Well I'm sorry to say this but this is most likely to be the last time I post on Fanfiction.net for the reason that there's no reviews involved I don't even know if people knew there was a new chapter out with this whole chaptering thing it's just so confusing! Anyways if ya want to find this story anywhere go to http://www.geocities.com/thehgjournal and there's also a series of mailing lists I'm on @ http://groups.yahoo.com so go there! If ya need to know which ones to go to e-mail me or leave me your e-mail addy! I'm going back to old-fashioned and maybe if this one works and I get some reviews because I got like 1 because of the chaptering thing last time then I'm sorry! I'll keep the stories up here but they won't be updated! Anyways here's chapter 10, let me know what ya think!

For Dear Life
Chapter 10
The three guys heard a scream and started running towards it they were up on the cliff when they saw her. Scott ran over trying to grab onto her hands "Hold on Steph!" Ryan and Jamal kneeled down to help him.
Stephanie was crying hysterically "Daddy, please help me!" They all worked together along with Stephanie and pulled her up. Scott held onto her holding her "Oh god Stephanie what are you trying to do give me a heart attack?" he asked.
She just cried in his arms. Jamal and Ryan sat back and watched, Jamal was happy that they found her Ryan was envious of her watching her with her dad.
They all walked back together with the exception of Stephanie who only walked halfway, the rest of the way Scott carried her. They all stayed silent, getting back to campus. Scott set Stephanie down let her walk up to the school. He spotted Sophie, Shelby, and Sam out in front talking to Gracie now. Everyone else was making it back Scott had used the radio that Peter gave him to use for when they found her. Sam spotted Scott and Steph walking up the way "Mommy there they are!" Shelby looked to where he did running over to them pulling her daughter in for a hug, Scott joined in.
Shelby pulled away looking at her daughter "Oh I'm so glad you're back hunny!" she cried. Sophie then took Stephanie to get cleaned up, Scott and Shelby looked at her "Don't worry I'll take care of her" she said.
Scott looked to his wife asking, "What're you doing here?"
Shelby looked up at him "I couldn't just sit home and wait. Where was she?" she asked.
"She was on a cliff, we heard her scream and she was hanging from it." He ran a hand through his hair looking back at Jamal and Ryan "Thanks guys you helped a lot."
Jamal nodded "No problem, hope Steph is alright." He said walking off.
Ryan looked at him "Sure." And then followed Jamal.
Scott and Shelby had moved to Peter's office, a sleeping Sam on his couch.
Peter was sitting at his desk, David was in a chair and Sophie was sitting on a desk. They had been talking about the night's events and group.
"She's been like this ever since Billy died, on this suicide mission. No matter how much we had watched her she just kept fooling us. Not taking her insulin, doing drugs, drinking, then she landed in the hospital. We asked her what was wrong and she just kept say she wanted to be with Billy, after that we thought she had gotten better but it turned into depression and we didn't know what else to do." Scott stated mostly explaining to David and Sophie who hadn't heard the whole story.
Peter spoke up "Well we've been making sure she takes her shots, the nurse has been giving them to her. When was she diagnosed with diabetes?"
Shelby then spoke up "About three years ago, the doctors said that she had been eating too much junk food which made her blood sugar go up, she never really liked taking her shots and it took everyone awhile to get used to it, but she survived it. When she wants something she is relentless to get it, and she wanted to live." Shelby took a deep breath crying harder looking at Peter.
"What happened to my little girl Peter? I hate seeing how she hurts and I don't know what to do to help her." Shelby cried. "She's always been so happy, with dancing and playing ball. We never let go of her never let her think that her parents didn't want her or love her. She's just so broken right now letting everything finally get to her, Billy's death, diabetes, us."
Peter nodded his head speaking up "Yeah she mentioned about what happened with you two. About how Scott walked into the picture after 6 years have you ever thought about telling her things? She doesn't know why you were here." He said.
Shelby shook her head "I talked to you about that Peter I've been waiting for the right time to tell her everything about my past but I partially never had enough courage and another part of me didn't think it was called for because she was so happy."
David leaned over handing her some Kleenex "She's been having a hard time fitting in with the group. The kids have been ragging on her about both of you going here."
Scott nodded "Yeah I heard, one of the boys I was with Ryan I think was asking if it was a family tradition."
"What I've heard them say is that they think Stephanie is going to get extra special attention because of you. But that is going to be taken care of soon enough." David stated.
Shelby nodded "Thank you David."
Peter sighed, "What do you suppose we should do?"
They continued talking Ryan was sitting outside listening in on them through the window. He walked off thinking about all he had just heard.
~*~On the next 'For Dear Life'~*~
"How long have you been here?" she asked.
"Longer than anyone else, like two years. It's helped me a lot." Troy leaned on his elbow.
"I was so happy with him mom, how do I keep going without him though?" She was sobbing Shelby sat on her daughter's bed taking her in her arms holding her letting her cry.
Scott ran his hand through his hair eyeing him "What're you doing back here anyway David?"
