For Dear LifeChapter 1
Shelby walked into her daughter's room and over to her
bed, the 16-year-old Stephanie lay clenching her
pillow. Shelby shook her head, ready to throw it at
any moment.
"Stephanie!" she bellowed. Who would have thought she
would be a mother. It was an cinch at first but as
soon as she was a teenager. She wondered how Peter
dealt with them.
Stephanie threw the pillow, which Shelby caught then
bonked her on the head with it.
"Get up it's time to go to school. Billy will be here
any minute." She then walked out of her daughter's
room.
Stephanie rolled her eyes getting up mumbling then
walking towards her window throwing a baseball in the
window.
"Billy get up, my mom thinks you're gonna be here in
two seconds" She then turned and got dressed fast.
"Sam." Shelby said in the kitchen.
"What?" The 6-year-old boy asked from his cereal.
Shelby put on some coffee "You need to hurry up
because your bus will be here any minute."
The little boy jumped off the barstools and ran out of
the room. Shelby stood making some toast at the
counter when two strong arms snaked around her waist.
She smiled as he kissed her cheek. "Can I help you?"
she asked. Scott flipped her around giving her a kiss
"More than you know it." He then kissed her again.
Stephanie walked into the kitchen clearing her voice
"Okay that's enough of that both of you, children are
still in the house." She walked over to the cupboard
pulling things out making herself some breakfast.
Scott spotted a bus driving up out the window "Not for
long. Sam your bus is here!" he called. His son ran
into the room hugging his parents goodbye then ran out
to the bus.
Billy walked into the house without even knocking,
mostly a habit. He spotted the family in the kitchen,
Scott was getting some coffee and Shelby was buttering
her toast. Both of them had seen him come in, but
Stephanie hadn't. He walked up behind her putting his
hands over her eyes.
She sighed, "Hi Billy."
He chuckled "Oh come on you're no fun!" he said
walking around standing by her. "You ready yet?" he
asked.
"Do I look like I'm ready yet? Give me a second." She
walked across the kitchen over by Scott and took some
medicine and a syringe out of that cupboard.
Scott glanced at her "Need help with that hun?" She
shook her head, taking her shot.
"Nope got it just fine dad." She then walked back over
and picked up her food heading out of the kitchen. "I
have a game tonight so I'll be late." Shelby glanced
at her.
"Okay hun, hope you win. We'll try to make it."
"Okay! Children are leaving the house now! Your can go
back to making out!" She called as she left the house
with Billy in tow.
Shelby laughed at her daughter, walking over to Scott
and kissed him. He smiled but pulled away from the
kiss, which was very hard to do. "I have to go to
work, and if this continues any further I won't and
I'll get fired."
Shelby whined "Come on whose gonna fire you?"
"My boss for one!" He said smiling.
"Yeah right like the principal is going to fire you
for being an hour late and I'm pretty sure that all
them kids would like a day off."
"I can't argue with you anymore, you always win, but I
still gotta get to work!" He kissed her deeply. They
broke it off and Scott went to work.
Stephanie and Billy sat in his car making out. He
pulled away laughing, she looked at him funny. "What?"
"Just at how you were ragging on your parents this
morning about doing this." He said.
"Of coarse I am! I mean they're old, it's gross." She
said.
"Come on, we're just like them to say your brother.
You're just a hypocrite."
She shook her head "No I am not, I just don't think
they should do that in front of my brother or me for
that matter. Come on let's just drop this subject."
"Okay!" he said smiling at her then pulled her in to
kiss her again.
"Come on Steph!" Billy rooted her on from the stands.
Stephanie glared at the pitcher, baseball still stayed
her game, the school district would only let her play
softball for girls but it was still the same game she
thought. The pitcher threw the ball and she closed
her eyes hitting it clear across the field, she ran
with all her might around the field and slid into
home. She jumped up being safe and celebrated with her
teammates.
Scott, Shelby and Sam had been watching and cheering
from the bleachers. They walked over to her after the
game was won. Scott gave her a big hug
"That was incredible hun!" Steph smiled hugging him
back
"Thanks dad!" She then hugged her mother.
"Listen can I go to the party? They're celebrating for
us!" she asked excited.
Scott and Shelby agreed to let her go, she hadn't
really ever been into trouble. They trusted her.
Billy walked over "Hey." She smiled turning around
giving him a small kiss.
"Congrats!" he said smiling.
"Thank you, are we ready to party?" she asked him.
"You know it!" he said he then looked at Scott who was
watching him sternly. Even after watching this kid
grow up he was still a protective father.
Billy nodded and spoke quickly "Don't worry! I'll have
her home by midnight!"
Scott smiled laughing "Just making sure! Have fun
kids." They then left.
Stephanie smiled playfully at Billy then ran through
the field doing a leap as if she was dancing. He
walked over and started twirling her. She stood up
face to face with him.
"You are unbelievable." He said to her.
She blushed "Only because of you."
Shaking his head "Nope, I think you can do anything
you wanted to do in the world. This coming from
someone who has known you your whole life!" he wiped a
strand of hair away from her face.
"My parents have! Well not actually my father but my
mother, and yet she doesn't know everything about me!"
"They could if you gave them a chance to learn all I
have. Let's see here they know you play ball," he
said walking around her as if pondering.
"They know you love to dance, because they just see
you leaping down the stairs and through the house all
the time. Is there anything you can't do and all with
this illness?" he asked taking her in his arms.
"I don't let it get me down, I am just going to live
my life to the fullest with you by my side through it
all. I love you."
"I love you too!" He kissed her deeply.
"Come on, to the party we will go!" she said taking
his hand pulling him with her.
After The Party
Stephanie and Billy hadn't really been drinking,
Stephanie couldn't and Billy chose not to. They were
laughing on the way home.
"Come on you are like so scared of him!" she said.
"Can I help it that your father intimidates me? I've
seen his temper, you it have by the way." He said
driving. IT was raining and sort of hard to see but
he was driving slow and careful.
"I do not have his temper!" she slapped his arm
slightly.
He glanced at her "See you're getting all worked up
hun! Just like he does at times."
She rolled her eyes "Okay when have you seen my
fathers temper. I mostly see it when I don't take the
trash out until the next day or when I throw trophies
because I don't want to wake up."
He sighed "Our first date. You were still upstairs
getting ready and he like just reeled me about taking
care of you and making sure you're all right. Then the
rest of the time he just sat there and stared at me.
If I made one wrong move he would've blown up. Not to
mention I've seen the way he reels us in the game. He
once got in the refs face then moved to the other
teams coach."
Stephanie laughed "That's dad for you, I bet you with
my brother he's gonna be all go for it!"
Billy laughed "Even my dads not like that!"
They had stopped at a red light that was taking
forever to turn, Stephanie scotted over to him giving
him a kiss.
"Wanna sneak in tonight?" she asked.
"I probably will anyway. As soon as the coast is
clear, just think of your fathers temper if he finds
me in your room all night!"
Stephanie sighed "Like he's one to talk him and my
mother are doing it all the time they can't keep their
hands off each other."
He put his arm around her neck as she laid on his
shoulder "I know how they feel because we're the same
way." He said.
Steph chuckled leaning up giving him a kiss "I love
you."
"I love you too." He said the light had finally turned
green and he went.
He was in the middle of the intersection when he saw
head lights coming towards him, he steered his car
away but there was stil a collision. Stephanie
screamed "BILLY!!"
Let me know what ya think!
