Dear Lie: A phone call
(Sorry this ones gonna be short)
*****
It was Friday night and Bromwin had somehow convinced Shelby to finally get out of the house and try to forget about Scott for a couple hours. She knew it probably wasn't possible, as she had been trying all week, but Bromwin O'Brian was always up for a challenge. Shelby brushed her hair and sat on her bed to pull on the new boots she had bought today. The phone rang and Bromwin answered it.
" Shelby's room may I help you?" she asked. The voice on the other end for one was male; he laughed at her greeting before answering her.
" Hi is Shelby there?" He asked politely.
" Who's calling?" She said curious to if it was the infamous Scott.
" Scott" He answered curious to who he was speaking with. He had known Jess was at camp so there was no way that it could be her.
Bromwin squealed a little " Hold on" She said and handed Shelby the phone.
" Hello" She said curiously.
" Hey beautiful" He answered happy to finally hear her sweet voice.
" SCOTT!" Shelby said excited. " How is home?"
" Horrible, I can't stop thinking about you. Or the other night for that matter" He whispered.
" Me either" She smiled forgetting Bromwin and the rest of the world existed. " I miss you so much and it's only been a little over a week."
" I haven't really left the house" Scott laughed
" Me either" Shelby sighed looking at his picture beside her bed. " Bromwin is forcing me tonight"
" I'm guessing that's who answered the phone" He laughed.
" Ya she bothers me a lot," Shelby said sticking her tongue out at her.
" Brandon's making me go to some party, I don't want to go. Honestly I'd rather sit home and think about you" Scott said. Brandon ran into his room and motioned at his watch.
" Don't get mad sweetie but I have to go" Shelby said praying he wouldn't take it the wrong way. " I love you"
" I love you too" Scott whispered. Shelby could tell he was upset. " I'll call tomorrow ok? Maybe then you'll have time to talk to me." Scott said and hung up quickly. He took a deep breath looking at the picture of her by his bed and walked out of his room Brandon at his side.
" Dad were leaving" Scott yelled.
" Ok" Martin said emerging into the living room from the kitchen. "And son..." He stopped him as he walked out the door. " Try and have some fun tonight" He said and handed him the keys to the beamer. Scott smiled widely at Brandon.
" Thanks Dad" Scott smiled and hugged his father. They ran out the door and were on their way to Westwood.
Bromwin pulled into the parking lot and sighed looking at her friend. Shelby hadn't said a word the whole way to the party. She turned the car off and pulled the keys out of the ignition. She still said nothing and didn't move from starring out the window.
" Oh come on Shell" Bromwin sighed. " Don't do this to yourself"
" I can't believe he said that" Shelby finally spoke.
" Shelby he didn't mean it, he was just saying it because he's all upset from missing you so much... He loves you" Bromwin convinced her. Shelby sighed and opened the car door. She entered the party close behind Bromwin. Eddie ran up to her quickly and hugged her.
" I'm so glad your back for the summer, things haven't been the same around Westwood without you" He smiled and handed her a beer.
" Its ok I'll drive home" Bromwin said.
" Thank you" Shelby smiled and took a long sip of it. Her enjoyment was interrupted by a familiar voice behind her. She turned around to face the doorway. " SCOTT!" She said dropping the beer bottle on the ground, shattering in a million pieces.
