Change I s Good
Scott looked over at Shelby.He was amazed.She knew about Elaine.Or maybe she thought he liked it?He didn't know.
Scott:I don't like it but I can't tell anyone and please don't tell.
Shelby:Ok.Just be carefull.I guess I will see you tommorow.
Scott:Yeah ok bye.
Scott got out of the car and said goodbye to Shelby.He wasn't going to continue with the bet and she wasn't going to be going with Eric.The first thing Shelby did when she got home was call Eric and told him she didn't want to make Scott jealous.And it wasn't worth it.When she told Laur she liked Scott she was upset at first but then said that if they were going to become good friends she wasn't going to come inbetween Scott and Shelby.Now all Scott had to do was to get Elaine to stop.
School went fast the next day at school.Shelby and Laur and Scott made the soccer team.Friday came too fast for Laur.Laur invited Shelby over to her house.They were both sitting on Laur's bed when she brought a subject up.
Laur:Do you have any secrets?
Shelby:Yeah I do.
Laur:So tell me.I swear I won't tell anyone.
Shelby:Ok.My stepfather Walt well.....Molests me.
Laur didn't look so surprised just scared for Shelby:So umm have you told anyone?
Shelby:Yeah Eliza.My best friend since like ever the first day of school in elementary.
Laur:Have you spoken to her yet?
Shelby:Yeah I called her Wednesday and I wrote her a letter Tuesday and e-mailed her like 30 times already.
Laur:I have a computer with internet accsses you could e-mail her.
Shelby:Thanks.
Dear Eliza,
Hey girl!I miss you.I have new friends Laur who I am with right now,Sarah,and Eric.Scott the boy I told you about in my letter was well his stepmother does the same to him as Walt does to me.I haven't old him about Walt.I am not.He is so perfect that lady Elaine ruined his life.He is still the picture perfect boyfriend.How are things going there?I would love to be there instead of here.I miss you.Please call me soon.
Love your best friend for life Shelby.
She sent the e-mail but it said there was no such address.What was happening she e-mailed Eliza yesterday.It sent fine.She called her house and got no answer.
Laur:We could go over to your home town?
Shelby:You have a car?
Laur:Yeah.If we leave right now we could be there tonight at the latest.
Shelby:Lets go.
They got in the car and drove all the way to Eliza's house.Something was wrong.They got out of the car and walked up to the door and rang the bell.Eliza's father answered it.
Ben sounding to sad to speak:Shelby what are you doing here?
Shelby:I came to see Eliza.And this is my friend Laur.
Eliza's mother came up and hugged Shelby.She was crying hard.
Carol:Oh honey.I am so sorry.
Shelby,seeing the tears in her best friends mom's eyes made her want to cry:What are you sorry for?
Carol:Honey.Eliza she she she is gone.
Mrs.Carol burst into frantic tears.
Shelby:What do you mean gone?
Ben:Honey she got killed earlier today in a car wreck.
Shelby:No no noooooooooo!
The song That Is The Way It Is was playing..
She started crying.She couldn't stop.Eliza gone dead.How?Shelby didn't believe what her ears heard.Laur told her they needed to go.They got in the car and drove all the way back to LA.Shelby never did stop crying.Laur told Shelby she should go home.When Shelby got out of the car crying no one was home.She was crying all the way up th drive way when Scott saw her out the window.He ran over to her.
Scott:Shelby was happened?
Shelby:Eliza is gone!
Scott:Your best friend Eliza?Dead?
Shelby:Yes.
She leaned against Scott.There were tears everywhere.She looked up in Scott's eyes.She kissed his lips softly and he kissed back.She said goodbye and went inside.The first thing she saw when she walked in was Walt's picture hanging on the wall.She went over to it and punched it with her fist.It shattered in a thousand pieces.She just cried.She ran up to her room and got her black Gap backpack out of her room.She got some clothes and put them in it.Then all her pictures of Eliza and Jess went in next.And then the picture of Laur.There was one picture of Scott that Laur took on her dresser.She took it off the stand and put it in the back pack.She got some hair clips and a few bands to go in her hair.She was leaving.She walked out the door and left the house and memories behind.
She was walking on the street when a girl caught her eye.She was wearing a mini skirt and a short shirt.Shelby walked up to her.The girl looked Shelby over.
Patty:What do you want?
Shelby:Who are you?
Patty:My name is Patty.So these are my streets.Find your own spot.
Shelby:What do you mean?
Patty looked this girl over one more time and decided this girl was a runner and needed money and she knew how this girl could get it.
A month later.
Shelby and Patty became good friends and they ran miles away from LA.Patty told Shelby she was a hooker.Shelby decided if there was anyway to make money this was the way.So she did what Patty told her.
Ok how was it?I am going to get to the part where they go to Horizon and everything and when the people find out Shelby is missing.I just want to hurry and get to the part about Horizon.
