6 Shawn

The next day early in the morning Shawna plotted how she was going to deal with Shawn. "Ok I am not going to kill Shawn. Let's get that out of my head first. Although it depends on the type of person Shawn is. I am willing to spare him if he regretted his actions" Shawna said nervously.

A clone of Shawna suddenly appeared beside her in bed and wrapped her hands around her. "Hello dear" The One teased.

"You're back already, what are you doing here?" Shawna asked surprised.

"I am just glad at your decision just now that's all. You've already scarred the city and even the whole world with your last stunt. Everything will eventually be traced back to you in the end if you just kill everyone you hate. People hate other people, it's natural. That is not a reason to kill them" The One reminded.

"Why are you telling me this? I already said I wasn't going to kill Shawn" said Shawna.

"It's a reminder. Later on when you start abusing your power more often you will forget what I said trust me. It always happens" The One sighed. She disappeared leaving no trace of her behind.

Later on that day around 4 pm Cj and Shawna met up with Shawn in a café next to Heathens Arcade. Shawn had snow white hair, grey eyes, piercings on his ears on a lion tattoo on his right shoulder. On first impression alone Shawna could tell Shawn isn't a force to be reckoned with. "He's just a softy trying to look tough to scare of any thug. The real deal will see right through his act" Shawna thought to herself.

"Evening Shawna, Cj" Shawn greeted happily. "Evening" They greeted back.

"So cut to the chase please. What did you want to meet me for?" Cj asked.

"I am glad Shawna is here too. I want to lift some weight off my chest you know" Shawn said with a yawn. A waiter walked up to them and gave Shawn three slices of cake. "Yummy, you guys have got to try this cheese cake. It's to die for" Shawn said changing the subject really quickly. As Shawna was about to go for a slice she realized Shawn intended to eat the three slice all on his own. "Sooooooo Good" Shawn complimented. As his cheeks went red and his voice let out laughter all the heat Shawna had for Shawn gradually withered away. She herself bought a slice of cheese cake to see what the fuss was about. When she took a bite her taste buds started dancing inside her mouth with joy. The two tried convincing Cj to buy one for himself but he declined. "Shawn! This is not what I am here for. Plus I don't eat cheese cake" Cj said seriously.

"Excuse me! You came to a café not to eat sweets or to drink coffee? Then why are you here?!" Shawn asked shockingly.

"Because of you, you ass. Get serious" Cj said annoyed.

"Mhmmm, try buying red velvet or something. Since you're here" Shawna suggested.

"Shawn is inside the name Shawna. Can I be inside you?" Shawn asked. Shawna's smile withered away as she stood up about to leave. "Hey don't! I was joking!" Shawn blurted. They finally got serious after eating their slices. "I want to tell guys the truth. It's the least I can do for Terry's best friend and girlfriend." Shawn said nervously.

"For years Terry and I have been athletes. We competed against each other to represent our schools in middle school and Terry always won damn it! I got fed up with him one day you know and picked a fight with him. I was just so frustrated at the time" Shawn said scratching his head.

"You were jealous of him" Shawna said calmly.

"Yeah pretty much, so much so in fact I pushed him out of spite knowing that a truck was coming its way. Pretty brutal huh!" Shawn sighed. Shawna bends the silver spoon in her hand and gave Shawn a terrifying glare. "Care to repeat that?" Shawna threatened.

"I pushed him out of spite" Shawn repeated.

"Yep, he dug his grave" Shawna said immediately starting to think of ways to kill Shawn. Shawn continued his story. "He got hospitalized because of me. I didn't feel bad at first because I didn't understand the situation fully. I thought he'd just heal up and start running again but I was wrong. It turns out he's been a weak person ever since he was little. I didn't know, I was lucky I wasn't charge for murder or worse that he died" Shawn sighed relieved.

"Did you learn your lesson?" Cj asked.

"Of course, I would never do that again no matter how jealous I am. I thought about it back then and I realized something" Shawn said keeping a straight face.

"I sin that day. I almost killed someone. I almost took his life; I took the most important thing to him. The ability to walk, to run. To take from another is a sin they say. Well if they're right then I am an evil bastard" Shawn joked.

"You're not the only one though. What's so special about the act of taking from others? Don't think of yourself as evil among everyone. You're normal" Cj said confidently. "Hmm you're right, anyways after I understood how bad the situation was. My close friend won't be able to walk because of me. The least I could do is pay for his hospital fee. I made sure that his mother didn't have to spend a dime on her son. A way to repent for what I did even though I know it won't be enough. Two months ago I finally mustered enough courage to meet Terry eye to eye. For three years I was afraid to see him. Something told me that morning that I should go visit him. A gut feeling maybe" Terry said. He took a deep breath for what he was about to say next.

Sobs!

Tears began forming in Shawn's eyes as he looked intensely at the table. "I… I thought he would hate me" Shawn said starting to shiver. His lips trembles and his voice tone became lower. He was on the verge on breaking into tears. Shawna wasn't up for his crap so she pulled onto his hair. "Talk! No one wants to see you cry" she said harshly. Her behavior took Cj by surprise a little. "That's out of character for a weakling like you" Cj said softly but enough for Shawna to hear.

"I asked Terry if he hated me and he said he forgave me a long time ago. He even thanked me for paying for his surgery. Who the hell does he think he is" Shawn said sadly. Shawna grinned and added "You're lucky Terry is such a dear. I certainly would have end you"

"Shawna, where are you?" Cj wondered.

"She's changed but for the better or for the worst" Cj asked himself. Shawna could hear every word he was saying. "We tried our best to catch up that one morning. I even tried to call Shawna so Terry could introduce me to her but she didn't pick up her phone and as for Cj he hung up after saying hi" Shawn stated.

"That's good and all but is that really what you wanted to lift off your chest. It better not" Said Cj.

"How did Terry die?" Shawna asked.

"We did a race from the hospital to the bus park that's 120 km away" said Shawn.

Cj and Shawna looked at him as if he was insane. "No wonder his heart stopped you fool. You made a weak, sickly boy ran a race. The most he could do was run around the hospital" Shawna said enraged. "Terry is the one that suggested the race I bet. He saw his old athlete buddy and the thought of racing him jumped in his mind. He took it too far and now he's dead. I didn't expect Terry to go out like this at all" Cj said certainly. Shawn nodded in agreement.

"Some of the doctors know but they are willing to keep it secret for my sake soo" Shawn stopped talking when he realized the intense atmosphere Shawna was giving him. "It's been so long since I've heard his voice. Talk to him, laugh with him, play games, read books, kiss, all of that ended because you were dumb enough to accept his request to race" Shawna said out loud.

"That's not fair Shawna. Knowing Terry he forced his way on Shawn to do it. He's suffering from this enough as it is so don't pressure him" Cj said worriedly.

"NO!"

"I've heard enough to know that his days are numbered" Shawna said upsettingly. Cj head-butted Shawna and groaned. "Careful what you're saying! His days aren't numbered. Are you going to kill him? The innocent looking Shawna would dare to spill blood" Cj stated. They stared at each other for almost half a minute until Shawn clapped his hands.

"Well I'm so happy that I had this talk with you two. You were his best friends while he was at the hospital. Kept his company when his family isn't around" said Shawn.

"When you weren't around either you cowardly bitch!" Shawna said harshly. Cj head-butted her again and said "Mind your manners, being strong doesn't mean being rude. You are still weak".

"That's all you keep on saying, Weak this, Weak that, stop taking set on me" Shawna complained. "Not until I see improvement. People's perception of you won't change if you yourself don't. If you want my impression of you to change then change damn it. Unless you couldn't care less what other people think" Cj said.

Shawna remained silent around the table taking in what she just heard. "Change! Only if he knew how much I've changed since I've gotten the gift of invisibility. I could kill you two or make your lives miserable anytime I want" Shawna thought to herself. The three parted ways with Shawna changing her mind about Shawn.

"I spoke too much! Now if I kill Shawn I will definitely be a suspect in Cj's eyes and he wouldn't hesitate to tell the police. I want him so badly though. He's such an idiot; I lost my Terry for this! Damn it all I'll just take care of Cj too. He's been getting on my nerves anyways" Shawna shouted in her head. The One warned her about killing people based on hatred.

"Still I should think this through. Is Shawn a person to kill!"
