Quote: When you help someone you often help yourself.
****************************************
Scott: So can we?
Shelby: Scott, not now ok.
Scott: Shelby, I realize I'm probably the last person you wanna talk to, but we're gonna have to some time. Why not now?
Shelby: Because I don't know when I'm gonna get hurt with you! And I'm so tired of this hot one minute cold the next crap I have to have with you. It's not all about you Scott.
Scott: I know that.
Shelby: Then maybe you should let me live my life with out you ordering it.
Talula, Maxi, and Daisy stood behind the 2. Talula who didn't know that this happened alot was the first to say somehting.
Talula: Would you 2 just shut-up for one minute and listen to yourselves. You sound like an old married couple. We're 16 not 85!
Maix laughed she just couldn't hold it in until she got a glare from Scott and Shelby.
Talula: You're supposed to be in love and the last time I checked this wasn't in the dictionary.sarcastic
Maxi: Could you please talk about this rationally like the 2 friends I know would do?
Shelby: Later.
Scott: Fine.
Scott walked ahead of them.
Daisy: dry Well, that was a hoot-n-nanny.
Maxi: we should schedule that in every week. sarcastic. Oops I must have forgotten we already do it every week. sarcastic
*******************************
Jules and Auggie walked together hand in hand. They were behind everyone, so that Peter wouldn't give them his lecture on "inapproapriate touching". It had been bothering Juliette that Scott and Shelby were unhappy. She wasn't best friends with Shelby,ok let's face it they were streching the meaning of friends, but Scott did mean something to her. Not romantic or anything just like brother sisterly thing. They understood where eachother came from. They understood what it was like to come from "privalaged" homes. Kids of divorce. It was just an understanding bond that they didn't talk about too often, but she knew it was there.
Auggie: Jules. Earth to Jules.
Jules: What? I'm sorry did I zone out, agian.
Auggie: yea, agian. What's up?
Jules: Scott and Shelby. I'm worried about them.
Auggie: Why?
Jules: You saw that blow out too.
Auggie: I'll go talk to meat.
Auggie dropped her hand and headed toward a much needing a friend Scott.
Jules: Hey.
Auggie: Yea twig.
Jules: Thanks and I love you.
It had been her first time to ever say and she hoped it had come out right. Even though she had felt that way for a while she just never said it.
Auggie: I love ya too.
He turned around agian and walked toward Scott thinking that him and Jules had somethin he couldn't explain. it was just special.
***********************************************
David was walking by himself and thinking about his earlier conversation with Maxi.
She's just so....diffrent than he had expected, but she probably thought the same thing. She was just, he didn't know how to explain it other than thinking that he had feelings for the red head. She fit the description of one, he had read a book about a theory that stated that most people fit the personality for thier hair color, red heads were supposed to be fiery, intresting, smart, and quick-witted.
Maybe if he was lucky she would feel the same way.
**************************************************
Auggie reached Scott and decided on how to approach the subject.
Auggie: Hey meat, what's up?
Scott: Girls. I just have never gotten them.
Auggie: I don't think any man does,except maybe Peter,but he even makes Sophie mad.
Scott: I wish I could get her to understand.
Auggie: Same with Jules.I want her to quit for her own sake, but I can't get that through to her. It just hurts to see her in pain.
Scott: Same with Shelby.
Auggie: Females.
Scott: Ya can't live with them,but I can't imagine livin' without her.
Auggie: Yea.
Scott: How did you know that we were having problems.
Auggie: You fight like my parents except for in English.
Scott: And they're Mexican\Italian. Man, Lulu was right.
Auggie: Man they always are.
Scott: i hat that about them.
Auggie: they hate us bein' pigs.
Scott: Well we live with them. ain't that enough to make a guy a pig.
**************************************
The sun was heading towards the Horizon to end another day of hope.
***************************************
Shelby and Daisy had seperated from the group of other girls. Daisy just wanted to talk to Shelb alone. Shelby couldn't complain. Talula had gone off with Ezra. Maxi had gone to find David. Shelby thought that she was going insane.....David of all people. Ok they're weren't many choices, but DAVID.
Daisy: Shelby are you ok?
Shelby: No am I ever. sarcastic
Daisy: I'm being serious.
Shelby: I can't talk to him right now.
Daisy: You never know what he could say. Maybe that he's sorry for being an ass.
Shelby: That would be a first. Him calling himself an ass.
Daisy: This Scott. He's done some pretty unbelievable things.
Shelby: Yea like telling me to go talk to CPS and then getting mad cause I won't.
Daisy: I want you to do it, but you have to make that choice not me.
Shelby: I'll think about it......there I thought about it and NO.
Daisy: Ok, but at least seriously think about throwing away you and Scott.
Shelby: Fine. I'll do it later.
*************************************
next morning after they had pulled the tents down and headed back to Horizon.
*************************************
Maxi and david
David: I need to tell you something.
Maxi: Okay shoot.
David pulled Maxi's arm and pulled her out of view.
David: I need to do this........
He pulled her chin to his and kissed her on the mouth to show her how he felt. It was a lingering warm kiss. He felt like he was being rained on. It was a summer rain and it felt like..heaven.
Maxi couldn't believe that this was happening. David was kissing her and she enjoyed it and wanted HIM to.
He pulled back to see her face. Slowly a smile cracked his face when he saw her reaction...a smile ran across her face. It brightened her face and made her look gentle. She looked soft. He had always thought that she was hard and cold.
Maxi's smile stayed on her face till she thought that she would explode if she didn't get another one. This time she mat him half way.
Music plays:
have you given up on passion living day to day
You keep you r dreams locked uo down inside
Chocking on a lifetime never taking a chance
Don't wake up one day and wish you'd tried
Chorus
It ain't about the money, it ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about the loosing streak, makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matter is your heart
Let's forget about the notion that we're not the same
My blood runs as red as yours
We all get angery, we've all been scared
We've all made big mistakes that can never be repaired
Chorus
Look me in the eye and take my hand
We can make a diffrence, we can make a diffrence I know we can
Have you given up on passion and living day to day
You keep your dreams locked down deep
choking on a lifetime of never taking a chance
Don't wake up one day wishing you had
Chorus
Maxi took David's hand and they returned to the trail now a little behind all the others.
********************************************
Talula and Ezra are walking side by side.
Talula: So this is just a guess, but you're into film making?
ezra: Yea, daisy and I made a moving onace and I made a movie called "The Drugs Cover My Eyes".
Talula couldn't help holding in the laughter. Ezra made her do things she hadn't done in a long time. Since before Annie's death.
Ezra: What.
Talula: "The Drugs Cover My Eyes"? joking
Ezra: What, it captured my youth.
Talula: In a nutshell.
Ezra couldn't help but laugh at her. She was smiling and laughing. She hadn't done that all in her 1 week stay.
Talula covered her mouth when she realized she was laughing and smiling.
Ezra: I won't tell that you were laughing.
Talula: It's been a while almost 2 years now.
Ezra: Wow.
Talula realized what he was meaning.
Talula: Ohh, naturally.
Ezra nodded
Talula: You remind me of a friend I had. Her name was Annie. She was my best friend.
Ezra: what happened?
Talula: My parents fired her. I couldn't go out much cause of the press. She used to sneak me out and take me shopping. She was 19 and I was 14.
Annie wanted to say more such as why Annie was fired ir why Talula ran away, but she didn't want to bring bakc the memories she worked so hard to try and forget. She normally did except for in her dreams.
Ezra: Ohh.
Talula: It's okay. I'm learning to live on my own.
Ezra: You're not all alone now.
Talula: Meaning?
Ezra cleared his throat he didn't know what he should say. He still liked Daisy, but Talula was fun to be with.
Ezra: I'm here for you whenever you want to talk.
Talula: Thanks, but..ahh....I doubt you would get it.
**********************************
Shelby saw Horizon and remembered the meaning: Saving one teen at a time and maybe a life. She knew that she wanted HIM to be part of her's and maybe just maybe he could help save it. With that thought in mind Shelby decided it was time. She mustered up all her strength and walked up to Scott and Auggie.
Shelby: Auggie, can i talk to Scott for a minute alone?
Auggie: sure
he left to find Jules.
Shelby: I wanna talk about us rationally. If that's okay with you.
The whole time she was taling her eyes wondered. She didn't want to look in his baby blue\brown eyes.
Scott bent downa and looked up into Shebly's eyes. They were the only part of her that you could see that gave awya her true feelings..
Scott: Yea. I wanna talk to you, if ya'll listen.
Shelby: Well, what did you think I would do. sarcastic
Scott: I love you and I'm sick of you being hurt. I just thought that if I wanted you to get better enough that maybe it would make up for you not wantin to try.
Shelby saw red. She wanted to try just not by telling complete strangers.
Shelby: I do Scott. but that's you're way of getting better not mine.
Scott: Then what is...pretending it's not there.
Shelby: I thought it was being with you. Maybe I was wrong.
Scott: Maybe.
Shelby tried to run,but her legs wouldn't move. She pushed hard on them and slowly turned away and tried to get as far away as possible, but a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Scott: Wait, I don't wanna loose you. I love you. I'm sorry that I wanna run your life for you.
Shelby: I'm sorry I always get in the way.
Scott: Shel, it's your life and if you don't wanna talk to them that's your decision to make.
Shelby: I don't.
Scott: ok.
Scott opened his arms and enclosed them around Shelby's shoulders. Shelby did the same.
Scott: So, ahh I guess we're okay.
Shelby: Yea, I guess.
They stayed in the hug for a while before Juliette came running up to them telling them that something horrific had happened in the lodge.
Juliette: Shelby Scott, there's been an accident in the lodge. Someone was hurt and I don't know who. Peter and Sophie told me to get the rest of the Cliffhangers and send you back to the dorms.
Tears streamed down her face. Something inside told her that it was really bad and that it was one of her friends.
****************************************************
I hope you enjoyed it and here's an idea as to what I have in store for you.
Talula might just have to much on her mind to realize that she's in WAY over her head.
Juliette is worried SICK.
Shelby and Scott may have worked out thier diffrences, but what about someone elses?
Maxi is finally happy, but with the accident she might have to worry more about the person than herself. Is it going to cause her to miss something that might effect her in more ways than one.
