*The Emergency Room*
Everyone sat, tightly wound in the waiting room, looking up expectantly everytime someone walked in or out of the doors. Finally a man in a white coat walked towards him. "Peter Scarbrow? I'm Thomas Miller. You're here for" he paused, looking down at his chart. "Shelby Merrick? Well the good news is, we've got the bleeding under control. The bad news is, she's not out of the woods get. Its a low velocity wound, meaning the bullet did not exit her body. So she's in the OR right now. We're going to make a preauricular incision with bi manual palpatation. That should retrive the bullet. But...when she comes out...her blood pressure was low when we were going into the operating room..if its still as low when she comes out...she may be in a coma" he finished. The nine faces staring back at him, full of hope when he first began talking, fell. The blond boy, sitting to the side by himself, began sobbing again. He'd been hysterical when Mr. Scarbrow had first lead him in. It'd taken them an hour to calm him down. Apparently, he was the one who found the young lady. Dr. Miller gave the group a sympathetic look, and walked back through the doors.
Kerri gritted her teeth as Scott began to sob again. People were staring. Kerri gathered her courage, stood up, and walked over to Scott, sitting next to him, avoiding the icy glares delivered from Daisy, Juliette, and Katherine. "Scott, I'm sure she'll be okay" Kerri said, her voice sickeningly sweet, and understanding as she reached out for his hand. He jerked away quickly, causing Kerri to jump back, and sobbed harder. "Scott, just calm down okay..." Kerri started, putting her arm around his shoulders. "Leave me alone!" Scott sobbed, violently jerking away. "Kerri, I think it'd be best if you left Scott alone right now" Sophie said firmly. She reluctantly stood up, and returned to her seat. "Okay, Sophie and I are going to go get some coffee" Peter announced with a shuddering sigh. "Scott, why don't you go to the bathroom around the corner and..collect yourself" he continued, helping Scott up. "Katherine, keep an eye on them" Sophie called, motioning to Juliette, Daisy, Ezra, Auggie, and Kerri. "Sure thing" Katherine replied dutifully as they disappeared around the corner with Scott. Kerri sighed. "Finally I can get off this stupid act! Its been driving me up the wall. *Why* do *I* have to be in here just because the dumb slut got shot?" Kerri asked, standing up, putting her hands on her hips. "You are one sick chick, you know that" Auggie said, shaking his head. "Shelby could *die* and you still have no sympathy? Thats so cruel" Juliette said, a look of disgust crossing her face. Kerri rolled her eyes. "So I don't give a rats ass about the Princess...big deal," she replied calmly, examining a strand of her hair.
*The Hallway*
Scott headed out from the bathroom, his emotions finally under control. His rib cage ached from the intense sobbing. His back hurt from being hunched over. He felt like hell. And he looked it too. His hair was messy and sticking up all over the place. His eyes were red, puffy, and bloodshot. His lips were red and chapped. And he was emotionally spent too. Every time he stopped crying, he felt there were no more tears to shed. He felt all dried up. But they'd come again. And he'd start hurting even more. Just as he was about to turn the corner he heard voices arguing. He stopped a moment, leaned against the wall, and listened.
*Waiting Room*
"I can't believe you are such a self centered, self absorbed bitch!" Daisy hissed. "You don't even *know* Shelby. So why don't you just back off" Ezra spoke up. Kerri laughed. "Oh please. Forgive me. I don't care a bit about Scott's poor little whore. Hell, if Peter and Sophie weren't in there when Mark first grabbed her, I would have jumped for joy. She's been a thorn in my thigh ever since I got back. And if she bites the big one..who do you think Scott's going to come to for comfort?" Kerri asked with a smirk. "Its all *too* perfect" she purred.
*The Hallway*
Scott got a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. The others had been right all along. Kerri was the evil witch they'd told him she was. Who was *she* to call Shelby a whore?! Each little comment she made was like shoving a stake coated with tabasco sauce into Scott's heart. Scott now knew what Kerri truely was. He took a deep breath, and walked back into the waiting room, sitting back in his chair. Kerri immidiatly turned on her fake charm. "Are you okay now Scotty?" she cooed, moving to sit in his lap. Scott shifted his legs, causing Kerri to fall right on the floor. "Forgive me. I was just worried about 'my little whore'" Scott said stiffly, glaring down at Kerri. Kerri's eyes grew wide. For once she was at a loss of words. "I..how..I mean" she stuttered. "Do I even *have* to tell you its *over* Kerri" he asked coldly. Kerri sat on the floor speechless, as the other cliffhangers looked down at her, satisfied smirks on there faces. Kerri pulled herself up, trying to look dignified, and threw herself into the chair next to Daisy. "See..what'd I tell you. You meant *nothing* to him" Daisy smirked, before looking away. Just then, Peter and Sophie returned, and doctor miller walked into the waiting room. "Mr. Scarbrow, the surgery was successful" he began slowly, as everyone, excluding Kerri held there breaths.......
