Best Friend
Ten minutes later the girls went back to their dorm.
"Are you ok?" Kat asked.
"Yup," Kelly replied.
"Well we have to go to classes soon," Kat replied.
"How come you left breakfast?" Juliette asked.
"I felt like being alone," she replied starting to get angry.
"Oh ok. Well if you ever need to talk..." Juliette began to say.
"You're here. What is it with place? Everyone wants to talk. Haven't you ever thought about giving some people privacy?" Kelly said angrily. The others just looked at her in shock.
"I was just trying to be nice," Juliette defended.
"I'm sorry I blew up on you like that but I'm tired of people asking me if I want to talk," she said calming down.
Kelly walked out and headed to her classes.
"I didn't expect that," Shelby said still shocked.
"Can't she see were just trying to help?" Juliette said.
"Not everyone wants to talk about their problems Princess," Shelby snapped.
The girls walked to their classes. Shelby and Daisy kept their distance from Kat and Juliette.
"What do you think of the newbie?" Shelby asked.
"A little too cheerful. She's got potential by seeing that outburst she just had," Daisy replied.
"What do you think of her spending time with your boyfriend?"
"It doesn't bother me. They have to catch up. What do you think of her?"
"I don't know. She doesn't really talk that much to me."
"Do you want her to be a talker like Jules?"
"Good point. Quiet is good." Shelby smiled.
The Cliffhangers finished their classes and headed to a picnic table to do their homework. They had a half-hour before group.
"What's group?" Kelly asked.
"Its just where we all discus a topic Peter or Sophie gives us." Auggie replied.
"Oh."
"I'm finished," Ezra said.
"Me too," Kelly said.
"Well aren't you two smarty-pants," Shelby said sarcastically.
Ezra and Kelly helped the others with their homework.
"Ok guys this will be Kelly's first group." Peter said.
"Lucky her." Daisy said sarcastically.
"Ok discussion today is about siblings. How do you feel about them? Auggie start us off."
"I wish my bro would leave me alone and stop messin' with me. Jules."
"I wish I had a sister. It would have been nice to have someone to play with when I was younger. Shelby."
"I wish my sister didn't have to go through what I did. Scott."
"I'm glad I didn't have a brother or sister. Then they wouldn't have seen how messed up I was. Daisy."
"I'm glad I don't have any siblings. This way they didn't have to see how screwed up mommy and daddy are. Ezra."
"Maybe I have a brother or sister. Who knows? Kat."
"I miss Shannon. She accepted me. Kelly."
"I'm sorry that I hurt my brother. I didn't mean to."
"How did you hurt him?" Juliette asked.
"I hit him with a lamp. He scared me." Kelly replied.
"How did he scare you?" Peter asked.
"He..." Kelly wanted to tell him but couldn't. "He just came in so quietly and I wasn't expecting him."
"Ok today is going to be a shorter group. You can all go and hang out before dinner." Peter said ending the group.
"Kel. Wait up," Ezra called trying to catch up with her as she walked out of the lodge.
"Its ok Ezra. I didn't want to talk to you," Daisy said under her breath. Shelby heard her though.
"Do you want to talk?" Shelby asked.
"No. I know you want to be with Scott," she replied.
"Ok if you need me I'll be at the docks." Shelby said while grabbing Scott's hand.
Daisy stayed in the lodge with Kat, Auggie, and Juliette. Ezra walked with Kelly to the girls' dorm.
"What's up Ez?" she asked knowing what Ezra wanted to talk about.
"How come you didn't tell me about hitting John?"
"I don't know. I didn't think it was that important."
"How come you're hiding things from me? You used to tell me everything," he said frustrated.
"How do you know I told you everything? Damn it Ezra. If I want to tell you why I'm here then I'll tell you. Until then lay off." Kelly said storming out.
Kelly joined the others in the lodge. They could tell she was mad.
"Daisy tell your boyfriend to stop pushing," Kelly said still angry.
"I tried to before," Daisy replied.
Ezra walked into the lodge. Kelly glared at him. He took a seat next to Daisy.
"What did I do?" he asked Daisy.
"You're pushing her. If you keep pushing you're going to push her away from you."
"Thanks," he said kissing her on the cheek.
"Thanks for what?"
"Being cool about me hanging out with Kel."
"Don't mention it."
Back at Peter's office, Peter and Sophie were talking.
"I think we may have found something with Kelly in group today," Peter said.
"What do you mean?" Sophie asked.
"Did you hear how she said she was scared by him?"
"Are you thinking that her brother molested her?"
"Could be."
"I don't know. Hopefully she'll open up."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A/N: Now they know about her hitting John. Are there other things that Kelly never told Ezra? Is Daisy really fine with Ezra spending all this time with Kelly? Keep reading to find out. Thanks again for the reviews. I really appreciate it.
