A/N...Short, again, I know!! But I am writing the next chapter RIGHT NOW!!!!
Chapter 22: Finding Approval
Scott was awoken as his mother touched his face. Startled, he jumped up slightly and set a baffled look on his face. He did not know what she was doing there, as he had never told her anything of Shelby.
"Oh, I am sorry to wake you," she told her son.
"Mom? What are...what are you doing here?" Scott questioned in a bewildered fashion.
She did not know what to say, but began slowly. "Daisy called me, if you were wondering how I knew. But I guess it is best if I tell you this in person. I...I want you to be with her. I want you to be with Shelby." Scott sat in the chair completely taken aback. "I realized, that you two are right for each other. I just...I didn't want to you be with someone else that had been through what you had. I though, that when you were at Horizon, that it was cute, because you were so young. But then your graduated, and things started getting more serious, and I didn't want to see you hurt. Now I see, that I was right, but it wasn't because of Shelby...It was because of me. I'm sorry."
Scott stood up and faced his mother. He saw the bags under his eyes, from staying up so late over the past few days while he waited by Shelby's side. "Thank you...Thank you," he said, pulling her into a hug.
"I...had better get going. I will talk to you soon," she told him as she walked down the corridor before turning the corner out of sight.
Scott reached for the ring in his pocket, that he had kept with him ever since Shelby threw it back at him. Now, he knew he had to do something with it, as his hopes of love were lifted once again. He was beyond ecstatic that his mother approved of his life with Shelby now, but he remained angry with himself that he had ever listened to her in the first place. If he had not, none of them would be there.
Carefully, he placed the ring back in his pocket, and slowly, made his way to Shelby's door, where he hoped they would be reunited.
