A/N...Sorry this is SOOOO short!!!!
Chapter 14: Only Two
Scott snuck out of the room once he had awoken, and stood outside Shelby's door. He did not know what to do...Go in and hope she lets him speak, or stay outside until he is certain she wants to see him. He leaned up against the wall next to the door, staring at the ceiling, wondering.
He placed his hand over the doorknob, and turned it slowly. He peeked inside, and looked towards Shelby, lying on the bed, face to the window. She heard the door screech and turned back toward the sound. Shelby stared at him speechless, as he did the same. Scott slowly walked in, though stayed close to the door.
"Hi Shel," he said softly.
Shelby stared at him, tears in her eyes. What was she to do? Her one true love; the one that had hurt her so many times, the one that made her end up here; was here again. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I was scared for you, Shelby. Everyone was, and still is."
As Shelby looked at Scott, he saw all the hurt in her eyes. How was he ever going to make this up to her? Because of his own stupidity and inability to listen to his own feelings, the only one he had ever truly loved was hurting. He walked toward Shelby's bedside and reached for her hand.
"I love you, Shelby...I always have, always will."
Shelby looked at his face and noticed the sincerity in his voice. No, she could not listen to him. He hurt her...He always hurt her. she loved him, and she would always love him...She knew that. Shelby looked toward the warm hand that held hers. The hand that always lifted her hopes and dropped them without cause.
He kneeled next to the bed and softly kissed her forehead. Shelby looked down for a moment, and then lifted her gaze to his, and the kissed lightly in the glow of the morning sun, streaming through the open window. Nobody was between them now...Not Daisy, not his mother. There were two people now.
Scott slowly raised, looking in her eyes as he left through the door, back to the world that had caused him so much grief and anger in his young years. Back to the mother he though he knew.
