with something like that!) *Wipe a tear*. They belong to Fox Family Channel.
~~~~~~~Hospital~~~~~~~
"C'mon, pull yourself together, Scott needs you to
be strong," Shelby thought to herself.
The rest of the Cliffhangers walked in behind Peter,
without Shelby noticing.
"Shelby?"
Peter asked.
"Ah! Oh, Peter, it's you. I didn't hear you guys
come in," she said.
"Shelby, Scott's gonna be okay. He's a fighter. He'll keep
fighting-for you," Peter said, trying to comfort her.
"What? For me?" she asked.
"C'mon Shelby, we all know how much you two love each other, and he
won't leave you without giving it all he's got," he continued.
"Yeah, maybe," she said, not totally convinced.
"Excuse me, are all of you here for Scott Barringer?" a doctor asked,
entering the room.
"Yes!" they all said in unison.
"Hello, I am Dr. Fitzgerald," he said.
"So, how is he?" Shelby asked, impatient.
"Well, we had to do emergency surgery because the bullet didn't exit,
but rather lodged into his chest. We were successful in dislodging the bullet,
but…"
"But what?!" Shelby yelled.
"I'm sorry, but we lost him," he said.
"NO!!" Shelby screamed, falling to the floor. "he can't be dead. It has to be a mistake. PLEASE! Tell me that
it's a mistake!" she pleaded.
"I'm
sorry. It's no mistake," the doctor stated.
"No, he can't leave me, he can't," Shelby said, not believing what she
just heard.
"Would you like to say to goodbye to him?" Dr. Fitzgerald asked her.
"Yes,"
she said, almost whispering.
"Do
you want us to go with you?" Peter offered.
"No,
I need to do this alone," she said.
~~~~~~~Scott's
Room~~~~~~
"You have to do this-for Scott," Shelby whispered to herself, opening
the door.
She
sat by his side and took his hand.
"Scott, please, don't leave me. I love with my whole heart. Besides, you have too much to live for. Your friends love you, I love you. You can't die, not like this. Like I
said, you're my whole life. I don't
know what I'll do without you. Please come back to me," she begged
Beep…Beep…Beep…
"What? Oh my..! SCOTT! You came back to me. I knew you would! I love you so much!" she said, ecstatically.
"Um, Shelby.." Peter started, walking into the room.
"PETER! Look! Scott is alive!" she yelled, jumping into his arms.
"But how?" Peter said, crying with happiness.
"I asked him to came back to me, and he did. He came back!" she yelled.
"I'll go tell the others," peter said, walking out of the room.
~~~~~~~Waiting room~~~~~~~
"Hey guys!" peter said happily, entering the room.
"Why are you so happy? Scott just died. Auggie said, getting upset.
"No, Aug. He's not dead," Peter said.
"What!" the Cliffhangers exclaimed.
"It was Shelby. She gave him the will to live," he continued.
"Can we go see him?" Jules asked excitedly.
"I think we need to give Shelby some time with him," he answered.
"Okay," she said sadly.
~~~~~~~Scott's Room~~~~~~~
"I knew you wouldn't leave me. I just knew. And Scott, I
apologize for everything I have ever done to hurt you. You know, I never thought I could love you
more than I already did, but I was
wrong. And I will never forget what you
did for me out in the woods. I really
hope you can hear me, because I will never get the guts to tell you this
again," she said.
"Sh..Shelby," Scott said, waking up.
"Yes!" she yelled, dropping by his side.
"Shelby?" he said again.
"Yes! I am right here!" she yelled a second time.
"I ..I ..love…..you," he managed to get out.
SO! What do you think? I am SO sorry that I haven't updated in a while.

out of ideas fast!!! I honestly meant for this to be longer. (it felt long when
I typed it!) Well, that's it for now!!!
Buh-bye!!!
