Dear Lie
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shelby took a deep breath as she looked around her dorm. The digital clock next to her bed read nine a.m. and if she didn't get to breakfast soon Peter would come looking for her. Finally, knowing it had to be done she pulled on her sketchers and headed to the lodge to join everyone for breakfast.

The dorm buzzed with students, who were all excited about going home for the summer, Shelby however, wasn't. Afterall what did she have that was so great to go home to? Somehow the thought of being reunited with her mother made her less than eager for the day to begin. She just had an awful feeling about what would happen to her once she was back in the real world with her real family and the life she left behind so long ago. She sat down next to Scott without getting any food; her thoughts of home had ruined her appetite. He smiled at her sweetly the way he always did; it was going to be a long summer without him around all the time. Sure he had his asshole moments but not seeing him everyday was a thought she wouldn't even let herself think about.

" Morning" Shelby said and kissed him gently on the cheek.

" Morning" He responded, he knew something was wrong but had learned not to push.

" Did your dad call?" Shelby asked

" Yeah, looks like we wont be having all day to our selves tomorrow like we thought, he's picking me up at like six in the morning" Scott sighed. He knew she was going to be mad and disappointed and feared telling her.

" What?" Shelby said angrily. " You mean today is the last time I'm going to see you for three months?" She bit her lip to stop from crying. " Scott you can't leave that early I wont be able to say goodbye."

" I begged him Shell, but he has some kind of business meeting and he says theirs no other way" Scott sighed seeing the sad look on her face. " I'm sorry, don't be mad at me"

" I'm not, but you can tell your father I hate him." Shelby pouted. Scott laughed at her and looked down at the empty place mat infront of Shelby.

" Why aren't you eating?" Scott asked worried.

" I'm to nervous about going home tomorrow, I cant help it I'm just not hungry" Shelby tried to convince him. He looked at her stubbornly. " Oh fine" Shelby said and took the apple off his tray. She bit into it cautiously and chewed it disgusted. " Happy?"

" Ecstatic" Scott smiled.

The sun was setting as Shelby walked out of group that night. She moaned thinking about how close she was in time to being picked up and driven back to that hell that was supposed to be her home. Her mother had called earlier and informed her that Jess was away at summer camp so it would be just the two of them, which had made Shelby dread going back even more. Scott walked down the steps of the lodge and noticed Shelby staring into space, a worried look on her face. He wrapped his arms around her from behind making her jump.

" Sorry, did I scare you?" Scott laughed a little.

" No, I was just daydreaming" Shelby smiled at him not wanting him to worry. But he could always see through her lies.

" Whatever is bothering you I am going to make you tell me tonight" Scott squeezed her a little.

" Tonight?" Shelby asked

" Meet me at the docks after Peter makes his rounds, say... midnight" Scott smiled. He kissed her neck softly and ran off to catch up with Auggie and the others who were going to change to play a football game against another group.

" You ok?" She heard a voice say behind her. She turned around quickly to see Jules walking down the stairs. " Look your not the only who is less than thrilled to being shipped out of here"

" I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me" Shelby laughed a little. " Believe it or not I'm gonna miss this place, and every little annoying part about it. Even you!" Shelby said sitting on the step. Juliet sat next to her laughing.

" Yea I love you too Shelby." Juliet smiled. " Actually, thinking about it we've gotten alone really well lately, ever since the morp anyway. We should be proud!" Juliet smiled. " I'm glad were friends though"

" What do you say, like a month from now you come visit me, I'll take you out.Come on It'll be fun?" Shelby said showing that she too was glad she and Juliet had worked out there differences.

" Sure!" Juliet squealed in her usual cheery tone. " Come on, we got a lot of packing to do"


Shelby stood in the bathroom brushing her teeth and fixing her hair. Daisy walked in without her noticing and watched her nervously play with her hair and apply lip-gloss.

" Let me guess going to meet Scott?" Daisy giggled.

" None of your business." Shelby smiled at herself in the mirror.

" Right! Well you two lovers have fun just don't wake me up when you come back in," Daisy said. She grabbed her hairbrush and walked out of the bathroom leaving Shelby just how she was when she walked in. Fixing herself nervously in anticipation of seeing Scott.

At Midnight exactly, Shelby rolled out of bed and pulled on her jeans, gray GAP sweatshirt and her sketchers. She played with her hair apprehensively. When she reached the docks Scott was already there. He looked so cute, as usual and Shelby couldn't help but smile at how the light seemed to touch his face just right. She snuck up on him and wrapped her arms around his waist this time making him jump. He turned around quickly and swept her up in his arms kissing her intensely.

" Sorry I had to do that" He said placing her back on her feet. " Now you're going to tell me why you've been so quiet all day."

" I'm just gonna miss you so much" Shelby whispered and kissed him on his neck trying to avoid the conversation.

" Nice try." Scott said stopping her. " Stop avoiding this just tell me!"

" I just really don't want to go home," Shelby said looking at the ground. She sat on the docks and looked out onto the lake. " Just the thought of the place gives me the creeps. And Jess wont even be there, my mom sent her to summer camp so that it would be just the two of us." Shelby complained. Scott sat next to her and pulled her into his lap. " Its just gonna be awful not seeing you everyday and not being able to run to you whenever I get mad" She rested her head against him and sighed. " You happy now?" She asked.

" Ecstatic." Scott said sarcastically. " You can call me whenever you need me ok, I know it wont be the same but we'll be ok" Scott said and lifted her chin so he could look into her eyes. " I can't believe I won't be able to kiss you or touch you for three months." He whispered his lips brushing against hers. He laid her down and pulled himself ontop of her. " Do you want to stop?" Scott asked sweetly.

" No" Shelby whispered back to him and pulled him back ontop of her to kiss him again

Scott woke up to his watch alarm going off in his ear. He remembered setting it yesterday so he wouldn't wake any of the guys in the morning when he had to get up. The watch read 5 a.m. He sat up before realizing where he was. Shelby rolled off of him and woke up. Scott noticed that all she wore was his T-shirt and remembered all the glorious details of the night before.

" Morning beautiful" Scott whispered and kissed her gently. " Its five, Peter will be up to come get me soon so we better get outta here before he or Sophie catch us." Scott pulled on his clothes and Shelby sat still.:" Shell come on, I don't want us to get caught." Scott pulled his wife beater over his head and looked at her.

" I'm keeping your shirt!" Shelby smiled pulling on her jeans.

" No your not that's my favorite shirt" Scott laughed.

" Please?" Shelby whispered in his ear giving him the sad face that always made him cave. " Just so that when I'm sad because I miss you I still have some of you with me, Please?" She bit her lip.

" You know you're lucky you're so damn sexy or theirs no way you would get away with this." He said. Shelby smiled and kissed him anxiously.

" I guess I better get back to my room before Peter finds us." Shelby said and Scott nodded sadly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and squeezed him tightly. The tears began to roll down her cheek as she gave him a weak 'everything will be ok' smile. " Last night was amazing, I know I'll think of it every minute I cant be with you." She said shakily through her tears.

" Please don't cry." Scott whispered.

" I love you so much" She moaned squeezing her eyes closed. Scott kissed her one last time, It was a kiss that had to last him three months, and he knew there was no way it would.

" I love you too" Scott said as there lips parted. Shelby squeezed him again nervously and ran off, she couldn't stand anymore, and wouldn't let either of them say the word goodbye, because it wasn't goodbye, right?
