CHAPTER SEVEN
"Jessica, Jessica sweetie come on wake up." Jessica felt someone shaking her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Sophie standing there. She smiled a little. "Hey, I've got some good news for you. Your parents are taking Jared out of the school and Evan is getting kicked out." Sophie said. She rubbed Jessica's hand.
"When I go back to Horizon?" Jessica asked.
"In a few days." Sophie said.
"Where's Scott?" Jessica asked.
"He's at Horizon. You'll see him when you get out." Sophie said. Jessica was too tired and sore to try to talk her into letting Scott come to see her. She just closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Sophie rubbed her hand and walked out of the room.
Everything went pretty much back to normal back at Horizon. Evan was leaving the same day Jessica came back and Jared was already gone. Scott and Shelby were still fighting. She would try talking to him but his mind was set of Jessica and if she was ok or not. He loved Shelby and wanted to be with her but the time wasn't right, right now.
"Ok Cliffhangers, as you all know, Jessica is coming back today. I believe you are all aware of what happened to her." Peter began saying.
"Oh Peter I never told them, I thought you did." Sophie said.
"Ok uh, you all know the relationship between Jessica and Evan, well that relationship turned violent and she was sent to the hospital. She is coming back today. Her wounds are still not healed. Her lip is still a little busted and her two black eyes are started to go away. The swelling of her face as gone down and the bruises on her back and arms are gone." Peter said. "Roger is on his way back with her." Peter said.
Everyone sat there with blank expressions on their face. None of them knew what happened, not even Shelby. The only ones that weren't shocked were Daisy and Scott.
"Anything any of you would like to say?" Peter asked.
"What's going to happen to Evan?" Juliette said. She wasn't concerned about him; she was scared he would still be around.
"He is going home and to boot camp." Peter said. "His dad is picking him up today." Just then a horn honked. Roger had drove up with Jessica. Scott jolted out the door and saw her get out of the car. He ran and hugged her.
"Are you ok? I'm so sorry Jessica. I'm so sorry." He kept saying to her. She hugged him back.
"It's ok, I'm fine." She said and rubbed his back. He pulled away and looked at her. How could he hurt her like this?
"Jessica, I need you in my office in 10 minutes ok?" Peter asked.
"Ok." Jessica said as everyone crowded around her to make sure she was ok, everyone except Shelby. She walked away.
After a few minutes, Jessica and Scott headed to Peter's office. Shelby saw Evan walking to Peter's office.
"Hey Evan?" Shelby called. He turned and looked at her and grinned.
"Well what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked and walked up to her. He was carrying his bags. She smiled sweetly when he got up to her. Then punched him in the jaw. He fell back and looked at her with anger. He got up and got read to hit her when Scott ran up and got between them.
"Hey you guys, not now all right?" He stood between them and Shelby walked away while Evan picked up his bags and shook his head. He took a double glance at Jessica. He saw her face and what he had did to her. He shook his head in disgust and walked to Peter's office. The tears in her eyes whelped up.
"Jessica what's wrong? Don't worry about him, he's leaving." Scott said.
"Did you see how he looked at me? He did this to me and he can't even look at me. He made me ugly and now he's just walking away like he didn't do it." She said as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Hey no, you are not ugly. Your still one of the most prettiest I've ever seen." He took her hand and she grinned a little. He was upset too. He knew she was right. He did this to her and now he was just going to leave and get away with it. Scott hated that.
Scott sat with Jessica outside of Peter's office. Jessica was a little nervous. She knew she wasn't in trouble with Peter but she knew she would have to sit with Evan in his office and be questioned. She wasn't sure if she could handle that right now. Scott put his arm around her.
"Jessica you can come on in." Jessica stood up and looked at Scott. "Can Scott come in?" Jessica asked.
"If that's what you want?" Peter said. Scott walked into the office with Jessica and stood behind the chair she sat in. He put his hands on her shoulders.
"Jessica, according to Evan, you hit attack him in your dorm and he hit you in defense. Is this true?" Peter asked. Jessica looked at Evan. He glanced at her and then back to Peter. Evan's dad was in there. He was a big man. Jessica was so scared to answer.
"It's ok Jessi, just tell them what you told me." Scott said.
"He hit me first. I hit him in defense." Jessica said.
"That little skank is lying." Evan's father said.
"Mr. Copeland, please let us work this out." Peter said.
"She's lying." Evan said. "Why would I hit her?" Evan said.
"Peter she is obviously lying, I mean look at her. She was with my son and now she's with this... slob." Mr. Copeland said in an outrage.
"Yeah you're right, he hit me in defense. He did this to me and put me in the hospital in defense. How could I hurt him? He is so much stronger and bigger than me." Jessica stood up and yelled to Evan's dad.
"It's ok Jessica calm down." Peter said. Scott put his hands back on her shoulders and she sat back down.
"Mr. Copeland, we have a student that saw him hitting Jessica and her screaming for mercy." Peter said.
"My son has only been here for a month and you're already accusing him of hurting her." Mr. Copeland argued.
"Your son has a history of violence and I remember your wife telling me that he hit a former girlfriend." Peter said.
"So... what does that have to do with anything?" He asked.
"Do the math, he hurt her." Scott yelled.
"Scott this isn't your battle. You're just here for Jessica." Peter said.
"So what now?" Mr. Copeland asked.
"I think it would be best if you remove Evan from the school." Peter said.
"No, if he isn't here the court said he has to go to boot camp for two years. I don't want to take him out." Mr. Copeland said.
"You don't have a choice. I told him the rules and he broke them. I told him no violence and he used it on a young lady and put her in a hospital. I'm kicking your son out of Horizon." Peter said. Evan lowered his head and Mr. Copeland knew there was nothing he could do. Jessica smiled and walked out of the office with Scott. Shelby was waiting out there.
"Are you ok Jessi?" She asked.
"I am now that Evan is leaving." Shelby hugged Jessica and looked at Scott. He took her hand and hugged her. They walked away hand in hand and Jessica walked to Daisy.
"He's leaving Horizon." She said with a grin. "It's because of your help. Because you came in and saw what happened. Thank you so much Dais." Jessica hugged Daisy and walked to her dorm to start a new journal entry.
'Scott's with Shelby and I'm without Evan. This is the perfect ending to a scary story.'
