Chapter Two
I don't know exactly where Scott lived, so they are going to take a plane trip, kk? Let's just say...(picks random state/city out of brother's hat) Washington? Yeah! Olympia, Washington!
I don't own Bitch Please by Eminem and I don't own Leave it Up To me by Aaron Carter or any other songs mentioned.

It was the day of the trip. Peter had loaded Kristin and Scott's bags into the jeep. Sophie was staying and Peter was driving Kristin, Scott and Shelby to the airport. Shelby insisted on coming. "C'mon, Peter, we're gonna be late!" Scott said, pointing to his watch. Peter rolled his eyes and kissed Sophie on the lips. "Bye, I'll be back in a few hours." He said. "Okay." "Everyone said their goodbyes?" Peter asked. "Shoot! I forgot to say good-bye to the toi-" Kristin started and the people around- Scott, Shelby, Peter, Sophie and Brandon-all giggled. "Uhh...I mean human good-byes." "Ooh...yep, I've taken care of that." Kristin said, nodding. "Good." Peter said after Scott had said yeah to. "Okay, well, get in." "Who gets front?" Kristin asked. "Why don't you get it, Shorty?" Scott said. "I'm not short...I'm vertically challenged, thank-ya." She said and jumped into the front seat. More laughs. "She's becoming more and more like you, Shelby!" Peter said. "Yeah. I love my handy-work!" "I heard that!" Kristin called. "Well, we better get going." Peter said. "Finally!" Scott muttered under his breath to Shelby who smirked. Peter looked back. "Haha." He muttered. "Well, bye." He said and hugged Sophie and Brandon. He got up front and started the car. Kristin had on her head phones and "Leave It Up TO Me" could be heard blasting from the ear phones.
Scott rolled his eyes. "Tell her to turn it down!" He complaiend. Peter grinned. "You two are becoming more like sister and brother than I've ever known.." He said and soon they were on the highway.
He looked in the rearview mirror and saw Shelby and Scott kissing. He nudged Kristin and nodded his head to the back. She turned around. "Aww...hey love birds here's a perfect song for you..." She said and fixed her walkman to "Bitch Please" by Eminem and grew red when Peter started staring at her. "Oops...sorry!" She said and quickly switched CD's. Scott bit back a grin. "Peter, put on the radio!" He said. Peter switched it on and groaned. It was Radio Disney and "Not TOo Young, Not Too Old" by Aaron Carter was on. "Brandon and Soph have been taking my car again." He said shaking his head. "Yeah, sure!" Scott teased.
***At the airport***
"I'm hungry!" Kristin complained. Shelby stuck out her hand. "Hi Hungry, I'm Shelby. Shelby Merrick." "Really?" Kristin asked sarcastically. "Yeah!" "Let's go to the food court." Peter said. They had gone through baggage claim and security and it really hadn't been all that bad. "Yeah!" They all said. Peter ran after the 3 kids who were already heading for the escalater. On the escalator a man said to Peter, "You have a wonderful family, mister, your one lucky guy. My family ran away from me. My wife took them." Peter looked down at the 3 kids he wished were his. KRistin was looking at him with her clear eyes. "Yeah, they are, aren't they?" He asked and Kristin grinned and his heart sank. Scott and Shelby were talking about how they were gonna talk and write everyday.
At the food court Shelby, Scott, and Peter all got something from McDonalds. Kristin got a personal pizza from Dominos.
Finally, the calls were being made for people to board Scott and Kristin's flight. Shelby tightly hugged and kissed Scott. She hugged Kristin. "Now you be a good little girl...Santa's watching!" She said. "Yeah! Sure! I'm always a sweet little angel!" Kristin said and Peter rolled his eyes and said "Yeah, right." Peter hugged Scott then hugged Kristin. "Thanks Peter, for earlier, on the escalater." She said. "No prob, Kristin. Well, get going, don't get all sobby on me!" Kristin grinned at him and he grinned back. "Bye, Peter!" They both called.
"I get window seat!" Kristin called. "No! I do!" He said. "Rock paper scizzors!" Kristin declared. THey did- 3 out of 5- and Scott won. "We'll switch...it's a 2 hour flight." Scott pointed out. "Okay." "Thank you!" A woman growled when they finally sat down. Scott and Kristin both started laughing. Luckily they had the 2 person side of the plane, so they could have a little privacy.
"So, what's Uncle Martin like?" Kristin asked as they took off. "Ah...he's Okay. He's kind of a jerk when it comes to what happened between me and Elaine." "What's she like...besides the fact that she, well, you know..." "Yeah. She, before that, was pretty okay. Always a little flirty, even when my dad was around, but I just took it that she was pretty young. She was really nice." "Oh. Do you hate her?" Scott thought about that one. He hated her for the fact that she did that to him, but...other than that there wasn't anything to hate. "Besides the other fact, I guess not. I mean, whenver someone would ask if just felt RIGHT to say 'yes', you know? Well, before she did that, I loved her, in a motherly way. I could tell her anything. She was home more than my dad. She came to all of my games and she acted like she cared, then she started flirting. Do you hate your dad?" He asked. "Yes. I mean, we've never got any good moments, except when he was high. THen he was...decent. Not always nice, but a little caring. But he never was like Elaine, he abused me from the start. When I was to young to hit he neglected me. Tied me to beds, put things around my mouth so I wouldn't cry or anything. Then I turned 2 and everything changed. He tied me up but he started hitting me." "I can understand why you hate him. I hate him and I haven't talked to him since that last time when you were 5. I never talked to Steven much. He didn't want anything to do with me." "Yeah. I remember that." She said. The rest of the ride was silent. With the occasional snorts and snores of the man in front of them.
