"No, Scott, you have to
wake up, you have to," Shelby pleaded. "I won't let you go, I can't. You have
so much to live for. Wait-where's Walt?" she asked, looking around. "Well,
look, cowboy. You scared him off," she said, trying to force a laugh."
"Who's there?" a familiar
voice asked."
"Peter?" Shelby yelled.
"You have to help him!"
"What happened?" he asked,
finally emerging from the shadows.
"Walt. He found us, and Sc…
Scott tried to save me. I should've been the one to get shot, not him. Scott, I'm
sorry," she sobbed, trying to hold his hand and help Peter pick him up at the
same time. "Please don't leave me," she whispered into is ear, " I love you."

"I hope they find him,"
Auggie stated.
"Why would they run
anyway?" Juliet asked.
"I overheard Peter talking
to her. He said that her step dad was coming. I guess that she wasn't ready to
face him," Ezra explained.
"So Scott went to protect
her?" Daisy said, finally understanding.
"Hey! Look outside!" Juliet
yelled.
"It's Peter," Daisy said,
confused again.
"What's he carrying?" Ezra
started.
"You mean who. It's Scott,"
Auggie said.
~~~~~~~Outside~~~~~~~
"Peter, you can't let him
die. He's my whole life. If he doesn't make it, I'll…" she said.
"Don't worry, Shelby, he'll
be okay," he started.
"Okay? Haw can you say
that? He was shot in the chest!" she yelled.
"Shelby, he's a fighter,
you know that better than anyone," he stated, trying to calm her down.
"Where's the ambulance!?"
Shelby yelled.
"Look! There it is!" Peter
said.
"Can I go, Peter, I know
I'll be punished for running, but please let me be with him," she begged.
"Okay, you can go," he
said, not wanting to keep them apart now.
"Thanks," she said, hugging
him.
~~~~~~~Ambulance~~~~~~~
"Scott, I'm sorry for pulling
you into my mess. I should be the one with the bullet in me, nor you. Please,
pull through this, " she pleaded, gripping his hand.

"Okay, Cliffhangers, in the
van," Peter ordered.
"Well, that's meat for
ya'," Auggie started.
"What?" Juliet asked,
confused.
"You all know that he was
head over heels for that girl. He would do anything for her, even take a bullet
with her name on it.
Ok guys. I REALLY meant to post
two chapters at the same time, but as you can see, it didn't work that way. So,
what do you think? Please review and tell me. I haven't been getting a lot
lately. So, even if you hate it (I hope you don't, but if you do) review
anyway. OH, you know how I ended the last chapter? I didn't mean that Scott was
dead (yet?) he was only unconscious (I can't spell that). And yeah! I heard about
Life As A House! I can't wait for it to came out!
