Scott stared at the ceiling, the slow whir of the fan dulling his frenzied brain as the morning sunlight crept over the horizon. Nothing was working. He'd gone through the starting lineup of the Carolina Panthers. He'd made a list of everyplace he wanted to visit before he turned 25. He'd even calculated how many pizzas he's eaten in the past year.
But all he could think about was one thing.
Shelby.
He kicked at his bedsheets, making them even more knotty, if that was possible.
Tara was right. Andy was right. Heck, everyone and their mother was right. He was completely, one hundred percent, head over heals in love with Shelby.
That was what his life had felt so empty since they'd kissed and she'd left him sitting in the car. Alone.
Scott hugged his pillow, trying to imagine how he could bring up the subject. After all, he couldn't exactly knock on her door and say, Hey Shelby I've been doing some thinking and I think we should hook up. How about it?
No, they were bestfriends. The situation required deft handling.
It had taken him 11 years to figure out that Shelby was the girl for him. he wasn't about to screw it up now.

Summer Love Chapter 11
Scott walked over to the Merricks' house to go see if Shelby would talk to him. The screen door was unlocked so he walked in. Nobody was in the living room so he called out, "Mrs. Merrick? Shelby?"
The from the upstair he could he a muffled cry "Leave me alone please!"
Scott ran upstairs to see Walt on top of Shelby trying to get her to shutup.
"GET THE HELL OF HER NOW BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE!" Scott screamed. He ran over to where they were and pulled Walt off of Shelby, he then dragged him out of the room and locked the door.
He turned around quickly, "Shelby are you okay?" Shelby had no shirt on and was skaking and crying. Scott went over to her and just held her. He looked her straight in the eyes and said, " Shelby Merrick I will always be here to protect you and most of all I wanted to tell you that I Love You."
Shelby's head snapped up and she looked into his eyes, "Wha, What did you say?"
"I said I love you."
Her blue eyes were open so wide and she was speechless, but finally after a few seconds of just staring at him she found the words, "I Love you too!"
They just held eachother and stared into eachothers eyes.
HEy guys hope you enjoyed that!!!
