growing a lot.
Fairy's POV
"Mom! I'm home!" I shout dropping my bag on the chair.
"Mom?!" I shout walking to the kitchen.
I walk in the kitchen. Her favorite mug is shattered on the floor. Tea is spilled everywhere.
I freeze.
"Fairy?" Shawn says from the back yard.
He can see me, I know he can. I don't move.
"Fairy!!" Shawn shouts jogging to the sliding glass door.
He tries to get in, but the door is locked.
"He sprints away. I hear the front door open and slam shut.
"Fairy." Shawn says jogging towards me.
"Something is wrong." I say slowly.
"Why? How do you know?" Shawn asks.
"My mom's mug." I say.
Shawn looks down.
He grabs my hand and pulls me out of the house.
He pulls me over to his house.
"Mom!" Shawn shouts opening his front door.
"Yes Shawn?" His mom says walking into the front room.
She stops seeing me.
"Fairy." She says.
"Hi." I say quietly.
She grabs the car keys.
"Shawn, Fairy. Come with me. Now." She says.
We get into the car.
"Mom, what's going on?" Shawn says.
She takes a deep breathe.
"Early today a ambulance was at your house, Fairy." Shawn's Mom says.
Shawn squeezes my hand.
"I just wasn't thinking until you and Shawn came inside a few minutes ago." She says.
We ride the rest of the way in silence.
Once the car is parked we all jump out of the car.
I see my dad pacing in the waiting room.
I let go of Shawn's hand and run to my dad.
"What's going on?" I say hugging him.
"I got a call, saying mom collapsed when she was on the phone with her sister." Dad says.
"How is she?" Shawn's Mom asks.
My dad shakes his head and starts crying.
Mrs. Mendes puts her hand over her mouth and shakes her head.
My dad nods.
"She was gone before they got her to the hospital." He says.
I run. I run out of the hospital.
Tears streaming down my face.
"Fairy!!" Shawn shouts running after me.
Shawn gives up once I turn into the woods.
I jump over a fallens tree and my right foot lands on a rock.
I pick myself up of the ground and continue running.
I get back to the road and jog to my house.
I go to the kitchen. I grab a box out of the closet and fill it with the broken piece of the mug.
I take the box up to my parent's room. I grab my mom's perfume and put it in the box along with the pieces. I go to my room.
"Fairy." Shawn says out of breathe in the doorway.
I turn around and I'm engulfed in a warm hug.
Shawn doesn't say anything. He just rubs my back slowly.
I cry into his chest. I feel tears drip on my head.
My mom was like Shawn's second mom.
"Can you stay tonight?" I ask Shawn quietly.
"I wasn't planning on leaving you Fairy." Shawn says softly.
I turn to sit on my bed.
"Ow." I say.
"Your ankle is swollen." Shawn says.
He gets his mom to wrap it.
"Just a sprain." She says hugging me tightly.
"Stay off of it as much as possible." She says.
Shawn's POV
"Hangout in 10?" I shout to Fairy as she walks up her driveway.
"Yeah!" She shouts back.
I smile.
"Hey mom!" I shout opening the door.
"How was school?" Mom asks.
"Good! I'm going to hang out with Fairy." I say.
"Okay! Be back for supper." Mom says.
I jog over to her back door.
Yeah I'm early but it don't matter.
She's just standing in the kitchen, staring at the floor.
"Fairy!" I shout, she doesn't budge.
I sprint around to the front and thankfully the door is unlocked.
"Fairy." I say jogging towards her
"Something is wrong." She says slowly.
"Why? How do you know?" I ask worrying.
"My mom's mug." She says looking at the ground.
I look down. Her Mom's Favorite mug, shattered.
I grab Fairy's hand and pull her to my house.
"Mom!" I shout.
"Yes Shawn?" My mom says from the other room
She stops when she sees Fairy.
"Fairy." She says.
"Hi." Fairy says quietly.
She grabs the car keys.
"Shawn, Fairy. Come with me. Now." She says.
We get into the car.
"Mom, what's going on?" I ask.
She takes a deep breathe.
"Early today an ambulance was at your house, Fairy." My Mom says.
I squeeze Fairy's hand.
"I just wasn't thinking until you and Shawn came inside a few minutes ago." She says.
We ride the rest of the way in silence.
Once the car is parked we all jump out of the car.
I see Fairy's dad pacing in the waiting room.
Fairy lets go of my hand and runs to her dad.
"What's going on?" She asks hugging him.
"I got a call, saying mom collapsed when she was on the phone with her sister." He says.
"How is she?" My Mom asks.
Fairy's dad shakes his head and starts crying.
My Mom puts her hand over her mouth and shakes her head.
Fairy's dad nods.
"She was gone before they got her to the hospital." He says.
Fairy turns and runs out of the hospital. Her dad moves to go after her.
"No, you stay here, Shawn, go." My mom says.
I sprint out of the hospital.
"Fairy!!" I shout running after her.
She turns and runs into the woods. I keep running on the road to her house.
I approach her house. I run inside and begin to look for her.
I run up to her room.
"Fairy." I say out of breath.
Her back is to me. I walk over to her. She turns around and I hug her tightly.
I feel my shirt getting wet. A few of my own tears drip onto her head.
I rub her back slowly.
"Can you stay tonight?" Fairy asks me quietly.
"I wasn't planning on leaving you Fairy." I say softly.
