Shelby sat staring up at the stars. She shivered as the snow came down on her nose. Christmas was coming and her thoughts kept creeping back to her mother and how upset she must have been when she said she wasn't going to come home for the holidays. She didn't exactly know why she was staying, Scott was going home to see his father and Daisy was doing the same. For some reason she just couldn't go back to that house yet, she wasn't even close to ready. She stood up and brushed the snow off of her face, she gave the lake one last look and sighed as she turned toward the girls dorm. Something inside of her was changing and she couldn't put her finger on what it was.
David watched as Shelby walked up the path and into the girls dorm. There was something up with her lately, she wasn't half as rude or sarcastic as usual and was even bordering on nice to him. Shelby was never nice to him. She has no idea who I am, he thought. Not a clue.
The next morning Shelby woke up early eagerly anticipating her last day with Scott before he left for home. Daisy left on Sunday but today was her day with Scott, she had promised him they could spend the day together. She quickly got dressed trying not to wake Daisy and Jules. She could tell just by looking outside that it was atleast below 20 degrees, and put on her hat and gloves.
Scott sat eating his breakfast looking over at Shelby. She promised as soon as breakfast was over she would be with him for the rest of the day she just needed some time with Daisy. He didn't even want to go home anymore, he honestly would rather spend Christmas with Shelby and his friends at Horizon, but he knew he had to go if he wanted to work on the relationship between he and his father.
" So when you leaving meat?" Auggie asked trying to get him to talk he had been even more quiet then usual this morning.
" Tomorrow morning" Scott sighed still looking at Shelby.
" You gotta stop this dude." Auggie said motioning with his fork to Shelby.
" Stop what?" Scott asked finally taking his eyes away from her.
" Your missing her already and you didn't even leave yet, look you got one day left together before you leave for two weeks so I suggest you enjoy it while it lasts" Auggie advised him.
Ezra entered the lodge with David and they both raced for the seat next to Daisy. Daisy sighed, just what she wanted to hear during her peaceful breakfast. She stood up and pushed her tray over to David.
" I am outta here Shelby see ya later" Daisy said and walked out of the room.
" slick EZ real slick" Shelby said and pushed her tray across the table. She gave them an evil glance and sat next to Scott at his table.
" You ready?" Scott asked taking her hand and standing up.
" Where we going?" Shelby asked excited.
" you'll see, hey Aug, cover for me?" Scott asked.
" No problem meat" Auggie answered.
TWO HOURS LATER:
" Scott we have been walking for like two hours, are we there yet?" Shelby asked.
" Almost now stop whining" Scott laughed at her. " Ok close your eyes"
he said sweetly.
" Okay" Shelby said curiously.
Scott led her through a clearing and sat her down on a rock. Shelby opened her eyes to a view of the entire village and all of Horizons campus.
" Scott its gorgeous" Shelby smiled standing up.
" not as gorgeous as you" Scott smiled. Shelby laughed a little and blushed, she hated it when he said things like that. " since I am not gonna be here for Christmas I wanted to give you something before I left." Scott smiled and pulled out a box from his jacket pocket, he handed it to Shelby.
" Scott you didn't have to....." Shelby said to him looking at the box.
" Just open it" Scott stopped her. Shelby sighed and opened the box slowly. Inside was a small promise ring. " it was my grandmothers. My grandfather gave it to her on Christmas when they were our age." Scott said hoping that she liked it. She was speechless, tears streamed down her face. " do you like it?" he asked sweetly.
Shelby laughed a little he was so adorable sometimes.
" Yes Scott its gorgeous, I can't believe you did this" she said sniffling a little bit. She avoided looking up at him so he wouldn't see her crying.
" Hey" Scott said and lifted her chin to see her face. " whats wrong?" he asked.
" Nothing its stupid" Shelby said shaking her head.
" Nothing you say could ever be stupid." Scott smiled holding her close.
" I Don't want you to go." Shelby said crying. " I just have this feeling that your going to go home and realize what your missing and not come back. I am going to miss you so much. I love you and I know its selfish but you can't stay there I need you" Shelby cried.
