**********************************************************************************
Shelby walked into the lounge. It had been almost a whole month since the incident with Walt. She had gotton over it to. Thanks to the help of Scott and Daisy she had been able to tell the cops about Patty and Walt. She had also started eating and sleeping again. But she didn't get a lot of sleep since almost every night since the accident with Walt, her and Scott met at the docks. But still she was enjoying life, which she hadn't for a long time. Shelby snapped out of her daydream and walked over to the group.
Shelby: Hey guys, what did Peter want to talk about.
Scott: Not sure, he sould be here any minute.
Daisy, David and Ezra were sitting on the couch, while Auggie and Juliet were sitting on the floor cuddeling. Scott was sitting a chair by his-self.
Scott: Shel, you have got to be tired of standing up.
Shelby: ( confused) I'm fine.
Scott: Are you sure?
Shelby finally had gotton the hint.
Shelby: ( smiling) Now that you mention it....
Scott: ( interupting Shelby) That's what I thought.
He pulled Shelby down in his lap. Scott put his arm around Shelby's waist. He slowly started kissing her. They had been kissing constantly for about ten minutes.
Daisy: ( cough, cough) Sorry to interupt your fun but Peter is on his way.
Shelby: Thanks, Daze.
With that Shelby got out of Scott's lap and went to the bathroom with Daisy.
***********************************************************************
A few seconds after Shelby and Daisy left, Peter walked up.
Peter: Bad news guys, I know how you don't like the S.A.R. acadamy boys. But they are coming down here to stay.
Scott: Why?
Peter: Well there tornado warnings for the next few days, and there is not enough room at the acadamy so the senior boys will be here any minute.
Auggie: Where are they going to stay?
Peter: Well you guys and the boys will be staying in here.
Auggie: You mean just the guy cliffhangers?
Peter: No girls also. The cliffhanger dorms have not been checked for being tornado proof yet.
Scott: And the other dorms have.
Peter: That is correct. (hesitating) Now guys, I am going to need your help. You have to be on your best behavior because it's just me and Soph watching all of you.
Ez: What about there teachers?
Peter: Well they have enough work at the acadamy so they can't come.
David: When?
Peter: (confused) When what?
Juliet: He is trying to say when will they be here.
Peter: Oh.... in a few minutes.
A guys voice spoke up.
Voice: No, right now.
Peter turned around to see four guys from the acadamy standing at the door.
Peter: Oh sorry you kind of sneaked up on me.
Voice: No prob.
Peter: Okay why don't you meet the group.
1st guy: I'm Tod
Tod had blond hair and dark blue eyes. He was short and thin, sort of dorky but not dorky enough to be a nerd.
2nd guy: Matt
This guy had brown had brown hair and black eyes. He was tall and seemed to be very athletic and strong.
3rd guy: Ken
Ken looked like a version of Tod with red hair and blue eyes.
4th guy: I'm Mike
This guy was tall and sort athletic with brown hair and blue eyes. He didn't look like Matt though. You could tell he was trying to act like Matt though.
Peter: Okay guys meet the cliffhangers.
Auggie: I'm Auggie and this is Juliet.
Auggie pointed to Juliet.
Juliet: ( smiling) Hi.
Matt: (thinking) Way to perky. She reminds me of a doll. There has got to be a hot girl here.
Ez: I'm Ezra.
David: I'm David.
Scott: Scott.
Peter: ( noticing for the first time Daisy and Shelby weren't there) Where is Shelby and Daisy.
Scott: They went to the bathroom.
As if by call Shelby and Daisy walked out of the bathroom.
Peter: Guys, we will all be staying here tonight because of tornado warnings and that includes these boys.
Daisy: Of course you have to show us what higher learning is.
Matt: ( thinking) Can you say Mortisha.
Matt looked over at Shelby.
Matt: ( thinking) Now she is hot.
Peter: Now you guys have to stay in the lounge or you are in big trouble.
Shelby: ( sarcaticly) We know father.... we'd never disobey don't you know that.
Peter: Very funny, Shelby, but I mean it.
Shelby: Of course you do.
Matt: ( thinking) Very smart and funny too. She will be my girl for tonight.
After that Peter left to go to his office.
Tod: I'm Tod. Pleased to meet you.
Mike: Mike
Ken: I'm Ken
Daisy: I'm Daisy.
Matt: ( starring at Shelby) I'm Matt
Shelby: And I'm...
Matt: ( interupting Shelby) Hott with two t's.
Shelby: ( smiling) That's a first.
Matt: Can't imagine how.
With that Scott got up and put his arm around Shelby's waist as if saying she's mine.
Sheby: ( feeling Scott getting tense) Shelby and this is my boyfriend Scott.
Matt: ( still starring at Shelby) Wow.
Shelby: ( confused) What?
Matt: I thought it would be something like Rose or Lily you know beautiful but Shelby means perfect so that has fit you perfectly because you are the closes thing to perfect I have ever seen and I have seen alot.
Shelby: ( laughing) Perfect.... yeah right. I'm the futherest thing from it.
Matt: I don't see how that could be possible your funny, smart, and hott from your head down to your toe. And baby that is the closest thing to perfect you can get. Honestly I'm almost scared to touch you.
Shelby: ( confused) Okay.
Matt: I mean your so perfect it's almost as if your not real as if you could break. And I'd never want that.
Shelby: That's a first.
Matt: Is that an inventation?
Scott started to get fed up with Matt flirting with Shelby.
Scott: No it's not unless you want my fist up your mouth.
Shelby knew she had to get Scott away from Matt before he started fighting. Making sure no counsler was around she turned around and kissed Scott.
Shelby: (seductivly) Come on, Scott.
Scott: (smiling) Okay.
He started to leave but turned around and faced Matt.
Scott: If I ever hear of you touching Shelby, I'll kill you.
Matt: (sarcasticly) Ooh.... I'm real scared.
Shelby: Come on, Scott.
With that Scott and Shelby went outside.
***********************************************************************
Shelby and Scott were walking toward the lady cliffhangers dorm.
Scott: Why are we here?
Shelby: Well one, I had to take you somewhere before you had beat-up that stupid guy Matt. And two I need to get my clothes for this overnight in the lounge. So are you coming.
Scott: Yeah, be right there.
Shelby: Okay.
It had been ten minutes since Shelby had left Scott outside. She was just finishing packing and had threw down her sack on the ground. All of a sudden somebody grabbed her waist. She turned around to find Scott. He grabbed her and started kissing her passionatly. She responded to his kiss and started kissing him. He picked her up and layed her down on the bed. He slowly got on top of her in a sex like position. She didn't say nothing so he presumed she didn't mind. She had her hand on his wasit and he had his hands on her neck. He slowly started to move his hands down. When he came to where the shirt ended he lifted it up. But only enough to kiss her stomach. He moved back up to her face and they started kissing again passionatly.
She started to pull up his shirt. He started kissing down her neck.
Scott: Shel....
Shelby: ( breathing) Yeah
Scott: I love you.
Shelby: I ( breath) I love you too.
With that he started to unbutton her shirt. He had almost gotton up to the last button when they heard a tapping.
Shelby: What the hell was that?
Scott: (frowning) I don't know but it was just perfect timing.
Shelby: (smiling) It sure was now get up, Cowboy.
With that he got off of Shelby and pulled down his shirt. She just layed there buttoning up her shirt. When she finished with the last button he held out his hand. She accepted it and he lifted her up.
Shelby: Well I guess we should go.
Scott: Yeah.
With that they both left and walked back in the lounge.
***********************************************************************
The acadamy boys and cliffhangers were sitting in the lounge. Sophie and Peter were no where to be found. Slowly Shelby and Scott emerged from the doorway holding hands. Seeing them Auggie walked up to them.
Auggie: Meat, you better be glad you got a friend like me.
Scott: Why?
Auggie: Peter came looking for you guys. I covered for you though. I said Shelby was in the girls dorm packing her stuff. And you were in the bathroom you didn't feel to well.
Scott: Thanks man.
Auggie: No problem.
With that Sheby went over to where the girls were while Scott went over to the cliffhanger boys.
*******************************************************************
Meanwhile the acadamy boys were planning.
Matt: So what were they doing when you tapped on the window.
Mike: (smirking) Lets just say if I wouldn't of tapped on the window they would of gone all the way.
Ken: So what's the plan.
Matt: I've got to get Shelby in the girls dorm.
Mike: How though?
Matt: (frowning) I don't know?
Tod: Scott.
Matt: What?
Tod: You can get her in the girls dorm by Scott.
Matt: (sarcasticly) Great idea I'll just say ,hey Scott dude I want to go have sex with your girlfriend so will you just tell her to meet me at the girls dorm at a eleven sharp. Yeah right.
Tod: Who said you were going to ask him?
Matt: ( confused again) What? Tod you're not making since.
Tod: A letter.... (smiling) A letter from a person with no name she'll think it is Scott and she'll go to the dorms.
Matt: (smiling) You know I always did like you.
Mike: But how are you going to give her the letter?
Everyone started to frown. A few seconds later Ken spoke up.
Ken: I know, you can put it in her sleeping bag when no one is looking. She'll get it when she starts to lay down to go to bed.
Matt: Perfect.
Mike: (changing the subject) So how much are they going to pay you if you do this.
Matt: ( his smile growing wider and wider) Two hundread bucks. And of course everyone will know I can get whoever I want, whenever I want, and where ever I want.
Tod: But what if she doesn't want to sleep with you?
Matt: That won't happen.
Tod: Well her and that Scott dude seem pretty close. What if she is really commited.
Matt: Lets just say I get what I want at any price.
***********************************************************************
Scott had been staring at Shelby for the last hour.
Auggie: Yo meat, if you look at her any harder your going to burn a hole in her.
Scott turned around and smiled.
Scott: What?
Auggie: If you look at her any harder your going to burn a hole in her.
Scott: (tring to act inncocent) Who?
Ez: Only the girl you have been staring at for the last hour. Shelby.
Scott: (smiling) I can't help she is just so perfect.
David: Yeah right.
Scott: David, even you couldn't ruin my night.
David: Hold on, (joking) is that you Shebly?
Scott: (still smiling) Shut-up.
Ez: So is it love?
Scott: Yeah all the love in my body.
With that all the guys started laughing.
***********************************************************************
Meanwhile the girls had been talking also.
Juliet: Is he ever going to stop staring at you?
Daisy: Nope, I can tell you that.
Shelby just smiled.
Daisy: So amuse me, is it love?
Everyone smiled, mostly Shelby though.
Shelby: I think.
Daisy: You think.
Shelby: I've never felt like this in my whole life, and hope he feels the same way.
Juliet: So what is it like to be in love.
Shelby: (smiling) Well.... it makes you feel like your about to go sky diving or something. You have this fear of the parachute not opening and then when you jump it's the best thing you have ever done. It makes you feel safe like when you open the pachute when your skydiving. And you know that your gonna be okay. And you feel that for the rest of your life you could stay in the sky and be safe. You know.
Juliet: Wow.... I can't wait to fall in love.
Daisy: But then there is always a time when the parachute doesn't work.
Shelby: No, the parachute always opens or it never was love. It was lust and when that happens it's like you don't have a parachute so you have to decide are you going to jump or not.
Daisy: (smiling) And you jumped.
Shelby: I just hope I made the right decision.
Juliet: So it's like Scott is your parachute he keeps you safe but yet your still having the time of your life. I just hope that the parachute doesn't break.
Shelby: So do I.... so do I.
***********************************************************************
The boy cliffhangers had started talking again.
Auggie: Why do you love her so much?
Scott: I don't know. It's like I'm dancing.
David: Dancing?
Scott: I don't mean like broadway kind of dancing. I mean like dancing at a prom or something and Shelby is my partner. And all I'm doing is praying for this song to never end because if it does I would lose her.
Auggie: Wow.... I hope Juliet feels that way about me one day.
Ez: But why do you love her? What is it about her?
Scott: At first I thought it was just because she was there that night of the rainstorm and helped me through Elaine.
David: And it's not.
Scott: No. Remeber that day we watched that movie Pratical Magic because Peter wanted to show that we have to be strong and go to the police instead of trying to take care of it ourselves.
Ez: Yeah. he was talking about where Nicole Kidman went out with the sico and Saudra Bullock accidently killed him. He said it could all been avoided if Kidman just went to the cops in the first place.
Scott: That's the movie. Well remember when that girl made the postion for her dream man.
Ez: Yeah.
Scott: Well that's how I feel like I dreamed Shelby up. And we had to do certain things, I wish we didn't have too. But if me not doing drugs and Elaine not seducing me means I wouldn't meet Shelby. Then I would do the drugs and everything else. Just so I could meet her.
David: So what are you saying you loved her before you met her.
Scott: It feels like it.
***********************************************************************
Peter walked in about twenty minutes later.
Peter: Okay guys lights out.
Shelby climbed into her sleeping bag when she felt something. She lifted out of her sleeping bag a letter.
Shelby,
Meet me at the girls dorm eleven sharp.
Love you forever.
Shelby just smiled and layed down until eleven showed up.
***********************************************************************
It felt like forever to Shelby when eleven finally came. First she made sure Peter had left he wouldn't be back for another bed check until twelve. She got out of her sleeping bag and ran to the girls dorm.
The girls dorm was pretty cold inside. Shelby had put on a pair of jean and a button up sweater that showed her stomach. She waited for ten more minutes when someone called her from behind.
Voice: Hey sexy.
Shelby turned around to find Matt at the door.
Shelby: (upset) Can you please leave.
Matt: Why?
Shelby: ( getting more upset) I'm meeting Scott.
Matt: Oh your talking about the letter. I sent that.
Shelby: (now angry that she had been tricked) Then I'm leaving.
Shelby headed for the door when Matt grabbed her.
Matt: I don't think so.
Shelby: What are you doing? Let go of me.
Holding her tighter.
Matt: We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
Shelby: ( glared at him) I'd say the hard way because I'll fight you all the way.
Matt: Okay.
He started pushing her toward the bed. Shelby was fighting as hard as possible. Then she started screaming. He put his hand over her mouth.
Matt: We can't have this.
He saw a role of ducktape on the dresser and grabbed it and put it over her mouth. He then tied her hands together with the ducktape. Shelby felt so helpless. He threw her on Daisy's bed. He started kissing her stomach. Shelby was so tired from trying to get away from him that she just closed her eyes. And waited hoping Peter would come in time.
Matt started kissing higher up. He started unbuttoning her sweater. When it was all the way open and reavealing her bra he took his shirt off. Then he unbuttoned his pants and took the off. He got back on top of Shelby with just his underwear on. He undid her jeans and pulled them off of her. Then he went back up and undid the rest of her clothes. He took all of his clothes off also. Shelby eyes had started to fill up with tears when they were both naked. She knew Peter wasn't going to come. So she just laid there as if she was dead. Half an hour later he got up and started getting dressed. When he was all the way dressed he took off the tape on Shelby's mouth and hands.
Matt: If you tell anybody about this. I will hurt you. And I mean the people around you also.
With that Matt left. Shelby just laid there paralyzed. Finally ten minutes later she got up and dressed. She walked strait out of the dorm to the lounge.
***********************************************************************
Peter was doing bed check when all of a sudden the lounge door opened and in walked Shelby. She was all white and pale. She looked like she had seen a ghost.
Peter: Shelby what are you doing?
Shelby: (still not looking at Peter) I couldn't sleep. So I went for a walk.
With that she went and got in her sleeping bag. Peter finished doing bedcheck and everyone was there. With that he left.
***********************************************************************
Shelby wake up.... Shelby.
Shelby heard someone calling her name and opened her eyes to find Daisy.
Daisy: Hey there sleepy head. Everybody is waiting for you.
Shelby didn't look past Daisy to see everyone. She felt like she couldn't move. All of a sudden Shelby got up and ran to the bathroom. When Shelby reached the bathroom she started throwing up. After ten minutes of doing nothing but throwing up, Shelby came out of the bathroom to find all the cliffhangers, the acadamy boys, Peter and Sophie waiting for her. Sophie walked up to her.
Sophie: ( worried) Are you okay Shelby.
Shelby looked at Matt who just glared at her.
Shelby: I... I'm fine. I just have a bad headace.
Sophie: Okay. Come on everybody lets go eat.
With that everybody left.
***********************************************************************
Sophie and Peter were in Peters' office. The cliffhangers and acadamy boys were eating breakfast in the caffeateria.
Peter: You think Shelby will be okay Soph.
Sophie: I don't know. I have never seen or heard a peson throw up for ten minutes strait.
Peter: Should we take her to the doctor.
Sophie: I don't know. If we do Shelby will be real upset that we didn't trust here.
Peter: Then we will have to just call the doctor and ask him to come and give all the cliffhangers physicals.
Sophie: Peter, you are a genies. So when do the acadamy boys go home?
Peter: In a day and a half.
Sophie: So they will be here for the physical.
Peter: I thought we wouldn't tell no one until the doctor came and we wouldn't tell the acadamy boys what was going on until we find out what's wrong with Shelby.
Sophie: Okay.
***********************************************************************
Scott just sat down beside Shelby. He put his had around her. She pushed it off. Everybody starred at her. Shelby had never done that not even when she was sick.
Shelby: Don't touch me, Scott.
Scott: (confused) Are you mad at me?
Shelby: No, I just don't want no one to touch me.
Juliet: Wow girl you must be sick.
Shelby: Shut-up!!
She yelled at Juliet. And ran out of the caffeateria crying.
Juliet: I was just kidding.
Auggie: It's okay, Jules, we know.
Scott started to get up to go after Shelby. When Daisy grabbed him.
Daisy: Let me go.
Scott: Okay
With that Daisy started to walk off.
Scott: Hey Daisy!!
Scott called behind her. Daisy turned around.
Scott: Take care of her for me.
Daisy just smile and walked away.
***********************************************************************
Shelby ran to the lady cliffhangers dorm. She couldn't breath. She ran to Daisy's bed and started ripping off the sheets. She found a pair of sissors and started cutting them to pieces. She had to get rid of him. Daisy walked in to find Shelby cutting up her sheets.
Daisy: Shelby, what are you doing? That's my bed.
Shelby didn't stop she still continued cut them. Finally Daisy got the sissors away from her. Shelby hit the floor and started crying. Daisy sat down beside her.
Daisy: Shelb, are you okay? What happened?
Shelby: I can't tell no one.
Daisy: You can tell me. I promise I won't tell no one.
Shelby: I got a letter last night to meet Scott in here.
Daisy: Okay
Shelby: But it wasn't him.
Daisy: Then who was it?
Shelby: Matt, and he wouldn't let me go. I told him no. He.... he, he..... raped me.
Daisy: (turning white) Oh my gosh. Shelb, you got to tell Peter.
Shelby: No!! I can't and you can't either you promised.
Daisy couldn't say anything she did promise. So she just sat there and rocked Shelby in her arms.
***********************************************************************
It was lights out and everybody was in the lounge except for Shelby and Daisy. No one had seen them since this morning.
Peter: Guys, where is Daisy and Shelby.
As if they had heard him call their names the walked into the lounge. Shelby went a laid down in her sleeping bag and went to to bed. Daisy started to but Peter walked up to her.
Peter: Is she going to be okay?
Daisy wanted to tell him so bad. She wanted to tell him how that son-of-a- bitch had raped Shelby. But she knew she couldn't betray her friend.
Daisy: She'll be fine tomarrow.
Peter: Okay.
With that Peter walked off and everybody went to bed.
***********************************************************************
After breakfast the next morning Peter told all the cliffhangers to go to his office. But he didn't tell them why. Shelby still and didn't want Scott touching her. For some reason she felt dirty and she hated it.
When everybody got to Peter's office they all sat down. Juliet, Auggie, and Scott on the couch. David and Ezra got the other chairs. Shelby sat against Peters' desk. Daisy came over and sat beside her. Not saying a word but putting her arm around and holding her. It killed Scott to see her like this. He wanted to be the one holding her. But he knew Shelby needed Daisy right now. So he didn't say anything.
Peter came in and one after another he called them to another room. Each time they started to leave he said do not tell anyone you are having physicals at all. Then he sent them as far away from his office as possible. He let Daisy be second to last and Shelby last. When Daisys' physical was over she waited in the hall for Shelby. Peter didn't say nothing though as he called Shelby into the other room. Shelby knew that if she fought Peter about the physical he'd know something was wrong so she didn't do anything. She got it over with hoping he wouldn't find out. After Shelby had left Peter and Sophie went inside to talk to the doctor.
Peter: Can you tell us what is wrong with Shelby?
Doctor: (starred at Peter in shock) You don't know?
Sophie: No we don't Doctor. Will she be okay?
Doctor: Physically yes but mentally I'm not sure.
Peter: (confused) What do you mean?
Doctor: Peter, Shelby was raped.
Sophie: ( she started crying) What? How? When?
Doctor: I'd say with in the last thirty-six to forty-eight hours.
Peter: Do you know who did it?
Doctor: Afraid not but if he did not use a condom then I can find out by sperm.
Sophie: Did he get her pregnet?
Doctor: Thankfully no.
With that the doctor left leaving Sophie and Peter.
Sophie: What are we going to do?
Peter: I don't know. She is supposed to be safe here and then this happens. I think we should have group.
Sophie: Okay.
With that Peter and Sophie went to the lounge.
***********************************************************************
Everybody was in the lounge. Daisy and Shelby were by the window looking at the stars. Peter walked in he was glad to see the acadamy boys weren't there.
Peter: Okay guys group, come on.
Everybody got in a circle.
Peter: First, how do you feel right now?
Juliet: Happy. Auggie
Auggie: Comfortable. David
David: Bored. Ezra
Ezra: Tired. Scott
Scott: Worried. Daisy
Daisy: (looking at Shelby) Helpless. Shelby
Shelby: Sick
Peter: Okay guys now each of you ask one person a question about something in their life and they have to answer.
Juliet: Auggie, why did you go to the streets with your brother?
Auggie: Well I looked up to him. Which was a big mistake.
Auggie: Okay Juliet, why did you start cuttting yourself?
Juliet: I wanted my mother's approval.
David: Daisy, would you go out with me?
Daisy: Not in your dreams.
Ezra: Daisy, would you ever go out with David.
Daisy: No
Daisy: Scott, how did you feel when you saw Walt trying to rape Shelby?
Shelby looked down at the ground.
Scott: Helpless. You?
Daisy: Scared for her.
Peter: Okay now it is my turn.
Everybody looked at Peter.
Peter: This is a question for Shelby. Why didn't you tell me?
Everybody starred at Shelby not understanding the question.
Shelby: Tell you what?
Peter: (getting upset) I know Shelby. Now why?
Shelby: (getting nervous) What are you talking about?
Peter: ( upset, screaming) Why didn't you tell me that some bastard raped you the other night.
Everybody starred at Shelby.
Shelby: I don't know what your talking about?
Before Peter could say anything Sophie said something.
Sophie: Shelby, we know the physical showed that a guy raped you with in the last two days.
Shelby was trying not to cry. Peter got up and walked beside Shelby.
Peter: I love you like you were my daughter I thought you felt the same way.
Shelby: I did
Peter: Then why didn't you come to me.
Shelby got up and starred at Peter and started yelling with tears coming down her face.
Shelby: (crying and yelling) You weren't there. You weren't there when I screamed for you. You weren't there when he grabbed me and tied me up. You weren't there when he threw me on Daisys' bed. You never came when I prayed for you to come and I screamed for you. You weren't there just like she wasn't there when he came in my room. And you weren't there when he got up told me that he would get two hundread bucks now. You weren't there to stop it. You never came. Just like my mother didn't, just like my father didn't. I did not come to you because you never came. You didn't come when he threw me on the bed. You weren't there when he started kissing me everywhere. You weren't there when he tied my hands together and put tape over my mouth. You weren't there when he said if I told anybody he'd kill me. I've met the devil more then once ( refering to Walt) and you weren't there when I met his son (refering to Matt) and I had to do it by myself again. You weren't there when you promised me you would be. I didn't tell you Peter because he said he'd hurt my family. And he knew that my family was you, and Sophie, and Scott, and Daisy. But you know what Peter there is no such thing.... do you hear me there is no such thing as a family or love. Because the only family I have is Daisy because she was there, yesterday when I went to her bed and cut the sheets to shreads, trying to get rid of that memory. She was there to hold me when I cried. When I came in the other night past lights out you didn't ask me anything. You just went on. You didn't know that I had just come in from being raped in my best friends bed. Or that he was already back in his bed and just left me there to die. You didn't know that he had put a letter in my sleeping bag making me think it was from Scott. You weren't there when he came up behind me and grabbed me. Or when I asked him to leave and he wouldn't. You weren't there, now do you understand Peter why I didn't tell you. I was trying to protect you. Why couldn't you of just had bedcheck and hour early or fifthteen minutes early. I didn't care if he did it to me, I just wanted you there to hold me and tell me everything was going to be okay, like a father does. But there is no such thing as a father is there. And there is no such thing as trust and love. Because I trusted you Peter and I loved you like a daughter loves a father, and you weren't there. You weren't there.
With that Shelby just fell to the floor crying. Daisy ran up to her. And lifted Shelbys' head in her lap. And just rocked her back and forth. Everybody started to walk up toward Shelby and Daisy put her hand.
Daisy: No!! Don't any of you touch her. Don't even think about it. Just let her be, do you all hear me. Leave her alone, leave her alone.
Everybody cleared away and sat in chairs. Juliet was crying, everybody else was pretty much also. Peter felt horrible as if he had just let his own daughter down, Sophie felt the same way as Peter. Daisy sat there rocking her and singing to her. Just then Matt, Mike, Tod, and Ken walked in and starred at Shelby. Matt just smiled a devious smile. Daisy looked up at him she couldn't hold back no more. She put Shelbys' head down. Matt and his friends came up to the circle. Daisy walked up to Matt with hate in her eyes.
Daisy: You asshole.... you stay away from her you hear me you stay away from here.
Everybody then knew Matt had done this to her.
Matt: It's not my fault the little girl couldn't handle me.
That was it Daisy jumped on him loading ever fist with anger. Shelby didn't know what to do she just cried. Peter and Sophie finally got Daisy off of him.
Daisy: You stay the hell away from her or I'll kill you.
Matt: Get over it little girl. She is just a whore.
That was it this time Scott jumped on him. It took Peter, Sophie, Auggie and David to get him off of Matt. Matt had a black eye, a bloody nose, and a busted lip.
Matt: What is everybody's problem. I'll touch her all I want and I'll do it with pleasure. Get it she is a skank, whore, even prostatute.
Shelby had gotton up now. She walked over to him.
Shelby: ( in a weak and pleading voice) Go.... please just leave me alone.
Matt: Nah your to much fun.
Sophie and Juliet was holding Daisy back. While Ezra, David, and Auggie were all holding Scott back and still having trouble.
Matt: ( adding on) You know she has the cutest birth mark on her upper right theigh. And you won't belive how hot and sexy Shelby is when she is naked.
That was it Peter couldn't handle it anymore. He launched for Matt. Before Matt even knew what was happening Peter was on top of him hitting him over and over. Finally about ten minutes later Scott, Auggie, Ezra, David, Sophie, and Mike got Peter off of Matt. Matt had bruises all over his face now.
Peter: You need to leave and I mean now.
Matt and his friends left leaving Shelby in Daisy's arms.

Shelby had fallen asleep about an hour ago in the infirmary. So Daisy and Sophie walked around outside.
Sophie: Daisy, I'm sorry.
Daisy: For what?
Sophie: I'm sorry you never had a sister because you would of been a great one.
Daisy: I do have a sister.
Sophie looked at her confused.
Daisy: (starting to cry) Shelby's my sister. And I love her more then my own blood family.
Sophie: I know how you feel kiddo.
Daisy: You do?
Sophie: Yeah I look at Shelby like she is my own daughter. I just wish she had her father here.
Daisy: She does. He jumped on Matt for her. And he was the one who feels the worse about Shelby. Because I belive even though he doesn't admit it he loves Shelby like his own daughter. And I think she feels the same.
With that Daisy and Sophie walked along quietly.
**********************************************************************************
The next day Sophie came up to the breakfast table.
Sophie: Hurry up and finish eating and we'll go see Shelby.
Everybody: We're done.
Everybody got up and went to throw their trays away.
Sophie: Have you guys seen Peter?
Scott: No why?
Sophie: Well last night when I got home he wasn't there and when I woke up this morning he still wasn't.
They had just gotton to Shelbys' door.
Sophie: Oh well I'm sure he'll show up.
With that she opened the door and everybody walked in and starred.
Peter was in a chair right next to Shelbys' bed. He had his head on her bed. Her head was right beside his head. Peter had never ever stayed the night in the infirmary to watch a student.
Sophie: (whispering) Well I guess we found him.
Daisy: ( whispering) Should we wake them.
Sophie: ( whispering) No, we'll vist her later.
With that everybody left.
**********************************************************************************
It was lunch and Peter and Shelby still hadn't woke up.
Juliet: Wow could you guys belive this morning with Shelby and Peter. They almost looked like father and daughter.
Daisy: (cutting her off) They don't look like it they are it.
Juliet: But Peter isn't her father?
Daisy: Maybe not by blood, Jules, but by..
Scott: ( interupting her) love.
Daisy: Yeah, by love. You know I always wanted a sister. Coming here was the best thing in my life.
Everybody starred at Daisy she was always saying how stupid Horizn was not that it was the best thing in her life.
Daisy: I got a sister, the one thing I needed and the one thing I always prayed for. I wouldn't of got it if I didn't come here. And I know Shelby feels the same way.
David: How can you say that? Shelby was raped her just the other night.
Daisy: Easy because Shelby got something from here that she never had and we always had and never appreciated... she got a familey. Peter as a father, Sophie as a mother, me as a sister, and Scott as a soulmate.
Auggie: Wow that's deep even for you.
Juliet: But none of us have families.
Daisy: Yeah we did, Jules.
Juliet: Explain it to me then.
Daisy: My parents had a problem but they still gave me love. Even if it wasn't always perfect. And my mom jumped on my dad when he would hit me. David you have both your parents, yeah your dad is a little sico but your mom always stood up for you. Auggie you had family you just got mixed up in the wrong crowd. Scott before Elaine messed with your life you had a family. And now that she is gone it might be able to rebuild. But you only lost your family for a year or so. And then you had your grandparents. Ezra you may not admit it but you did have good parents yeah they may have used you but still you had them. And Juliet you may not have a Dad and your mom may want you to perfect but at least she wouldn't stand there and let your step-father hurt you. Guys you got to admit it we've all had rough times because of our parents but at least we had them, Shelby never did. When Walt moved in she was not even six years old. Imagine never having a family except for your first few years. I mean Shelby does not know who are grandparents are, her step-father put her on the streets and her mom let him, and her dad turned her down. I mean all she had was Jess and at least Jess had her real father.
David: Never thought of it like that.
Daisy: I don't think any of us did until last night when she gave us a reality check.
They were all quiet.
Shelby: Hey guys
Daisy: Shelby!!
Daisy jumped up and hugged her.
Shelby: ( joking) Okay Juliet get off me.
Scott got up.
Scott: Hey
Shelby: Hi
Shelby and Scott both sat down.
Shelby: So what were you guys talking about.
Juliet: That jerk Matt. I hope he goes to jail.
Shelby: He's not
Juliet: What do you mean all they have to do is give you one of those sperm-check things and the doctor has show where you were raped and he goes to jail.
Shelby: He's not going to jail because....(silent) because I'm not pressing charges.
Scott: (upset) That bastard raped you Shelby he deserves to be in jail for what he has done to you.
Shelby: What is your problem?
Scott: He raped you, he slept with you.
Shelby: Big deal Scott have you forgotten I used to be a prostitute so he is not the first guy I have ever had sex with.
Everybody became quiet.
Scott: Yeah but besides Walt he's the first one you've told no and he wouldn't stop.
Shelby: Well it doesn't matter I'm still not pressing charges.
Scott: (angry) Why not?
Shelby: I'm protecting you!!
Scott: Shelby, you need to be protected not me.
Shelby: If I press charges, Scott, then your going to jail until you turn eightteen.
Scott: What are you talking about Shelby he'll go to jail not me.
Shelby: No!! I heard Peter talking on the phone. If I press charges then he'll press charges against you and Peter for assult. Peter probly wouldn't get anything except community service since it would be his first offense. But you have a long rap sheet, Scott, and if he presses charges then you'll go to jail till your eightteen. ( starting to cry) And I'd rather live my life scared he'll come back then to now that I put you in jail. Because you are better then that, Scott, I can't do it.
With that she ran out crying. Scott followed her.
**********************************************************************************
** song starts playing in the background**
** Under a lovers sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around.
If you think that you won't fall
Well, just wait and see
'Til the sun goes down
Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feelin' so right
It will steal your heart tonight.**
Scott found Shelby on the docks crying. He went up to her and sat beside her.
Scott: Shelby, I want you to press charges.
Shelby: No, I'm not.
Scott: Shelby, I couldn't live with myself if he came back and raped you again or something else.
Shelby: I'm not and he won't come back.
Scott: (joking, smiling) Why? You think he is scared of no.
Shelby: (smiling) No.
Scott looked hurt and confused.
Shelby: He is probly scared of Daisy.
They both laughed.
** You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it.
(No matter what you do)
It's gonna get to your heart**
Scott: Well I could understand why he would want you.
Shelby: Why?
Scott: Because you're so beautiful.
** Ther's no escapin' love
Was the gentle breeze
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No mattter what you think
It won't be too long
'Til you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight, starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight**
Shelby: Scott
Scott: Yeah Shell
Shelby: I love you.
Scott: I love you too, more then life its' self.
**You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it.
(No matter what you do)
It's gonna get to your heart**
Shelby: Scott
Scott: Yeah Shell.
Shelby got up and hit his head.
Shelby: You're it.
With that Shelby ran into the woods Scott chasing after her.
He finally caught up with her and they both fell on the ground.
**You're gonna know, that I know
Don''t try, you're never gonna win, oh
Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feelin' so right
It will steal your heart tonight**
Shelby got up and sat on Scott. One leg on each side, and her butt sitting on his croch. She bent down and started kissing him. He kissed her back. He turned her around so that he was sitting on top of her like she had been on him just seconds before. But not putting any weight on her. They started kisssing more and more. He took off his shirt and started taking hers' off. As he kissed her on her neck and chest. As the stars started coming out in the sky.
**You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss

Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you

No, you can't fight it.
(No matter what you do)
It's gonna get to your heart**
