Scott and Shelby stood in horror of what Juliette just said. Questions rang through thier minds unanswered. Who was it? What happened? Are they ok?
Shelby: I'm on my way.
Scott: Shel, you look a little pale. Are you gonna be okay?
Shelby: Yea just dandy. sarcastic
Scott: Shel, it's me Scott remember. You don't have to fake with me.
Shelby's face went into a blur.
Shelby: I wanna know who was hurt.
Scott: It's gonna be okay.
Even he wasn't sure if he believed what he just said much less Shelby.
Shelby decided to go along with it.
Shelby: Yea, you're here mighty man. sarcastic
Scott: Mr. Mighty Man.
Shelby: Excuse me.
Scott: Hey, I'll meet you at the docks in a half an hour. Ok?
Shelby: Sure.
With that the 2 seperated and headed toward the dorms.
****************************************
Maxi, Juliette, Daisy, and Talula were all pacing. They had diffrent paths, but all met up in the center when Shelby entered.
Shelby: What are we having a funeral. sarcastic
Daisy: Yea. We're mourning the death of free time. dry
Maxi: Thank God you're okay.
Shelby: Yea.sarcastic
Talula: I wanna you what son of a (Juliette held her breath she hated when people cussed. It reminded her of her stepdads and mother fighting before the inevitable divorce.) Bill did this. angry
Maxi: Breath in Jules.
Jules let out a sigh and began pacing agian.
Jules: Did anyone see Auggie?
Maxi: He ran out of the kitchen to Peter's office.
Jules: That's good news.
Talula: Role call. Scott?
Shelby: With me.
Talula: Ezra?
Daisy: In the kitchen and then ran to the lodge with Sophie.
Talula: and David...
There was silence and finally Maxi dropped on her bed.
Shelby: It's gonna be fine, Max.
Maxi: It was him. He's hurt.
Daisy: You never know maybe he joking or he was the...hurtie.
Talula: He could have been in the woods.
Maxi shook her head.
Maxi: It was him. I know it.
They all sat on the bed with Maxi or across from her. She began to let the tears of rage fall from her face.
The others sat in disbelief and said nothing. No body knew what they could say.
Music plays in the back gorund as scene switches.
I pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floor
image of a gurnie and an ambulance
Cry my eyes out in my private little war
Peter and sophie standing side by side watching a body being wheeled slowly in the vehicle
well it seems I'm a soldier heaven knows I've been no saint
the EMts rush to heal an open wound
In my camafloude and armor, cold heart and grease paint
Peter and Sophie turn towards a male student
To you this has no meaning the Armistice laid down
A image of Maxi wiping her tears and Juliette trying to hug her
The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound
An image of the inside of the ambulance and the gauges being unwound
'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
An imge of Maxi and Davids hands is shown and then...
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
then an image of David on the gunie being wheeled into the open doors of a hostpital
And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do
Maxi sitting in a crouched postion in the bathroom with tears flowing off her face and onto her jeans
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
Music fades.
****************************************
Peter's office. Peter is in there with the male student.
Peter: Nathian you got here 2 hours ago and you did this!! he was yelling.
Peter had seen many teens who were deeply troubled, but one that got here 2 hours before and managed to get another student, who wasn't even his own group, was definatly something new.
Nathian: He was bothering me.
Peter: He was Bothering you and you felt that stabbing him in the arm was necassary.
Nathian: I missed.
Peter: And where exactly were you aiming?
Nathial knew it was retoricle, but figured if he pissed this Peter guy off enough then he would get sent home, to his sister.
Nathian: I was thinking maybe towards his abdomen.
Peter took a deep breath and decided that he might end up killing this kid if he didn't get some moral support.
Peter pressed his radio and called someone who he knew would help.
Peter: Soph, could you come to my office?
Sophie: Peter? I was headed toward the Cliffhangers to tell them.What do you need?
Peter: Please I have the kid in here.
Sophie knew that that meant that he really needed her.
Sophie: On my way.
Peter: Nathian I've decided that after I put you on cabin arrest for 2 weeks you're going to be switched into the Cliffhanger group.
Nathian: But that was the group that dude was in.
Peter: Exactly. And when you switch you're going to be monitered by a counselor until we think that we can trust you enough not to be.
Nathian: Man, this is f***ed up!
Sophie walked in and sat down next to Peter.
Peter: Sophie Becker this is YOUR new student Nathian Cocker.
Sophie: Peter, my student is David not Nathian and I think it would be very irrational to put them together.
Peter: Soph, Nathian and David have some issues that need to be worked out and he will be on 24 hour watch.
Sophie: He has a seperate room for 2 weeks.
Peter: Fine as long as when David gets back they are only allowed to be with EACHOTHER.
Nathian: Uh-au No!!That kid has problems.
Sophie: What a cioncidence so do you.
***********************************************
Shelbt walked into the bathroom. Maxi and her had been friends for years and she knew that Max needed her. She wanted to be there for her, but didn't know how. Maybe Scott could help her since he knew what it was like to worry about thier safety. They had had plenty of situations like that when she got lost in the woods, she went home, when she finally let it ALL out.
Maxi: Shelby go away.
Shelby: Thanks for the warm welcome. I feel really special. sarcastic
Maxi: I'm really happy that you feel ~special~. sarcastic
Shelby: She speaks.
Maxi: I just want him to b okay.
Shelby: Max, this id David he's never ok.
Maxi: You know what I mean.
Shelby: I really do not know what you see in looser boy.
Maxi smiled at her memory of that kiss.
Maxi: Shel, you and Scott are complete oppisittes. He loves football I doubt you could careless about it. He has a huge temper you just don't talk to anyone when you are. He's controlling you won't let him control you, but at the end of the day there's nonone that you wanna love more. He completes you and you complete him. That's the way it is with David. I guess I've always liked him, but I didn't want to.
Shelby was tearing up, but refused to let her see.
Shelby: Yea, whatever.
Maxi: Ok.
There was silence for a while till Daisy came in.
Daisy: Is there a boogie man in the toilet that I need to know about. sarcastic
Maxi: Ask Jules she's the expert.
Shelby: Not bad for a crying sweet talker. sarcastic
Maxi: Where is Juliette anyway?
****************************************
Juliette stood in front of the doorway to a small stall. She didn't want to do it agian, but she felt so helpless and she didn't think that even her heroes could save from drowing in the lake of life. She felt still and heavy. She knew a way to cure the heavy part, but she had always felt still, except for being with Auggie. He knew how to cure that, but she knew that one day he would want someone with less wieght to carry. she decided that maybe if she didn't dwell on then maybe it would be like it never happened. She slowly walked into the small stall and sat down. She just sat there for a few minutes just thinking and remembering the words her mother often said.
Mother: Juliette, people are happier when they are happy with themselves and you'll be happy with yourself when you're thin. Getting that way is the tough part. You need pills, diets, excercise, and of course you always need to know calories and how much you have eaten in a day. If that still doesn't work, and I will tell you if it doesn't resort to throwing it up. You understand.
A nine year old girl stared at her mother who she thought was beautiful and nodded her head in reply.
Mother: That's my good little girl.
After that Juliette was always checking her calories and knowing exactly what her wieght was. She thought she needed to be at least 12 pounds under wieght for her size to be thin and please her mother. Which was her ultiminate goal.
Juliette sat there just thinking so much that she didn't notice the door open.
Girl: Juliette are you in here? Come on Jules it's just....
Juliette stepped out tear streaked and saw her savior.
Talula took in a small breath and walked to the torn up girl.
Talula: You're sick aren't you and I don't mean the flu?
Juliette nodded and cried agian.
Talula: Jules it's okay I understand.
Juliette looked up into the oval blue eyes that seemed so concerned and wanting to help.
Juliette: How?
Talula: My nanny when I was 13 was and she would tell me why and never to do it.
Juliette: Smart girl. wish I had had one like that.
Talula: No you don't. She was in a gang and she was abused one night in the mall while heaving by a rival gang memeber. It was his way to get in the gang. She came out didn't say a word to me and then 2 monthes later found out that she was pregnant. My parents fired her.
Juliette: Why?
Talula: She was 12 when she got in and she did it cause her family was in it and then she could never get out. Her brother was the pac leader, he was a really nice guy to me.
Juliette: Have you heard from her?
Talula: Not lately.
Juliette: What happened to the baby?
Talula: Full of questions aren't we.
Juliette: Thanks.
Talula: Comes with the package.
**********************************************
Nathian started to pack his stuff and then headed to meet his "new best friends". He knew he was going to hate all of them.
He walked slowly toward the guy cabin and into the small dorm room they had for him.
All he wanted was his niece. She meaned the world to him. She was his brother's daughter. He had had her young, his girlfriend had died in labor and he wanted to keep the little baby girl. He had to leave to escape jail, so Nathian was responsible for her since thier parents had died. He was sent to foster homes and wrote her down as his sister. He named her Lacy. She was 3 now and talking all the time. He reminsed about her so much that he normally forgot that he was away from her.
he got to the door and was immeadatly welcomed in.
Scott: Hi, I'm Scott and you are?
Nathian: I'm a newbie and I'm Nathian.
Auggie: Auggie
Ezra: Ezra and welcome to our little playground for hellians.
Nathian: Yea.
Scott: so ahh what ya here for?
Nathian: I knifed some dude named David, I think, and they sent me to this group.
Everyone's face paled.
*******************************************************************
Hope you liked it. If you did or didn't let me know and I'll try to
change it or keep it the same.
