"I've missed you sooo much, since I left for college. How's life treating you?" Kat asked, like her usual motherly self.
"Not so great. Here's the story. My mother dies, my sister and I get sent to this abusive home, Cole by some miracle gets sent there too, and I kill the guy, Jason. Now Im on the run from the police and have just escaped from prison for attempted robery of a federal bank. How's that for life" Shelby said a single tear falling down her cheek. During the time Shelby was telling the story Kats eyes went wider and wider. "Oh and the best part... I just stole your boyfriend, Hank's car." She finished.
"Well... sounds like life has treated you like shit." Kat said.
"Auntie Kat?" A little boy said from the doorway. He was rubbing his eyes and holding his blanket in his hand. He was in pajamas and looked around 4 or 5 years old. "Who are deese people?" He asked again.
"These are my friends." Kat said. "Shelby, Cole this is my friends little boy, Matthew." She said .
"Why hello, Matthew. Nice to meet you." Shelby said crouching down in front of the little boy. "I have been your aunties friend for a LONG time." She said.
"Hey! I know you!" The boy said, suddenly waking up more. "I saw you on tv!" He finished. "The news lady said your bad." Matthew finished.
"Matthew! Go back to your nap. Mommy will be here to pick you up in a hour." Kat said . Matthew looked back and forth from Kat to Shelby. He nodded and went back into a room. Shelby covered her face.
"You've gotta help me, Kat. Both of us. Were in trouble and I dont know what to do!" Shelby exclaimed.
"Yeah" Cole butted in.
"I'll see what I can do." Kat said.

Dear Shelby,
I know you wont get this for a while, but whenever I do get this to you I want you to know that I love you. A newbie came today. Her name is Lea and she is nice. Not to make you mad but she is sorta interested in me. I want you to know that I will NEVER leave you. She is nothing compared to you and I miss you. PLEASE know that I love you and whatever happenes that will NEVER change. I want you back... we all do. Just to fill you in: Daisy and Ezra are an item now, Auggie asked Juliette to move in with him when we all leave Horizon and me... well Im just me. I love you...
Scott
PS: I LOVE YOU!!
Scott put down his pen and closed up the letter without one final look. He shoved it in the envelope.. put his return address and waited. He waited for the day when he would hear something awful about Shelby. The day he would learn that the police had killed her or that she was in a car crash. He waited to hear the worst. He thought that if he expected the worse that what would happen would not bother him. He fell on his bunk and.... well... waited.
*****
"I miss Shelby, Auggie!" Juliette said for the first time. "I know we haven't been the best of friends but I miss her." She said.
"I know, Jules. I know. I do too. We just have to wait. We have to be strong for her. I still have hope in my heart that she will come back. If you dont I'll share my hope with you." He said.
"Oh, how philisophical. I didn't know you could be that way, Aug." Daisy said, coming up behind, then Ezra following like a puppy.
"Me neither." Ezra said. Suddenly Scott walked into the lodge. His face was tear stained. It wasn't of surprise. Ever since Shelby left, Scott had come into the lodge for group looking like he had just spent hours crying. They didn't know, though, that since Shelby killed the man and was not able to recieve letters, that Scott still wrote them. He had a box full of letters. They were weeks worth. And there was one for every day. He had at least 7 boxes of letters, each one several pages at least.
They all cried. Even David. It was sad and they could do nothing about it.
"Okay guys. Group." Jeff yelled from across the room. Jeff had been taking over things for Peter ever since the twins were born.
"Well, we'll start with how we feel." Jeff said not expecting anything positive. "Scott you start"
"Shitty. And I'm serious." Scott said.
"I miss Shelby" Juliette said.
"I miss her too" Auggie.
"Im bored but I also miss shelby" David.
"Confused" Daisy
"Curious" Ezra.
"OKay guys. All perfectly good answers. Why do you feel that way?" Jeff asked.
"I feel shitty cause I lost my only love. The only person who has ever cared about me. And I will never get her back. Maybe in a body bag... but never the same." Scott said.
"Everyone knows why I miss Shelby and that is probaly the answer for Auggie and David too." Auggie and David nodded at Juliettes comment. It was true.
"I feel confused cause I dont know what to do for my friend anymore." Daisy said.
"I am curious cause I want to know what is going on with Shelby right now. Also with Peter and Sophie" Ezra commented.
"Okay guys that is it for tonight. Get some sleep."
*****
"Well I guess everyone thinks im bad, now." Shelby said after Matthew had gone back to sleep and you could hear steady breathing from the room he was in.
"Shel-" Kat started but Shelby jumped in, agitated.
"No- Kat. From the moment I arrived at Horizon I was called the 'bad girl' and I loved it. I did. But now that I realy AM a bad, a criminal, I hate it! I do! You've gotta help me! I cant help myself. Im tired. Im tired of running, im tired of people hating me... and- and I miss Scott." Shelby layed her head in her hands and wept for a minute.
"I-I Ive gotta c-call Peter." Kat said stumbling out of the room.
"DONT TELL HIM IM HERE!" Shelby yelled after her. She tried opening the door to Kats room but it was locked. "Damn it!" She said again. She then put her head up to the door and listened into the conversation.
*****
The phone rang in the hospital late in the after noon. Soon after the loud speaker came on.
"Mr. Peter Scarbrow phone on line one at the front desk. Peter Scarbrow phone on line one. " It rang out. Peter jerked his head up and rushed over to the front desk.
"Im Peter Scarbrow." He said and grabbed the phone. He put it to his ear, cautiously, and answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Peter its Kat."
"Hey, Kat!"
"Um Peter. I wanted to ask you something."
"Shoot"
"Well. What if I were to say that a fellow Cliffhanger just showed up at my house and well.. confessed to murder.? Hypotheticaly speaking of course." She laughed nervously.
"Shelbys there isn't she?" Peter said.
"Yeah. She's here. I dont know if I should turn her in or not" There was a long silence and Peter sighed more then once.
"Yeah.... we dont want her getting hurt. So... J-just call them." He hung up suddenly. Peter sat down on the bench. He was pissed but he had a baby so.... he shook all the thoughts of Shelby out of his head and went back to his children.
*****
"Turn her in? What is Peter thinking?" Kat said outloud. She would soon regret it.
Shelby had been listening to the whole conversation through the door and as soon as she heard the last line from Kats mouth, she took off running. She grabbed Cole by the arm who was drinking some drink and drug him out the door.
Once outside Cole spoke while wiping the milk off his pants.
"What the hell was that fo- WHAT! WHO AND WHAT THE-" He screamed once he noticed that there were approximately 23 guns pointed at them with around 30 police officers surrounding the house.
"SURRENDER NOW OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO SHOOT!" One officer screamed. Reluctantly, Cole and Shelby stuck their hands up in he air and surrendered.

A/n: MOOOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I left you there. I am evil. Dr. Evil that is. *puts pinky finger up to corner of mouth* RIIIIIGHT. Now all I want is some reviews with FREKIN "Laserbeams" attached to their heads!! Eh... yeah.
