Swear It Again
Chapter 7
**Scott**
I walked home, walking inside the house. I picked up the phone dialing Juliette's number she left with me. I heard someone answer real quickly. "Hey Juliette?" I heard a guys voice "No she's not here right now, how can I help ya?" he asked. I sighed "I called to talk to her about a reunion that's coming up, she'd know what I'm talking about."
"Who is this?" he asked me.
I shrug "My name is Scott Barringer."
"Scott? Wow long time no talk, it's me Auggust."
I chuckled "Wow, so you and Jules tied the knot."
I heard him chuckle "Yeah well it took us a few years but we finally got here. So you're coming to the reunion?"
I chuckle myself "Yeah I'm coming to the reunion, Jules said she couldn't find some people to contact. Did she find anyone yet?"
"Well I thought she had contacted everyone, nope she has a list right here. She hasn't contacted Shelby or David."
I sigh think of how I'm going to say this "I found her, Shelby I mean."
"Really man? What her number and as soon as Jules walks in I'll tell her to call her."
I continued to give him her phone number then said bye hanging up.
I stretched out, I look around having nothing to do. Sitting back relaxing thinking of last years reunion.
**Flashback**
~May-2006~
I walked into the old school following the signs to where the reunion was being held. I looked around at people I knew I saw a tall figure walking towards me. I smiled at Peter shaking his hand.
"Scott it's great that you're here."
"Yeah."
I mingled for a little while with everyone. I leaned up against a table when Daisy walked over standing next to me. "Where's Shelby?"
"You tell me." I walked away from her. I stood next to Sophie talking to her when Daisy came up "Sophie did you call Shelby about this?"
"Oh yeah! I did I forgot to tell you, Shelby had her baby a little girl!" Sophie said excited a bit, her and Daisy talked about it. I sighed setting down my punch walking out of the room. Daisy followed me. I sighed falling to the floor she walked in sitting down next to me. I started rambling.
"She could've been mine Daisy. They should've been mine, but they're not. I tried so hard to help her whenever I could and she just pushed me away." I laid my head back.
"Scott, Shelby was always very independent. She probably thinks 'Ok I can take care of this little girl all by myself I don't need any help from anyone. You have to let her go and move on."
I stood up raising my voice a bit. "I can't move on! And I…I just let her go without going after her! I'm not just going to go ahead and forget her like nothing ever happened between us. She is the love of my life! I will get her back someday!" I then stormed out of the room.
A month later I wrote Shelby a letter but I was upset I never got anything back.
**End Of Flashback**
I sighed, wondering why she left. What went wrong? I walked upstairs packing up a bag for the reunion. I walked downstairs and outside checking my mail. I look around, it was now dark and the stars were out. I saw a car drive down the street parking in front of a house a ways down. The same woman from the park got out, I walked closer a bit to get a closer look. The little girl ran up to the door, they then vanished inside of the house. I didn't know what to think? Was I going crazy? I shook my head walking back inside.
~Two Days Until The Reunion~
I chuckled on my afternoon walk I was actually pretty excited about the reunion. I walked by the park spotting the guy I had met before Bob. I smile at him waving a bit, he jogged over to me letting the two kids he was playing ball with play around a minute. "Hey there! Scott right?" I smiled a bit shaking his hand "Right."
He chuckled "You're new here aren't ya?" he asked me I nodded.
"Yeah I moved here about two months ago." I replied.
"I've seen ya around. What do you think of it so far?"
I shrugged "It's nice a very friendly neighborhood."
"Yeah it is a very great neighborhood, have you met any other neighbors yet?"
I shook my head "Not really, I've actually been working a lot. It wasn't until a week ago that I started taking walks around. Those two of the Angels?" I heard him chuckle as I looked over at the kids throwing the ball back and forth.
"The best of them, my son Billy and that's his best friend Stephanie. I'm watching her until her mom comes to pick her up." I nodded. "Cute kids."
We then heard a horn honk and Stephanie yelled at Bob.
"My mom's here Bob! I'll see you before I leave I promise!" She ran off towards the car hoping in. The car drove off.
I checked my mail when I got home I found a forwarded letter but no name on the return address not really paying much attention to it. I walked inside setting the rest of the mail down opening it I read the letter very quick. I sat down replying to the letter. I was going to send it the next day before I left.
