Fate Part 9



"Shelby?" Ezra says timidly knocking on her dorm door.

He doesn't hear an answer, so he slowly pushes the door open and walks inside. Shelby is sitting cross-legged on her bed, staring straight ahead. He could tell she had been crying because her eyes were all red and puffy.

"Shelby?" he asks again.

"What do you want?" she sniffs.

"I just wanted to see if you were ok."

"You've already ruined my life today." She hated feeling vulnerable like this.

He sits down on the bed across from her. "I didn't mean to tell him."

"Well, Ezra, you did tell him. And now he hates me. That kiss wasn't even supposed to mean anything."

"I know," he sighs. "I know you were just trying to make me feel better about Daisy. But that kiss meant more to me, Shelby. I felt something in that kiss. I was hoping you did, too."

He waits for an answer, but she doesn't say anything. She just sits and stares at her hands.

Finally, she lifts her head. "Yes," she whispers. "I felt something. I just didn't want to believe it."

Ezra moves and sits on the bed next to her. "Maybe we were meant to be together after all."

Shelby gives a small smile and leans her head on his shoulder. "Yeah, maybe we are."

The End

***Author's Note***
Thanks to everyone for reading my story. You'll all know what happened with Shelby and Ezra if you had read my story "After Horizon". I hope you all don't hate me now for splitting up Scott and Shelby. :) I promise in my next story, which I'm starting soon, Scott and Shelby will be a very happy couple.
