Somewhere in Between 8
(The song in this fic is by Mariah Carey and it's called, I don't want to cry)
It had been two months, and still he hadn't said a word to her, he would disappear after group at night and she could never find him anywhere. Everyone was worried about him, and nobody knew how to help. When she was around he would sit quietly and not say much he even refused to be on shuns at the same time as her.
As she sat on the docks thinking about how it was only a matter of a few weeks that she would never the same again she thought about everything that had happened here and how much even the bad things had meant to her. It was the end of May and her finals were next week. But the one thing that would stick out in her mind was Scott and she knew no matter how hard she tried or what she did in her life, he would always be the only man she wanted. But she had realized a long time ago that maybe if it were meant to be it would be some how no matter what happened in the next few weeks. She heard footsteps behind her and turned around to see Scott frozen in his tracks. They both stared in silence, before Scott turned and began to walk the other way.
~Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done. ~
" Just walk away Scott, that's what you do best" Shelby laughed a little. Scott stopped and looked at her.
" Don't act like I'm the bad one here, you're the one who screwed up" Scott said angrily.
" Oh is that how it is? Aren't we mature! Ok Scott your right I'm the bad guy you're the innocent victim" Shelby said over the lump forming in her throat.
~Only emptiness inside us
Baby look what we've become. ~
Scott stepped toward her and leaned up against the railing. " Shelby I don't want to fight any more" Scott sighed.
" Ya, obviously you haven't spoken to me in two and half months." Shelby said matter of factly. " You hate me."
" Do you really think I hate you? You know better than that" Scott sighed. Shelby stood up and looked into his eyes.
" I thought I did, until you walked out on me instead of trying to deal and trying to make it work, no matter what we say now nothing is gonna change the fact that your going to Minnesota and I'm going to South Carolina."
~We can make a million promises,
But we still wont change. ~
" I never thought that we would leave horizon not being together," Scott said softly. " I just always assumed that we were together forever. I took what we had forgranted I guess."
~It isn't right to stay together
When we only bring each other pain. ~
Shelby looked up into his eyes and pulled him close to her. They both had such sadness in each other's eyes, they both knew that this would be goodbye. Shelby was leaving as soon as graduation was over next week, and after that she was off to South Carolina. Scott kissed her gently and smiled a little for the first time in months.
" I don't even know what I got so mad about before, everyone has dreams and I shouldn't expect you not to follow yours just so we can be together." Scott sighed. He had ruined his relationship with Shelby and now it was too late to fix it.
" I'm gonna miss a lot of things about this place but you definitely take the cake on that one, I don't know how I'm gonna manage without seeing you everyday"
~ I don't want to cry,
Don't want to cry,
Nothing in the world can take us back,
To where we used to be. ~
" No matter what, your still always gonna be my girl" Scott said he was crying now and didn't care if she saw. Shelby smiled as a tear ran down her face. She kissed him gently one more time and then turned and ran off the dock.
~ I've given you my heart and soul,
I must find a way of letting go,
Cuz baby, I don't want to cry. ~
