Chapter 14
Trip on love
The next day - Lodge
Brad has just returned from Peter's office he now has his amp for his electric guitar and acoustic guitar.
Shelby and Daisy are talking in the corner while Brad plays chords on his acoustic guitar. He's pretending not to be listening.
Shelby: I don't know, Scott seems to be moving too fast, I'm afraid it's all gonna fall apart.
Daisy: Do you love him?
Shelby: Yeah, I just don't know, I shouldn't feel like this, but I do. (Trails off.)
Brad: (Unable to resist saying something.) You're afraid.
Shelby: (Confused) What?
Brad: You're afraid of getting hurt, you're vulnerable and that's making you feel uncomfortable.
Shelby: (Not wanting to show her nice side to a stranger.) What would you know, any way it's none of your business, BUTT OUT!
Brad: (Smiling, knowing he's right.) Ok, sorry. (He starts playing a song, Trip on Love by Abra Moore.)
I let my guard down
In a momentary lapse of emotion
And it just slipped out
That we both knew my heart could be broke
(Shelby glares at him and he winks back)
I said something I never intended to say
You stopped laughing
And asked me, "Do you feel alone in that way"
Do you trip on love?
Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone
Do you make it tragic?
If you feel too much
Do you start to panic?
When your word comes out
Do you trip on love?
(Shelby gets up and storms out, reluctantly Daisy follows. Brad smiles and keeps singing and playing.)
I just stood there
Had expected another reaction
Out of thin air
In the strangest sense of satisfaction
Can you tell me?
How you see me somewhere
And if you held me
Would you let me see a part of yourself?
Do you trip on love?
Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone
Do you make it tragic?
When you feel too much
Do you start to panic?
When your word comes out
Do you trip on love?
(Peter who has been watching this, sighs, he can't work out Brad.)

Docks - Afternoon.
Daisy, seeing David sitting all by himself walks up.
Daisy: Hey. (David looks up; he looks very anxious and even scared.)
David: (annoyed.) What do you want?
Daisy: Are you ok?
David: Never been better.
Daisy: (Sitting down next to him.) When's he coming?
David: Who? The General? This afternoon.
Daisy: Mmmm.
David: Mmmm what?
Daisy: Nothing.
David: No, tell me. (Annoyed)
Daisy: Is all that stuff you said true?
David: No, I just made it up to shut up Peter. (Daisy looks at him not sure if he's being sarcastic, David notices this.) Ok course it's bloody true, you think I have that good an imagination.
Daisy: You ok bout your father coming?
David: Yeh, I'm fine. (Daisy looks at him. Thinking *He's such a bad liar*) (seeing Daisy looking at him.) What?
Daisy: I can see right through you.
David: Do you like what you see. (Smiling evilly to hide how much that statement got to him.)
(Daisy shakes her head and lies back. Neither of them says anything, both dreading The General's arrival.)
Please review!
I know it's getting/is crap, but I'll finish it soon.
