Chapter 7: Just One Day

Scott woke that morning with the most awful feeling he had ever had. Nothing had pained him more than the conversation the night before with Shelby, and he knew that she would never forget that. Even the night he had to say good-bye back at Horizon in the first year of their relationship was easier. Then he knew that they still held a chance of surviving...Now he was more doubtful. His last words were still lingering in his mind...Daisy, please don't hate me, he thought again. Shelby told Daisy everything, more than she shared with him, and they were as close as two people could be. He knew that as soon as he left, he would be accused of hurting her again, which in all honesty, he knew he did. Now he just had to face Hurricane Daisy, and didn't know what to expect.

After he go dressed, he headed off to work. Bounding into his Pontiac Aztek, he stopped off at Krispy Kremes to grab a cup of coffee and a glazed donut, before continuing the drive. For the past two years, Scott had been working at a radio station called KISS 106.1 where he was a popular DJ and sportscaster. He loved working there, getting to interact with fans, play all of their favorite songs, and the other DJ's were laugh-out-loud hilarious. Once he got there, he sat in his chair and got ready for a long afternoon of thinking about his one true love.

"Hello, Seattle! You are listening to Scott and Kassidy on the daily afternoon show. We are going to get you started with "Drops of Jupiter" by Train!!" shouted Kassidy as the show began. Usually it was Scott that began, but she noticed how unlike himself he was acting today. "Hey, Scott. What's up? You seem kind of down."

"Ah, no, it's nothing. I just didn't sleep much last night. I'm okay, really," he answered.

The show was going well, and Scott did manage to perk himself up, despite the emotion in his heart. He only hoped that Shelby would not tune in and hear how happy he sounded, because it was only a sound...
