Dear Lie
*********

It had been a month since Scott and Shelby discovered how close they had been and every day since then were together. Shelby woke up in the morning to a knock on the door. She lazily rubbed her eyes and pulled her robe on over her favorite pj's.

" Hold on a sec." She yelled groggily as they knocked rapidly. She opened the door rubbing her eyes and yawning.

" Sign here" The deliveryman, said rudely. Shelby snatched the clipboard out of his hand and signed on the blank space. He handed her a long white box and Shelby slammed the door in his face. She took the card off the front of the box and opened it.

Dear Shelby,
I love you so much and would have no idea how to live without you. Maybe I don't deserve you, but I am so lucky to have you that I will never let you go.

There was no signature but Shelby knew whom it was from. She opened the box to see a dozen long stemmed red roses. Her mother walked in the living room and saw Shelby grinning widely and starring off into space. She walked over to the table and saw the roses.

" That's one cute boy you've got your hands on" Her mother smiled snapping her out of her daydream. " I like him"

" Mom he makes me so happy I don't know what to do with myself" Shelby giggled as she walked into the kitchen. She put the roses in a vase with water and brought them to her room.

" Peter called yesterday while you were at the movies with Scott" Her mother yelled. Shelby walked into the kitchen. " He said that he was looking for some kids to come up a little early and help him out with cleaning up some stuff, he said it would be a good chance for you to lower your tuition" Her mother suggested.

" I'll call him back later on this week," Shelby said not really interested in the offer. It was sweet of Peter to ask but all she wanted to do was be with Scott without a curfew or no touching policy.

Scott ran into his fathers Den hearing him call his name from the kitchen. His father sat stern faced in his rolling leather recliner chair on the opposite side of his desk, facing the window. He was obviously mad about something but Scott had no idea what it could be, he had made sure to be good all month so his father and he would be on good terms when he went back to school.

" What's up dad?" Scott asked innocently.

" Scott do you remember, Beth Harding?" His father asked getting up from his chair.

" Uh ya, that girl you tried to get me to go out with right? Before you and mom got divorced?" Scott asked.

" Yes." His father said shaking his head. " Well she is back in town with her father for a few days and I thought that maybe you could do your old dad a favor and take her out for the night, show her a good time." His father grinned.

" No way dad" Scott said sternly. His father's face turned red and he was obviously frustrated.

" Why not she is a very nice and beautiful girl Scott your lucky to be getting a chance with a great girl like this" Martin protested his sons obvious disgust in the idea.

" Because dad I don't know if you remember but I have a girlfriend her name is Shelby, and I don't want to date anybody else" Scott sighed not wanting to have this conversation with his father.

" Son your too young to be in a serious exclusive relationship, trust me enjoy being free while you can" Martin advised. " I'm sure Shelly is a great girl, all I am saying is that I'm sure she's not the one your planning on spending the rest of your life with so why waist your time on only one girl"

" Dad her name is SHELBY" Scott yelled. Brandon walked into the den hearing the yelling. " And what if I am planning on spending the rest of my life with her?"

" Son tell me you're not serious," Martin said shocked.

" Oh he's serious" Brandon joined in.

" Yes dad I am." Scott said ignoring Brandon's smart-ass comments. " She's the best thing that has ever happened to me and not you or anybody else is going to tell me that she's not what I need, because she's all I'll ever need" Scott looked at his father who had no response but to shake his head in disappointment.

" This isn't right Scott" His father finally spoke.

" Its just bad" Brandon said having no idea what they were talking about.

" A boy of your class should not be seen with some lower middle class trash," His father said harshly. At that Scott grabbed his father by his collar and pushed him up against the wall.

" You ever talk about her like that again and I'll kill you, don't think I'm bluffing either. " Scott said and stormed out of his father's office, running up the stairs.

" How's it going Uncle Martin?" Brandon asked idiotically.
