Scott reached the two talking and pushed Vaughn.
"What did I tell you?" Scott snapped at Vaughn who gave him this look that said "what the fuck".
"You told me nothing." Vaughn said glaring at Scott, ready to fight if it came to that.
"Are you looking to get hurt?" Scott asked looking eye-to eye (I don't know who's taller lol) with Vaughn.
"Like you could hurt me! Besides Scotty, don't want to make your group unable to go to Rusty's." Vaughn
said giving him a smirk. Scott glared at Vaughn then looked at Shelby who was looking away.
"Just stay away from her." Scott said lowly hoping Shelby wouldn't hear, but she did.
"Are you telling him to stay away from me? What the hell Scott! You have a girlfriend so stay out of
my life! I'm not yours anymore and you can't tell anyone to stay away from me." Shelby yelled at him.
Scott looked down and ran a hand through his hair frustrated.
"You don't understand Shel." Scott sighed sadly.
"What don't I understand, Scott? That you don't want me to go out with anyone yet you can?" Shelby
asked making a very fine point.
"You can -- just not him." Scott said giving a small glare at Vaughn.
"Why? I happen to like Vaughn. At least he's not a jerk like you!" Shelby said and hooked her arm
through Vaughn's. Vaughn was caught off guard but smiled.
"He's going to be gone soon. He doesn't even go to this school." Scott said also making a point. Shelby glared
at Scott.
"News flash Scott, we're not together!" Shelby snapped and Scott looked away then gave a glare at
Vaughn before stomping off mad.
"What is his problem? Every free second of his time he's messing with me." Vaughn said shaking his
head annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I could talk to him, make him get off your back." Shelby said giving Vaughn a look.
"Hey Vaughn, guess what?!" Scotty said running up with Jane.
"Whaaat?" Vaughn asked now annoyed by their intrusion.
"We got another gig!" Jane blurted out the good news.
"Awesome! Pay?" Vaughn asked sinking into his "leader of the band" role.
"Hell ya!" Scott said and they high-fived.
"It's at Rusty's and we have to get their now. We start at seven." Jane informed Vaughn.
"Okay, so it's four-thirty now, we have about two hours to get set up. Yeah, wer have to get going!
Jane call Dennis and tell him about the show, me and Scotty will set up." Vaughn ordered. Shelby
looked at him pretty amazed at how he tranistioned from the smoothest talker to business talker.
"Um, Vaughn?" Shelby spoke up unsurely.
"Yeah?" Vaughn asked a bit distracted.
"See you at seven." she said walking away. Vaughn frowned as she left but quickly ran to the van. He
and Scotty soon sped off.

Shelby walked to the boy's dorm and knocked on the door. After a few minutes of hearing someone
shuffle to the door, Shelby saw David's head poke out.
"What do you want?" he asked groggily.
"Is Scott here?" Shelby asked and David mumbled a low yeah and shut the door. When it reopened there
stood Scott where David had been.
"Follow me." Shelby said walking down the steps. Confused Scott walked behind her curious as to why
she wanted him to follow her.
"Are you taking me to the shed?" Scott asked stopping in front of the where the cutting block was.
"Yes I am. I figure if I hurt you there, less will know and less trouble I'll be in." Shelby snapped glaring
at Scott.
"Why do you want to hurt me?" Scott said confusion written all over his face.
"Because you're interfering with my life! You have to move on with whatever her name is." Shelby said
her hard stare set on her face, unchanging.
"You don't understand." Scott said looking down.
"Tell me then I will!" Shelby said her expression softening without her really knowing.
"I can't move on--I love you Shel. Lindsey said she loved me and guess what? I couldn't say it back.
The thought was there but my lips weren't moving. The thought actually was barely a thought now that
I think about it. But, I'm saying it now Shel. I love you. I can't help but not." Scott said his voice
wavering a bit. Shelby stared at Scott dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry." Shelby mummered. Scott walked up to her and gave her a light kiss on the lips. Shelby
held for a bit then slowly backed up.
"Scott." Shelby said frowning at him before quickly walking away. Scott ran a hand through his hair
frustratedly.

At Rusty's The Problem was about finish setting up. Vaughn did a quick time check.
"Okay, we have ten minutes. Is everything set up right?" Vaughn asked as Scotty placed the last of his
drums in place and Jane plugged in a mic.
"Check." Jane mocked after giving Vaughn a "are you stupid" look. Scotty laughed.
"Yeah man, everything is ready." Scotty said tapping a symbol.
"Great. Let's have a quick dinner...or something." Vaughn said checking the time again.
"I'll order us some fries and beers." Jane said hopping off the small platform that was the stage they
would play on, and over to the bar.
"Cool." Scotty said also hopping off the stage but instead of going to the bar got a table. He sat down.
At that moment, Peter, Sophie, and the Cliffhangers were walking in.
"We on time?" Peter called over to Vaughn. Vaughn turned around to look at Peter.
"Early actually." he resonded. Jane walked over to the table and sat next to Scotty. Vaughn walked over
and grabbed one of the beers Jane had brought over.
"Um, fries?" he asked taking a sip of the beverage.
"The fries will be done soon." Jane repeated what Annie had told her.
"We have six minutes." Vaughn said taking a few more sips.
"Yo man, are you nervous or something?" Scott asked never seeing Vaughn act like this before a show.
He was usually cool and level-headed.
"Or something." Vaughn replied turning away. He looked around the room and his eyes fell on Shelby.
He casually walked over to her.
"Hey." he said giving a not-too-sure smile.
"Hi." Shelby said looking down. They stood there in silence till Jane interrupted.
"Sorry to kill the crickets here but it's seven." she said and patted Vaughn on the shoulder.
"Alright. Well, I gotta go sing now." Vaughn said. Before he left he gave Shelby a quick kiss on the
cheek. Vaughn joined his band on the platform. He jumped up grabbing a mic then spun around with it
in hand to face the crowed.
"Hello everyone, we're The Problem--" Vaughn said then was cut-off by a voice.
"I thought you were going to help me!" a gruff voice shouted from the back of the room.
"That's Sam." Jane said to Vaughn who gave her a confused look.
"Sam?" Vaughn mouthed.
"Ghost." Jane mouthed back.Vaughn nodded.
"Our first song is called, 'I don't know you or your problem but we'll help you after we're done'." Vaughn
said and looked at Jane and Scotty, both started playing.
"What the hell name for a song is that?" Scott whispered when The Problem started playing.
"Scott, just enjoy the music." Shelby said and Scott put his arms on the table and laid his chin on his,
one hand over the other, hands.

The show ended two hours later. The Cliffhangers, plus Peter and Sophie, gave the Problem a standing
ovation. Vaughn, Jane, and Scott bowed and hopped down. Vaughn collasped into a chair. Shelby walked
over.
"Hey Vaughn, good job." she said sitting in a chair at the table.
"Thanks." Vaughn said as the rest of the Cliffhangers joined. Juliette walked over and sat next to Vaughn
since the table had an extra chair.
"That was so cool. You're really good." Juliette said smiling.
"Auggie." Daisy said in a cough. Juliette looked down and slowly walked off to Auggie.
"Notice how Vaughn gets all the attention?" Jane said to Scotty. Scotty nudged Vaughn.
"Oh, hey. Everyone, I couldn't have done any of the songs tonight if I didn't have my great drummer
and bassist." Vaughn said and everyone, including the guys, started chatting. Finally getting away from
the crowd, Vaughn pulled Shelby over to the other side of the room.
"What's this for?" Shelby asked confused.
"It's hot over there." Vaughn sort of lied.
"Yeah, I guess. Well, you look it anyways." Shelby said lighting pulling a strand of Vaughn's hair. She
showed Vaughn the wetness on her hand then wiped it on his shirt.
"Thanks." Vaughn laughed. Shelby smiled then looked around the room and saw Scott. He locked eyes
with her. Shelby broke it by looking down.
"Vaughn there's something I have to tell you." Shelby said not wanting to look him in the eyes.
