Author's Note: Hey guys thanks for all the great reviews and all the great suggestions. Its great to know what y'all want to here about in my story so feel free to e-mail me.
~~~~~~~~~~ Breakfast ~~~~~~~~
Shelby I have to talk to you." Scott said urgently.
"Shoot" She said in her normal tone trying to pretend that nothing had happened the night before.
"It's about last night. I'm sorry I ran away. I just couldn't deal with the fact that you wanted me to leave also. My dad called yesterday asking me to come home and the only reason I'm staying is because of you so I was surprised when you said you wanted me to leave." Scott then let out a breath. He hadn't breathed through the whole sentence.
"I don't want you to leave. I want what's best for you and if that means leaving than that's what I want you to do, leave."
"I want what's best for you too."
"Good, then lets eat because at this moment that's what I need," She said trying to lighten the mood.
~~~~~~~ Girl's Dorm ~~~~~~~~~
"Ok girls lights out." Sophie said authoritatively.
"Can I talk to you guys about something?" Shelby asked nervously.
"Sure" they all said together.
"What should I do?"
"What do you mean?" Jill asked curiously.
"Since the talk with Scott their has been a lot of tension between us. He won't listen to me. He won't go and I know that's what's best for him. I don't want him to regret his decisions later on in life and I know the only way for that not to happen is for him to play college ball and later pro ball."
"How long ago was this talk," Juliet asked a bit hurt. Since Kat had left she had felt a bit left out because Jill, Shelby, and daisy were so close. She didn't know about the talk, but she knew that all the other girls did.
"Three days ago." Shelby said. She could have kicked herself for forgetting that she hadn't told Juliet about the situation.
"Sorry I didn't tell you but when I told dais and Jill, you were with Auggie."
"It's ok. Don't worry about it. Just continue what you were saying." Juliet said back to her happy self.
"There's only one thing you can do." Daisy said know Shelby understood what she meant.
'But how can I do that to him?"
"If its true love that you have, he'll understand and it won't effect your relationship too much." Daisy continued.
"I'll help you through it." Jill said. She had never really had to many friends and was trying to be the best one she could be to her new ones.
"We'll all help you through it." Juliet said
"Thanks guys."
"No problem." Juliet said, "But now I need to get my beauty rest."
~~~~~~~ Peter's Office ~~~~~~~~
"Peter can I talk to you?" Shelby asked the next day.
"Sure go ahead. What is it." He said worriedly.
"Last night I was up pretty much the whole night because I was having nightmares about Walt." She lied convincingly, "Can I stay in the dorm instead of going to classes there are a lot of things I need to talk about and maybe I can catch up with some sleep."
"Yeah Shelby, Sure. I'm glad you are dealing with this so well. If you need to talk I'm here."
"Thanks peter." She said, glad she pulled it off.
She didn't want to see anyone all day. Anyone meaning, Scott. She had a lot of things to get ready for that night and couldn't have anyone interrupting her. But before she would go to her dorm she had to see Scott.
~~~~~~~~~~ Outside ~~~~~~~~~
Shelby walked up to Scott and gave him a long, passionate kiss; One that would have to last her for a long time.
"What was that for?" Scott asked smiling.
"I won't be seeing you today. But will you meet me tonight after lights out?"
"Of course beautiful."
"Good. See you tonight."
Author's Note: I know this is a confusing chapter but the next one clears it all up.
