Shawn: No...there was no...'roping', Alex. This was not a set up. I've explained it to Ewan...and I'll explain it to you....if you'll hear me out.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:13 pm

Alex: Fine. Explain.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:22 pm

Shawn: I needed to make a choice. I couldn't keep lying to myself. I will always love Erin, despite what you two may think, it's true. As far as Raquel...there was always something there. I made a choice...and I listened to my heart. That's it.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:33 pm

Alex: She's my blood Shawn..... and she wants to die.... because of you..... whatever your intentions.... how do you expect me to be OK with that?

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:36 pm

Shawn: I don't. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I made a choice, and I have to deal with the reprocussions. I want you to understand. You should. You know you should....

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:43 pm

Alex: So.... you couldn't figure this out without dragging her to Chicago?.... without telling her how much you wanted her?.... without kissing her?.... without bringing up feelings she's been trying to repress for 12 years?

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:45 pm

Shawn: You think....she was the only one?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:46 pm

Alex: No Shawn..... but You have the luxury of moving on.... SHE DOESN'T.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:52 pm

Shawn: If the roles were reversed, you would be sitting here, telling me that 'that's not her fault that you can't move on, Shawn'. Besides....I didn't see you move on...when Alexis was dating Micah, Alex....and I sure as hell didn't see Ewan move on when Jillian was with Anthony....or Hardware. You both followed your heart....you were in love. LOVE. You didn't care that Micah was hurt...your thoughts were on Alexis...and I KNOW, Ewan...

...I KNOW you didn't care about Anthony Jackson's feelings. You could only see Jillian. So it's ok for you guys....but not for me?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:58 pm

Ewan: He means she is quite literally incapable of moving on Shawn.... She was born an Edwards..... I don't know what does it.... something psychological about the way we're raised maybe? We mate for life. She will never, ever love anyone else. She will be in love with you until the day she dies.

Why do you think I allowed your relationship to continue.... after you got her pregnant then left.... why do you think I allowed you to marry her?

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:04 pm

Shawn: I'm just asking you to understand. Without judging...or condeming....I just want you to understand.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:10 pm

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: You came here expecting US.... to understand loving someone more than your wife?

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:11 pm

Raquel (via text to Shawns phone):"Shawn is everything okay? You have been gone an awful long time now. I'm getting worried. Please tell me you are alright when you can. I love you"

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:11 pm

Shawn: The exact same way Jillian asked me to understand her loving someone more than her fiancee.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:13 pm

Ewan: Why the hell are you asking me to do this....?

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:22 pm

Shawn: Cause you know I'd do the same for you....

He looks at Alex...

Shawn: ...and you. You may not concider me....but you two are family to me. Always will be. Jillian will always be my little sister, and so with Nathalie.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:27 pm

Ewan: We do.... You're my brother.... you were the best man at my wedding....

Alex: And you were going to be the best man at mine....

Ewan: But right now... and I think I speak for Alex too.... every ounce of my strength is going into stopping myself from hurting you.... like you've hurt her..... for 30 years

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:31 pm

Shawn: ...and I deserve it. I do.

Shawn is quiet for a moment...he walks out of the room and walks back in with two singlets...

Shawn: ...then...let's go.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:38 pm

Ewan: No Shawn. If I start.... I wont stop. I will not have your blood on my hands....

.... because it wont bring my sister back anyway.

Ewan walks away.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:43 pm

Shawn stands in his way...

Shawn: I know you won't....and if that's your choice, then I won't force you...or Alex. I'm sorry it came to this....I am. I am.

He then turns and heads down the stairs...

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:48 pm

Ewan drops to his knees.... and cries. Alex wants to do the same, but he knows he has to be strong for his father. He simply hugs him.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:01 pm

Alex gets a text message.

Aunt Erin is asleep, sedated. there's going to be someone watching her all the time

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:07 pm

Alex: It's Lexi..... she says Aunt Erin is stable. For now.

Ewan: What good is that going to do? I mean... if I were in her position.... I'd want to die too.

Alex sighs.

Alex: Me too dad.... me too. Come on.... we should go.

Ewan and Alex leave and head to the hospital.

Pockets Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:18 pm

Alexis hears a noise in the doorway of Erin's hospital room and turns, seeing Ewan and Alex. She runs over and hugs her fiance.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:21 pm

Alex returns the hug, tighter than he's ever hugged Alexis before. He inhales deeply as if trying to breathe her in.

Alex: Hey Lexi.
