Disclamer- I don't own higher ground. It's characters, scott, shelby etc. But I do own Jordan and the rest of the thomas's and
Jordan's friends from his home. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Note: This continues with part 1. It's still Jordan's first day at horizon and he already gets introuble. (hehehe) Plus we learn
some more intresting things about him.
Pt. 2
Jordan and Peter were in front of the Nurse's office. Jordan was suppose to be getting his physical. But he
really didn't want to.
"No. I hate doctors...." he said stubbornly. "They scare me. I'm not going in."
"Jordan, you have to. It's regulation. Mary Anne won't hurt you. She doesn't bite" Peter said trying to get Jordan
to go into the office.
"I don't care. I'm not going to go."
"I'm going to have to go call your parents if you don't." Peter said to him.
That got to Jordan right away and he gave in. "Fine. I'm going." he said and went in.
It wasn't that he was scared of the doctor per say but what the doctor might find. Doctors did 2 things in
his eyes. They found cancer in Good people, and also they caused trouble. (More about this later on)
Jordan went in. Mary Anne was waiting for him. "You must be Jordan." she said.
"Yeah, who'd you expect, a monster." He said snottily, expecting her to get mad but she just laughed.
"Well actually no. Okay. I can tell you don't want to be here so we'll make this quick. I'm just going to
give you a quick check up, blood test, and breathalizer test, which is mandatory by the way. So if you want to
give me your arm, I'll do the blood first." she said nicely to him.
Jordan pulled up his sleeve. There were cuts and a couple of burn marks on it. He forgot they were even
there until she said something.
"How did you get these cuts Jordan." She said pointing to some on his upper arm.
"Bicycle accident" he said. "When I was 12."
"And these down here?" she said as she took some blood.
"Um. That big one is from Cutting. I've cut myself before, what's that called, um.. self-mutalation" he
said laughing. "The burns, they were accidents. If you were wondering." he said to her.
Mary Anne asked no questions about his answers. She went on and gave him the thermometer and took his
temp, looked at his eyes, and throat. Then she checked his reflexes. They were fine.
"Now I want you to lay down on this bed here." she said pointing to the examining table.
As Mary Anne was checking his abdomen, pressing here and there. When she got to just below his right rib
cage Jordan yelled in pain.
"Oww. Hey, watch it lady. Don't touch me again." he said getting up.
"Jordan, sit down. I promise I won't hurt you again." she said, Jordan almost believed her.
"Don't believe her you moron, how many times have you heard that line before? But if you don't
she'll call Peter." he thought to himself and realizing that, he sat back down.
"Okay. Sorry about that. Now can you pull up your shirt so I can see what's the matter." she asked
nicely. In a voice Jordan hadn't heard in a while.
Reluctantly Jordan pulled up his shirt. Revealing a black and blue mark, about the size of a softball, right
under his ribs, the place where he had been kick by Jackson, in the kitchen.
"How'd you get this?" she asked.
"Fell out of bed during the night. Landed full force right on my shoe. It hurt like hell." he said, adding
the last part of believability.
"Jordan, we don't use that language here." She said trying to be as polite as possible, but Jordan was
beginning to get on her nerves.
"Whatever. Can we please just get this over with?" he said sounding equally annoyed.
"We just need to check your breathing and then the breathalizer test."
"Breathalizer test first please." he said knowing he would pass, and he did to.
"Good Job. Now pull up your shirt." She said to him.
"Do I have to?" I don't like doing that. The stethoscope's cold." he said whining.
"Fine." she said giving in. "Take a deep breath. Breath in, and out."
He did what she wanted him to and then went out.
"Peter, can we leave. That lady's a witch." Jordan said as he took his bags.
"Sure Jordan." Peter said, and sighed. He thought he was beginning to realize with Jordan's behavior
why he was sent to Horizon.
===================================================================================
Sophie and the Thomas's....
"Mrs. Thomas, how did your late husband die?" Sophie asked looking at a copy of Jordan's transcripts.
"Matthew had cancer. It was in his kidneys and it happened quite fast. But it hit hard. Jordan blamed himself, I
think he still does." Mrs. Thomas, (a.k.a. Kendra) said sickingly sweetly.
"How old was Jordan when he died?" she asked
"Jordan just turned six about two weeks before Matthew died." she answered.
Sophie wrote that down in the margins of the paper. "When did you two get married. How did Jordan
react?" Sophie said.
"We got married when Jordan was 7." Jackson said. "I don't think he liked it. It was so soon after his
father's death. We started dating about 2 months after."
"Don't you think that's a little to soon? With a loss like that, for a little kid I can understand." Sophie said
feeling kind of mad at Jordan's parents.
"Well I have a life to. I wanted to be happy. Matthew and I weren't really that close anyhow. He mostly
stayed for Jordan." Kendra said in a stuck up tone (probably borrowed from Juliet's mother!)
"Okay." Sophie said. "And one more thing. It says here that Jordan's brother and sister are living with
their grandparents? Why is that?"
Jackson and Kendra looked at each other. Like they were trying to figure out what to say. "Um.. We
couldn't take care of them. Money got real tight for a while and we had to let them go." Kendra said in a voice
sounding like she was going to cry.
"Okay. Now I'll show you around campus. Peter will probably be with Jordan for a while. Setting down
the rules." Sophie said and led them to the door.
====================================================================================
Holding room (similar to the one in Scott free, where Peter searched Scott's things.)
"Okay Jordan, the rules here are simple... There's no drugs, no sex, no violence.." Peter said laying out the
usual rules just to be interrupted by Jordan.
"Yeah I get all that crap. I read the brochure." Jordan said.
"That leads to the other rules. NO inappropriate language. You must have respect for the others in this
school. And last but certianaly not least, anything you say to me, Sophie, or any of the other counselors at Horizon
will be strictly confidential. Kept between us. Unless of course there was a thought that you might hurt yourself
or someone else. Then we have to contact the proper authorities." Peter said as he made his way to Jordan's bag.
Peter started with Jordans suitcase. There was the normal stuff, clothes, toothbrush, brush, toothpaste. But
there was also coverup make up. Peter took it out.
"What's this?" Peter said holding it up.
"Incase my skin breaks out. I don't like showing my zits." Jordan said.
Peter continued. He got to a picture frame. The same popcicle frame from earlier. "Are these your brother
and sister?" Peter asked.
Jordan got up and grabbed the picture. "Don't touch that. It's mine." he said and held it close to him.
No one ever was suppose to touch it. It was his and if his mom and Jackson knew they'd probably break it on him.
Plus it was the only thin of his brother and sister's that he had left.
"Okay." Peter said and went through the rest of the bag. Then he checked Jordan's bookbag. He came up
with a box cutter, and a bag of pills.
"Your a cutter Jordan?" Peter said in that disappointed voice he had when ever he finds something he hopes
he never will in a kids bag.
Jordan looked embaressed, he hated to admit it cause he did do it sometimes. But he hadn't lately.
"Yeah. But I haven't done it in a while. I SWEAR." he said. Unlike before peter could tell he had hit a nerve and
Jordan wasn't lying.
"I believe you Jordan, But I have to take this. And we'll have you under supervision for a while until we
know you won't do it again."
"Okay." Jordan said, kind of releaved.
"What about the pills?" Peter asked holding up the bag.
"Since when is it a crime to carry some aspirin around with ya. I get car sick and I do get head aches."
Jordan said sarcastically.
"I'll believe that. But let me tell you one thing Jordan, aspirin and cutting don't mix. That combination can
kill you. It thins your blood, causes more bleeding." Peter said and put the aspirin in a bag with the box cutter.
"Yeah I know. But..." Jordan said stopping himself.
You loser, think of what'll happen if you tell. Mom, Jackson.. any of this ringing a bell in your mind.
Shut up...
"But what Jordan?" Peter said and turned around. "What is it."
Jordan grew silent again. He wouldn't even open his mouth. It was a skill he had perfected in his years of
questioning. It worked on cops, on doctors, on nurses, on nosy teachers, on social workers, anyone who had
asked to many questions. The only problem was some people got pretty ticked at it.
"Jordan, are you okay." Peter asked concerned.
Jordan just stared blankly ahead. If he kept his mouth shut about the past he wouldn't get hurt. He
wouldn't get in trouble. He wouldn't get punished, no one would be mad at him. He wouldn't have do deal with the
past, the memories that brought so much pain back.
"Jordan, I can see you don't want to talk about anything right now. That's normal. Why don't we go back
out front and say good bye to your parents. And then I'll introduce you to the cliffhangers and get you settled in."
Jordan and Peter walked out to Sophie and the Thomas's.
"Bye Jordan, honey. We'll miss you. Be good understand." Kendra said in yet another sickingly sweet voice as she
hugged him tightly. squeezing his back.
"Bye Son. You behave yourself. Don't do anything you wouldn't do at home." Jackson warned.
The comment broke Jordan's silence. "I'm not your Freakin son. I hate you. I HATE YOU BOTH. Don't call
me that. You don't deserve to be called my father." Jordan screamed. Peter had to hold him back.
"We're sorry about that Mr. Scarbrow, Mrs. Becker. Jordan has little outbursts like that all the time lately.
Well we better be going or we'll miss our plane." Kendra said as her and Jackson got in the car and drove away
====================================================================================
Part 3
The lodge....
"Cliffhangers, come here." Peter yelled when he got to the lodge with Sophie and Jordan.
"Yo wazz up Peter." A Latino kid asked.
"We have a new groupie Auggie." Peter told the kid.
"Hey dude." Auggie said putting out his hand. "I'm Auggie."
"Oooh, It's a newbie." A girl with longish dark brown hair said. "I'm Juliet."
"I'm Kat." a black girl told him. "The senior cliffhanger."
A weird looking guy with curly black hair came up. He gave him a head nod. 'I'm Ezra." he said.
Next to him was a girl with dark hair to her shoulders. "We come to embrace yet another newbie. I think
this calls for a good ol group session." she said sarcastically.
"That's Daisy." Ezra explained. "Our human fortune cookie,slash Gandi."
"Pleasure to meet ya." Daisy said.
"You guys, where are Shelby and Scott?" Sophie asked.
"They're coming. Scott had to finish writing a song for the piano." Juliet explained.
Just then a blond haired guy and girl come up.
"Sorry Peter, believe we got stuck in traffic?" Shelby asked, not yet seeing Jordan.
"We have a new cliffhanger Shelby. We're having group in a minute."
Shelby looked at Jordan "Robbing the cradle a bit aren't we Peter. What is he 14?"
"I'm 15 and a 1/2 actually. I'll be 16 in 3 months." Jordan said defensively.
"I'm Scott, that Shelby." the boy said. "What's your name any ways.
"This is Jordan Thomas. He came here today. Yeah he's new. He'll be a cliffhanger from now on."
Sophie told all of them. "Why don't we get group started."
"Juliet, Can I see you over here for a minute." Peter asked. "Sophie you go with the others and start group.
Do one of the tribal scream activities... I'll be there in a few."
The rest of the group left to go sit in the chairs while Juliet stayed behind.
"What is it Peter? I know my calorie count is good. I haven't thrown up. I'm following everything." Juliet
said sure of herself
"It's the new kid Jordan. He's a cutter. I don't think he's done it in a while. And I don't think it's serious.
But I want you to talk to him after group for a few minutes. Please Juliet?" Peter asked her nicely.
"You really want me to do that? Isn't that kinda a Kat thing to do?" She asked excited but yet unsure of
herself.
"Yes I do. After your little episode a couple of weeks ago I think that you learned enough to talk to
Jordan about it. I think your qualified. Maybe next time you can even be a buddy." Peter said.
"Thank you Peter!!!" Juliet said looking ready to kiss Peter on the cheek she was so bubbly.
"Now why don't we go back to group now." Peter said, as he but his arm around Juliet and walked back
to the circle of chairs in the middle of the lodge.
When they got there the group had finished their little scream. Sophie told them all to sit down and
reintroduce themselves to Jordan, and he to them. They were going to say their name and then, cause it was
group, how they were feeling right then.
"Scott, why don't you go first." Peter said.
"I'm Scott. And right now I really want to be playing the piano, cause Shelby and I are writing a song." Scott
said looking across and smiling at Shelby.
"Ezra?" Sophie asked
"I'm Ezra, and I really feel like crap, since Daisy rejected me." Ezra said still bitter at the fact that she
"just wanted to be friends"
"Okay, Shelby."
"I'm Shelby and right now I'm mad at Peter cause I don't think we need any new people in our little group.
Look what happened with David, and "Amanda". I don't think we can trust a new guy." she said thinking bitterly
about David and his lesbian comment, and the night when Amanda had pressured her to reveal her secret to
the group and to Scott, who just recently forgave her.
"Shebly, that's not nice." Sophie said. "But since that's what you feel we'll move on, Juliet."
"I'm Juliet, and Right now I feel really good about myself cause peter gave me a new job to do." Juliet said
smiling.
"You go Jules!" Auggie said happily, in the voice he used whenever Juliet felt good about herself.
"Auggie, why don't you go next." Peter said.
"I'm auggie, And right now I feel happy that Jules is fealin good, and also happy cause Homes aint the new
boy, anymore. New Meat." Auggie joked.
"Kat, how bout you."
"I'm Kat. I'm sad that I'm leaving Horizon soon. Graduation isn't that far away." she said. "But that I got
accepted into the collage that I wanted."
"Good one Kat. Daisy."
"Daisy, And I'm mad at Ezra for not agreeing with my feelings. It's not my fault." she said glaring at him,
she had hoped nothing would have changed, that they would still be as close, but they weren't.
"And Jordan, your last."
"Jordan, you all. And I think this whole thing is stupid, I don't belong here. I didn't do anything wrong.
My parents were just finding the easy way out." he said to them.
"Okay Jordan, but why don't you try another comment. Please." Sophie said.
"Fine. I'm Jordan, and I think that this place is Okay. I'm mad at my parents for sending me here cause
I don't think I belong here. But I'll try." he said. Stressing every little point in his sentence.
"Okay. Why don't we end group for today." Peter said getting up. "Daisy, Ezra, Kitchen. Kat, go fill out
some collage aid. Shelby, Auggie, crafts. Scott and Juleit you stay here along with Jordan."
Daisy and Ezra went off to the kitchen, Kat went to her dorm, and Shelby went to crafts. And
Scott and Juliet stayed where they were. Along with Jordan. Peter came up to the three now sitting in a row next
to each other on the couch. Jordan in the middle.
"Scott, your going to be Jordan's buddy." Peter told him.
"But. Why I was already David's buddy. I've learned my lesson there." Scott said complaining.
"Scott, be his buddy or you'll be on kitchen restriction for the rest of the week. You failed your last 3 math
tests. You need to have a little boost in the right direction." Peter said and laughed.
"Blackmail." Scott said and shook Peters hand laughing.
"Jordan, that means Scott with be with you at all times. He'll show you around campus, you'll eat meals
together, do the exercises together, attend sessions together. All that stuff. He'll answer any questions you have."
Peter explained.
"I don't need a baby sitter. I can find the way around myself." he said.
"Oh boy. Believe me you can't. I didn't get a buddy when I got here, for the first 2 days. Believe me.
They help a lot. And don't pull anything cause I DON'T want a "buddy-hike-back" Scott said.
"Scott Why don't you go to the dorm. Jordan's already scene it. We'll meet you there." Peter told him.
"Sure.' Scott said and left.
"Jordan. I'm going to leave you and Juliet here to have a little post admission talk." Peter said and then
nodded at Juliet and walked away.
Juliet sat, she was really nervous. She didn't know what to say to Jordan. She hardly even knew what to
say to herself sometimes. Jordan just sat looking at her. Making the sense of uncomfortableness even worse.
"Talk already." Jordan said.
A few more minutes of silence past until Juliet spoke. "I heard your a cutter." she said to him.
"I guess.... I mean I was...." he said not knowing what to say.
"I am." she said kind of soft. Like she was ashamed at it, which she was, she knew it was a bad thing,
but she couldn't help herself.
"You are?" he said surprised. He didn't know anyone else that cut themselves.
"Yeah." she said and pulling up her sleeve. The cuts she had made the few weeks before just before
she ran with Auggie. Were healed up mostly. All except one. There were a lot of scars there though.
"Why'd you do it?" he asked her.
"I got a letter from my mom, she was getting married again. To what is it, number 5, 4, one of the 2.
I was suppose to be going but then she said that I couldn't. I was mad. And plus I'm like an eating disorder melting
pot. I did it to take away the pain that she had caused me. Pressuring me to be the "perfect" daughter." she said.
"Is that why your here?" he asked. "Cause you cut and stuff."
"That, and I tried to commit suicide once from it. Everyone freaked. They sent me here to get help cause
I couldn't get it at home." Juliet said.
"Oh." was all he could say.
"Why do you cut?" she asked him.
"I haven't in a long time. Not in like 2 months." he said,
"Not since Hailey's 8th birthday." he thought to himself.
"But when you do, why do you cut." she asked serious and directly, unlike the usually meek Juliet.
"To take away the pain I guess. By doing it myself, no matter what anyone else does to hurt me. It's no
match for that feeling when the blade cuts your skin. Everything disappears." he said.
"When did you start?" she asked him.
Jordan thought back. And he couldn't shut up no matter what his mind was telling him. It was pouring out.
But he knew to keep restraint on what he said.
"When I was 13 was the first time. When Hailey and Dillion were taken away." he said almost in a whisper.
"Your brother and sister?" she asked, wishing Peter were here to hear this.
He just nodded his head.
"Why were they taken away?" she asked innocently.
Then Jordan got defensive, the same way he had gotten when peter asked him in the holding room.
"What is this 20 questions. Shut up. I don't want an interrogation. Shut up." Jordan yelled at her.
Juliet started to cry and Sophie came up to her.
"Jordan, go to your dorm now! Wait there until Peter comes to talk to you." she yelled at him and then
across the lodge while trying to comfort Juliet. "Drew, take Jordan to the Cliffhangers dorm. Ken go tell Peter to
get over there."
=====================================================================================
The Kitchen.
Daisy and Ezra were barely on speaking terms. They were taking their frustrations out on the dishes.
Ezra was scrubbing them furiously. Daisy was drying them as fast as she could. She was getting madder at Ezra
every minute that there was silence. And he was feeling worse and worse about what he had said. Finally Daisy
ended the silence.
"You jerk. Talk to me. I'm hating you more and more when you don't. Your my best friend Ez. That should
be enough for you. It is for me." she said and threw a glass onto the floor.
Ezra started laughing at the glass. It was plastic so it didn't break. He knew that was what she had hoped
would happen.
"Hey. It's not my fault we don't have glass glasses." she said and started laughing to.
Ezra looked at her. And then threw some soap suds at her. That started a soap sud war. Jeff came in and
caught them. He just started laughing.
"If you guys can clean this up in the next 10 minutes. I'll tell Peter nothing." Jeff said unusually happy.
"Um. Who are you and what have you done with Jeff's soul?" Ezra asked looking at Jeff.
"Ezra, cut it out. I'm just in a really great mood today. Well I have to go. I'll check back in 10." he said
as he left.
Daisy and Ezra looked at each other. Usually Jeff was uptight and a klutz. He hadn't tripped on the wet
floor and he had let them off without the chance of restriction. Really freaky.
"What do you thinks up with him?" Ezra asked.
"Men." Daisy sighed. "It's gotta be a girl you moron."
"Hey. Look who's talking you were the one who thought a plastic cup would break." he said chuckling.
"We should clean this up. 9 minutes left." Daisy said beginning down to get the cup.
They started cleaning.
===================================================================================
Cliffhangers Dorm room
As soon as Drew had escorted Jordan to the Cliffhangers dorm, Jordan was feeling awful. He had made a
girl, a girl he had just met even, cry. He hated seeing people cry. And to think he caused it... He felt awful.
His hands were trembling as he sat down on his bed. "Your becoming more and more like Jackson.
You can't be like him. NEVER!!!" He said to himself. He had meant the comment to comfort him, but it had made him
feel worse.
He put his head in his hands and breathed deeply. He wanted this bad feeling to go away. He hated himself.
"Maybe it was a good thing to leave" He thought. "Maybe now you'll stop acting like him. Be yourself again."
He felt the need to cut right then. He tried to find anything to cause himself pain. He had done one of the
things he'd said, he'd promised, he'd never do. But he had.
Finally he had found a little piece of glass, little but sharp, on the floor. But just as he was about to make
the first slash Peter came in.
"Jordan we don't tolerate this behavior. Juliet was trying to help you." Peter said to him.
Sitting on the bed across from him. Jordan had to look down just so he couldn't see Peter, see the angry,
mean look that he thought would be in his eyes. The look that was always in Jackson's and Kendra's eyes, when
they looked at him, yelled at him.
Jordan didn't say a word. "Don't talk. You'll get hurt less that way." he told himself.
"You've only been here what? 7 hours Jordan. And you've already done enough to but you on restriction,
shuns even. " Peter said and then thought to himself. "Good thing I buddied him up with Scott, he's got that
record to, but he ran."
Jordan still pretended not to be listening. But he heard every word. He was practically scared to death.
Wondering what Peter would do to him. He hated not knowing what people would do to him.
"Do you have anything to say before I decide your punishment?" Peter asked.
There was one thing he wanted to do. "Can I um..." he said still scared.
"Can you what Jordan." his voice softening a little.
"Can I apologize to Juliet please? Before anything else. Then you can do whatever you want to me. I
just have to tell her I'm sorry." Jordan said insistently.
"I'll make a deal." peter said.
Jordan never got deals, breaks. It was always getting what he "deserved". He didn't know what to think.
"You are to keep a journal everyday. Scott WILL make sure you write it. You are to write an apology to
Juliet right now. Scott will stay here with you. You need to be under supervision. You guys will go to dinner
together. Then you can either write some more our you can hang out in the lodge with the other cliffhangers.
At dinner you are to give Juliet the letter and apologize to her remember."
"Okay. Can I start now?" Jordan asked, picking up a piece of paper.
"Go ahead, and Jordan don't do that again." Peter said as he left and Scott came in.
Jordan started writing.
"Dear Juliet,
I'm so sorry about yelling at you. I'm sorry that I made you cry. I swore I would never make
a girl, or anyone else, cry. If I could take it all back I would. I feel awful. I tried to cut but that Peter guy came
in. It's like I hurt you so I deserve to be hurt worse. "Bad boys deserve to get punished" you know.I'm sorry
and I hope you forgive me. I would understand if you didn't I mean you were trying to help me, so Peter says,
and I made you cry and feel bad. I don't really think I deserve your friendship after that. But It's your call.
I guess It would be nice to know another cutter. No one else I know cuts. Your the first. I'd really like some
one to talk to about it. Sorry Again Juliet. I'll make it up to you somehow.
Jordan"
There. The letter was finished. Then he thought of Peter's words, "Start a Journal." So he did.
"They made me see a doctor today. I HATE doctors." he started to write in the little purple notebook
his grandparents had sent for his birthday. "Their evil and they suck. They do 2 things. They find bad stuff in good
people. They found cancer in Daddy (God I sound like a little kid saying that one). They made Daddy die. Made
mom blame me, I don't know how she did but she did. They were the one's that told Daddy he was sick. Not me.
they told him he was sick and he died. Why couldn't they say mom was sick and let her die? They also took
Hailey and Dillion away from me. They found the bruises on Hailey's back, and Dillion's back. I still wonder how
that happened. How they got there, I mean didn't I protect them enough. Unless it was the night Jackson and
mom came home real drunk, hehehe ohhh, that sucked big time. What if she (the doctor) had checked me?
What would have happened. Oh well.... I am so mad at myself. Juliet, this girl at horizon, was talking to
me about cutting. When she asked about Hailey and Dill, I flipped out at her, I made her cry. Oh God, I'm
more like Jackson every damn day (sorry bout that, lost track). I hate them even more for that. I hope they
get what they deserve for it all someday."
Just as Jordan finished writing Scott called him. "Hey ready for dinner?"
"Yeah." Jordan said as he grabbed the letter and they walked out.
=====================================================================================
When Scott and Jordan got to the dinning hall they went over and handed Juliet the note. She read it but
didn't say anything.
"I'm really sorry." he said as him and Scott walked away to get dinner.
As Scott and Jordan were walking back to the table Auggie came up. He was mad. He pushed Jordan's tray
to the floor.
"Yo. Dude, you made Jules cry. Man that's low. I ought to mess you up." Auggie said putting up his fist.
Jordan closed his eyes and braced himself for the Hit he knew he deserved. He knew that if Auggie pounded
on him, he would deserve that to. He waited for the punch, but it never came. Jordan opened his eyes. Scott had
caught the punch.
"Yo Homes, what's up with that?" Auggie asked Scott angrily.
"Settle down Aug. He apologized. He feels bad enough man." Scott said calming Auggie down.
Auggie looked at Jordan, who was still kinda scared. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make her cry. REALLY."
Jordan said.
"I'm sorry to. I just don't like it when Jules cries, she does things." Auggie said. The two shook hands.
As the three guys made their way to the cliffhanger table. Juliet spoke up.
"Jordan, I accept your apology." She said and sat back down.
The rest of the cliffhangers were happy about that. They all sat down to eat. Jordan had to be the happiest
at the table that night.
TO BE CONTINUED......
I know thats not a great ending but I needed to finish part 2/3 like that cause part 4 is a little later.
Jordan's friends from his home. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Note: This continues with part 1. It's still Jordan's first day at horizon and he already gets introuble. (hehehe) Plus we learn
some more intresting things about him.
Pt. 2
Jordan and Peter were in front of the Nurse's office. Jordan was suppose to be getting his physical. But he
really didn't want to.
"No. I hate doctors...." he said stubbornly. "They scare me. I'm not going in."
"Jordan, you have to. It's regulation. Mary Anne won't hurt you. She doesn't bite" Peter said trying to get Jordan
to go into the office.
"I don't care. I'm not going to go."
"I'm going to have to go call your parents if you don't." Peter said to him.
That got to Jordan right away and he gave in. "Fine. I'm going." he said and went in.
It wasn't that he was scared of the doctor per say but what the doctor might find. Doctors did 2 things in
his eyes. They found cancer in Good people, and also they caused trouble. (More about this later on)
Jordan went in. Mary Anne was waiting for him. "You must be Jordan." she said.
"Yeah, who'd you expect, a monster." He said snottily, expecting her to get mad but she just laughed.
"Well actually no. Okay. I can tell you don't want to be here so we'll make this quick. I'm just going to
give you a quick check up, blood test, and breathalizer test, which is mandatory by the way. So if you want to
give me your arm, I'll do the blood first." she said nicely to him.
Jordan pulled up his sleeve. There were cuts and a couple of burn marks on it. He forgot they were even
there until she said something.
"How did you get these cuts Jordan." She said pointing to some on his upper arm.
"Bicycle accident" he said. "When I was 12."
"And these down here?" she said as she took some blood.
"Um. That big one is from Cutting. I've cut myself before, what's that called, um.. self-mutalation" he
said laughing. "The burns, they were accidents. If you were wondering." he said to her.
Mary Anne asked no questions about his answers. She went on and gave him the thermometer and took his
temp, looked at his eyes, and throat. Then she checked his reflexes. They were fine.
"Now I want you to lay down on this bed here." she said pointing to the examining table.
As Mary Anne was checking his abdomen, pressing here and there. When she got to just below his right rib
cage Jordan yelled in pain.
"Oww. Hey, watch it lady. Don't touch me again." he said getting up.
"Jordan, sit down. I promise I won't hurt you again." she said, Jordan almost believed her.
"Don't believe her you moron, how many times have you heard that line before? But if you don't
she'll call Peter." he thought to himself and realizing that, he sat back down.
"Okay. Sorry about that. Now can you pull up your shirt so I can see what's the matter." she asked
nicely. In a voice Jordan hadn't heard in a while.
Reluctantly Jordan pulled up his shirt. Revealing a black and blue mark, about the size of a softball, right
under his ribs, the place where he had been kick by Jackson, in the kitchen.
"How'd you get this?" she asked.
"Fell out of bed during the night. Landed full force right on my shoe. It hurt like hell." he said, adding
the last part of believability.
"Jordan, we don't use that language here." She said trying to be as polite as possible, but Jordan was
beginning to get on her nerves.
"Whatever. Can we please just get this over with?" he said sounding equally annoyed.
"We just need to check your breathing and then the breathalizer test."
"Breathalizer test first please." he said knowing he would pass, and he did to.
"Good Job. Now pull up your shirt." She said to him.
"Do I have to?" I don't like doing that. The stethoscope's cold." he said whining.
"Fine." she said giving in. "Take a deep breath. Breath in, and out."
He did what she wanted him to and then went out.
"Peter, can we leave. That lady's a witch." Jordan said as he took his bags.
"Sure Jordan." Peter said, and sighed. He thought he was beginning to realize with Jordan's behavior
why he was sent to Horizon.
===================================================================================
Sophie and the Thomas's....
"Mrs. Thomas, how did your late husband die?" Sophie asked looking at a copy of Jordan's transcripts.
"Matthew had cancer. It was in his kidneys and it happened quite fast. But it hit hard. Jordan blamed himself, I
think he still does." Mrs. Thomas, (a.k.a. Kendra) said sickingly sweetly.
"How old was Jordan when he died?" she asked
"Jordan just turned six about two weeks before Matthew died." she answered.
Sophie wrote that down in the margins of the paper. "When did you two get married. How did Jordan
react?" Sophie said.
"We got married when Jordan was 7." Jackson said. "I don't think he liked it. It was so soon after his
father's death. We started dating about 2 months after."
"Don't you think that's a little to soon? With a loss like that, for a little kid I can understand." Sophie said
feeling kind of mad at Jordan's parents.
"Well I have a life to. I wanted to be happy. Matthew and I weren't really that close anyhow. He mostly
stayed for Jordan." Kendra said in a stuck up tone (probably borrowed from Juliet's mother!)
"Okay." Sophie said. "And one more thing. It says here that Jordan's brother and sister are living with
their grandparents? Why is that?"
Jackson and Kendra looked at each other. Like they were trying to figure out what to say. "Um.. We
couldn't take care of them. Money got real tight for a while and we had to let them go." Kendra said in a voice
sounding like she was going to cry.
"Okay. Now I'll show you around campus. Peter will probably be with Jordan for a while. Setting down
the rules." Sophie said and led them to the door.
====================================================================================
Holding room (similar to the one in Scott free, where Peter searched Scott's things.)
"Okay Jordan, the rules here are simple... There's no drugs, no sex, no violence.." Peter said laying out the
usual rules just to be interrupted by Jordan.
"Yeah I get all that crap. I read the brochure." Jordan said.
"That leads to the other rules. NO inappropriate language. You must have respect for the others in this
school. And last but certianaly not least, anything you say to me, Sophie, or any of the other counselors at Horizon
will be strictly confidential. Kept between us. Unless of course there was a thought that you might hurt yourself
or someone else. Then we have to contact the proper authorities." Peter said as he made his way to Jordan's bag.
Peter started with Jordans suitcase. There was the normal stuff, clothes, toothbrush, brush, toothpaste. But
there was also coverup make up. Peter took it out.
"What's this?" Peter said holding it up.
"Incase my skin breaks out. I don't like showing my zits." Jordan said.
Peter continued. He got to a picture frame. The same popcicle frame from earlier. "Are these your brother
and sister?" Peter asked.
Jordan got up and grabbed the picture. "Don't touch that. It's mine." he said and held it close to him.
No one ever was suppose to touch it. It was his and if his mom and Jackson knew they'd probably break it on him.
Plus it was the only thin of his brother and sister's that he had left.
"Okay." Peter said and went through the rest of the bag. Then he checked Jordan's bookbag. He came up
with a box cutter, and a bag of pills.
"Your a cutter Jordan?" Peter said in that disappointed voice he had when ever he finds something he hopes
he never will in a kids bag.
Jordan looked embaressed, he hated to admit it cause he did do it sometimes. But he hadn't lately.
"Yeah. But I haven't done it in a while. I SWEAR." he said. Unlike before peter could tell he had hit a nerve and
Jordan wasn't lying.
"I believe you Jordan, But I have to take this. And we'll have you under supervision for a while until we
know you won't do it again."
"Okay." Jordan said, kind of releaved.
"What about the pills?" Peter asked holding up the bag.
"Since when is it a crime to carry some aspirin around with ya. I get car sick and I do get head aches."
Jordan said sarcastically.
"I'll believe that. But let me tell you one thing Jordan, aspirin and cutting don't mix. That combination can
kill you. It thins your blood, causes more bleeding." Peter said and put the aspirin in a bag with the box cutter.
"Yeah I know. But..." Jordan said stopping himself.
You loser, think of what'll happen if you tell. Mom, Jackson.. any of this ringing a bell in your mind.
Shut up...
"But what Jordan?" Peter said and turned around. "What is it."
Jordan grew silent again. He wouldn't even open his mouth. It was a skill he had perfected in his years of
questioning. It worked on cops, on doctors, on nurses, on nosy teachers, on social workers, anyone who had
asked to many questions. The only problem was some people got pretty ticked at it.
"Jordan, are you okay." Peter asked concerned.
Jordan just stared blankly ahead. If he kept his mouth shut about the past he wouldn't get hurt. He
wouldn't get in trouble. He wouldn't get punished, no one would be mad at him. He wouldn't have do deal with the
past, the memories that brought so much pain back.
"Jordan, I can see you don't want to talk about anything right now. That's normal. Why don't we go back
out front and say good bye to your parents. And then I'll introduce you to the cliffhangers and get you settled in."
Jordan and Peter walked out to Sophie and the Thomas's.
"Bye Jordan, honey. We'll miss you. Be good understand." Kendra said in yet another sickingly sweet voice as she
hugged him tightly. squeezing his back.
"Bye Son. You behave yourself. Don't do anything you wouldn't do at home." Jackson warned.
The comment broke Jordan's silence. "I'm not your Freakin son. I hate you. I HATE YOU BOTH. Don't call
me that. You don't deserve to be called my father." Jordan screamed. Peter had to hold him back.
"We're sorry about that Mr. Scarbrow, Mrs. Becker. Jordan has little outbursts like that all the time lately.
Well we better be going or we'll miss our plane." Kendra said as her and Jackson got in the car and drove away
====================================================================================
Part 3
The lodge....
"Cliffhangers, come here." Peter yelled when he got to the lodge with Sophie and Jordan.
"Yo wazz up Peter." A Latino kid asked.
"We have a new groupie Auggie." Peter told the kid.
"Hey dude." Auggie said putting out his hand. "I'm Auggie."
"Oooh, It's a newbie." A girl with longish dark brown hair said. "I'm Juliet."
"I'm Kat." a black girl told him. "The senior cliffhanger."
A weird looking guy with curly black hair came up. He gave him a head nod. 'I'm Ezra." he said.
Next to him was a girl with dark hair to her shoulders. "We come to embrace yet another newbie. I think
this calls for a good ol group session." she said sarcastically.
"That's Daisy." Ezra explained. "Our human fortune cookie,slash Gandi."
"Pleasure to meet ya." Daisy said.
"You guys, where are Shelby and Scott?" Sophie asked.
"They're coming. Scott had to finish writing a song for the piano." Juliet explained.
Just then a blond haired guy and girl come up.
"Sorry Peter, believe we got stuck in traffic?" Shelby asked, not yet seeing Jordan.
"We have a new cliffhanger Shelby. We're having group in a minute."
Shelby looked at Jordan "Robbing the cradle a bit aren't we Peter. What is he 14?"
"I'm 15 and a 1/2 actually. I'll be 16 in 3 months." Jordan said defensively.
"I'm Scott, that Shelby." the boy said. "What's your name any ways.
"This is Jordan Thomas. He came here today. Yeah he's new. He'll be a cliffhanger from now on."
Sophie told all of them. "Why don't we get group started."
"Juliet, Can I see you over here for a minute." Peter asked. "Sophie you go with the others and start group.
Do one of the tribal scream activities... I'll be there in a few."
The rest of the group left to go sit in the chairs while Juliet stayed behind.
"What is it Peter? I know my calorie count is good. I haven't thrown up. I'm following everything." Juliet
said sure of herself
"It's the new kid Jordan. He's a cutter. I don't think he's done it in a while. And I don't think it's serious.
But I want you to talk to him after group for a few minutes. Please Juliet?" Peter asked her nicely.
"You really want me to do that? Isn't that kinda a Kat thing to do?" She asked excited but yet unsure of
herself.
"Yes I do. After your little episode a couple of weeks ago I think that you learned enough to talk to
Jordan about it. I think your qualified. Maybe next time you can even be a buddy." Peter said.
"Thank you Peter!!!" Juliet said looking ready to kiss Peter on the cheek she was so bubbly.
"Now why don't we go back to group now." Peter said, as he but his arm around Juliet and walked back
to the circle of chairs in the middle of the lodge.
When they got there the group had finished their little scream. Sophie told them all to sit down and
reintroduce themselves to Jordan, and he to them. They were going to say their name and then, cause it was
group, how they were feeling right then.
"Scott, why don't you go first." Peter said.
"I'm Scott. And right now I really want to be playing the piano, cause Shelby and I are writing a song." Scott
said looking across and smiling at Shelby.
"Ezra?" Sophie asked
"I'm Ezra, and I really feel like crap, since Daisy rejected me." Ezra said still bitter at the fact that she
"just wanted to be friends"
"Okay, Shelby."
"I'm Shelby and right now I'm mad at Peter cause I don't think we need any new people in our little group.
Look what happened with David, and "Amanda". I don't think we can trust a new guy." she said thinking bitterly
about David and his lesbian comment, and the night when Amanda had pressured her to reveal her secret to
the group and to Scott, who just recently forgave her.
"Shebly, that's not nice." Sophie said. "But since that's what you feel we'll move on, Juliet."
"I'm Juliet, and Right now I feel really good about myself cause peter gave me a new job to do." Juliet said
smiling.
"You go Jules!" Auggie said happily, in the voice he used whenever Juliet felt good about herself.
"Auggie, why don't you go next." Peter said.
"I'm auggie, And right now I feel happy that Jules is fealin good, and also happy cause Homes aint the new
boy, anymore. New Meat." Auggie joked.
"Kat, how bout you."
"I'm Kat. I'm sad that I'm leaving Horizon soon. Graduation isn't that far away." she said. "But that I got
accepted into the collage that I wanted."
"Good one Kat. Daisy."
"Daisy, And I'm mad at Ezra for not agreeing with my feelings. It's not my fault." she said glaring at him,
she had hoped nothing would have changed, that they would still be as close, but they weren't.
"And Jordan, your last."
"Jordan, you all. And I think this whole thing is stupid, I don't belong here. I didn't do anything wrong.
My parents were just finding the easy way out." he said to them.
"Okay Jordan, but why don't you try another comment. Please." Sophie said.
"Fine. I'm Jordan, and I think that this place is Okay. I'm mad at my parents for sending me here cause
I don't think I belong here. But I'll try." he said. Stressing every little point in his sentence.
"Okay. Why don't we end group for today." Peter said getting up. "Daisy, Ezra, Kitchen. Kat, go fill out
some collage aid. Shelby, Auggie, crafts. Scott and Juleit you stay here along with Jordan."
Daisy and Ezra went off to the kitchen, Kat went to her dorm, and Shelby went to crafts. And
Scott and Juliet stayed where they were. Along with Jordan. Peter came up to the three now sitting in a row next
to each other on the couch. Jordan in the middle.
"Scott, your going to be Jordan's buddy." Peter told him.
"But. Why I was already David's buddy. I've learned my lesson there." Scott said complaining.
"Scott, be his buddy or you'll be on kitchen restriction for the rest of the week. You failed your last 3 math
tests. You need to have a little boost in the right direction." Peter said and laughed.
"Blackmail." Scott said and shook Peters hand laughing.
"Jordan, that means Scott with be with you at all times. He'll show you around campus, you'll eat meals
together, do the exercises together, attend sessions together. All that stuff. He'll answer any questions you have."
Peter explained.
"I don't need a baby sitter. I can find the way around myself." he said.
"Oh boy. Believe me you can't. I didn't get a buddy when I got here, for the first 2 days. Believe me.
They help a lot. And don't pull anything cause I DON'T want a "buddy-hike-back" Scott said.
"Scott Why don't you go to the dorm. Jordan's already scene it. We'll meet you there." Peter told him.
"Sure.' Scott said and left.
"Jordan. I'm going to leave you and Juliet here to have a little post admission talk." Peter said and then
nodded at Juliet and walked away.
Juliet sat, she was really nervous. She didn't know what to say to Jordan. She hardly even knew what to
say to herself sometimes. Jordan just sat looking at her. Making the sense of uncomfortableness even worse.
"Talk already." Jordan said.
A few more minutes of silence past until Juliet spoke. "I heard your a cutter." she said to him.
"I guess.... I mean I was...." he said not knowing what to say.
"I am." she said kind of soft. Like she was ashamed at it, which she was, she knew it was a bad thing,
but she couldn't help herself.
"You are?" he said surprised. He didn't know anyone else that cut themselves.
"Yeah." she said and pulling up her sleeve. The cuts she had made the few weeks before just before
she ran with Auggie. Were healed up mostly. All except one. There were a lot of scars there though.
"Why'd you do it?" he asked her.
"I got a letter from my mom, she was getting married again. To what is it, number 5, 4, one of the 2.
I was suppose to be going but then she said that I couldn't. I was mad. And plus I'm like an eating disorder melting
pot. I did it to take away the pain that she had caused me. Pressuring me to be the "perfect" daughter." she said.
"Is that why your here?" he asked. "Cause you cut and stuff."
"That, and I tried to commit suicide once from it. Everyone freaked. They sent me here to get help cause
I couldn't get it at home." Juliet said.
"Oh." was all he could say.
"Why do you cut?" she asked him.
"I haven't in a long time. Not in like 2 months." he said,
"Not since Hailey's 8th birthday." he thought to himself.
"But when you do, why do you cut." she asked serious and directly, unlike the usually meek Juliet.
"To take away the pain I guess. By doing it myself, no matter what anyone else does to hurt me. It's no
match for that feeling when the blade cuts your skin. Everything disappears." he said.
"When did you start?" she asked him.
Jordan thought back. And he couldn't shut up no matter what his mind was telling him. It was pouring out.
But he knew to keep restraint on what he said.
"When I was 13 was the first time. When Hailey and Dillion were taken away." he said almost in a whisper.
"Your brother and sister?" she asked, wishing Peter were here to hear this.
He just nodded his head.
"Why were they taken away?" she asked innocently.
Then Jordan got defensive, the same way he had gotten when peter asked him in the holding room.
"What is this 20 questions. Shut up. I don't want an interrogation. Shut up." Jordan yelled at her.
Juliet started to cry and Sophie came up to her.
"Jordan, go to your dorm now! Wait there until Peter comes to talk to you." she yelled at him and then
across the lodge while trying to comfort Juliet. "Drew, take Jordan to the Cliffhangers dorm. Ken go tell Peter to
get over there."
=====================================================================================
The Kitchen.
Daisy and Ezra were barely on speaking terms. They were taking their frustrations out on the dishes.
Ezra was scrubbing them furiously. Daisy was drying them as fast as she could. She was getting madder at Ezra
every minute that there was silence. And he was feeling worse and worse about what he had said. Finally Daisy
ended the silence.
"You jerk. Talk to me. I'm hating you more and more when you don't. Your my best friend Ez. That should
be enough for you. It is for me." she said and threw a glass onto the floor.
Ezra started laughing at the glass. It was plastic so it didn't break. He knew that was what she had hoped
would happen.
"Hey. It's not my fault we don't have glass glasses." she said and started laughing to.
Ezra looked at her. And then threw some soap suds at her. That started a soap sud war. Jeff came in and
caught them. He just started laughing.
"If you guys can clean this up in the next 10 minutes. I'll tell Peter nothing." Jeff said unusually happy.
"Um. Who are you and what have you done with Jeff's soul?" Ezra asked looking at Jeff.
"Ezra, cut it out. I'm just in a really great mood today. Well I have to go. I'll check back in 10." he said
as he left.
Daisy and Ezra looked at each other. Usually Jeff was uptight and a klutz. He hadn't tripped on the wet
floor and he had let them off without the chance of restriction. Really freaky.
"What do you thinks up with him?" Ezra asked.
"Men." Daisy sighed. "It's gotta be a girl you moron."
"Hey. Look who's talking you were the one who thought a plastic cup would break." he said chuckling.
"We should clean this up. 9 minutes left." Daisy said beginning down to get the cup.
They started cleaning.
===================================================================================
Cliffhangers Dorm room
As soon as Drew had escorted Jordan to the Cliffhangers dorm, Jordan was feeling awful. He had made a
girl, a girl he had just met even, cry. He hated seeing people cry. And to think he caused it... He felt awful.
His hands were trembling as he sat down on his bed. "Your becoming more and more like Jackson.
You can't be like him. NEVER!!!" He said to himself. He had meant the comment to comfort him, but it had made him
feel worse.
He put his head in his hands and breathed deeply. He wanted this bad feeling to go away. He hated himself.
"Maybe it was a good thing to leave" He thought. "Maybe now you'll stop acting like him. Be yourself again."
He felt the need to cut right then. He tried to find anything to cause himself pain. He had done one of the
things he'd said, he'd promised, he'd never do. But he had.
Finally he had found a little piece of glass, little but sharp, on the floor. But just as he was about to make
the first slash Peter came in.
"Jordan we don't tolerate this behavior. Juliet was trying to help you." Peter said to him.
Sitting on the bed across from him. Jordan had to look down just so he couldn't see Peter, see the angry,
mean look that he thought would be in his eyes. The look that was always in Jackson's and Kendra's eyes, when
they looked at him, yelled at him.
Jordan didn't say a word. "Don't talk. You'll get hurt less that way." he told himself.
"You've only been here what? 7 hours Jordan. And you've already done enough to but you on restriction,
shuns even. " Peter said and then thought to himself. "Good thing I buddied him up with Scott, he's got that
record to, but he ran."
Jordan still pretended not to be listening. But he heard every word. He was practically scared to death.
Wondering what Peter would do to him. He hated not knowing what people would do to him.
"Do you have anything to say before I decide your punishment?" Peter asked.
There was one thing he wanted to do. "Can I um..." he said still scared.
"Can you what Jordan." his voice softening a little.
"Can I apologize to Juliet please? Before anything else. Then you can do whatever you want to me. I
just have to tell her I'm sorry." Jordan said insistently.
"I'll make a deal." peter said.
Jordan never got deals, breaks. It was always getting what he "deserved". He didn't know what to think.
"You are to keep a journal everyday. Scott WILL make sure you write it. You are to write an apology to
Juliet right now. Scott will stay here with you. You need to be under supervision. You guys will go to dinner
together. Then you can either write some more our you can hang out in the lodge with the other cliffhangers.
At dinner you are to give Juliet the letter and apologize to her remember."
"Okay. Can I start now?" Jordan asked, picking up a piece of paper.
"Go ahead, and Jordan don't do that again." Peter said as he left and Scott came in.
Jordan started writing.
"Dear Juliet,
I'm so sorry about yelling at you. I'm sorry that I made you cry. I swore I would never make
a girl, or anyone else, cry. If I could take it all back I would. I feel awful. I tried to cut but that Peter guy came
in. It's like I hurt you so I deserve to be hurt worse. "Bad boys deserve to get punished" you know.I'm sorry
and I hope you forgive me. I would understand if you didn't I mean you were trying to help me, so Peter says,
and I made you cry and feel bad. I don't really think I deserve your friendship after that. But It's your call.
I guess It would be nice to know another cutter. No one else I know cuts. Your the first. I'd really like some
one to talk to about it. Sorry Again Juliet. I'll make it up to you somehow.
Jordan"
There. The letter was finished. Then he thought of Peter's words, "Start a Journal." So he did.
"They made me see a doctor today. I HATE doctors." he started to write in the little purple notebook
his grandparents had sent for his birthday. "Their evil and they suck. They do 2 things. They find bad stuff in good
people. They found cancer in Daddy (God I sound like a little kid saying that one). They made Daddy die. Made
mom blame me, I don't know how she did but she did. They were the one's that told Daddy he was sick. Not me.
they told him he was sick and he died. Why couldn't they say mom was sick and let her die? They also took
Hailey and Dillion away from me. They found the bruises on Hailey's back, and Dillion's back. I still wonder how
that happened. How they got there, I mean didn't I protect them enough. Unless it was the night Jackson and
mom came home real drunk, hehehe ohhh, that sucked big time. What if she (the doctor) had checked me?
What would have happened. Oh well.... I am so mad at myself. Juliet, this girl at horizon, was talking to
me about cutting. When she asked about Hailey and Dill, I flipped out at her, I made her cry. Oh God, I'm
more like Jackson every damn day (sorry bout that, lost track). I hate them even more for that. I hope they
get what they deserve for it all someday."
Just as Jordan finished writing Scott called him. "Hey ready for dinner?"
"Yeah." Jordan said as he grabbed the letter and they walked out.
=====================================================================================
When Scott and Jordan got to the dinning hall they went over and handed Juliet the note. She read it but
didn't say anything.
"I'm really sorry." he said as him and Scott walked away to get dinner.
As Scott and Jordan were walking back to the table Auggie came up. He was mad. He pushed Jordan's tray
to the floor.
"Yo. Dude, you made Jules cry. Man that's low. I ought to mess you up." Auggie said putting up his fist.
Jordan closed his eyes and braced himself for the Hit he knew he deserved. He knew that if Auggie pounded
on him, he would deserve that to. He waited for the punch, but it never came. Jordan opened his eyes. Scott had
caught the punch.
"Yo Homes, what's up with that?" Auggie asked Scott angrily.
"Settle down Aug. He apologized. He feels bad enough man." Scott said calming Auggie down.
Auggie looked at Jordan, who was still kinda scared. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make her cry. REALLY."
Jordan said.
"I'm sorry to. I just don't like it when Jules cries, she does things." Auggie said. The two shook hands.
As the three guys made their way to the cliffhanger table. Juliet spoke up.
"Jordan, I accept your apology." She said and sat back down.
The rest of the cliffhangers were happy about that. They all sat down to eat. Jordan had to be the happiest
at the table that night.
TO BE CONTINUED......
I know thats not a great ending but I needed to finish part 2/3 like that cause part 4 is a little later.
