~Disclaimer: I own none of them, I'm just playing with them, and I'll be returning them when I get through.~
I will be finishing this series, and the trip up to the Solo Cabin will be in my next Fic entitled "Cabin Bound"
"To thine own self be true." ~William Shakespear.
Shelby stood alone in the center of the room. She had used every ounce of stregnth she had to seperate them before they hurt each other, and now both boys were on the floor. No one knew where the courage to get between them came from. "That's enough, guys." She snapped as if she were Peter or Sophie, both of which stood in the doorway watching the spectacle. Neither of them could figure out what had happened either.
Shelby stood for another few seconds before collasping on the floor next to Auggie. Peter rushed to her side. "Shelby, are you okay?"
It took her a few seconds for her eyes to focus on Peter. "Yeah. I just got a little dizzy." Daisy hopped off the bed and helped Shelby back onto it. "Really guys, I'm fine." Her eyes couldn't focus on anything for very long, and she began to feel dizzy again. Almost everyone was helping her into her bed now, with the exception of the two that had been knocked unceramoniously onto the floor. Those two were still trying to figure out how they eneded up where they were.
The tray was handed to Peter again, and he set it in front of Shelby. "Eat, it'll help you. Promise." He watched as she took a few bites of the carrot sticks. "There's my girl. Now eat a little bit of soup." Everyone was amazed at how childlike Shelby was. She wasn't arguing with Peter this time, instead she was doing everything that he told her to do. Eating a little of this and that. Enough to keep her stregnth up and enough to satisfy Peter. After a few minutes, her natural palor had returned, and Peter decided to start Group. "Before we start, would either of you like to explain to me what is going on?" He looked at Scott and Auggie, who were on oppisite sides of the rom, nursing their wounds so to speak.
"Nuthin's going on." Scott said harshly. His accent peaking out a little in his words. "Muchacho just needs to learn to play nice with others. A lesson I think he forgot when I was away." He started to stand, only to find Daisy's hand on his chest.
"Sit!" She commanded harshly, shoving him back onto the floor. He landed with a satisfing thud. Daisy wiped her hands togeather and looked at Auggie. "I wouldn't get up either if I were you."
Peter smiled at Daisy's comedic performance. "That's enough Daisy." He turned to face the guys again. "Outside, Now. I'm waiting." The guys both stood and walked out of the room as Sophie started Group without them. "Scott? You want to try again?"
Taking a deep breath, Scott looked onto the bed where Shelby sat eating her soup. "Auggie won't let me be part of the group. He thinks he's being 'all high and mighty protector of Shleby' or something." He looked into Shelby's eyes and she turned away. "She doesn't need protecting from me, Peter. I don't know why Auggie's being so hostile."
"Auggie? Would you like to respond?"
Auggie turned and looked through the window at Juliet and Shelby. They meant more to himthen they would ever know. He was going to keep them safe at all costs. "He expects us to drop everything and act as if he never left." His eyes looked directly into Scott's. "Meat, you've been gone through most of the things that Shelby's done. I've seen her at her worst, and you're just getting a glimpse of it. We can't live like this. Ever since you left it's been a bad re-run of 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' with Shelby, and you haven't been here to see it. I wan't trying to shut you out Meat, I was just trying to keep her from showing it again."
Shaking his head in agreement, Peter knew that he was on the road to getting these boys to work togeather. His only set back was that both guys claimed Shelby as theirs'. They had to figure out that Shelby belonged to herself, not anyone else. That was the problem that took them months to solve before the group split up before Kat's Graduation. 'This is going to be one bumpy ride.' Peter thought to himself, as he reached for the door knob. "Lets get back to Group."
The door slid open easily, and they could hear Shelby's voice from inside. "I don't need either of them to survive." She was telling the others. "I don't need to cling to them as if like they could protect me. They haven't before. All they ever did was claim me, and then when it came to helping me, they helped themselves first. They are what caused me to do what I did." Peter closed the door loudly, causing the group to jump.
Sophie smiled up at him from her place on the floor. Jessica sat in her lap, so that David and Ezra could share the couch with Juliet. The bed still held two solom looking occupants. "Come grab a seat." Sophie motioned to the boys. When they were both seated on the floor next to her, she turned to Ezra. "Okay Ezra, it's your turn. Tell us about your parents........."
