In The Best Interest--Peter's Announcement
**Ok, I'll be finishing up this story tonight, GLADLY. I'm also taking a break from writing Higher Ground fics. Not because I'm losing interest, but because I wanna concentrate on my Boy Meets World story "The Mistake" and the novel over @ FictionPress.net called "...And Deliver Us From Evil". I'm gonna try to think of more original storylines after I finish up Facing the Past in a little while. I'm thinking about deleting Denial but I don't know yet. Umm...Whoa this story was exacly (well, it's going to be) 50 chapters and has 130 reviews-more than SOM! yay. hehe...What else? Umm..Oh yeah about the new storylines. I'm going to tRY to stop adding original characters. After FTP, with the exception of Kristin, I'm gonna start doing original, storylines with the original characters. Kristin is staying because I;m 13 and it's hard to write about things w/o a kid being in them, I know that sounds stupid. Enjoy this story and be glad it wasn't like SOM's ending!**
Everyone was gathered into the den. Peter looked around. So much had changed. Sam and Tori had gone. Tori, he believed, couldn't be helped. At least, not with him. She needed someone like her sister. Sam, though...Sam was an amazing kid, but he tried to hide it but acting stupid so he wouldn't open up.
Cole and Katie laughed together on one of the couches. He hadn't had time to reach Katie, yet. She was like Riley and Nikki and Kristin; they hid their pain by acting like it was okay, like there was nothing wrong. But he knew that, like with the others, that wasn't the case.
Nikki, Kristin and Riley were on another couch, laughing about some joke. Both Nikki and Riley still had that sad, distant look in their eyes. But at least.At least now they could get more attention. Nikki had more to her than "the goofy kid that takes ritalin" and Riley was more than the "angry little funny boy" that people percieved them to be. Even if they were to not go to this place, with eachother, he thought that they would be fine together.
Mark, Benji, and Liz also sat together. Benji and Mark were talking about the latest rock music and Liz was listening intently and even talking a little from time to time. Peter knew that Sam's letter had helped Benji believe that not all of the typical pretty-boys were jerks and that it was okay to be himself. Mark wa going to get much more help at the new place.
Liz was a different story. Out of all the kids, Peter knew that she had progressed the most. She was the one least likely to have this comment made about her, but if Peter compared the image of the shy, timid little quiet girl she had came as to the confident, sweet quiet girl now, youcould tell. She may not talk a lot, but she talked about three times as much as she had when she got here.
Sophie smiled at him and squeezed his hand. Only two would remain here after a week...With that thought, he prepared to make his announcement.
"Guys!" he said loudly. The room quieted and everyone turned their attention to Peter and Sophie. "I have something to say. Most likely, you're not going to like it but I think it's for the best."
He paused and thought of his words and decided to be straightforward.
"After a week, you will no longer be going to Mount Horizon. You will be going to a camp about an hour away, north of here."
