A/N: To '.' I have NEVER read those two stories, 'Conner' and 'Never Let Go'. I may have read up
to the part where it says Scott is the father of Conner but that's it. I totally didn't get the idea and
haven't read 'Never Let Go'. Another thing, Scott isn't the father. Sara couldn't go to Horizon while
Scott is there if he was. That's all.
brbr
Shelby looked around boredly. Peter and Elaine walked up to her table. "Something wrong Shelby?
You're not writing." Peter said tapping the book. Shelby looked up. uWhy would there be?/u
Shelby wrote on the notebook. "Shelby, you can talk." Peter said getting agitated by Shelby's writing
to him. "Annoyed?" Shelby smirked then nodded at Elaine. "Who's she?" Shelby asked. "This is, um,
Scott's step-mom..." Peter said getting cut off. "Elaine?!" Shelby said stunned. Peter nodded, not
sure if he should have told her. "I'll be right back." Shelby said getting up and walking towards the
shed. "Is that who Scott was caught with?" asked Elaine. "Yes." Peter said and they walked to the
shed.
brbr
Shelby walked up to Scott, who immediately stopped chopping. "What's wrong?" Scott asked seeing
Shelby's sad expression. Shelby pointed at Peter and Elaine walking towards them. "No, that stupid
skank!" Scott said hushed. Shelby walked up to him embracing him concernedly. Peter cleared his
throat and they parted. Shelby placed her hands on her hips and stared at Peter and Elaine. "Shelby,
will you um, excuse us." Peter said looking down. "Why? Why doesn't she leave? Scott doesn't want to
see her! You know it too!" Shelby spat. "Shel, come on." Peter said knowing Shelby was right but
couldn't do anything about it. "I'm not leaving Scott with iher/i!" Shelby said and grabbed
Scott's hand, lacing their fingers. Peter sighed. "She's not going!" Scott spoke up. "She's staying
with me. I don't care about the stupid shuns!" Scott said glaring at Elaine. "Scotty, I'm visiting you,
not you and iher/i." Elaine said, spitting out the "her". "So, not like I asked you to visit me!"
Scott snapped. "You're faher told me too. He's not here because he's on a business trip." Elaine said
looking at Peter for help. "Shelby, please." Peter said knowing Shelby would be better staying.
"Whatever!" Shelby snapped and walked away, purposefully bumping Elaine. "What's wrong with her?"
Elaine asked. "Nothing you need to know." Peter said, "Well, I have a new student to admit. Sorry
Scott." Peter said walking off. "So how have you been Scotty?" Elaine asked touching Scott's arm.
Scott quickly snapped it away. "Get the hell away from me!" Scott growled at Elaine and stomped off.
Elaine looked around then decided to try Scott later.
Brbr
Scott walked to the docks, hoping Shelby was there. She was. He walked up to her. "Shel?" Scott
asked sitting down, leaning against a post. "Did the bitch leave?" Shelby asked not looking away from
the water. "I hope so." Scott sighed then felt awkward. Shelby smiled at Scott. "What?" a smiling
Scott asked. Shelby situated herself so she had her back on his chest. Scott wrapped his arms around
her. "Feeling better?" Shelby asked feeling warmer. "Much, thanks Shel." Scott said kissing her head.
"What are you going to do about the Elaine problem?" Shelby asked looking up at Scott. "Elaine?" Sara
asked walking up. "Go away Sara, this doesn't concern you." Shelby rolled her eyes. "Maybe it does
Shel. After all Sara does have a mom, or used to have a mom, named Elaine." Scott said and Sara
looked at him shocked. "How did you know?" Sara asked. "Ezra." Scott said plainly. "Oh, do you know
my mom?" Sara asked. "I don't know, I have a step-mom named Elaine." Scott replied.
"Where is she?" Sara asked her eyes lighting up. "I don't care!" Scott shouted at Sara. "If you two
are related, we'll bnever/b be friends!" Scott glared at Sara. "Fine! Lunch!" Sara stomped off.
"Scott, woah. Calm." Shelby said running her hand down his cheek. "I hate her." Scott said glaring at
the boards. "I know. We have to go serve Cowboy. Don't want Peter getting upset with us." Shelby
said pulling up Scott, more him getting himself up. They walked to the mess hall.
brbr
Scott and Shelby had finished serving the last person. "Finally we're done." Shelby said walking to the
apron holder. Scott followed and placed his apron on the rack. Shelby turned and grabbed him. "Hey."
Shelby smiled and Scott smiled back. "Hey." Scott said putting his arms around her waist, he leaned in.
They were inches from each other's lip. "Scotty!" Elaine chimed holding a tray. Scott groaned and
went past Shelby's lips and laid his forehead on the wall. Shelby slipped out from between him and the
wall. "I'll take care of her." Shelby said patting Scott on the back. Scott turned, leaning his back on
the wall, and slid down.
brbr
"What do you want?" Shelby threw Elaine a fake smile. "I want to talk to Scotty." Elaine said giving
Shelby a small glare. "He doesn't want to see,talk, or hear from you." Shelby spat. "Anything else?"
Shelby asked and Elaine rolled her eyes and walked away. Scott walked over. "Well?" he asked. "Guys,
group in twenty." Peter said tapping the serving table. Shelby rolled her eyes. "Well, might as well eat."
Shelby said grabbing a plate. Scott sighed and did the same.
brbr
Group started and Elaine decided to join. "You sure he didn't tell you to go or anything?" Peter asked
Elaine as the Cliffhangers associated themselves in their spots in the lodge. "Yes, I'm positive he
didn't want me to leave." Elaine lied. Peter nodded, "Fine, you can participate if you want or just
listen." Peter said and walked to the front of the couch. Elaine sat in a chair by the couch. "Ok guys,
how about we talk about our families." Peter said and everyone groaned. "This should be good." Shelby
said sarcastically. "Shelby since you're so eager to talk, you start." Peter said and Shelby sighed.
"Fine. My family consists of my sister Jess, located next to Juliette, and my mom and dad and my
step-dad Walt." Shelby said saying the name 'Walt' in obvious disgust. "Alright, Sara how about you."
Peter said deciding to choose who to talk. "I have foster (A/N: Is it Foster or Adopted????) parents.
My real mom left me cause she couldn't take care of a daughter at twelve years old." Sara said
unenthusiastically. Elaine stared at Sara with wide eyes. Sara noticed this. "Do you have a staring
problem or something?" Sara spat rudely. Elaine shook her head and looked away. "Something wrong
Mrs. Barringer? Something you want to say. You shouldn't bottle things up, it'll eat you up bit by bit
inside." Shelby said enjoying Elaine's nervousness. "Y...No." Elaine said and looked away. Peter looked
at Sara then at Elaine. They had the same eyes and hair color. "Do you know Sara?" Peter asked
Elaine carefully looking over the two again. "No, I've never seen her in my whole life." Elaine said
slowly realizing the similarties too. Peter squinted at the two. "You seem to look-a-like." Peter stated
and Juliette looked. "Yes they do." she said about to say something but decided she better not. Shelby
stood up and looked at the two. "Yeah, they do look-a-like. Hey, it's skank and daughter of the skank."
Shelby cracked and smirked. Sara glared at Shelby. "I'm not a skank. You are!" she said pissed off.
Shelby glared at her. "Like mother like daughter." Shelby said and walked back to her spot next to Scott
on the couch. Sara had been standing and when Shelby walked pasted pushed her. Shelby instinctively
pushed Sara back. They started fighting. Peter grabbed Shelby. "Sara back off!" he shouted and Sara
stepped down. Shelby still fought with Peter. "Shelby come on, cool it! Calm down!" Peter said as Shelby
struggled out of his grasp. "Let go of me!" Shelby screamed and pushed Peter away. She quickly left the
room. Elaine rolled her eyes as Scott got up to go after her. He stopped at the door and glared at Sara,
then left. Peter exhaled heavily and looked at the wide-eyed group. "Guys, groups over, Elaine, Sara,
I think we should have a talk, how about tomorrow?" Peter asked everyone slowly trudged out. "That's
fine with me." Elaine said and Sara nodded. Peter decided not to find Shelby, he thought she should
cool down first.
brbr
Shelby had walked to the docks and kicked a rock off the dock, making it splash loudly into the water.
Scott walked up and kept his distance. "You OK Shel?" Scott asked unsurely. "Yes Scott. I want to be
alone though." Shelby said not looking at Scott. Scott looked at the ground. "If that's what you want."
Scott said and slowly walked away. Shelby sighed and sat down. Though she wanted to be alone, she also
wanted to have some company. She shivered and heard someone walk up. Shelby stood up and turned
around quickly. "Who's there?" Shelby asked quickly, her heart racing. "Just me." Jess said softly hoping
Shelby would just talk to her. "What do you want?" Shelby snapped and Jess sighed. "I want to talk. Every
since I got here I've been ignored." Jess said about to continue. "Jess, I'm sorry. It's just...Scott."
Shelby said sadly. "What about him?" Jess asked, "Why are you two always joined at the hip?" Jess
said a bit too rudely. "We aren't joined at the hip. Jess, we love each other." Shelby said getting a little
mad at Jess. "I'm only visiting for a few more weeks Shel, I don't want to have this grudge between us."
Jess said looking down. "Well, you shouldn't have told." Shelby said and Jess nodded. "I know, I was
just so ..." Jess trailed. "Mad?" Shelby put in. "No, ignored." Jess said and Shelby hugged her. "I'm
sorry Jess." Shelby said and parted. "Shelby? Jess?" Sophie called walking up. "Yes?" Shelby asked.
"Lights out." Sophie said and nodded her head back to the dorms. "What no one-minute therapy?" Shelby
smirked. Jess gave a look at Shelby. She had just changed in a split-second. "Let's go." Sophie said not
really up for Shelby's sarcasm. i"Talk about your split personalities."/i Jess thought and walked to
the dorm with Sophie, Shelby dragged her feet. She hoped she could catch Scott. They reached the
steps and Shelby looked at the lighted guy's dorm. Sophie had left so Shelby walked quietly over. She
tapped Scott's window and waited. "Shelby what are you doing?" Jess asked half-way up the steps.
"Nothing." Shelby replied still waiting. She tapped again. The curtains moved and Daivd's face appeared.
"David, get Scott." Shelby whispered. David shook his head and Shelby hit the window a bit too loudly.
David shook his head and smiled, leaving. "Damn." Shelby said and walked into the dorm. She flicked off
the lights and crawled into bed.
