Swear It Again
Chapter 3
**Shelby**
I ran into the swing area smiling that she got a swing, she waved at me I chuckled. Off in the distance I saw a tall figure, I let it slide though. I chuckled watching her jump off the swing I yelled for her "Stephanie come back here!" I ran after her a bit chuckling as she ran faster. I swooped her up in my arms "Gotcha!" she was laughing, I set her down on a bench tying her shoe back up. She went to go play with some kids. I sat back on the bench thinking, about everything.
Back at Horizon, everyone's problems were solved. I chuckled remembering Peter & Sophie, I hoped they were happy. All of them I wonder if Daisy was still single, she never could settle down. What about Scott? Was he married? Did he move on? I wish I could see him again. Maybe I could take a trip to Horizon, that's if anyone is even there. I'll do it anyways. What if I saw him? What would I say? It's been 6 years since I've even heard from anyone. That's my own fault though, not leaving a forwarding address.
I sighed standing up looking for Stephanie, I look around calling for her "Stephanie!" The bushes were tall so it was easy to lose someone, I heard some rustling in some bushes near me I jump opening the bushes but finding a friend of hers "Hey Billy, do you know where Stephanie went?" he nodded his head taking her to where Stephanie was hiding, she jumped out surpirisng me I smiled picking her up. "You sneak! Let's go home and eat dinner okay?" Stephanie smiled asking me "Can we eat at McDonalds please?" I chuckled pretending to think a moment. We walked out of the park after saying goodbye to her friends.
That night when we got home I carried her up to bed, smiling down at her kissing her forehead. I walked back down to the basement picking up the shoebox taking it upstairs with me. I sighed opening it again at my desk, looking at the return address on the letters. I took out a pad or paper writing a letter.
Dear Daisy,
I'm sorry I never wrote you back, life got in the way and I moved. Somehow in the past 6 years I've seemed to forget about Horizon, thinking I lost all my memories when I moved. Thankfully cleaning out my basement told me otherwise. How are you? Still single? The last letter you sent me was sweet thank you. I wish I would've made it to the reunion I miss everyone. I hope you are well. My daughter Stephanie is 6 she's a doll. I've been thinking of going up to Horizon to take a trip. I miss you and hope to see you soon.
Love,
Shelby
I put the letter in the envelope writing the address on it. I set it aside after setting a stamp on it also. I took the second letter setting it back in the box. Like I knew what to say to him. I turned out the lights locking the door walking up to bed. I laid down turning off my light. Sleep soon found me.

"You know why he's with you don't you?" This skank that was supposed to be my friend, I sighed.
"Because he loves me Corinne." She chuckled evil like "You only wish Shelby, he wants a wife, a family."
I chuckled "I'm going to give him just that, I am in love with this man. Nothing will stop me from loving him, not even some jealous bitch like you!"
She spoke up "I never said he wanted any of it from you. Why would he? You're old news to him, it's out with the old and on with the new."
"Once he asks me. He hasn't yet!"
"Yeah and you're such a prude you'll chicken out. I'm betting on it."
With that she walked away and out of the bar we were in, I then felt a tap on my shoulder awhile later. I turn my head to see Scott smiling at me. I stand up hugging him he chuckled.
"Hey, I was only in the bathroom. Where's Corinne?"
I sighed, "She left. Can we just go home?" I pulled away leaning up kissing him.
He smiled "Yeah let's go." We headed out of the bar in the parking lot he grabbed my hand pulling me back to him first kissing me deeply. "Before we go I have a surprise for you."
I smiled "Okay." He chuckled looking into my eyes. "You know how much I love you don't you? So much I would die for you?" I chuckled.
"Well please don't." I laid my head on his shoulder just as he whispered in my ear.
"Will you marry me?"
**End Of Flash Back**
I sat straight up in bed, I couldn't relive it again it was too hard then and I can't go back to it. I got out of bed walking into the bathroom throwing water on my face. I dried it off walking back crawling into bed. I sighed nervous to go to sleep, why was I so stupid to believe Corinne? How could she know I would've said no? Why did I say no in the first place? I wanted to be with him forever, but the fact that I could get hurt plagued me that he could leave me for someone else. I laid back down falling asleep again.
