Coming Back Together

Scott looked over at Shelby.She was so beautiful when she was asleep.They had kissed for a long time that it made her fall asleep.Shelby had ate some carrots and went and got water and boiled it then she drank all of it when it was hot because it was so cold outside.Scott layed back on his back and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

At 6:12 in the morning the sound of chirping birds woke Jules up.She climbed out of her tent and looked in Auggie's.He looked up from his drawing book and smiled a crooked smile.

Auggie:You are up early.

Jules:Well so are you!

Auggie:I thought you had to have beauty sleep?

Jules:Nope!We have to be back at Horizon at lunch so we better get going!

Auggie:Hold on for a few minutes.

Jules walked out of the tent and sat by the ashes that were their fire last night.She got up when she heard voices coming their way.She saw Daisy and Kat coming their way.Jules ran up to them.

Jules:Hey!Are you heading back to Horizon?

Daisy:No we are going to the mall to get a perm.Where in hell would we be going?

Jules:Sorry.Is it all right if me and Auggie walk back with you?

Kat:Yeah that would be ok.Don't you think Dais?

Daisy:Sure!I am so going for that idea!Yeah right!

Jules:Auggie:Come on!Hurry up!

Auggie came running toward Jules and Kat and Daisy.

Meanwhile back at Scott and Shelby's camp.Shelby had been up since five in the morning and she couldn't go back to sleep.Scott was outside of the tent getting ready to make the long hike back to Horizon.He put his pack on his back and went back to the tent.Shelby was already the only thing they had to do now was take done the tent and leave it there.Peter had instructed them to leave their tents laying on the ground to be checked by Peter only minutes after they left camp.When Scott and Shelby were walking down the path they had two choices right or left.

Scott:Ok we can take the right one which is a short cut or the left one that is more than two miles long and goes all through the woods?

Shelby:Short cut.Does Peter know there is a short cut?

Scott:We really aren't supposed to take the short cut but what the heck we can do anything as long as he isn't watching!

Shelby smiled.He was still fun and loving like he had been before she ranaway.He looked at her beautiful smile and knew that he loved her since the day she ranaway from him after her kiss she had given him.He took her hand and she gripped it.She leanned her head on his should as they walked down the path to Horizon.

Not far behind Auggie,Jules,Kat,and Daisy were taking the same path as Scott and Shelby.Jules was hyper and Kat and Auggie were trying to make her be still.Daisy watched them for a while and then she walked faster and then started running a little to be infront of them.She saw Scott and Shelby holding hands and walking too close.Daisy skidded to a stop.Then Auggie and Jules and Kat ran up to see what it was.They stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Scott and Shelby.Jules shook her head and rant to Scott.She grabbed Shelby arm and pulled her back.

Jules:Do you think you can steal my boyfriend away from me just like that?

Shelby:He isn't your boyfriend anymore!Get over it.

Jules reached for Shelby's hair and pulled it.Shelby punched Jules's gace and Jules fell back on the ground.Blood was running from her nose.Scott pulled Shelby back from Jules.Kat and Auggie ran up to Jules.Daisy stood where she was and smiled.

Scott:Shelby you didn't have to do that!

Shelby:She pulled my hair and I don't feel like being hurt today.

Scott:Come on just leave her here.She won't tell I promise.Coem on you go ahead of me and I will catch up.

Auggie:Come on Jules lets go.

Jules:No I want to talk to Scott alone.

Auggie:We won't be to far ahead.

Kat,Daisy and Auggie left walking on the straight path.Jules walked closer to Scott.

Jules:I am going to tell Peter about what she did.

Scott:Don't tell on her please.She could be put in silence!I will do anything!

Jules:Fine!I don't want to be a virgin anymore!

Scott:Excuse me!What do I have to do with that?

Jules:You do want to help her don't you?If you do meet me in the shed tonight after lights out.I will be waiting.

Jules walked away.Scott stood there like a stature.He hadn't done anything like this since he left home.Away from Elaine.He looked up at someone walking back toward him.It was Shelby.He guessed she wasn't very patient.

Shelby:That took a long time.What did you do?

Scott:I had to tell Auggie something.

Shelby:Well is it ok if you walk ahead of me?

Scott:I guess but why?

Shelby:I need time to think.That is all.

Jules saw Scott run up to Auggie without any Shelby.SHe thought to herself that the girl must be a little while behind them.She started walking backwards and then once Everyone was out of sight she ran back to talk to Shelby.

Jules:Hey!

Shelby:What do you want?

Jules:You may not trust me but Scott told me he wanted to show you something after lights out tonight.

Shelby:Ok tell him I will be there.

Jules walked ahead of Shelby.She smiled to herself.Maybe tonight will teach her to stay away from Scott.

When everyone got back to Horizon Peter was waiting for them.Peter saw Jules face and asked what happened.She looked over at Scott and smiled.He mouthed yes to her and she looked back at Peter and smiled.

Jules:Well it is kinda funny.I was walking done the trail and there was a big rock in my way and I fell over it and hit the rock.Shelby helped and put some alcohol on my nose to help so I am ok.

Peter:You might want to get dressed for bed and get in bed guys.I won't checking beds tonight because I am now watching you go in your dorms and then I will go to bed myself.

The song Don't Think Of Me plays in the background.It is sung by Dido.

So you're with her,

Not with me,

I hope she's sweet,

Everyone waved Peter a goodnight and went to bed.When all the lights were out Jules watched Shelby get up and walk to the shed.Jules pulled on a coat and stepped outside to see Scott coming out of his dorm.Jules smiled to herself.

And so pretty,

I hear she cooks delightfully

A little Angel Beside You

Shelby was hidding behind a shelf full of equip.because she saw a flashlight coming her way.She was confused when Jules walked in the door and then right after her she saw Scott walk in.He took off his shirt and looked at the floor.

So you're with her

and not wiht me

Oh how lucky one can be

I hear your house is smart and clean

Shelby gasped.Scott and Jules were still together!She didn't believe what she was seeing.Scott and Jules were having sex at this very moment!What is happening.Tears rolled down her face and then she saw it, tears in Scott's eyes.

Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen

Oh how lovely it must be

When You See her sweet smile baby,

Don't think of me

When she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me

Jules saw Shelby crying in the corner behind a shelf.Jules smiled with pure pleasure.Shelby grimaced.She hated Jules from this day on!How could she.Jules and Scott probaly planned this so Shelby would get the message that Scott didn't like her.

So you're wiht her

And not wiht me

I know she spreads sweet honey

Infact your best friend

I heard he spent the night with her

Now how do you feel

When you see her sweet smile baby

Don't think of me

When she lays in your warm

Don't think of me

Oh it's to late and to bad

Don't think of me

Shelby couldn't stand watching anymore.With tears on her cheeks she got up as quietly as she could but she accidently stepped on a soda can.She smashed it and it made the loudest noise.Her head jerked to the left where Jules and Scott were and they were looking at her Scott had gotten up and put hi shirt on and Jules covered herself with a blanket thinking Scott couldn't know that she set this up or he would never speak to her again.Shelby ran out the door.

Oh it's to late and to bad

Don't think of me

Does it bother you now all the mess I made

Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear

Does it bother you now all the angry games we played

Does it bother you now when I am not there

It had been two weeks since the accident with Jules and Scott.Shelby hadn't spoken to any of them and when Scott tryed to tell her what happened she didn't want to hear the explanation.Shelby watched time go by and by without talking.Peter and Sophie thought it was a phase that all the students went through when they were here.Scott watched Shelby eat,walk do her homework and everything else she did.He was like a stalker but not as bad.

When you see her sweet smile baby

Don't think of me

When she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me

Oh it's too Late

Oh it's to bad

Don't think of me

Oh it's to late

Oh it's to bad

Don't think of me

Scott sat by Daisy in class Monday and all he did was stare at the back of Shelby's ead.Jules had started going out with Auggie a few days after the Scott and Jules thing that had happened In the shed.Shelby was a clam and wouldn't even answer questions on class.Jules actually was sorry for what she did.She never thought anyone could hurt Shelby.And she didn't think Shelby liked Scott all that much.Jules saw that it tore her apart.Jules was wrong about everything!Daisy leaned forward in her chair to talk to her best friend.Daisy was the only person Shelby would talk to .

Daisy whispered:Hey did you do your homework?

Shelby:No way!It is not like I have to do it I had to do it in detention last week.

Daisy:You are so lucky!How do you get detention.I mean you only talk to me?

Shelby:I tripped Jules in the hallway last week after group.

Daisy:Maybe I should do that more often!

Shelby:So you should!I got a good laugh out of it!

Daisy:So have you even spoken to you know who about what happened that night and why?

Shelby:He tryed to tell me but I wouldn't listen.It wasn't a good excuse whatever it was.

Daisy:Maybe you should talk to him.I mean I have heard his expalnation and Jules said it was Jules.How about today at the docks after lunch you talk to him?

Shelby,thought for a while:I guess.But it was your idea.

Daisy sat back in her chair and looked at Scott.

Daisy:Meet her after lunch at the docks today.

Scott:What?Really?Tell her I will be there.

Daisy leaned back forward in his chair to talk to Shelby.Shelby turned her head.

Daisy:He said ok.

Shelby:Ok.Class is over.

The clock hand was on the 12 when the bell rang.Shelby got up with all her books and went to lunch.Lunch for her went by fast.Pretty soon it was over and classes were over for the day too.She walked done to the docks and sat down on the hard wooden boards.She heard someone behind her and saw Scott sit down beside her.

Scott:What?

Shelby:I want to hear your expalnation now.

Scott:After you left and walked ahead of me on the hike I stayed behind to talk to Jules.I told her I would do anything for you not to be on silence.So she told me that I could well you know do it with her she wouldn't tell.So I said yes like a fool.And this next part she told me.She told you that I said I wanted to meet you in the shed after lights out to show you something.That is what happened and I am so sorry.

Shelby:Well you two did show me something.Something I didn't want to see.

Scott:Do you forgive me?

Shelby:I odn't know if I will ever forgive you but you did that for me not to get in trouble and that was sweet.But what you did to keep me out of trouble is unforgiveable but I would like to keep you as a friend.But I don't understand why you would do that after you were molested by your step mother?

Scott:I don't know why I did it but you aren't in trouble and right now if Jules were to tell I would be seeing you or talking to you.

Shelby:Thanks I guess.

She got up and he got up.They hugged and walked back to their dorms together.Shelby sat down on her bed and saw Jules sitting on her bed.Shelby snickered.Jules saw her and frowned.

Jules:Are you still mad at me?

Shelby:Well duh!I hate you!I will never give you any slack either!And Scott told me you set me up!

Jules:I am so sorry.

Shelby mimicked her:I am so sorry.

Jules started crying and ran out the room.Probaly running to Auggie she thought.Shelby sat on her bed till she saw Daisy come in.Daisy's eyes widened at the sight of her.

Daisy:How did it go?

Shelby:Very good.But I didn't forgive him.I told him we could be friends.

Daisy:I would do the exact same thing.I am very proud of you.

Shelby:Thanks.So what do you want to do the rest of the day?

Daisy:I thought you and Scott could hang out?

Shelby:No way!

Daisy:Come on we could get the cliffhangers together and have a football game?

Shelby:Soccer!

Daisy:Sounds ok to me but I am not playing.

Daisy walked in the loundge and saw all the cliffhangers sitting on the couch.Shelby went over and sat by Scott.He smiled for once that week.

Daisy:Guys I have an idea.

Ezra:Spill it!

Daisy:Lets all go outside and play soccer!

Auggie looked out the window and saw lightning and then rain dropplets:I don't think that is going to happen soon.

He pointed outside and as he pointed the whole sky fell the rain was so hard the power was starting to go out.Sophie walked in the room.She had lots of flashlights and gave one out to every cliffhanger since they were the only group in the lodge.The rest of the groups were in their dorms probaly studying.

Sophie:Well you can play games and we have some in the closet over there if you guys would like to get any down.I think you guys can handle it from here and please no one leave this room.

Shelby:Yes mam!

Auggie:Ooo Shelby talked!

Auggie smiled at her.He was happy she finally said something besides ok and no and idiot or shut-up.She smiled back happy that she was friends with Auggie.They had a good friendship she would always at least talk a little to him mostly she hadn't talked to Sophie,Peter,Jules,or Scott.Auggie thought what Jules did mean but he didn't think it was his area to be mad at her for only Scott and Shelby's.Everyone looked at each other like Sophie was crazy to think they were going to play little board games.Scott looked at Shelby.She smiled at him and he smiled back.Auggie watched hoping only good things would come to those two.

Hey hope you like it!Well please don't hate me for what I did.I had to make something bad happen or else there would hardly be any reason for this story.I own nothing in this story not even the song (no big surprise there)!Well please visit my group.
