True Love Chapter 3
Scott and Shelby had just gotten out of Peter's office. Scott turned to Shelby.
Scott: Do you want me to go?
Shelby: Do you want to go?
Scott didn't know what to do.
Scott: Well..um...I don't know. I mean I havn't seen my friends for what seems
like forever and my dad wants us to work on our relationship but I don't want
to leave you on you birthday.
Shelby: Scott if you want to go then go.
Scott: Why don't you come with me?
Shelby: I can't.
Scott: Why not?
Shelby: Because I would just get in the way of you and your friends and family.
Besides they didn't drive all this way to see me. They came to spend time with
you.
Scott: Do you want me to stay?
Shelby: You want to go. I know you do. Don't let me stop you. Go have fun.
Scott: Thank you Shel! I promise I'll be back before 9:00 so we can still get
together at the docks.
Shelby smiled.
Shelby: I'll wait for you.
Scott kissed her.
Scott: I'll be right back.
Scott ran to tell Peter and his dad.
Daisy walked up. She looked at Shelby. She knew something was wrong.
Daisy: What's wrong?
Shelby: Scott's dad brought some friends here and wants to have a little party
for Scott.
Daisy: Let me guess. It's tonight. You don't want him to go but insisted he
went anyway.
Shelby smiled. Daisy always knew what was wrong.
Shelby: Yep.
Shelby laid her head on Daisy's shoulder.
A few minutes later Scott came back.
Scott: It's only noon. Do you want to go get some lunch?
Shelby: OK. Dais do you want to come?
Daisy: No I just ate.
Shelby: All right. See ya.
Scott and Shelby went to lunch.
Scott and Shelby spent the day together and before they knew it, it was 4:30.
Shelby was cuddling with Scott when Peter walked up.
Peter: Scott your dad is here.
Scott: OK.
Scott kissed Shelby on the cheek.
Scott whispered: I'll be back before nine.
Shelby whispered: Meet me at the docks?
Scott whispered: I promise.
Shelby watched Peter and Scott walk away. She didn't want Scott to leave. This
was supposed to be her day. But she didn't want to be the one to stop Scott
from rebuilding his relationship with his friends and family.
*At least he'll have fun* she thought.
Scott walked up to his dad's car and got in. He looked at Shelby. She looked
so alone. He wish he could spend the day with her but his dad was leavin the
next day. Steve interrupted his thoughts.
Steve: So what's up with you and this Shelby girl? Everytime you look like
your in love or something.
Martin got in and started the car.
Scott: That's because I am.
Martin started to drive.
Matt: What?
Scott: I love her.
John: Yeah right.
Scott: I'm serious.
Steve: Like you know what love is?
Martin: Scott I think your too young to know what love is. Besides none of
your girlfriends last. The longest you have had a girlfriend was about three
months.
Scott: Shelby's different.
John: How?
Scott: It's confusing.
Matt: Try to explain.
Scott: When I'm around her it's like everything's OK. Every time I look at
her I smile. I always think about her. When I look into her eyes it's like
the world stops and all I see is her. When I'm with her I never want to be
apart from her. When I'm with her I know that she loves me for who I am and
I feel important. I've never felt this way about anyone.
Everyone was silent for a few minutes.
Martin: We're here.
Scott: We're where?
Steve: I told you that when my parents got divoriced my dad moved away. My
dad moved here.
Scott looked at the house. He had always known that Steve's dad made good
money at his job but he didn't think he made that much. The house was huge!
Martin parked the car and they went inside.
Everyone: Surprise!
There were about one hundred people gathered in what looked like the ballroom
of the mansion.
*Oh no* Scott thought. *How am I going to leave early?*
Shelby was sitting at the docks. She took her watch out of her pocket. It
was 9:30.
*He'll be here* she thought. *He promised*
Music was blaring and people were always gathered around Scott. Everyone
kept telling him how much they missed him and that the football team
wasn't the same without him. The cheerleaders told him that they missed
him but he wasn't paying attention. Scott just kept thinking about
Shelby. Scott saw his dad.
"What time is it!?" Scott yelled to his dad over the music.
Martin looked at his watch.
Martin yelled back: 10:15!
Scott jumped up and ran to his dad.
Scott: I have to go! Can you take me back!?
Martin: Scott it's rude to leave so early. Everyone's here for you.
Scott: I don't care! We have to leave!
Martin: We will in a little bit.
Scott: Then give me the keys.
Martin: Nice try but no.
Scott: I have to get back!
Martin: Scott drop it. We'll leave in a little bit.
Scott: You don't understand...
Martin cut him off.
Martin: Drop it Scott! We'll leave in a little bit and not a minute sooner.
This conversation is over!
Scott knew he wasn't going to win. He didn't know the number so he couldn't
call Horizon. He didn't know what to do.
Shelby looked at her watch again. It was 11:20. Shelby couldn't believe it.
Scott had lied to her. She had never felt so alone in her life. Shelby put
her head in her hands and cried.
Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been pretty busy. I tried to make
it longer the usual. Thanks for reading. I'll try to have the next part up
soon.
