Pt 9.

"Oh Scott, um hi" Shelby Said when she realized it was Scott.

"Hi" Scott replied with a smirk "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah it was great" Shelby said with a smile, thinking about the night. A smile, which a moment later disappeared. "So great in fact, that I am going in now just so YOU don't get the chance to ruin it"

"Shelb-Wait" Scott said as she started to walk away "I don't want to ruin you evening... I wanted to apologize.

"If you are only going to apologize because Queenie told you too, I am not interested" Shelby said

"She's not why..... I DO want to apologize. I feel really bad"

"The almighty Scott Berringer feels bad! Not this I have got to hear" Shelby said with a smirk, walking back to the bench.

"Take a seat" Scott said motioning to the bench.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Shelby said with a laugh.

"What? Scott asked slightly confused.

"Ok, I may not be Juliet but ever I know that I should sit on that dirty bench in this dress" Shelby said moving her hands around wildly as she spoke, motioning to the bench and then to her dress.

"Fine" Scott said with a small smirk, grabbing a towel off of a laundry line, that was hanging next to the cabin, and then placed in neatly on the bench "Better?"

"Thanks" Shelby said, as she sat down the bench, carefully moving her dress around so as not wrinkle it. Once she was all settled she looked up at Scott with an expectant eyes "Tonight would be good Scott"

"I just wanted to say I am sorry for saying all that stuff about you being a whore" Scott said nervously "Not only was I way out of line but I also don't know enough about you to make that kind of judgement call."

"that's right you don't" Shelby snapped " Now if you are finished, I am quiet cold, so I will be going inside.

"Actually I'm not" Scott said, slipping his jacket off, and placing it around Shelby's Shoulders. "No wonder your Cold though, that dress has no back."

"Oh! Goody! Now your going to start critiquing my clothes." Shelby exclaimed.

"No!" Scott said quickly "I like it. you look amazing... I um mean you look nice"

"Thanks" Shelby replied with a small laugh.

"So... yeah, I am really sorry if I hurt.... I didn't mean too" Scott said stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Scott, you can't call someone a whore, and basically tell them you don't care if they get raped and expect that it's not going to kind of hurt the," Shelby said, her eyes filled with hurt.

"I know.. Shelby, I didn't mean any of it... I really didn't" Scott said looking her in the eyes.

"Yeah well.. what's done is don't, right" Shelby said, rolling her eyes, as to avoid eye contact with Scott. And to keep the tears that where forming to spill down her cheeks. "But Scott, here is what I don't get. Why would you come in and start a fight with me about Nikolas in the first place?"

"I wasn't trying to start a fight... I was trying to protect you" Scott said softly, looking at the ground.

"First of all, I Don't need your protection, and 2nd why?! You hate me remember. you want Juliet!"

"What do you two do, compare notes on me!" Scott said softly, running his fingers threw his hair in frustration.

"What! No! You two where only making out in the of the kitchen" Shelby exclaimed

"Oh... you saw that?"

"New York saw that Scott!!" Shelby said loudly

"Wait... what does this have to do with anything?" Scott questioned.

"I don't know.. you tell me."

"Huh?"

"Making the branch fall... very smooth Scott" Shelby said making a face at him.

"How'd you find out about that? Scott asked growing slightly pale.

" I put the pieces together.... you where staring at us in the lodge, then I see you not far behind up in the main courtyard, then the tree fell, for no apparent reason, then Juliet was whining about you standing her up.... You really stepped over your boundaries there Scott. You do know what Boundaries are, don't you Scott?"

"I was trying to watch out for you!"

"Oh really? Why Scott? Explain to me,why I have become the one your always 'protecting' And from WHAT?! It's been proven that Nikolas is far from a bad guy. Maybe it's not that your protecting me. Maybe it's that your jealous!" Shelby said

"What?!!" Scott demanded

"Your Jealous! That I don't want you anymore. That I have moved on " Shelby said hotheadedly "Well That's too damn bad! Your going to have to get over it! You picked your bed... now lay in it!"

"Shelby I-"

"You know it's almost kind of funny how selfish you are" Shelby said with a soft sarcastic laugh. "It's not even that YOU want me... you just don't want me with someone else! You hate not always being the center of attention! Oh well! Because for once Scott, I am really happy, so let me be!. good Night!"

Shelby stood up, smoothed her dress and started to walk towards the cabin. Only, Scott quickly grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back towards him. Shelby shot him a quizzical, very angry look.

"I do want you" Scott said quietly, then pulled her towards him, and kissed her passionately.

Shelby fought the kiss for a few second, but to no avail. She gave in. She kissed him back passionately. Then quickly she pushed him away

"You don't even know me" Shelby said, then walked calmly up the stairs to her cabin, and inside, not once looking back.

"But I want to" Scott said softly, to himself, then turned and walked slowly in the direction of his cabin, for night of restless sleep.
