~~~~~~~Scott's Room~~~~~~~
"Scott, I love you, too," Shelby wailed, happy that he was
still alive.
"Uh hum, excuse me," a voice called entering the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see…Wait, you're not Dr.
Fitzgerald," Shelby stated.
"No, my name is Dr. Williams and I am the physical
therapist," he said.
"A 'physical therapist'," Scott called.
"Yes. I just need to check Mr. Barringer, to make sure
there are no permanent injuries," the doctor continued.
"What, like paralysis?" Scott asked, upset.
"I hate to be frank, but yes, I am talking about
paralysis," he answered.
"Well, can I stay for the exam?" Shelby asked.
"I don't think that's such a good idea…" the doctor
started.
"Please," Scott begged.
"Well, yes, I guess so," he said, changing his mind.
"Thanks," Shelby said.
"Yeah, well, I'm a sucker for love," he replied, laughing.
~~~~~~~ Horizon: The Next day~~~~~~~
"Come in," Peter said as someone knocked on the door.
"Uh, Peter," Shelby started. "Have you heard anything about Scott?"
"Yeah, I did," he said. "The doctor said that there were no
severe injuries, so he will be able to came back today."
"Really? Thanks Peter!" she screamed, running out of the
office.
"Hey, Shelby! Wait!" he yelled.
"Yeah," she said, walking back.
"Since this will be his first day back, I'll let you two
stay out past lights out." he offered.
"Thanks, Peter!" she said, hugging him. "You're the best."
~~~~~~~The Docks: Later that night~~~~~~~
Shelby was sitting by the water, waiting for Scott. He had
only been back a few hours, and they hadn't had any time alone.
"Shelby," he called, breaking her concentration.
"Oh my God!" she cried, jumping
into his arms. "I've been so worried
about you."
"I know," he smirked.
He held her and they started kissing for the first time in
what seemed like forever, until a voice interrupted them.
"Scotty," the voice called.
"No." Scott whispered to Shelby. "It can't be her, it can't
be."
Ok guys, that's it for this chapter. I got reviews for the last chapter saying
that it sounded a lot like another story, so I thought I would clear that up. I
DID NOT steal anybody's story or ideas, and I am sorry if you think I did. I
PROMISE that I didn't. But, if you think it sounds like yours, then tell me. I
was going to change the entire story, but I really like it the way it is. So
please don't make me. I'm out! Peace!!!
