The Case of the Conscious Nightmare : Chapter 5
Shirley tossed and turned left and right, unable to sleep, when she finally did she was haunted yet again by that same dream..
*"Shirley i cant believe i ve put up with you this long! You only used me as part of your protection against your enemies, Molly was right and has been all these years! going to Ukraine will be the smartest thing ive ever done! youve done nothing but bring pain into my life and lives around you!"
"No...Bo stop..please....dont you understand that you ve always been my number one priority, i know i never really showed it but i ve always cared about you in ways you wouldnt understand..."
"Enough! lies lies! thats all that comes out of your mouth! nothing but lies!"
"Bo please...Bo...dont leave yet...BO!"*
Shirley's alarm clock growled the time loud and clear it was 9am! MONDAY MORNING! She was so late for school, she was about to get up when her dad came into her room.
"Shirley? Your finally awake! Good morning"
"Dad? You let me sleep in?"
"Dont you remember you asked to skip school today a few nights ago so you could say bon voyage to Bo?"
"O..ya...I remember"
"Shirley are you alright?"
"Ya...yes im fine"
"Alright then i ll see you later, im late for work, bye Shirley"
"Bye dad..."
Shirley wasnt even going to go say goodbye to Bo anymore, it was going to be too hard, too painful, she couldnt do that, she put enough strain on herself the past few days, in between Alicia and Barts' matchmaking stood, Matt who mysteriously shows up to tell me his dark secret, only he decides not to tell me, then Molly uses him to get to me, and he kisses me to make Bo freak, which he does, but despite it all, something told her to wish Bo a happy trip...well a happy life, their friendship was so damaged that not even a forgive and forget could repare it's wreckage. Things were messed up, and Shirley had little to no control over it.
*********************************************
Alicia was skipping the day of school along with Bart, Stink and a few others, they were going to make a goodbye party at the airport, only problem was that Shirley was not going to be there, no chance..
*Poor Shirley, what i dont understand is why cant she just come to at least say goodbye, if she doesnt i KNOW she ll regret it, she's so frustrating sometimes!*
***********************************************
It was the big day, in a few hours Bo would be bording the plane to Ukrain, he tried to look as happy as he possibly could for his parents' sake, but his feelings couldnt have been more hurt. He tried to pull of a smile but only got a frown.
*Im so stupid, I spent so much time dwelling on what happened before and what's happening now, Im leaving here for good, and i didnt spend a carefree second with the one person i wanted to be with, why couldnt he just put his jealousy and feelings aside and just be happy for shirley, she was happy with Matt, why couldnt things have just worked out...it wasnt going to feel right leaving everyone, and leaving Shirley without a final goodbye it was in no way a happy ending...
Bo looked back to two days before, he hadnt even apologized for his heartless words! He wasted his last weekend in Redington fighting with everyone he cared about most...
************************************************
Bart was all out of matchmaking ideas, he and Alicia had regrouped to think of some last minute plan to get Bo and Shirley to part on good terms at least...but no luck, all they had were two brains that thought of nothing to salvage a perfect friendship that had been demolished...
*************************************************
Heather was at Sussex looking for Shirley, she was going to give her a piece of her mind! And make damn sure that Shirley would get kicked down and never be able to come back up, it seemed that she hadnt come to school. Heather then remembered the few times that Bo had brought Heather to Shirley's and was happy to know that she remembered exactly where Shirley's house was located...unfortunately for Shirley Heather was coming for her full speed ahead....and she wasnt alone, not entirely...
************************************************
Molly lay in her hospital bed debating what she should do....
*Hmm it seems that Heather's poor attempt to kill me wasnt good enough, if i ve learned anything about Heather is that she's just like me vengeful. She's bound to go after Holmes sometime soon, Bo is leaving in about an hour or so. It's doubtful that she ll leave her house before Heather heads for her, what should i do, should i mabye assist Holmes? If I did i d be rid of Heather, but i d still have Holmes ruining my well thought out plans....hmm either way today is going to be the day something unpleasant will happen...*
*************************************************
Shirley paced around her room asking herself and asking Watson for possible reasons and answers..
"Correct me if Im wrong Watson...two days ago in the park, I was to meet Bo, when Heather came to talk with Bo, she had made it look as though Bo had asked her to come with him to Ukraine, according to Alicia she did it to get back at me, then I encountered that shadow in the woods, after I followed it my phone rang, with no answer on the other ligne just someone breathing heavily, then Matt came along, Bo FOR ARGUMENTS SAKE was jealous and lashed out at me, now Matt tells me that he was black mailed by Molly to kiss me to get Bo incredibly jealous and hurt him and torture me in the process. What am i missing Watson?"
Suddenly there was someone at the door, Shirley opened to door to find Heather..
"Hey Shirley, we need to talk..!" Heather pushed Shirley back in the house with full force, after hitting the wall Shirley fell lifeless to the ground"
"Now the fun starts" taunted Heather to the now unconscious detective....
**************************************************
Bo, Bo's parents, Alicia, Stink and a few friends were all at the airport waiting for the plain to arrive..
"Well I leave in less than an hour..."
"Bo, you dont seem to happy.."
"Im fine...really im fine.. *I wish Shirley would come just for a second....I hate the way we left things* Finally Alicia spoke up out of frustration "BO!!"
"Ya?"
"Call Shirley...you know you want her to come!" "Bo looked around and found himself giving into his urges to try to patch things up..he had one hour..ONE hour to fix things before he left... Bo used Alicia's phone to call Shirley's home....the phone rang 5 times until the operator came on the line saying that the line could no longer be reached...
"I get the feeling Shirley doesnt want to be disturbed...."
"Call her cell Bo.."
Bo dialed Shirley's cell phone number, it rang 3 times until the operator came online again and claimed the number was out of service...
"Alicia...thanks for trying but Shirley just doesnt want to be bothered by me...she's just ..."
"Uhm Bo, where s Heather?"
"I dunno, havent seen her..."
"That's weird..."
"What is.."
"Well Shirley isnt here, and conveniently neither is Heather..."
"Alicia that could be a coincidence..."
"I dont believe in those, I get the feeling that something BAD is going to happen....really really BAD...."
"To who?" asked Stink
"To..."
"Shirley..."replied Bo in a worried tone
Suddenly Alicia's phone rang, everyone held their breaths
*************************************
Matt felt horrible he had betrayed Shirley and it was in no way justified, which made him feel even worse, he began knocking on her door, when he realized the door was wide open, he peered through and noticed Heather sitting on a chair staring at...Shirley all tied up...Matt's first instinct was to save Shirley, but when he looked closer he realized that Shirley was being held ..at gun point...
