If Only
Shelby had been walking for what seemed like forever. She was tired of feeling like she was living under a cover that Walt had put over her head. Everything she wanted seemed to somehow end up being ruined by him. She just couldn't let that happen between her and Scott.
As she walked back into the apartment she looked at her watch, it was after midnight, she shouldn't have stayed out this late without calling. Jules lay asleep on the couch. Shelby threw a blanket over her and went into her room making sure to shut off the light in the living room so Juliet wouldn't wake up on the way. She went into her bedroom and changed before realizing Scott was asleep in her bed. She looked at him and sighed. He looked so cute holding the bear he had given her for her birthday so long ago. But thinking about everything that he had said earlier, how could they possibly stay together. If she only reminded him of what had happened, if she made him feel that awful way, then she wouldn't want him to be unhappy, and she loved him too much for that. Before she knew what she was doing she had crawled into bed, underneath the covers with him, she couldn't help herself. She sighed as she noticed him waking up; she didn't want him to leave only to hold her for the rest of the night. He looked down at her and smiled, then he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him.
" Well hello Beautiful." He said sweetly.
" Hi" Shelby sighed. " I'm sorry about before, but Scott…"
" UH-OH what?" Scott asked.
" If you're not happy when you're with me then that's not what I want, I love you too much and if you're not happy with me then I don't want you to be." Shelby explained.
" Listen Shelby when I said that when I was with you, all I thought about was what happened, It was crazy talk you see" Scott explained. " Because I was thinking about it and really when we are together all I can think about is wanting to touch you or kiss you"
" Scott…" Shelby whispered.
" I'm serious Shell." Scott said looking in her eyes. " It's late. Lets just get some rest ok baby?"
Shelby nodded her head yes and rested her head against him closing her eyes tight and hoping this wasn't the last night she would feel Scotts arms around her.

Daisy woke up the next morning to her phone ringing. She grumpily rolled over to the night table and picked it up lazily.
" What!" she moaned.
" I think there is something we need to discuss" Ezra spoke.
" Freedkin!" Daisy said angrily. " Listen whatever you think you know you better forget"
" Mrs. Lipenowski if you would like to protect your friends I suggest you keep the threats to a minimum." Ezra said awfully self-assured.
" Get to the point, what do you want?" Daisy snarled.
" Tell Shelby to meet me ALONE at the restaurant at the Hampton in on 33 Broadway got it?" Ezra said.
" Yea, what time?" Daisy asked.
" Lets see its 9:30 now so I'd say at 10:30" Before Daisy could respond to him he had hung up.

Shelby woke up to see Scott looking down at her. She smiled a little and buried her head in his chest. He smelled so good and he kept her so safe and warm, she never wanted to move.
" We have to make it work Shell. We have no choice" Scott sighed.
" And why is that?" Shelby asked.
" Because I can't live without you" Scott said sadly.
" And I can't live without you" Shelby said nuzzling him happily. " I want to be with you forever"
" Then I guess there is one thing left for me to do" Scott said beginning to smile.
" What?" Shelby asked confused.
" Shelby will you marry me?"
