So I have kind of an idea for something somewhat recentish. It woulda been in the last year or two and it would have started out with them both being into partying and drinking. Shawn has been a fairly heavy drinker since he was a teenager due to past traumas. It would've started out all hunky dory but as it has with his past relationships, they got tired of dealing with his over drinking and inability to take anything very seriously. It would have all come to a head on his 23rd birthday and they probably broke up which is what forced Shawn to finally get help and clean but obviously too late to really salvage things after he'd been fucking up for so long. Sorry that is a novel haha and if there's anything you don't like oooor would like to add I am prettt flexible :)
