Never Let Go

"C'mon Shel, we're here," Scott said as they pulled into his driveway and got out of the cab. "I want you to meet my father."
"I'm coming, Scott, I'm coming." She grabbed her bags and walked with Scott and Elaine up to the front porch, where Martin was waiting for them.
"Hello, son. It's good to see you again. I've missed you." Martin said, hugging his son.
"Hi dad."
"Oh, I'm sorry Scott. I didn't know that you were bringing a guest." He continued, looking at Shelby.
"Um…dad. This is my girlfriend Shelby. I asked her to come with me."
"Oh, hi Shelby. It's nice to meet you."
"You too Mr. Barringer," Shelby said, sounding as sweet as she could.
"Um…dad, I think we'll go put up our stuff up now. Right Shelby?" Scott called over his shoulder.
"Oh, yeah. Sure Scott." She said, following him inside and up the stairs.
"Shel, this is the guest bedroom. I know its nothing special, but…" Scott started.
"No, Scott. It's great."
"Well, I'll give you time to put your stuff up, and then we can go out for a while."
"Out? Like where Scott?"
"I don't know. Maybe we could go to the movies. We still have time to get there if we hurry."
"Ok. I'll be through in a minute."
When Scott walked out of the room, Shelby sat on the bed. This was too much for her. She had never been in a house this big before. It was then that she realized that she and Scott were complete opposites.
She stayed in the room just thinking until Scott called her from downstairs.
"Shelby! Are you almost through? If we're going to make it to the movie, we have to leave now!"
"I'm coming Scott! I just have to change!"
She took off the clothes she had been wearing and put on dark L.E.I. jeans and a navy blue Abercrombie and Fitch shirt. She walked downstairs to the whistling of Scott.
"Man, Shel. You look great."
"Yeah, yeah. Are we going to the movies or not?"
"Yeah, sure thing. Let's go." He took her hand and they started to walk out of the door when Elaine walked into the room.
"Well. Where are you two going?" she asked in her normal sarcastic tone.
"If you must know, we're going to the movies. Not like it's any of your business."
"Well, have fun kids." She called to them, trying her best to sound sincere.
"We will." Scott shot back at her in a mocking voice.
They walked out the door, hand-in-hand, and left an angry Elaine behind.
"She may have taken my warning lightly, and if she did, it will be the worst mistake of her life. I won't let anyone get away with stealing my Scottie away from me." She thought to herself. "I will do whatever I have to, as long as I keep those two apart."
I am SO sorry that this is short, but I wanted to separate a lot of the stuff that happens in the story. AND----I know I said all of those things were coming, but I didn't say that they would all come in this chapter. Actually, I'm not sure when all of that stuff will fall into place, but it will sometime soon. Neways, I hope you like it so far, and I will try to post more very soon. Bye!
