Never Let Go

Scott and
Shelby made it to the movies right before it started. They were standing in line waiting to get their tickets when a
group of people came up to Scott.
"Hey man, long
time no see," one of the guys said.
"Hey Mark.
What's been happening?" Scott said, surprised.
"Not much. I
didn't think I'd ever see you again. It's been what—like a year now?"
"Yeah. It has
been a long time."
"Are you back
for good?"
"Nah- just a
visit. Hey guys, I want you to meet Shelby. She came with me form Horizon."
"Man, Scott.
You've don't good for yourself haven't you?" Mark said, finally seeing the girl
behind Scott.
"Um,
Shelby. This is Mark, Trevor, Kelly,
Luke, and Alexis." Scott said, introducing all of them to her.
"Hi
Shelby. It's nice to meet you." This
was the one Shelby thought was Alexis.
"Scott, we
really did miss you." Kelly said. She came up and touched hiss arm, and Shelby
didn't like this at all. It was the first time that she had ever been jealous,
and she hated it.
"Yeah, I
missed you too Kelly," Scott said, backing away.
"Scott, man,
why don't you blow this movie and come hang with us. You know, like old times."
Luke said.
"I don't
know…."
"Aw, c'mon, Scott.
It'll be a lot of fun." Kelly jumped in. Shelby could already tell that she and
Kelly wouldn't get along.
"Shel- what do
you think? Do you wannna go?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah
sure, I guess."
"It's settled
then." Mark said, leading them all off.
They walked
for about fifteen minutes before mark finally announced they were there.
Wherever "there" was.
"Dude, I
forgot all about this place." Scott said.
"Where are
we?" Shelby asked.
"Its where we
used to hang out-and where we 'relaxed', if you know what I mean. Those were
the good times." Scott explained.
"You, know, we
can get the good times back Scott." Kelly said, coming over by him and pulling
a bag out of her pocket.
"No thanks,
Kelly. I stopped all that." Scott said.
"Come on. You
know you want to." She persisted.
Shelby could
see Scott start to squirm, and knew what was about to happen-if she didn't stop
it.
"Nah Kelly. I
think Peter get that out of him," she said.
"Peter?"
"Oh, that was
like the "principal" of Horizon," she tried to explain.
"Well, Peter's
not around now, is he?" Kelly continued.
Shelby'd had
enough of this, so she pulled Scott into a corner by themselves.
"Scott, you
don't have to do this. Just tell them no."
"I can't Shel,
it's just too hard."
"Yes you can.
You've come too far to go back to them."
"You know,
it's kinda funny. I always thought that drugs would take away all of my
problems, when all it did was create them."
"I know,
Scott. I know how it feels. And it's ok to walk away."
"I used to
think so. But now--- all I wanted back at horizon was just a little bit—a
little. Now it's being thrown at me, and I'm acting like a little kid. It's no
big deal, right? Just a little- my dad doesn't have to know."
"No Scott! It
is a big deal. And I won't let you do this. I won't."
"I don't
know."
"Well I do.
Now go over there and tell them that you have to go home. Ok?"
"You're right.
Ok, come on."
"Guys," he
said walking back over to them, "it's been good seeing you, but we gotta head
back. Maybe I'll see you later?"
"Sure, man,
later." Mark called after them.
"Scott looks
better than ever. I have to get him back. I have to." Kelly said
once they had
left.
'Yeah? And how
are you going to get him away from that other girl. They look pretty tight to
me." Trevor stated.
"I'll take
care of that." Luke said.
"What are you
talking about Luke?"
"That girl is
hot. I'll get her to leave Scott for me—leaving him free for Kelly."
"Yeah right
man. Did you see them when they were talking? It was intense. You don't have a
chance with her." Mark laughed.
"Yeah well,
we'll see about that." Luke said.
Soooo how do
you like it? I really hope that you do. I have one major question- do you guys
want me to break up Scott and Shelby? I could put Scott with Kelly and Shelby
with Luke. I don't really want to, seeing as how Scott and Shelby are the
cutest couple ever---but I'll do what the reader's want. And the only way
you're gonna get what you want is to review or e-mail me. Even though S & S
look good together, I think that a lot more people would read if I shake things
up a little. Either way---it's up to you. SO PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!! I love reading
them. Peace!!!!!!
