Never Let Go

When she left Scott, Shelby went to
the girls' dorm and grabbed her bag.
"I'm sorry, Scott, I
don't want to hurt you, but I can't stay here, Please don't hate me," she
thought to herself.
She
went outside and was about to leave when somebody jerked her around.
"Scott! What are you doing out
here?"
"Come
on, Shel, I know you, did you really think I didn't know you were gonna run?"
"You can't stop me, Scott."
"I'm not going to-I'm coming with
you."
"No, Scott. I can't ask you to do
that."
"Who's
asking? Listen, I knew you would run, so after you left the docks, I went and
packed my bag."
"No,
Scott. You know what Peter said last tine you ran. He said that if you did it
again he would send you to juvy."
"I
don't care about that. I care about you. I have to protect you."
"I
love you so much, Scott. You are the sweetest guy I have ever known."
"I
know," he chuckled. "Listen, if we're gonna do this, we'd better go now."
"I
know, but it's hard saying goodbye to this place. It's my home."
"Don't
worry, Shel, everything's gonna work out, trust me."
'I
do."
She
took his hand, and they walked into the woods. They had been walking for about
2 hours, when Shelby said she was too tired to go on.
"Why can't we stay here tonight, Scott?"
"Because it's not far enough." Peter would
find us too easy.
"Oh."
They walked for another hour ½ when
Scott spotted a cave.
"Hey, Shel, look, a
cave. We can stay here tonight."
"Finally"
They got into the cave and Scott
started taking a blanket out of his bag.
"Shel?"
'Yeah"
"Catch"
"Thanks, It's so cold
tonight."
"Agreed," he said, and
crawled under the blanket with Shelby.
"You know, Shelby, for a
street girl, you're pretty dumb."
"What's that supposed to
mean?"
"You ran, and didn't
even pack a blanket."
"Shut up," she
snickered, and snuggled closer to him.
It
was then that she realized how lucky she was to have him. He was the nicest
person she had ever known, and no one would take that away from her.
Or did she speak too soon?
Ha Ha! A little
Cliffhanger there, huh? (pardon the pun) I know that was kinda stupid and
short, but it sets up things to come. PLEASE review and tell me what you want
to happen. After all, you're the ones reading it, so you should at least get
what you want, right? I will consider every idea, as long as you don't want me
to break up Scott and Shelby, because I don't think I can do that, or can I??? (I
can't tell you now, because that might give away the story)
