DEAR LIE
Consequences
**************
Scott took a deep breath as he walked out of the den. He walked into the living room, a group of girls to his right including Carly began whispering and giggling uncontrollably. He ignored them; their opinions of him were not important right now. He had to find Shelby and set things straight, if he lost her it would mean the end of everything that meant anything to him.
**
Shelby sat in the kitchen crying and listening to Bromwin trying to convince her that she could do so much better than that loser, Scott, anyway. But she was less than sold on the idea. Bromwin stopped suddenly and looked at her.
" I know that everything I am saying isn't making any sense right now but maybe you just need to get some rest and in the morning you'll see.." Bromwin began. Shelby put her hand up and interrupted her.
" I'm going back early," Shelby said calmly. " Peter needs some help getting the place going again and I talked about it with Jules earlier today and we both think we should go back before school starts."
" Tell me your just messing around with me here, your gonna let a guy ruin your whole summer" Bromwin said not understanding.
Shelby stood up angrily. " See that's the difference between you and me Brom, he's a lot more than just a guy" Bromwin stared up at her confused and angry and said nothing as she watched Shelby walk through the door back into the living room. " JULES" Shelby called. Juliet saw her and Shelby grabbed their coats and signaled to the door.
**
Scott still hadn't found her; Eddie had a big house so that wasn't helping much. He walked into the kitchen and saw Bromwin sitting alone at the kitchen table.
" She went home," Bromwin said without looking up to see who it was, she seemed to somehow know that it was Scott. " You better talk to her before it's too late"
" What do you mean too late, is she that mad?" Scott asked getting scared. " Bromwin what are you not telling me"
" Look Scott just talk to her" Bromwin said and walked out of the kitchen.
**
When Scott reached the Merricks home he could tell Shelby was there, all the lights were on and he could hear Jules squeaky voice coming from her window. He knocked on the front door cautiously hoping she wouldn't tell him to just go away. Something was going on that he didn't know about and he had a feeling he was about to pay the consequences for taking her for granted. Mrs. Merrick answered the door and sighed seeing him.
" Hi Mrs. Merrick" Scott sighed. Shelby most likely told her everything; her and her mother had become close over the summer.
" Come on in Scott" She said politely. Scott entered the house cautiously as if he were looking for someone about to attack him with a hammer. " Relax" her mother, said. Scott laughed a little and let out a sigh of relief. " Shelby is in her room," She said. Scott turned to walk down the hallway " Scott.."
" Yea" He answered.
" Please fix whatever happened to her, she's been so happy all summer and now she's back to the way she was when she first got home..." Alice pleaded with him. Scott smiled at her and went down the hallway to Shelby's room. He knocked on the door and Jules opened it smiling when she saw him.
" Shelby I'm gonna go get a drink be right back" Juliet called into the room. " She's in her bathroom, if she asks I didn't let you in" Juliet said and walked out of the room and down the hallway. Scott sat on the bed and sighed hoping that she wouldn't tell him to leave the second she saw him. If only he hadn't take everything they had forgranted, If only he had realized how important she was too him, maybe he wouldn't be in this situation right now and maybe he wouldn't have this feeling like a disaster was about to happen. She walked out of the bathroom and stopped short seeing him sitting on her bed.
" I am gonna kill her" Shelby said and walked across the room ignoring Scott's presence.
" It's not her fault I kinda snuck in" Scott said trying to cover for Juliet.
" Right." Shelby said sarcastically.
" Look I'm not here to argue with you" Scott sighed looking down at the floor.
" And why exactly are you here, where is Barbie?" Shelby asked angrily referring to Carly.
" Because I love you and I'm sorry" Scott said causing Shelby to laugh and shake her head in disgust. " Shelby stop and look at me, 24 hours ago we were perfectly happy, it was just a fight we can get through this but you have to talk to me here"
" Maybe I don't want to" Shelby said under her breath.
" What?" Scott said. And for the first time looked around the room, and noticed the half-empty suitcases and boxes lying around. " Wait a minute what's going on here Shelby?" Scott panicked.
" What does it look like" She asked. " I'm going back early to help out Peter with Juliet" Shelby answered. She finally looked at him and watched as a tear ran down his cheek. " Scott..."
Dear Lie
Your dumb
You think you've got the best of me
You think you won
Misread my voulnrability
" Wait a minute we get in one fight and you just bail?" Scott said angrily.
" This was more than just a fight, Juliet had to go and stop you from cheating on me that certainly says something about our relationship" Shelby said now crying herself.
" What does it say Shelby? That I was upset and had had a couple of drinks? Because you know the whole time you were all I was thinking about anyway" Scott said crying and standing up. " Shelby please just give me one more chance to prove to you how much you mean to me I wont hurt you this time I promise."
I got your walls
Now get the hell away from me
I learned your heart
" You don't get it Scott" Shelby began.
" What don't I get, explain it to me" Scott pleaded with her.
Won't let you un-nerve me
Won't let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt no more
" Scott do you know how I feel right now? I feel like everything I felt and thought that you felt for the past nine months has been a lie" Shelby cried.
Get out of my mouth
Get out of my head
Get out of my mind
Stop putting words in my head
Get out of my mind, your nothing but trouble
Get out of my life
Get out of me, out of me lie
" I can't be with someone who I feel that way about"
