"Hello?" "Is Shelby there?" "Who?" "Oh Sorry, wrong number."
After 2 hours, 3 sodas, and 2 homeless people saying 'get out of my house!' Scott had ran out of both change, and numbers. He was down to the last one and had only a dollar in change. "Here goes nothing" he prayed. 'RIIING....RIIING.....RIIIING....." hello this is Shelby Merrick! If you havent already noticed stupid, im not home right now.... but unfourtunatley there are two things you can do... leave a message or try the pool hall... I might be there. I'll call you as soon as I can... now get off the phone and stop running my phone longer then it has to run.
"Ahhha... found her... sounds just like her." Scott smiled and mumbled under his breath. He closed the phone book and looked up at the sky.... "THANK YOU GOD!"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I TOLD YOU ALREADY SONNY" Scott looked out the glass door. "ARRG! Alright I'll get out of your "house"." He pused the door open and walked out of the phone booth and down the street to the local pool hall. "Ive found you now Shelby Merrick and I am never gonna loose you again"

"YES!!! I win... sorry boys you just cant beat the master.. now pay up." "Awww Shelby! Do we have too??" They both said in a pouty voice. "Yeah... now pay up" Shelby said laughing. "Im gonna go get some drinks guys ill be right back" She got up and walked over to the counter. "Two beers and a water" The water was for herself. She didnt want to start drinking. She already had, had enough problems in her past.... and didnt want a drinking problem and be sent to some rehab clinic. There was no Horizon for a 20 year old. She grabbed her drinks and started toward the table.
*******SCOTT'S POV******* There she is... Beautiful as ever. What should I say to her? Maybe I should just make a noise so she would see me. I deffinatly don't want to scare her. *END SCOTTS POV BACK TO 3RD PERSON*
"AHEM" "AHEM" "What the hell ... Mr Wha---" her eyes seemed to pop out of her head.. a tear sneaked out of her eye. "Scott???" Shelby said in a soft voice. "Is that realy you??" He nodded. "Oh Scott, Ive missed you sooo much!!" Shelby screamed and ran up to him and gave him a huge hug. "Hey, Shel. Ive missed you too.
"Whats all that commotion Shelby." Chad said as he walked over to Shelby. "What is this your brother or something?" "No its my boyfriend, Scott, from Horizon... my old school." "...Oh.. I see. Hey Scott. Ive heard alot about you from Shelby. She seemes to love you alot." "Yeah.... I love her alot too."
*******SHELBY'S POV******* When I saw him I didn't know what to think! He hasnt changed a bit in 2 years. He was wearing a brown over shirt unbuttoned with a white muscle shirt under it. And he had on white sorta baggy pants and his hair was still slightly spiked up with a little bit of gel. Oh, how I have missed my Scott. I havent even felt a slight crush on anybody and alwase felt lonely. There are so many cute guys out here and I haven't gone out with a one of them. Hell I haven't even noticed them. All I keep thinking about it Scott. *END SHELBYS POV AND BACK TO 3RD PERSON

Shelby and Scott were sitting on a couch at Shelbys apartment. "The land lord is good and all and he makes sure to change your lock and keys if there is a break in." 'Has some one broken in here?" Scott asked looking at the shiny lock on the door. "Uhhh... yeah while I was gone. I never found out who it was." A look of concern came over Scotts face. Maybe you should go home with me for a couple of nights...."He asked "I dont think your dad would appreciate that." "I think I can change his mind."... "What are you thinking of Scott." "Nothing I just want to talk with him. Here let me see the phone." Shelby handed him the phone.
"Hello?" A sound voice asked. "Hey Skank give the phone to my dad." "Ohh Scotty he should be home any minute now... How bout we have a little chat." No thanks skank I dont wanna talk with my dads 'trophie wife' Ill just call back in 5 minutes.
** 5 Minutes later **
"Hello? A mans voice asked. "Uhh.. hey dad. Wacha doin" "Nothing Im just writing something for tommorow at work." Oh, well I wanted to ask you something." "What" " Well, I was wondering if my friend Shelby could come and stay with us for a while?" "NO!! NOT A CHANCE SCOTT!" "Some one broke into her apartment recently and she is sorta scared. " Shelby looked at Scott. She didnt like being called scared. In alot of peoples opinion she was tough.... tough as a rock. "oh all right Scott she can sleep over but only for a week at the most!" "Cool thanks dad" He hung up. "You can stay..." "Thanks...." she said. "Whats wrong? You have that look in your eye... like you did when Wa---..... Oh, I see. Don't worry about it she wont bother us." Shelby looked relieved.

Shelby hauled her bags into Scott's dad's house. "Wow.... its pretty big" Shelby exclaimed. "Yeah... I dont notice." They walked up the stairs and bumped into Elaine coming out of Scotts room. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM!?!?!?!" Scott hissed. "Nothing Scotty just looking around and seeing if you did your chores today. "I DONT HAVE ANY DAMN CHORES YOU WHORE!!!" Shelby's eyes narrowed... she wanted to jerk Elaines throat out and feed it to her. "Oh Scotty is this your little friend?" "Go to hell whore" Shelby yelled. "Dont you talk to me like that young lady. I can get you both thrown out of this house so fast--" "Hey, whats going on here" Martin yelled. "Nothing dad just taking out the TRASH!!" Martin rolled his eyes. "Just go to your room Scott. And get your friend settled in the guest room." "Ok dad" He gave one last glare at Elaine and took Shelby to the guest room.
"Ok you can put your clothes in the dresser and you have your own bathroom and closet. My room is just down the hall and I will be there if you need me anytime. Here's the tv and remote. The stereo is over there and the fan is over here. I don't think you'll need it tonight though.. It's supposed to storm. It can get cold so the extra blankets are in the closet. Any think else you need?" "No" "Ok then. Remember I'm in the room right next to you'rs now if you need me." "Ok, Scott! Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I've been on my own before without all this stuff." "Ok" Scott walked out of the room. Shelby turned on the tv and turned the lights off. It was 9:30. She soon dozed off to sleep.
center*****/center ******DREAM****** No! Walt don't do that. Please!!! ***END DREAM*** (a/n: I dont wanna get into that...)
Shelby woke up about 12:30 and her face was sweaty and she was thirsty. She walked down stairs and got a glass of water and then jogged back up the stairs. Scott's light was on. 'humm' she thought.. She knocked on the door and turned the door knob and walked in. "God, Not anymore Elaine, I swear-- " "Hey it's just me Scott" Shelby said. Scott removed the pillow off his face and looked at her. "Oh, Sorry I thought you were Elaine. It's around that time" "No just me 'ya dissapointed?" She said jokenly. Scott rolled his eyes. "Yeah right. Well what do you want?" "What, can a girl not come see her boyfriend in the middle of the night.???" "Uh, not when they're in his parents house" Scott kidded. All of a sudden he heard foot steps. "Get in the closet and DON'T come out no matter what.. Shelby I mean it." "OK" She got in the closet. The door opened....
"Scotty the storm is scaring me." "Dammit, Elaine, you have a HUSBAND. That's what he's for." "But I want you Scotty." "No, Elaine, just back off!" "I don't take no for an answer Scotty and you know that." " Oh, Gosh here it goes again" Scott muttered as Elaine climbed into bed with him.
**IN the closet Shelbys POV** How can I take this. I used to go through this stuff and all I begged for was my mom to come it to catch him in the act. So this is what Scott needs. Just as she was about to come bursting out of the door she had a flash back.
centerb*FLASHBACK*/b/center
iA 15 year old Shelby was sitting on her bed doing her homework for once. The door opened and Walt strolled in. "Ahh nice day isnt it Shel?" "Yeah just perfect" She said sarcasticaly "Well, you know what I want so put your books away. She did and was used to it. "Can you just go away for once?" "You know I cant do that hun." "Dont call me that" "What, hun?" "Just shut up and leave" "No.. I won't now give it to me." Walt came over and unbuttoned his shirt and unzipped his pants. He did it. Afterwards when he left Shelby and she broke into tears. She never liked to cry infront of any one... even if it was Walt. 2 months later she went to Horizon./i
centerb END FLASHBACK/b/center
"Shelby!" "Huh" Scott was hovering over her. "She's asleep. Now go before she wakes up" Shelby just nodded and silently went back to the guest room. And Scott went and layed down on the floor. 'Gosh, I wonder what she thinks of her Scott now?' He thought.
