Mine Forever Part 7


***Sorry this chapter is so short. I was having a mild case of writer's block. The next chapter will be much better! ~Elysian***




Daisy and Ezra freeze in their spots. What are they going to do now? Ezra certainly can't tell the real reason why he was in Peter's office.

"I left my watch in there last night and I just went in there to get it," Ezra says quickly holding up his wrist with his watch on it.

"And I just came with him," Daisy adds.

Jeff gives them a suspecting look, but lets it slide. He's too worried about Scott and Shelby anyway.

"Married?" Bing asks in surprise. "Aren't you two a bit young to be gettin' married?"

"We love each other," Scott replies with certainty.

Peter, Curtis, Sophie, and Roger all meet up at 2:00 in the afternoon.

"Anything?" Peter asks hopefully.

The other three shake their heads no.

"Nobody's seen anything," Sophie says starting to sound a little discouraged. "Shelby's used to being on the streets. She knows the ropes. She know how to not get found."

They agree to meet at 8:00 again that night.

Scott and Shelby both fight to keep their eyes open. They are both now wishing they had never taken a ride from Bing. He had been babbling on for hours about his boring life. But they have to put up with it; he's their only ride.

"You guys have a dream job?" Bing asks.

"Football," Scott answers without hesitation.

Shelby's never thought too much about her future. She has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She just shrugs her shoulders.

"I've had a dream fer a whole year," Bing continues. "I really like country music. Good, ole country music. None of that Dixie Chick stuff. Although they's is some cute little things. I've been ahopin' that them N'Sync boys change their style a music. Go country or sompin'. Then I can sing back up fer 'em. That there's my dream."

Scott and Shelby just give each other amused looks. Now more than ever they can't wait to get to Vegas......

Shelby leans against Scott's shoulder and soon falls asleep.
