Chapter 10
Lodge
Scott walks in and sees Auggie, Shelby, Daisy and a girl he's never seen before, sitting in chairs studying. Shelby stretches and looks up; her face breaks out into a huge smile and she runs up to Scott who's still in the doorway. She embraces him in a hug; he hesitates then hugs her back.
Shelby: I missed you so much! (Scott smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes.) What's wrong?
Scott: Nothing, I missed you too. (Shelby turns around and sees everyone watching them.)
Shelby: You wanna go for a walk?
Scott: Yeh. (They walk out holding hands.)
Shelby: Scott, why'd you come back early?
Scott: I missed you.
Shelby: Is that the only reason?
Scott: Yeh.
Shelby: Good. (She smiles at him, studying his face. Something's wrong with him. They turn back around when they hear David calling their names from the lodge.)
David: Oy! We got group.
Shelby: Oh joy. (They walk back)
********************************************************************
Group
Cole is sitting in a chair with his arms crossed.
Peter: (to Cole) Why don't you tell the group about yourself. (Cole glares at Peter.)
Cole: Fuck off. (The Cliff-hangers stare at Cole.)
Peter: (Ignoring the comment) Maybe why you're here?
Cole: You fucking know why I'm here, you tell em.
Peter: It would be better coming from you.
Cole: Piss off you wanker.
Peter: (Standing up) Cole, you are here for your own good.
Cole: (Standing up) No I'm not you blind fuck! (David laughs, Cole and Peter look at him, he shrugs at them.)
Cole: (To David) Shut up you dipshit. (David looks down trying to hide his smile.)
***************************************************
Guys' Dorm - Afternoon
Joey is pacing the dorm, his hands shaking from the withdrawal. David, Auggie and Cole walk in.
Joey: (seeing Cole) You got any pills?
Cole: Fuck off.
Joey: (annoyed) Have you got any pills!
Cole: (Standing in front of Joey) No you bum, I don't and if I did, I wouldn't give em to your sorry ass, so piss off you loser. (Joey's face clouds with anger; he slams Cole on the ground, punching him in the face.)
Auggie: Get off him! (Hearing the commotion, Daisy and Ashleigh run in.)
Ashleigh: Joey! Get off him!
(She starts crying as Auggie and David try to get Joey off Cole who is still being smacked in the face. Ashleigh runs up to Joey and pulls his arm, Joey pulls it back, slapping Ashleigh with it in the process, she falls onto the ground, hand on her cheek, crying. Joey turns his head and stands up shocked. Cole gets up while Joey is distracted and runs out. Joey looks at Ashleigh in dread.)
Joey: (Stepping forward) Ash, I'm so sorry. (She starts crying more. He kneels down next to her and reaches for the hand that is on her cheek, she shrinks away.)
Joey: (whispering) Ash, god, I'm so sorry. (He reaches for her hand and she lets him take it away from her face. Joey bites his lip when he sees her already showing bruise.)
Joey: Ash, I won't do it again, I promise. (He sits down next to her and puts his arms around her, she starts sobbing into his shoulder. Joey looks up at the watchful Cliff-hangers and glares at them.)
Daisy: (turning towards the door of the dorm.) Come on. (She ushers them out and closes the door behind them, leaving Joey and Ashleigh on the floor.)
Auggie: (looking around) Crap, where's Cole?
David: Oh shit, Peter's gonna kill us if he runs!
Daisy: We'll check the woods; you two idiots check the road. (They all run off.)
