Secrets 7
Scott tossed and turned that night trying to understand why his father would do something like that, Shelby was the only thing keeping me alive and his father knew that. His father cared about him he was only trying to protect him, he knew that in the back of his mind. But he had never done that before and to all the sudden start making decisions for him as if he had been father of the year. Before he knew it, his alarm was going off and it was time to wake up. Auggie rolled over and sighed. He obviously hadn't slept much himself. They looked at each other and laughed.
" Morning" Auggie said walking into the bathroom.
" Ya" Scott sighed looking out the window at the sun shining brightly. "Great"
Scott got dressed and walked to the lodge. He wanted to get the visit with his father over so he could relax again. He only felt comfortable these days when he was with Shelby, Alone! But being alone was getting harder and harder. Peter was noticing that they were more clingy lately and took every chance possible to separate them. He missed her after only being away from her for a few minutes. It had started to scare him; he had been thinking about how this must really be it. Real love. When he entered the lodge Peter motioned to his office. His father was there already. He sighed; he hadn't even seen Shelby yet, but followed Peter into his office. Martin sat smiling in a chair across from Peter's desk. Scott sat in the chair next to him angrily.
" Good morning son" His father said chipper.
" You want to tell me what the hell you were thinking?" Scott demanded.
" Scott!" Peter said surprised.
" Son I don't know what..." Martin began.
" Giving Shelby that check!" Scott yelled. Martin's face dropped and turned red. " Did you actually think she would take it"
" Son" He began.
" Do you know what he did Peter?" Scott asked " He gave Shelby a check for 250,000 dollars to stay away from me"
" Is that true Mr. Barringer?" Peter said shocked. Martin hung his head in shame. " Scott why don't you go back to breakfast." Scott did as he was told.
" Peter that girl is no good for my son" Martin yelled.
" Excuse me" Peter, said taking an angry tone with Mr. Barringer. " You don't know anything about Shelby Merrick because if you did you would know that without her your son would never have come as far as he has, you should be thanking her for everything she has done, she helped him more in the past three months than you have in the past three years."
Mr. Barringer was at a loss for words. He stood in shock as his son stared at him in disgust. He had never seen Scott so angry with him. He said nothing but picked his coat up from hanging on the chair behind him and put it on slowly. He took the keys out of his pocket and walked to the door. Scott didn't even turn around to see him go. When the door closed, Scott collapsed onto the chair beside him, Peter at his side patted his back to calm him, but for once had no idea what to say.
Shelby sat in the girls dorm nervously wondering what was happening with Scott and his father, as selfish as it was she was more worried that Martin would make her out to be a liar than she was about his relationship with Scott. Juliet came into the dorm and looked at Shelby.
" Scotts dad just pulled out" Juliet said knowing that was what Shelby was waiting for.
" Thanks Jules" Shelby said dashing out the screen door and towards Peters office. As she rounded the corner she saw Scott walking down the front steps. She ran to him and hugged him without a word. " What happened?"
" Nothing I just told Peter what he did and Peter yelled at him and he left" Scott said, he was crying and wouldn't look her in the eye. " I'm sorry you have to bother with all this crap"
" Scott you know how much I love you right?" Shelby asked
" Ya, I know" Scott smiled down at her.
