Scott was silent. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, his whole world had just fallen apart and all he could do was stand there and cry. Shelby took a step toward him and gently took his hand. She took a deep breath before she spoke again.
" Scott its not that I don't love you, or even that I am mad at you. I think that this just made me realize that maybe we need some time apart." Shelby said calmly trying not to hurt him. Scott took a step away from her and yanked his hand out of hers.
" Some time apart?" Scott yelled his voice cracking through his tears. " Why?"
" Scott when one person becomes your whole life it gets a little over whelming and blinding" Shelby tried to explain. " I need some space Scott this is getting way to intense for me" Shelby said starting to put things into her suitcase.
" This can't be happening" Scott said. He looked up at her trying to remember how this all started. " When are you leaving?"
" Tomorrow" Shelby answered beginning to cry again. She dropped the clothes she had been trying to jam into a suitcase and collapsed onto the floor. Scott sat next to her and took her hand.
" Tomorrow?" Scott whispered disappointed. He hoped he would have time to convince her to stay with him. She shook her head yes and rested it on his shoulder.
" Scott I'm sorry" She cried. " I don't know what is wrong with me I just have to do this" Shelby said hoping he wouldn't hate her and he would understand.
The Next Day:
Shelby brought the last of her suitcases out to the car and sighed looking at the sun that was now setting. Scott had promised he would come over to say goodbye but it was getting time to leave and he still hadn't called or come by. Juliet carried out her last suitcase and put it in back of her car. Peter was letting Juliet drive them back so they didn't have to deal with one of the guards. Behind her Shelby heard squealing tires, she turned around and saw Scott running towards her, Brandon and Bromwin close behind him.
Bromwin hugged her and sighed. " I'm gonna miss you" She tried to smile. Shelby knew she would end up crying so she left her sunglasses on. " Keep in touch this time will ya?"
" I promise" Shelby said and hugged her. That was just about as sappy as Bromwin would ever get, she wasn't the emotional type. Brandon hugged her next and just smiled at her with that doofy look he always seemed to have on his face. " You take care of her for me?" Shelby said nodding toward Bromwin.
" Sure will" Brandon smiled at her, and walked away leaving Scott and Shelby to there good-byes. Scott sighed and took her hand. He looked up at the sky and sighed again trying not to cry already, he had only been there for five minutes. He pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to her.
" Don't read this until your outta here," He said. Shelby took it and shook her head yes. " I guess theres no way I'd be able to talk you into staying huh?" He laughed.
Shelby laughed and looked down at the ground not sure what to say. " I love you" was all she could think of. " You know that right?"
" Ya I know" Scott said.
" I'm gonna miss you" she smiled trying to cheer him up. She kissed his cheek gently hoping he wasn't mad at her and that things wouldn't have to end with him being angry.
" I'll miss you too, but its only a month right?" Scott was trying more to convince himself than her. " Hopefully by then you will have come to your senses and realize how irresistible I am" Scott smiled trying to lighten the mood.
" I'm sure I will" Shelby said laughing. " Your not mad at me right?"
" Mad? No, just heartbroken, or maybe I should say shattered," Scott said " But hey the sooner you get out of here the sooner I get you back" Scott leaned in and gave her a kiss that would have to last him a month, but he knew there was no way that it would. And before he knew it he was watching the car drive down the street.

Shelby had finally finished unpacking everything two days later. She was getting exactly what she needed some time with her friends to think about things. She and Juliet had been working hard helping Peter fix up the place and making lots of money. The sun was setting and she was done for the day. She collapsed onto her bed exhausted and looked over at her night table, Scott's smiling face looked back at her when she realized she had been crying so hard the whole way to Horizon that she had completely forgot about the letter Scott had given her. She quickly ran to her pile of dirty close and found the envelope. She dove back onto her bed and opened it anxiously.
Oceans apart
Day after Day
And I slowly go insane.
Dear Shelby,
I want you to know that I understand what your going through and that even though I seemed like it last night, I'm not mad at you. I just hope you understand why I reacted the way I did. You're my whole world, my life and the thought that you don't feel the same way scares me.
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain.
I see you next to me baby,
How can we say forever.
The only thing that has kept me going this past year was you and they way you were there for me no matter what. The thought of not having you around is killing me, tearing me up inside.
Wherever you go whatever you do
I'll be right here waiting for you,
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I'll be right here waiting for you.
For some reason I keep thinking about how I managed to fall for you this hard, I never believed in real love before you. But I do now, and I want you to know that no matter what happens that will never change. I will never love anybody the way I love you and I don't want to try.
I took for granted
All the times
That I thought would last somehow.
I hear the laughter and I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now.
I'm not gonna give up on us. I cant, because if I did, it would be like letting go of everything that means anything to me. So even if after you have your " time away" you decide you don't want to be with me anymore, your still going to have to deal with me. Because I am not giving up on us. I hope you know how much I love you, and need you.
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you.
So while you thinking about what you wanna do just take that into consideration. No matter what happens, I'll be waiting.
Love always and Forever,
Scott
Right here Waiting
