Shelby sighed and reached for a pillow to rest her head on. As she sat up she looked across the room seeing Faith flirting with Dan Townsend a member of the trailblazers, and not at all surprised. David however sat by the fire just a few feet away from Shelby in a rocking chair , tapping his foot nervously, obviously enraged by a very specific something. Shelby sighed and shook her head, the way Faith always had a hold on guys amazed her, with a flip of her hair and bat of her eyes she had them hooked instantly. David starred at the fire, it looked like a seen out of some kind of horror movie, the way the fire was reflected in his eyes.

" Hey David!" Shelby snapped her .

" What?" He asked rudely.

" Well excuse me lover boy i was just gonna ask you if you wanted to go smoke a ciggarette with me, get you away from your uhh.. distraction shall we say?" Shelby asked surprisingly nicely.

" Yeah sure." David said and followed Shelby as she snuck without anyone seeing her out the back door. Shelby ran through the rain to the wood shed and pulled our a carton of cigarettes, lighting one up quickly.

" You would think in a place like this a girl would learn to quit" David laughed.

" Well i did, haven't touched these in a couple of months actually." She said handing it to David. " But uhh i kinda just needed one"

" Ahh trouble in paradise." David asked.

" That is none of your business, lets not talk about me ok?" Shelby asked laughing. " How about you tell me what happened with you and Faith."

" NOTHING" David said abruptly. " I dont know where you got an idea like that I have never met her before in my life."

" Don't lie to me ok?" Shelby said snatching the cigarette out of his hand. " She told me you guys met this summer when she came to stay with Peter, and lets just say if Faith remembers a guy she did more than meet him." Shelby laughed

" Alright fine." David said and took a deep breath. " We just hung out a few times" Shelby gave him an annoyed look " We just ... I guess I just liked her a lot more than she liked me, but we did everything together like went hiking and..."

" Wait you got Faith to go hiking?" Shelby asked. " wow she must have liked you"

" Thats what i thought, but when her mom said she couldn't stay at horizon all year round like Peter asked, she changed all the sudden she wouldn't hang out with me anymore and she started messing around with a bunch of different guys... including Auggie, but look you cant tell Juliet she'll be crushed." David confessed.

" Wait a minute your saying that Faith and Auggie..." Shelby gasped " I am gonna kill him i mean i am really gonna kill him how could he have been so stupid" Shelby said in shock.

" I don't know i think he was just missing Jules and needed some lovin" David laughed a little. Shelby took a puff of her ciggarette. " or hey you never know he could be over Juliet"

" Ya maybe your right. People change, maybe he just moved on." Shelby said expelling the smoke from her mouth." look i gotta go find Scott but hey about the whole Faith thing, i'll talk to her.. tell you what she says maybe she just got scared.. i'm betting thats it." Shelby said and handed him the cigarette.

" See ya later Shelby" David said as she walked out.

Shelby ran through the rain and into the lodge quietly so Peter wouldn't see her. Faith still stood talking to Dan. She grabbed her arm violently and pulled her aside.

" what are you doing Faith?" Shelby asked her

" What with him.... who knows! cute thought huh?" Faith asked laughing a little.

" No not with Dan." Shelby sighed." You messed around with Auggie Cicerous?" Shelby asked angrily.

" The name doesnt sound farmiliar... oh wait ok i know who he is. Oh boy did I he was pretty cute himself why did he say something about me?" She asked eagerly.

" Faith one of my best friends is his girlfriend." Shelby asked " You can't keep doing this, just screwin every guy you see like this your gonna make your life into something you really aren't gonna be so proud of anymore. Your throwing away a chance at a really great guy" Shelby sighed.

" Wait tell me your not talking about that David kid" Faith asked laughing. " Shelby what has gotten into you, i come here and find you in this serious relashionship with a guy who is totally not your type and your sitting here giving me advice on how to live my life and who i should date." Faith said angrily.

" Faith the only advice i am gonna give you... is to look around you, you think that every one thinks your so kool but really all the girls around here hate you and all the guys think your easy and you have only been here an hour. So much for first impressions huh?" Shelby said and began to walk away.

" Well you know what!?" Faith said grabbing Shelbys arm " Maybe i dont want to live up to what ever you seem to think is so great about love, i cant get stuck in something i am not gonna be able to get out of the same person. And besides how would you even know anything about this relashionship when yours doesn't seem to be so healthy." Faith mouthed off

" What are you talking about?" Shelby asked quickly

" Lets just say your boy Scott is awful friendly." Faith smirked. Shelby took a step back in disgust and shook her head.

" No, No" She repeated over and over " Your a liar, he would never touch you" She said and ran to the living room of the lodge where Scott sat in the rocking chair writting in hisjournal busily. He saw her crying and out of breath and pulled her into his arms.

" Shelby whats wrong?" he asked sweetly. She pushed his arms off of her waist.

" Is it true Scott?" She asked Scott shook his head confused. " Did something happen with you and Faith tonight that i dont know about"
