*****

Before I got back Shelby talked to Scott.

"He came here Scott." Shelby said dryly.

"Who... oh.... OH! That ba- UGGHHH!" He fumbled with his words.

" Yeah and the reason why is cause he is Katie's FATHER!" She yelled.

"Well when they arrive back I will be waiting for them."

"Scott? What are you gonna do? Don't do anything stupid. Like killing him Just "Play" with him if you know what I mean. Like re-arranging his face and making sure he doesn't walk again would be fine and dandy with me." She said through clenched teeth.

*****

I got out of the car and ran back to the dorms. I slammed the door and jumped on my bed. I stared at the celing for a while until I heard people chanting.

"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!" There were like 20 people gathered around what looked like 2 men. Once I got closer to the fight I realised who they were and Smirked. I got up to the front of the circle and laughed. Then yelled.

"GO SCOTT!!!" I screamed. Scott hit my father once in the face. That was all it took for his nose to bleed. Walt stood back up and dusted his self off. He glared at Scott and then charged toward him. Mid ways his hand shot up to his chest and he fell to the groud.

If it were any other person I would have helped. But being the "Dysfunctional" teen, that I was I decided to let him suffer. Peter walked out of his office and ran over to the circle. Scott was standing there screaming at Walt.

"What are you??? WEAK!" Then Walt passed out.

*****

Walt was taken to the hospital and I tryed my hardest to interfere with the medics work. I wanted him to die for what he had done. However, I was succesfully pulled away by Peter and locked in his office. He still hadn't gotten a locksmith to fix his lock from when Shelby busted in but I didn't know that. Walt was also succesfuly treated and sent to the hospital still in critical condition... that at least was to my advantage.

*****

Peter walked in a half an hour later and shooed me off to my dorm. I ran in and was suprised to see that Shelby was the only one there. I decided not to talk to her because she might be mad at me. I layed down on my bed and listened to my Linkin Park CD.

About 3 songs later I felt my headphones being jerked off my head.

"HEY!" I exclaimed.

"Hey what!" Shelby yelled. "I dont realy want to talk to you because I am mad at you but I will. I want to say that I dont know if I can be your friend or anything."

"Why?" I asked. I knew perfectly well why but I wanted to hear it from her.

"Dont act stupid. I know that you aren't. You know why!"

"Come on. Its not my fault who I was born to!"

"Well you should have listened to Peter when he tryed to get you away from him!"

"I DIDNT KNOW! Since were blaming people here I blame you for not telling me! I didn't know who he was. And for your information when I found out I let my fist meet his face and then I ordered him to bring me imediately back to Horizon. I told him never to contact me again." Shelby seemed to think about what I said. I wasn't prepared for what came next. This was just weird. I didn't think she knew how to SAY these next two words but she did. At least she never said them to me.

"... I-I'm Sorry." She said and smiled at me.

"You don't have to be sorry. How bout we just go to dinner. I'm starved. I missed lunch for the fight. And a damn good one that was!" I said. Shelby laughed and we strolled off to dinner.

*****

At dinner Peter came up to Shelby and told her that Walt died in the hospital. She jumped up.

"YEAH!!" She screamed. All of the students eating dinner looked up at her. "Oh.. some one just died." She finished telling the room.

She heard some one say 'huh?' and Shelby realized what she had just said. "Never mind." They all turned around and went back to eating.

*****

After dinner Peter walked up to Cole with a frown. He looked like he was about to tell a inocent man that he was about to be sent to the electric chair. He made some noise so as not to startle Cole. Cole turned around and smiled at Peter.

"Hey whats up, Peter. Do ya need something?"

"Uh... yeah Cole. I have some bad news. Why dont you come to my office and we can talk.

"No. Nothing can be more important then this here soccer game. I mean were up by 10!" He said smirking at Scott who was on the other team. Scott stuck his tounge out and got back to the game.

"Fine, but this was your choise. Um Cole..."

"WHAT!!!?!?!?! I wanna know."

"Your sister Rachel... um... well bud...-"

"Spit it out!" He said getting anxious.

"She killed herself this morning, Cole. She slit her wrists." Peter said. Cole's eyes were wider then anime men's eyes. He was speechless.

"I-I have to sit down.... this is too hard. I-I.." He trailed off.

"I understand. Why dont we get back to the dorms and let you sleep on it." Peter offered.

"O-Okay."

*****

Cole driffted off to sleep after a while of staring at the celing. Peter wanted to stay until he got to sleep and Cole let him. He was crying inside but couldn't let his feelings out. He absolutely could NOT let his 'you cant break me' front down.

*DREAM/ SONG FIC **= dream ~~= song *

~~Well I just heard the news today

It seems my life is going to change~~

** Cole is walking through a field full of grass when he see's his sister sitting in the tree. **

~~I closed my eyes, begin to pray~~

** "Oh PLEASE don't let this be a dream!" Cole said outload.

"It is, Cole. But this is the only way I can talk to you." Rachel said in return. Cole hung his head.

"WHY!?" He lashed out, and slammed his hand into the tree. It started bleeding.

"I'm gone. But I can talk to you in your sleep. Don't worry, I'll protect you." Rachel said.**

~~Then tears of joy stream down my face~~

**"Why did you have to do that?" Cole demanded.

"You'll learn in time. I left you a note. In our secret hiding place where we would go to hide. Just look there."

Cole ran over to give Rachel a hug. He missed her so much.

" I promise to read the letter, Staci" he said while hugging her. Rachel pulled back from the hug with a serious look on her face.**

~~With arms wide open

Under the sunlight

Welcome to this place~~

**"It's not what you think, Cole. When you go back for my funeral, steer clear of daddy."

"Why?"**

~~I'll show you everything~~

**"THE LETTER, COLE! Don't ask questions. The letter will explain everything." Rachel replyed hastily.**

~~With arms wide open Well I don't know if I'm ready

To be the man I have to be~~

** "I have to go now, Cole. I have to go back. Just read the letter. I left it for you.

"But I cant live without you!!!" Cole screamed. **

~~I'll take a breath, take her by my side~~

**"I'll always be with you, Cole. Just trust me. Whenever your down I'll be with you. I have to go." Rachel said**

~~We stand in awe, we've created life With arms wide open

Under the sunlight

Welcome to this place

I'll show you everything~~

**Cole nodded his head. He was confused. In his heart, he knew exactly what to do. He just didn't know that yet.**

~~With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open~~

** Cole thought about his life and knew that things would never be the same. He still had his sister though... in his dreams.. but it's better then nothing.**

~~If I had just one wish

Only one demand I hope he's not like me

I hope he understands~~

**Rachel wanted Cole to understand. She knew what he was thinking. She knew what he wanted to do... to be with her. But she knew that he wouldn't do it. Never.**

~~That he can take this life

And hold it by the hand

And he can greet the world

With arms wide open...~~

**END DREAM/ SONG FIC**

Cole jerked up in a cold sweat late next morning. He looked down at his hand. It was bleeding. He then knew that, that dream wasn't a normal one.

"Letter... RACHEL'S LETTER!!" Cole yelled.

"Speaking of your sister, the next time you see her tell her she's stupid"

Cole looked around at who said that. It was David.

"W-What did you say?!?!" Cole snapped

"Oh, wait! You cant see her anymore. She killed herself." David said.

"Y-You don't know anything!" Cole screamed and jumped up and ran out of the dorm.

David ran after Cole knowing that he had found a weak spot. He caught up with him outside the girls dorms.

"Yeah I do. I know that your stupid if you kill yourself. That now makes your sister REALY stupid." David said smirking.

Cole slammed his, already bleeding fist into the girls' dorm window.

"I TOLD YOU!!! YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING!" Cole screamed. He then pounced on David and punched him harder then he had ever punched any one before. Peter came out and pulled Cole off of David. Cole wanted to release his anger on some one and so he punched Peter in the gut. Then he punched him in the face.

Scott and Auggie were watching what was happening and ran and drug Cole off of Peter. David had moved far back. If he was beating Peter up pretty bad..there was no telling what Cole would do to him.

Scott and Auggie succesfully calmed Cole down. Peter wiped the sweat off of his face. None of the punches Cole hit him with did any damage. Peter looked at Cole, not with an angry face but with a forgiving one.

"Now, I'm not gonna punish you for this fight because of the circumstances. David did (glares at David) nagg it on. Much like other fights. David go to the dorm and don't come out until I come to give you your punishment. I am, however, gonna make you clean up that glass inside the girls dorm." Peter said. "If you EVER do anything like this ever again I am gonna leave the punishment up to Frank." He finished.

"OUCH!" Scott said. "You don't want that. Frank ran me all over campus once. I was his dog for a day. What I did wasn't as bad as beating up Peter. If that was bad... there's no telling what he will do to you. I'd steer clear of fighting." He finished.

"Thanks, Scott. Now you can go back to class. " Peter said. Scott and Auggie went back to class, while Cole went into the girls, empty dorm, to clean up the glass. Peter left to go moniter any one who decided to 'tour the campus' during class hours.

*****

Most of the glass was minute and was extremely hard to pick up. He must have hit the window pretty hard. Good thing Peter hadn't seen his hand. He would have been sitting in the nurses station right now for nothing. His hand was all swollen and bruised. Not to mention the blood dripping off of it. He told himself to be tough about the numbing pain so he got back to cleaning up the glass.

Later on, about 5 minutes later, Cole looked around the girls dorm to see if he missed any pieces. In fact he had. There was this massive piece sitting next to my bed. He strolled over to the piece and picked it up. He held the clear object up to his face and examined it. A thought then popped into his head. He wanted to be with his sister bad, and he'd go to the extreame to do that. Cole, then brought the glass down to his wrist.

"The letter. I have to read the letter. I cant break my promise. I-I..." He trailed off and pulled the glass away from his wrist. He threw it to the ground and it shattered. He walked away without looking back. Cole then figured it all out. Rachel knew something that he didn't and the letter was going to explain everything. He sprinted off to Peter's office
