Stay Close

Scott stood and stared at Shelby waiting for his mouth to say something but the words were bouncing in his mouth but they wouldn't come out of it.Shelby tryed to speak but all that came out was thanks.She walked away in a hurry remembering what happened the day he said that to her.She saw his step-mom do the same to him that her step-dad did to her.

Scott:Wait Shelby!Wait up!

Shelby,turning around:What?

Scott:Meet me tonight in the boys dorm after 1:00 am.

Shelby:See you there.

When she turned her back to him she smiled so big that you could fit a banana in her mouth.She bumped into Daisy not seeing her.She grabbed Daisy's arm and led her over to the couch.

Shelby:Omg I have to tell you this and you need to tell me what to do.Ok Scott asked me to meet him in the boys dorm tonight after 1:00am.What should I do?

Daisy:Well this is your decision but I think you should go.I mean what if he never asks you again?What are oyu going to do when you get to the boys dorm?

Shelby:Well I think I need to talk to him about something.

Daisy:Well I definetly think whatever you need to talk to him about and it is the trueth to something you should tell him!

Shelby:Thank you!I hope everything goes ok when I see him!

Daisy:Me too.me too Shelby.I will talk to you later.K?

Shelby:Ok.

Daisy walked off leaving Shelby sitting on the couch looking at Scott.She kept running the memory of him and his step-mom in his kitchen over and over again in her mind.She couldn't keep the thought out.She thought about how when she kissed his lips once they tasted liked strawberrys for some reason.But the kiss was long but she remembered that that was then and this was now.He probably didn't have feelings for her anymore besides physical feelings and that is what got to her. I mean where was this relationship going to go if it was pure physical.Shelby thought back to when she was a little girl and her and Eliza were talking about there first date and how it was going to be.Eliza's was going to be at a dance or her prom she told herself and Shelby that she was going to wear a beautiful yellow dress that would look beautiful with her tan skin in the summer and her hair would be in curls and she would have blonde highlights in it.Shelby said hers would always be under the stars with a full moon out at a deserted beach in the night when the wind was softly blowing and she would have short shorts on and a tank top with a bathing suit underneith so she could go swimming in the middle of the date and then they would have picnic on a blanket and after it was done they would kiss for a long time under the full moon and bright stars.Eliza had aggreed with her and had said that would be a perfect date for her.Shelby had her dreams come true when she met Sean.They did exactly as her dream date had.And they had dated for a long time till his mom moved and they broke up and he left then came back a year later totally changed.But if he hadn't of changed she probably wouldn't have gone on the streets.She would be with him.And she probably would of told him about Walt and then he would have to tell someone and then they wouldn't have moved to LA and she wouldn't have met Scott or anything and she wouldn't even be at Horizon.But she thought of something else that made tears come out of her eyes.And Eliza wouldn't have died.She would probably be with Shelby.And she would be laughing and talking and playing and doing all these other things with and she wouldn't be gone .Sophie came up to her with a blanket.

Sophie:Hey are you ok?

Shelby:Yeah fine.

Sophie:Here is a blanket incase you get cold.

She said thanks and wiped the tears from her eyes.Scott was looking at her and she turned her head and decided to move so she would be alone.She went over and sat by the door and layed down on the sleeping bag and covered herself up with her blanket.She closed her eyes but something wasn't right.She looked down at her clothes and saw she needed to put her night clothes on to be comfortable.So she sneaked into the girl room and got her blue taktop and blue pj pants and went pack to the main room.Peter noticed her and went over to her.

Peter:I thought I said not to leave this room?

Shelby:Well if you said it you should know!

Peter:Don't disobay my rules.

Shelby:Whatever!

Peter:Just go to sleep!

Shelby:Sure thing boss!

She got in her sleeping bag and noticed Scott was gone.The lights and all the power turned off suddenly because a big bolt o lightning just hit.Shelby jumped in her sleeping bag.She got up and slipped out the door and ran through the rain to the boys dorm.When she got in she saw Scott trying to change shirts( tank thingie in Seductions).He looked up and jumped back not thinking he would see Shelby.She smiled.

Shelby:I didn't mean to come in at a bad time.

Scott:It's not like I was nude or something like that!

Shelby:So I came early.What did you want to see me about?

Scott:Well I don't know but I ........

Shelby:Listen I need to tell you something.Are you going to tell about your step mom?

Scott:What?Of course not.She would find away to screw with what I said and change it into me raping her!I can't tell anybody and neither can you!

Shelby:I want trust me!No one in the world wants that kind of secret to get out!

Scott:Does that mean you have a secret like mine?

Shelby:I already told you I don't!

Scott:Then how do you know no one with this kind of secret wants it to get out?

Shelby:I just do!That is all!I swear.

Scott:Promise?

Shelby:Promise!

Scott leaned in closer and kissed her and she kissed him back with more passion.It made him forget about everything that had just happened.He pulled back and looked into her eyes and knew everything she said would be true.)Or was it?
