Daisy and Juliet are sitting on a bed. Daisy is reading her tarot cards and Shelby is walking out of the bathroom.
Daisy: Shelb, you want your tarot cards read?
Shelby: NO!! Get those things away from me.
Juliet: (confused) Why what's wrong.
Shelby: The last time Daisy read my tarot cards I left. And I already know what will be on them. Bad Luck. That's is all I have.
Daisy: Well if you already know what is going to be on them then why not just let me go ahead and read them.
Shelby: I said no. Why don't you go ask Jen.
Daisy: Can't.
Shelby: Why not? I'm sure you two will get a long okay. You both are very stubborn.
Daisy: Haha. I can't because Peter moved Jen to the ridgerunners this afternoon.
Shelby eyes started to light up. At the idea of getting rid of Jen.
Shelby: Daze, are you for real? Or are you just messing with me.
Daisy: I am for real.
Shelby: Yes!!
Shelby started to smile a one hundread watt smile. Daisy and Juliet started to laugh at their friends facial expression.
Daisy: See your on a lucky streek. So let me read your cards.
Shelby's face turned back to a stern face as she stared at her friend strait in the eyes.
Shelby: No. Read my lips n... o.... no.
Daisy: Come on. Please.
Shelby: No.
Juliet started to smile as she got an idea. She looked over a Shelby.
Juliet: I know why she keeps saying no, Daisy.
Shelby turned around and looked at her.
Shelby: I can't wait for this.
Juliet: You're scared.
Shelby: Oh please. I'm not scared of anything.
Juliet: Then why won't you let her read your cards.
Shelby: Just cause.
Juliet: Just cause your scared.
Shelby: I'm not scared.
Juliet: Prove it.
Shelby: Fine. Daisy read my cards.
Juliet got up with a smile and Shelby sat on the bed where Juliet was sitting. Daisy shuffeled the cards and laid them down. And started to read them.
Shelby: What do they say?
Daisy: They say someone from your past is coming into your future.
Shelby: So what does that mean? That someone I know from the past I'm going to see soon.
Daisy: Pretty much.
Shelby: ( a little disappointed) That's all. That's probly my mom coming up to see Jess. You know now that I'm not her daughter legally or emotionally anymore.
Shelby roled her eyes and smiled. She got off the bed just as Sophie came in.
Sophie: Lights out guys.
Daisy: Okay.
Daisy started picking up the cards and put them up.
Sophie: Telling the future again, Daisy.
Daisy: You know me to well.
Shelby, Juliet and Daisy all got in their beds.
Sophie: Night guys.
Juliet: Good-night, Sophie.
Daisy: Sleep tight.
Shelby: And don't forget, don't let the bed bugs bite.
Sophie: (laughing a little at Shelby's last comment) Night guys.
Sophie turned out the lights and left. After Daisy was sure Sophie was gone she turned around to Shelby's bed.
Daisy: Are you going to meet Scott tonight?
Shelby: No. I'm a little tired.
Daisy: That didn't stop you before.
Shelby: Oh well, it is now. Why do you want to know?
Daisy: You just seem strange these last few days. I mean you and Scott have been back together for almost a month now and you're eating again, thank goodness, but you've just seemed weird these last few days. I was just wondering if you and Scott had got in a fight.
Shelby: No we're not fighting. But I have been having a strange feeling lately. I don't know why though. Oh well I'm going to bed. Night, Daze.
Daisy: Night, Shelb,
Daisy turned back around and went to sleep.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shelby looked around at all her friends at the picnic table doing their homework. She was sitting beside Scott and Daisy. Strait across from her was Auggie who was sitting beside Juliet and she sat beside David. Ezra sat on the other side of Auggie. It was pretty warm afternoon and they had all taken off their jackets. They had sat there she knew for at least and hour doing homework. She squeezed out from between Scott and Daisy. She stretched her hands above her head showing her tanned stomach. All the guys looked up and stared.
Ezra: Wow.
David: Have you been sun bathing without me, Shelby. Because I'll be glad to join if you will be wearing a two piece.
Shelby looked down and saw that her stomach was showing. She quickly pulled down her shirt.
Shelby: Shut-up, David.
Scott: Yeah you better shut-up, David. Unless you want a black eye.
David: Sorry. But hey Shelby, if you ever want a real man I'm here.
Shelby: (smirking) Remember David, you said I was lesibien.
David: Shit. I knew that comment was going to come back on me one day.
They all started to laugh. Shelby leaned over her books and grabbed a bottle of water. She turned her back to the group and started to drink the water as she stared at the soccor game being played. A few seconds Peter came up with an older man who looked like he was in his mid-thirties.
Peter: Guys this is Jake Johnson. He is doing some bussiness with me. And he will be staying here for a while. Unfortuneatly there is no room in the counsler cabin so he'll have to sleep in your cabin guys.
Scott: Cool.
Peter: Jake, this is Daisy, Scott, Ezra, Juliet, Auggie and David.
Jake: Nice to meet all of you.
Shelby turned around to see Jake. She stared at him as he did the same to her. She dropped her bottle of water.
Peter: And this is....
Jake: (interupting Peter and still staring at Shelby) Jenny?
Shelby: Um... um.
Peter: (confused) Excuse me.
Jake: (turning and looking at Peter) Oh sorry.
Peter: This is Shelby. Do you know her?
Shelby and Jake starred at each other for a few more seconds.
Jake: No. Sorry I must of got her mixed with somebody else.
Everybody turned to stare at Shelby.
Shelby: Yeah sorry you must have me mixed up with somebody else. I'm Shelby.
Jake: Yeah.
They stared at each other for a few more minutes.
Jake: So where is my room.
Peter: This way.
Jake and Peter walked off. Shelby looked at them as they walked off. When they were out of sight Shelby picked up her waterbottle and sat back down.
Shelby: So what's he doing here?
Scott: Doing some work with, Peter. Do you know him?
Shelby: I said funkin' no. Okay. Damn it how many times do I have to tell that.
Scott: Sorry
Shelby gave him a small smile and started finishing her homework.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Daisy got up and started to leave the girl cliffhangers dorm. Shelby was in the bathroom brushing her hair.
Daisy: I'm going downstairs and see what everybody is doing.
Shelby: Okay. I'll meet you down there in a little bit.
She heard the door close and continued brushing her hair. A few minutes later she heard the door open again and footsteps coming toward the bathroom.
Shelby: Daze, it that you?
The bathroom door opened and in walked Jake.
Jake: No.
Shelby: What are you doing here, Jake?
Jake: I should ask you the same, Jenny, oops I mean Shelby.
Shelby: What do you want, Jake. I don't do tricks no more got it.
Jake: Well hey one more couldn't hurt.
Shelby: I said no.
Jake: Listen to me Shelby, no one finds out about us.
Shelby: There is no us. There never was. Remember you paid me to sleep with you. You were just like a regular customer.
Jake: Yeah I know. But no one finds out I paid for you. Is that clear.
Shelby: Crystal.
Shelby turned around and started to brush her hair again. Jake walked up behind her and brought her hands to her side. He started to rub them.
Jake: One time couldn't hurt. You never could resist me.
Jake pulled Shelby's hair to one side of her neck. He slowly bent her head to one side and started to kiss her neck.
Shelby: Stop. I don't do this no more.
Jake: Just be quiet.
Just then Daisy walked into the dorm.
Daisy: Shelby, are you in there.
Jake quickly backed away from Shelby and Shelby straitened her head just as Daisy walked into the bathroom.
Daisy: What are you doing in here?
Jake: I was just asking Shelby what time dinner was served.
Daisy: Oh. Seven sharp.
Jake: Thanks. I better get going.
Jake slowly walked out when Daisy heard the door closed she looked over at Shelby who was pure white.
Daisy: Shelby, are you okay?
Shelby: Yeah, I'm fine.
Shelby walked past Daisy and went and sat on her bed.
Daisy: Fine. Now tell me how you know Mr. Johnson?
Shelby: I don't know him.
Daisy: Yes, you do. Now tell me how or I'll go tell Peter what I just saw.
Shelby: Fine. I'll tell you.
Daisy went and sat beside Shelby.
Shelby: When I was on the streets Jake was a regular customer. That's why he thought my name was Jenny. That was what I told him my name was back then. I am so scared, Daze. He always got his way and now he wants me.
Daisy: Are you going to be okay?
Shelby: Yeah, I'll be fine.
Daisy: Are you sure?
Shelby: Yeah. So why did you come back.
Daisy: I don't know, I just had a bad feeling.
Shelby: Talk about ESP.
Daisy: Yeah.
Shelby had Daisy both smiled and headed for the door.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Scott sat at the table with the rest of the cliffhangers when Shelby and Daisy came in. Daisy went and got a tray but Shelby didn't. They both came and sat down Daisy beside Shelby and Shelby beside Scott.
Scott: Are you gonna eat?
Shelby: Nah, I'm not hungry.
Scott: Are you sure?
Shelby: (getting upset) Scott, don't push it. I said no.
Scott: Sorry.
Shelby: (now feeling bad for hurting Scott's feelings.) No, you were just worried. I'm sorry for snapping for you.
Scott: I shouldn't of pushed.
Shelby: But that's why I love you.
Shelby leaned over and kissed Scott. Scott smiled at her.
Scott: How about meeting me at the docks tonight.
Shelby: Sure.
Scott: Great. Eleven sharp.
Shelby: I'll be there.
Shelby got up and headed for the door. Scott just smiled after her.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Scott waited for Shelby at the docks. Shelby walked up and he smiled at her.
Scott: Hey.
Shelby: Hi. Scott about today at dinner.
Scott: (cutting her off) Don't mention it. I shouldn't of pushed you.
Shelby: You were just worried. I shouldn't of snapped at you. I'm sorry.
Shelby walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the lips. When she pulled away from Scott she looked at him in the eyes smiling.
Shelby: (playfully) Forgive me.
Scott: (playfully) I don't know. For the kiss I'll forgive you half-way.
Shelby: (playfully) Half-way. Well then you just won't forgive and I'm leaving.
Shelby said playfully tring to act mad. She turned around and pretended to walk off. When Scott grabbed her arm and twirled her into his arms and gave her a long, passionate kiss. When they broke away he looked at Shelby who was just starring.
Scott: (playfully) Now give me some of those and I'll forgive you for the rest of my life.
Shelby: Deal
Shelby leaned back toward Scott as they kissed again and again.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shelby walked into the cafferteria for breakfast. She glanced around and saw Jake talking to Peter. All of a sudden her appetite was gone. She walked over to where all the cliffhangers were and sat between Daisy and Scott.
Shelby: Hey guys.
Everybody saw that Shelby didn't have a tray and began to worry since they remembered she didn't at all yesterday.
Juliet: Why are you not eating?
Shelby: Just not hungry.
Auggie: Yo Shelb, you know your my homegirl and everything and I hate to question your answers but why are you not eating?
Shelby: I um... um
Shelby looked away to try to figure out what to say. She looked back at Auggie.
Shelby: Um I woke up early this morning and couldn't go back to sleep so I went a head and came in here and ate. Then when I went back to the dorm and laid on bed for a few minutes and just passed out.
Juliet: But you had your night clothes when I woke up this morning. As far as I could tell you were wearing the same shirt you wore last night to bed.
Shelby: (thinking what to say next) Um.... um this morning when I woke up I didn't change shirts. That's probly why.
Shelby looked away hoping nobody could tell she was lying. The rest of the cliffhangers started talking about something else. Shelby let out a breath of relief and started talking with them.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shelby walked out on to the docks just breathing in the night air. She knew she had to get back to the lodge soon since there was a group and she was already ten minutes late. She just didn't feel like facing the rest of the group. They had questioned tonight at dinner why she was not eating again. She starred out at the water. When she heard footsteps coming toward her.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Sophie and Peter walked into the lodge. They looked around still worried about Shelby.
Sophie: Does anybody know where she is?
Juliet: I don't.
Peter: I'll go find her.
Juliet: I wouldn't.
Sophie: Why not?
Ezra: She hasn't eaten in two days. We questioned her today twice. First time at breakfast she came up with this bogas lie. Second time she just snapped at us. So I wouldn't do it because she'll probly just yell at you and not come.
Peter: I wonder what is wrong with her. Scott, Daisy do either of you know.
Scott: No. I don't.
Daisy didn't answer. Peter knew automaticly she knew. Sophie knew that by Daisy's reaction she knew so did the rest of the cliffhangers. They all gathered around Daisy.
Peter: Daisy, what is wrong with her?
Daisy: I don't know.
Peter: Daisy, don't lie. Now what is wrong with Shelby.
Daisy: I already told you I don't know.
Sophie: Daisy, Shelby has to be really upset. Plus we all know the only reason she doesn't eat is because she's scared.
Daisy: (tring to correct Sophie) Oh don't worry he shouldn't be no where near her right now.
Everybody looked at Daisy. Right then Daisy knew she shouldn't of said nothing. She had just blown.
Scott: (getting upset) Who is him?
Daisy: Nobody.
Sophie: Daisy, what is going on?
Daisy: Nothing.
Peter: Daisy, Shelby could be in danger. Now if she gets hurt do you want to live a life knowing you could of helped her. Now who is he, and where is she?
Daisy thought for a few moments. She knew that if she told she would be breaking a promise to her best friend. But if she didn't she could hurt her friend.
Daisy: (took a deep breath) The guy I'm talking about is Jake Johnson.
Peter: (confused) What does Jake Johnson have to do with Shelby?
Daisy: The reason Jake Johnson called Shelby Jenny was because that was what he thought Shelby's name was. Because that was what she told him when she first me him.
Peter: (still confused) They said they didn't know each other.
Daisy: They do. ( Daisy took another deep breath) When Shelby worked on the streets, Jake was regular.
Juliet: (in shock) She slept with Jake.
Daisy: I think a regular was what she called him. She told her name was Jenny so he wouldn't be able to find her.
Scott: (getting upset) Why did she tell you?
Daisy looked down to the floor.
Daisy: The other day I left the dorm and Shelby was in the bathroom brushing her hair. Well I got the lodge and I just had a horrible feeling so went to check on Shelby. When I got inside the dorm Shelby was in the bathroom and Jake was in there with her. Well he made up a bogas lie saying he was asking her what time dinner was served. Well I told him and he left. Shelby was pure white. I could tell he was kissing her on her neck when I got in there. Because her hair was all to one side and she had little wet spots on her neck. Shelby walked over to her bed and I walked over there to her. She told me about Jake Johnson. Anyway she said that he had come and told her he was to make an *appointment*. Anyway she told me that she told she didn't do that no more. Well I guess that is when he started to kiss her and everything. To make a long story short she was scared but she said she would be alright. She said the one thing that scared her the most was no matter what it took he always got his way.
Daisy looked up to see everybody starring at her.
Daisy: But we don't have to worry because he is in your office working. Right, Peter?
Peter face turned white.
Peter: No, he isn't. He told me an half-hour ago he didn't feel good so he was going to lay down in the boys dorm.
Sophie: No, you have to be wrong. He wasn't in there when I went to check if Shelby was in there.
Everybodys face turned white.
Peter: Anybody know where she was going.
Daisy: To the docks.
Peter, Sophie and the rest of the cliffhangers ran towards the docks. When they got there they heard Shelby and saw Jake. Scott was about to run and jump on him when Peter grabbed him and held him back. Scott looked at Peter in bewilderment.
Peter: I want to know what she says to him. If he starts to hurt her we'll come in.
Everybody turned their heads to watch Shelby and Jake.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shelby looked at Jake. She didn't know Peter and the rest of the guys were watching.
Shelby: I told you Jake, I don't do tricks no more.
Jake: Come on Shelby. One last time I have a lot of money on me and some drugs in my briefcase.
Shelby: I don't want them. And the answer is still no.
Jake: (getting angry) You can't hide from it, Shelby. Once a whore always a whore.
Shelby: Well that's something I have to live with.
Jake: So let me help you live with it. At least for tonight.
Shelby: No. Do you not hear me, the answer is no. I've not doing that no more. Got it.
Jake turned around. Then turned back around and starred at Shelby.
Jake: (very angry) You will alway be my, Jenny. And there is nothing you can do about it.
Shelby starred him strait in the eye.
Shelby: As far as I'm concerned Jenny died two years ago on the streets. Just like Jen, Clarissa, Annie, Jane, all of them. They all died when I came here. So I'm sorry for your loss, but she's dead.
Jake face turned red. He walked up to Shelby and grabbed her arm.
Jake: Then I'll take Shelby.
Shelby: Let go of me.
Jake: No. Not until I get what I want.
Peter: I advise Mr. Johnson to let my *daughter* go.
Jake turned around to see all the cliffhangers along with Peter and Sophie looking at him.
Jake: (confused) Your daughter?
Peter: Yes, the one I told you I adopted. Now I suggest you let her go.
Jake: (tring to act sweet. Hoping they didn't hear him and Shelby talking) Of course. I was just helping her up.
Peter: You need to stop lying I heard everything and so did these kids. Now I suggest you go and get bags and leave. Now.
Jake: You can't do that.
Peter: I can and I am.
Jake: But you need my money to do bussiness.
Peter: I'll find someone else to do bussiness with. Now if youd don't want me to call the cops for statuatory rape then you'll leave now.
Jake: You'll regret this.
Jake walked pass Peter and went into the boys dorm and grabbed his bags and left. Shelby walked up to Peter.
**There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away**
Shelby: Thanks.
Peter: For what?
Shelby: (remembering the rape: An S&S lovestories: Can't Fight The Moonlight ) For being here this time.
Peter: No problem, kiddo.
Shelby: ( sarcasticly) You know your a hero since you saved me and everything. Your like Robin Hood of Horizan, you steal from the rich to save the poor at least in spirit. ( more serious) You really are a hero, Peter.
Peter: (more seriously) NoShelby, your the hero. That took guts facing your past like that. You are the hero Shelby.
**And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you**
Shelby smiled and walked over to Daisy.
**It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear**
Shelby: So you told them about Jake huh?
Daisy: (still a little ashamed about breaking a promise to her best friend) Yeah.
Shelby: Thanks.
Daisy: For what?
Shelby: For telling. If you wouldn't of there is no telling what he would done. And for being a best friend. I'm lucky to have you.
Daisy: No, I'm the lucky one.
**And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you**
Daisy and Shelby hugged and Shelby walked over to Scott.
**Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way**
Shelby: I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
Scott: Don't apologize. You were trying to handle things by yourself, Shelby. And that's okay. But remember I'm here if you need me.
Shelby: I know.
Shelby leaned over and kissed Scott.
**And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on

Shelby: I love you.
Scott: I love you too.

Shelby looked around at all her friends at the picnic table doing their homework. She was sitting beside Scott and Daisy. Strait across from her was Auggie who was sitting beside Juliet and she sat beside David. Ezra sat on the other side of Auggie. It was pretty warm afternoon and they had all taken off their jackets. They had sat there she knew for at least and hour doing homework. She squeezed out from between Scott and Daisy. She stretched her hands above her head showing her tanned stomach.

Daisy got up and started to leave the girl cliffhangers dorm. Shelby was in the bathroom brushing her hair.
Daisy: I'm going downstairs and see what everybody is doing.
Shelby: Okay. I'll meet you down there in a little bit.
She heard the door close and continued brushing her hair. A few minutes later she heard the door open again and footsteps coming toward the bathroom.
Shelby: Daze, it that you?
The bathroom door opened and in walked Jake.
Jake: No.
Shelby: What are you doing here, Jake?
Jake: I should ask you the same, Jenny, oops I mean Shelby.
Shelby: What do you want, Jake. I don't do tricks no more got it.
Jake: Well hey one more couldn't hurt.
Shelby: I said no.
Jake: Listen to me Shelby, no one finds out about us.
Shelby: There is no us. There never was. Remember you paid me to sleep with you. You were just like a regular customer.
Jake: Yeah I know. But no one finds out I paid for you. Is that clear.
Shelby: Crystal.
Shelby turned around and started to brush her hair again. Jake walked up behind her and brought her hands to her side. He started to rub them.
Jake: One time couldn't hurt. You never could resist me.
Jake pulled Shelby's hair to one side of her neck. He slowly bent her head to one side and started to kiss her neck.
Shelby: Stop. I don't do this no more.
Jake: Just be quiet.
Just then Daisy walked into the dorm.
Daisy: Shelby, are you in there.
Jake quickly backed away from Shelby and Shelby straitened her head just as Daisy walked into the bathroom.
Daisy: What are you doing in here?
Jake: I was just asking Shelby what time dinner was served.
Daisy: Oh. Seven sharp.
Jake: Thanks. I better get going.
Jake slowly walked out when Daisy heard the door closed she looked over at Shelby who was pure white.
Daisy: Shelby, are you okay?
Shelby: Yeah, I'm fine.
Shelby walked past Daisy and went and sat on her bed.
Daisy: Fine. Now tell me how you know Mr. Johnson?
Shelby: I don't know him.
Daisy: Yes, you do. Now tell me how or I'll go tell Peter what I just saw.
Shelby: Fine. I'll tell you.
Daisy went and sat beside Shelby.
Shelby: When I was on the streets Jake was a regular customer. That's why he thought my name was Jenny. That was what I told him my name was back then. I am so scared, Daze. He always got his way and now he wants me.
Daisy: Are you going to be okay?
Shelby: Yeah, I'll be fine.
Daisy: Are you sure?
Shelby: Yeah. So why did you come back.
Daisy: I don't know, I just had a bad feeling.
Shelby: Talk about ESP.
Daisy: Yeah.
Shelby had Daisy both smiled and headed for the door.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Scott sat at the table with the rest of the cliffhangers when Shelby and Daisy came in. Daisy went and got a tray but Shelby didn't. They both came and sat down Daisy beside Shelby and Shelby beside Scott.
Scott: Are you gonna eat?
Shelby: Nah, I'm not hungry.
Scott: Are you sure?
Shelby: (getting upset) Scott, don't push it. I said no.
Scott: Sorry.
Shelby: (now feeling bad for hurting Scott's feelings.) No, you were just worried. I'm sorry for snapping for you.
Scott: I shouldn't of pushed.
Shelby: But that's why I love you.
Shelby leaned over and kissed Scott. Scott smiled at her.
Scott: How about meeting me at the docks tonight.
Shelby: Sure.
Scott: Great. Eleven sharp.
Shelby: I'll be there.
Shelby got up and headed for the door. Scott just smiled after her.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Scott waited for Shelby at the docks. Shelby walked up and he smiled at her.
Scott: Hey.
Shelby: Hi. Scott about today at dinner.
Scott: (cutting her off) Don't mention it. I shouldn't of pushed you.
Shelby: You were just worried. I shouldn't of snapped at you. I'm sorry.
Shelby walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the lips. When she pulled away from Scott she looked at him in the eyes smiling.
Shelby: (playfully) Forgive me.
Scott: (playfully) I don't know. For the kiss I'll forgive you half-way.
Shelby: (playfully) Half-way. Well then you just won't forgive and I'm leaving.
Shelby said playfully tring to act mad. She turned around and pretended to walk off. When Scott grabbed her arm and twirled her into his arms and gave her a long, passionate kiss. When they broke away he looked at Shelby who was just starring.
Scott: (playfully) Now give me some of those and I'll forgive you for the rest of my life.
Shelby: Deal
Shelby leaned back toward Scott as they kissed again and again.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shelby walked into the cafferteria for breakfast. She glanced around and saw Jake talking to Peter. All of a sudden her appetite was gone. She walked over to where all the cliffhangers were and sat between Daisy and Scott.
Shelby: Hey guys.
Everybody saw that Shelby didn't have a tray and began to worry since they remembered she didn't at all yesterday.
Juliet: Why are you not eating?
Shelby: Just not hungry.
Auggie: Yo Shelb, you know your my homegirl and everything and I hate to question your answers but why are you not eating?
Shelby: I um... um
Shelby looked away to try to figure out what to say. She looked back at Auggie.
Shelby: Um I woke up early this morning and couldn't go back to sleep so I went a head and came in here and ate. Then when I went back to the dorm and laid on bed for a few minutes and just passed out.
Juliet: But you had your night clothes when I woke up this morning. As far as I could tell you were wearing the same shirt you wore last night to bed.
Shelby: (thinking what to say next) Um.... um this morning when I woke up I didn't change shirts. That's probly why.
Shelby looked away hoping nobody could tell she was lying. The rest of the cliffhangers started talking about something else. Shelby let out a breath of relief and started talking with them.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shelby walked out on to the docks just breathing in the night air. She knew she had to get back to the lodge soon since there was a group and she was already ten minutes late. She just didn't feel like facing the rest of the group. They had questioned tonight at dinner why she was not eating again. She starred out at the water. When she heard footsteps coming toward her.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Sophie and Peter walked into the lodge. They looked around still worried about Shelby.
Sophie: Does anybody know where she is?
Juliet: I don't.
Peter: I'll go find her.
Juliet: I wouldn't.
Sophie: Why not?
Ezra: She hasn't eaten in two days. We questioned her today twice. First time at breakfast she came up with this bogas lie. Second time she just snapped at us. So I wouldn't do it because she'll probly just yell at you and not come.
Peter: I wonder what is wrong with her. Scott, Daisy do either of you know.
Scott: No. I don't.
Daisy didn't answer. Peter knew automaticly she knew. Sophie knew that by Daisy's reaction she knew so did the rest of the cliffhangers. They all gathered around Daisy.
Peter: Daisy, what is wrong with her?
Daisy: I don't know.
Peter: Daisy, don't lie. Now what is wrong with Shelby.
Daisy: I already told you I don't know.
Sophie: Daisy, Shelby has to be really upset. Plus we all know the only reason she doesn't eat is because she's scared.
Daisy: (tring to correct Sophie) Oh don't worry he shouldn't be no where near her right now.
Everybody looked at Daisy. Right then Daisy knew she shouldn't of said nothing. She had just blown.
Scott: (getting upset) Who is him?
Daisy: Nobody.
Sophie: Daisy, what is going on?
Daisy: Nothing.
Peter: Daisy, Shelby could be in danger. Now if she gets hurt do you want to live a life knowing you could of helped her. Now who is he, and where is she?
Daisy thought for a few moments. She knew that if she told she would be breaking a promise to her best friend. But if she didn't she could hurt her friend.
Daisy: (took a deep breath) The guy I'm talking about is Jake Johnson.
Peter: (confused) What does Jake Johnson have to do with Shelby?
Daisy: The reason Jake Johnson called Shelby Jenny was because that was what he thought Shelby's name was. Because that was what she told him when she first me him.
Peter: (still confused) They said they didn't know each other.
Daisy: They do. ( Daisy took another deep breath) When Shelby worked on the streets, Jake was regular.
Juliet: (in shock) She slept with Jake.
Daisy: I think a regular was what she called him. She told her name was Jenny so he wouldn't be able to find her.
Scott: (getting upset) Why did she tell you?
Daisy looked down to the floor.
Daisy: The other day I left the dorm and Shelby was in the bathroom brushing her hair. Well I got the lodge and I just had a horrible feeling so went to check on Shelby. When I got inside the dorm Shelby was in the bathroom and Jake was in there with her. Well he made up a bogas lie saying he was asking her what time dinner was served. Well I told him and he left. Shelby was pure white. I could tell he was kissing her on her neck when I got in there. Because her hair was all to one side and she had little wet spots on her neck. Shelby walked over to her bed and I walked over there to her. She told me about Jake Johnson. Anyway she said that he had come and told her he was to make an *appointment*. Anyway she told me that she told she didn't do that no more. Well I guess that is when he started to kiss her and everything. To make a long story short she was scared but she said she would be alright. She said the one thing that scared her the most was no matter what it took he always got his way.
Daisy looked up to see everybody starring at her.
Daisy: But we don't have to worry because he is in your office working. Right, Peter?
Peter face turned white.
Peter: No, he isn't. He told me an half-hour ago he didn't feel good so he was going to lay down in the boys dorm.
Sophie: No, you have to be wrong. He wasn't in there when I went to check if Shelby was in there.
Everybodys face turned white.
Peter: Anybody know where she was going.
Daisy: To the docks.
Peter, Sophie and the rest of the cliffhangers ran towards the docks. When they got there they heard Shelby and saw Jake. Scott was about to run and jump on him when Peter grabbed him and held him back. Scott looked at Peter in bewilderment.
Peter: I want to know what she says to him. If he starts to hurt her we'll come in.
Everybody turned their heads to watch Shelby and Jake.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shelby looked at Jake. She didn't know Peter and the rest of the guys were watching.
Shelby: I told you Jake, I don't do tricks no more.
Jake: Come on Shelby. One last time I have a lot of money on me and some drugs in my briefcase.
Shelby: I don't want them. And the answer is still no.
Jake: (getting angry) You can't hide from it, Shelby. Once a whore always a whore.
Shelby: Well that's something I have to live with.
Jake: So let me help you live with it. At least for tonight.
Shelby: No. Do you not hear me, the answer is no. I've not doing that no more. Got it.
Jake turned around. Then turned back around and starred at Shelby.
Jake: (very angry) You will alway be my, Jenny. And there is nothing you can do about it.
Shelby starred him strait in the eye.
Shelby: As far as I'm concerned Jenny died two years ago on the streets. Just like Jen, Clarissa, Annie, Jane, all of them. They all died when I came here. So I'm sorry for your loss, but she's dead.
Jake face turned red. He walked up to Shelby and grabbed her arm.
Jake: Then I'll take Shelby.
Shelby: Let go of me.
Jake: No. Not until I get what I want.
Peter: I advise Mr. Johnson to let my *daughter* go.
Jake turned around to see all the cliffhangers along with Peter and Sophie looking at him.
Jake: (confused) Your daughter?
Peter: Yes, the one I told you I adopted. Now I suggest you let her go.
Jake: (tring to act sweet. Hoping they didn't hear him and Shelby talking) Of course. I was just helping her up.
Peter: You need to stop lying I heard everything and so did these kids. Now I suggest you go and get bags and leave. Now.
Jake: You can't do that.
Peter: I can and I am.
Jake: But you need my money to do bussiness.
Peter: I'll find someone else to do bussiness with. Now if youd don't want me to call the cops for statuatory rape then you'll leave now.
Jake: You'll regret this.
Jake walked pass Peter and went into the boys dorm and grabbed his bags and left. Shelby walked up to Peter.
**There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away**
Shelby: Thanks.
Peter: For what?
Shelby: (remembering the rape: An S&S lovestories: Can't Fight The Moonlight ) For being here this time.
Peter: No problem, kiddo.
Shelby: ( sarcasticly) You know your a hero since you saved me and everything. Your like Robin Hood of Horizan, you steal from the rich to save the poor at least in spirit. ( more serious) You really are a hero, Peter.
Peter: (more seriously) NoShelby, your the hero. That took guts facing your past like that. You are the hero Shelby.
**And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you**
Shelby smiled and walked over to Daisy.
**It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear**
Shelby: So you told them about Jake huh?
Daisy: (still a little ashamed about breaking a promise to her best friend) Yeah.
Shelby: Thanks.
Daisy: For what?
Shelby: For telling. If you wouldn't of there is no telling what he would done. And for being a best friend. I'm lucky to have you.
Daisy: No, I'm the lucky one.
**And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you**
Daisy and Shelby hugged and Shelby walked over to Scott.
**Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way**
Shelby: I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
Scott: Don't apologize. You were trying to handle things by yourself, Shelby. And that's okay. But remember I'm here if you need me.
Shelby: I know.
Shelby leaned over and kissed Scott.
**And then a hero comes along
