AN: Sorry I took so long getting this out i was having a mild case

of writers block. Nothing really new to tell..so i'll go into my

disclaimers. I own none of the original HG charecters but you

all know about my obsession with Hayden who i saw in a really

corny fox family channel move on friday night about a plane

crash. He was very good considering the script he was working

with and i discovered that my local video store has the virgin

suicides so since it was rented by someone else when i was there

I'm going to get it this coming weekend so if you've seen it can

you tell me how it is? I do own Melanie Stevens and anyone

else i dream up. Now on with the story.





I took my time walking to the lodge after i left

Peters office. Going to group was about as high up on my list of

things to do as going to prison. After about 5 minutes of just

strolling I came to the lodge. "here goes nothing" I said as I

opened the door. The entire group minus Sophie and Peter were

there. They were all talking amongst themselves until I

came...then the room got deathly qiet. I was about to make a

remark to them when Peter came in and told me to sit down

because group was about to begin. " Now I dont know why you

guys are acting this way but it has got to stop." Peter said with a

sigh. I let my eyes wader and i noticed that all of the cliffhangers

seemed to be almost ashamed of the way they had acted...well

almost all of them. David just sat there with that stupid smirk

on his face while he nursed the cut above his lip. I had been

staring at him as the blood rised up in me for a few minutes

when he looked up and for a brief second our eyes locked. I

quickly looked away and went back to listening to Peter. " ok

now group our topic for today is going to be anger. what makes

you angry? how did you use to deal with your anger, and how do

you deal with it now. Ezra why dont you go first"

"ok what makes me angry is my parents. theyre always fighting

its like they dont even realize what its doing to me. What it did to

me as a kid. Before Horizon I would deal with my anger by using

drugs, and lots of em. But since I've come here I've learned that I

dont need drugs to make me feel better and that there are a lot of

other ways to deal with my feelings like talking to you Peter." he

said with a slight smile on his face "awww how sweet I think I'm

going to throw up Ezzzzra" David said in a menising tone. "David

thats enough" Peter said with a hint of anger in his voice "

Melanie why dont you go next." Sophie said trying to ease the

tension in the room. " ok ummm i guess what makes me angry is

people who hurt me. It dosent matter if its physicly hurting me

or just pushing my buttons like some of us ( i said while looking

directly at david) do. I use to deal with my anger by going out

and partying. I just liked to get away from everything that hurt

me. Now that I'm here there arent that many partys ( at this the

cliffhangers let out small laughs) so i guess when people get me

mad i act out with violence" " good Melanie. I'm glad that you've

figured out why you act like that" After i went group went pretty

smoothly and everything seemed to be turning around for me...

until right after group had ended and i stepped out of the lodge

David came up to me. " Hey Melanie were you at a party before

you killed your old man?" " Shut up David. I'm not in the mood

to yell at you right now" I said proud of myself for being able to

control my anger. "whats wrong Lanie??? Dont you want to relive

that night? the newspapers made it sound like you had a field

day in there. they said there was a lot of blood. do you remember

it?" He said in the stupid cocky tone of voice i had grown to hate

"your such a jerk" I said as i turned and walked away. He

chuckled and I saw him begin to turn around from the corner of

my eye and that was when i turned and tackled him to the

ground. I had taken him by suprise but this time he wasnt going

to let me hit him easily. He immediatley began to try to throw me

off of him as i hit him all over. I could feel the tears coming

down my eyes. He had brought back so many memories and for

a brief second I actually thought that David was my step father

and I wanted nothing more than to kill him. After realizing the

horrible mistake i had made in identifying David I jumped off of

him but not before Peter came and grab me. "both of you in my

office now!" he said. Once we were inside his office and in chairs

that were far apart from each other he began to speak "you know

I thought that you guys had made up and I wasnt going to do

thus but after seeing your little fight just now I've realized that

things havent changed between you. Now I dont like to do this

to students but you two leave me no choice. Melanie I started to

tell you that I had a special shuns for you well here it is so you

better listen up. You and David are going to be on shuns

together. "WHAT??" David said jumping out of his chair. but

Peter just continued on. "you two will only be allowed to speak to

and go near each other, outside of classes that is. And im telling

you two this now you better make this work because if you dont

your not going to be to pleased with what else i have in mind for

you. Thats all now get to class and remember as of right now

you two can only talk to each other" once we were in the hall

and safely out of peters hearing range David whispered into my

ear "you better make this work because i know how Peter thinks

andI dont like the sounds of what he has in store for us." "great"

I thought. "not only am I about to get kicked out of here but now

my freedom depends on David." and with that we began the first

day in a long week of being with each other and only each other.


AN: Next time David and Melanies week of shuns continues and

we find out what else peter has in store but without knowing

how bad Peters plan is will they jepordize everything in a

moment of anger.
