Disclaimer- I do not own any of the higher Ground characters. I wish I did sometimes but sadly I don't. I am not using this fanfic for money. Blah blah blah.
Note: This story includes bits of info from Exposed, Innocents, and Because it's there. Scott is pressuring Shelby to talk about that past in the same way she pressured him to talk about his. It makes them closer together and things smooth out
Scott and Shelby were sitting by the lake. They were looking at the water, not talking. Occasionally Scott would throw a rock into the water and watch it skip along it. He had gotten up to about four skips before it sank.
"Shelby talk to Me." he said finally.
"Talk about what Scott, my life. I told it all to you." she said to him.
He sat down next to her. He looked at Shelby's face. The face of the girl he was beginning to love, maybe even already love so much. And all that she had been telling him, he knew there was still a lot she wasn't.
"No you didn't Shel. You kept prodding me until I told. And I will till you tell me. And the truth has to come out. That's what you said. And you won't talk about It." he said to her seriously.
"Whatever Scott." She said and got up.
Scott grabbed her arm. At first he didn't say anything and she looked him straight in the eyes.
"What Scott, you gonna give me another lecture?" She said.
"What did it feel like?" he asked her softly. In the same voice she had used on him many times before.
"Wha... What?!?! What do you mean what did it feel like? What did what feel like?" she said taken aback and she pulled away from him.
"What did it feel like? When he would come into your room, were you scared? When he was doing things to you. What did you fear?" He said to her.
"I...I don't wanna talk about this now Scott." she said and she started to walk away.
"Shelby!" he said running after her. "You are going to talk about it now. Your going to tell me how you felt. How you feel. I'll tell you. You tell me. Now sit down," he said to her forcefully, in a tone he had never used to her before.
Shelby sat down. They were on the bridge by now (you know the bridge where Hannah and Isaac talked). She didn't know what to make of his voice. Was he angry with her? Was he scared of something? Was he concerned? Or was he just being a jerk?
"I remember the first time she kissed me. I mean in that way. I was swimming in the pool. And she was there in a bikini. It was black and had little pink and purple flowers on it. I thought she looked really hot in it. Man was I stupid." he said stopping for a minute. He wasn't just talking to her he was reflecting on the past.
Shelby looked at him. What was he trying to do?
"Anyway. I went swimming and I got out cause I was hot and I wanted like a drink or something. So as I walked past her, I was this like look in her eyes. It was different. Like she was eyeing me. You know looking at me like a piece of meat or something. I tried to ignore it but it was weird, and I mean it felt kind of special but it wasn't. I told her I was going inside to get a drink and I asked Elaine if she wanted anything and she said no. So I went inside and as I was getting a glass from the cupboard I felt warm hands on my Shoulders. They started massaging my shoulders. I turned around and there was Elaine. I was startled and dropped the glass I had gotten. I bent to pick up the pieces and cut my finger. It started bleeding. 'Here let me kiss it for you.' she said and I thought she was joking. That was only something my mom did for me when I was little. But she did. She kissed my finger and then looked up to me. She kissed me on the cheek. I didn't back away. I guess I was stunned, maybe even flattered. But then she kissed me on the lips. And not one of that little pecks that you get from your great aunt Irene or anything. I mean it was long and her tongue was in my mouth. And I kissed her back. We like.. Tongued and kissed and she didn't stop. I didn't either, I mean I didn't know what to expect. This was my first time kissing like that and I don't know. I wanted to see what would happen."
"Then I remember the first time I told her 'no' and she didn't stop. I was in my bedroom. I had just come home from my friend J.C.'s house cause I had slept over the night before. And I knew by now, or was beginnings to realize that what we were doing wasn't right. I mean I knew kind of but...Oh never mind." he said not knowing what to say
"It's okay. I get it." she said looking at him.
"And She came in. 'Hey Scottie, you just get home from your friends?' she asked. 'You know I missed you last night. I was all alone and your daddy wasn't home.' she said and she took off her shirt. She came towards me. I didn't know what to do. And dad wasn't going to be home for a while. And I didn't want to... to you know have sex with her. And she came and pushed me on the bed and got on top of me. She started unbuttoning my shirt. I told her to stop it. I didn't want to do that kind of thing anymore. That she was dad's wife. And that what we were doing was wrong. She laughed and said 'And if you tell he'll just blame you. I'm his wife Scotty. Now if you give me what I want I won't tell him. And you don't want your daddy hating you do you?' she asked. And I knew she was right. He loved her; he left my mom for her. I couldn't do anything. So from then on I was defenseless, I didn't want dad to find out. I started the drugs. Anything to make the pain go away from what she was doing. To wash it from my mind. I just let her do what she wanted. I didn't care anymore." Scott finished and looked at Shelby. They heard a bell in the distance. It was the one calling for lunch.
"We can finish this later." Scott said to Shelby.
