Chapter 6

Shelby had packed Stephanie's stuff when Stephanie was in school Scott had even took her himself making sure she was there all day. Shelby had gotten the car packed, and made arrangements for Sam to stay with her sister. Bob and Susan wished them luck they had been coping with everything taking things slowly. Stephanie and Scott pulled up to the house just as Jess was leaving with Sam. He yelled out the car window "By daddy! Bye Steph, hope you get well!" Stephanie shook her head wondering what he was talking about. Scott had walked over to Shelby asking her.
"Everything ready?" She nodded they turned to Stephanie's questioning face.
"What's going on?" She asked knowing something was up.
Scott sighed, "Stephanie we're taking you somewhere to get help."
"You're getting rid of me? If you wanted to fucking get rid of me why didn't you just pull the plug!" She was getting angry.
Shelby held her daughters arm softly motioning her to the truck. "Stephanie we're taking you to Horizon, they can help you there."
Stephanie pulled away "You're sending me to that screw up school that two had to go to? I can't believe this!"
Scott was getting tired of this "Stephanie get in the car because you're going!"
"Fine with me, it'll get me away from you losers!" She sniped glaring at them getting in the truck. Shelby and Scott looked at each other then got in the car and drove off towards Horizon.

Scott and Shelby made small talk in the car but Stephanie refused to talk to them.
"What did Peter say when you talked to him?" Shelby asked.
"He told me things that were happening, you'll never guess who is actually a counselor there?" Scott asked.
Shelby thought a moment "Kat? She had always been talking about being a counselor."
"David." Scott blurted out, Shelby watched him shocked.
"Please tell me you're kidding." Scott shook his head, she continued "David? Okay turned the car around." She said.
Scott chuckled "Come on. I guess he's like doing a great job, he like had a total break down a few years back and went to Peter himself."
Shelby shook her head "I do not care, he hated us! Just think of what he'd do to her."
Scott moved his hand to holds Shelby's "Have some faith, everyone can change ya know" She shrugged.

They pulled up to the school, walking up to Peter's office. Knocking on the door, Peter opened it looking shocked.
"And I thought the call was shocking! My god, how are you guys!" He said giving each of them hugs. He motioned them into his office, Stephanie waited outside letting them talk to each other. Scott looked at her before going in "You can try to run, but even I can tell you, you won't get anywhere."

Peter smiled at them "What's up? I noticed you brought Stephanie and she doesn't look so happy about it."
"We need a favor Peter" Shelby begged looking desperate.
Scott seconds the motion "You're the only one we know who can help us…to help Stephanie."
Peter nodded "I understand now, she's gotten worse?"
Shelby sat down "At first she was on a death mission, now it's depression but whenever anybody goes near her she blows up at them. We were hoping you would help her like you helped us." She gave him a half smile.
Peter smiled slightly, this sure was a first for him "I guess I can try."

David walked down the hall knocking on Peters door. He heard Peter call from the other side "Come in!" He had been catching up with Scott and Shelby. David walked in handing him a file Peter looked up at him "What's this?" he asked looking it over.
"It's Ryan's file like you asked for." He replied not noticing Scott and Shelby in the room.
Peter shook his head "This is saying nothing, its only saying that he was busted at a rave and had drugs on him. I've already seen this."
David rolled his eyes "That's all it will say, I even got Gracie to pull some strings to get it for me. I talked to his parents and they seem to be pretending not to even know who he is…" He trailed off finally realizing that there was two more people in the room he looked at them then back at Peter.
"Where did they appear from?"
Peter smirked "They've been in here longer than you." David looked at them again.
"Scott? Shelby? Wow!" He walked over giving them each a hug which surprised them both "What brings you back here?" he asked.
Peter spoke for them "They brought their daughter, who needs help."
David nodded "You're subjecting her to the torture you both went through?" he asked.
Scott shrugged "Feels like a family tradition" he joked.
Peter stood up "I'm going to put her in your group."
David nodded "That's cool."
"What's your group?" Shelby asked. David chuckled
"I took over the cliffhangers, after Sophie retired! What fun I have."
They continued to talk and catch up for about five minutes until David and Peter went to greet their newest student.

"Hey Stephanie, I haven't seen you since you were 6. You've grown up." Peter said to her, she stood up rolling her eyes.
"And this is supposed to make what kind of sense?" she asked. Peter motioned to David "This is David he's your counselor, and he's going to be getting you checked in." he finished.
Stephanie walked pass them "Let's get this over with then I still gotta get home for TRL."
Scott and Shelby talked to her one last time "We'll be back to see you all the time okay." She said hugging her daughter crying.
Scott sighed, "You'll get help here hun, we love you." He said taking her in his arms. She didn't hug him back only stood there begging herself not to cry. Scott glanced at David and Peter "Take care of her will ya?" They all agreed. Scott and Shelby then headed home.

David had searched her bags not finding anything really in criminating he checked her shoe finding a cigarette. He spoke up.
"Stephanie what do you know about Horizon? What have your parents told you?" he asked.
She shrugged "I was here when I was six I know that my mom and dad each had to come here because their parents made them which is just like me. My parent's wanted to get rid of me so they decided to send me to the same screw-up school they got stuck going to."
David sighed "Okay, well the rules here are simple. There's no sex, drugs, no inappropriate touching and no fighting in anyway." He finished with that and took her to the nurse who gave her a physical. Peter had then caught up with them as he was walking her to the girl's dorm.
"The cliffhangers are in class right now but you'll meet them this afternoon" David said.
Stephanie spoke up "I shouldn't be here I'm not a screw-up like my parents were."
Peter now spoke "Stephanie you're here because your life has spun out of control. The same reason your parents were here. Horizon is a safe place a haven to get you away from all the other crap from your life."
Stephanie scoffed "My life is just fine until I was stuck coming here."
David shrugged "Well then I guess you won't have that much to prove, but you're still here so I suggest get over it, sorry but you'll miss TRL. Ya know if your life was fine I'm sure your parents would never have brought you." He finished Steph rolled her eyes.
They showed her the dorm.
