Chapter 6
While in the car, Shelby was cursing her mother for ever agreeing to marry such an asshole, but in the restaurant her view of him changed, he seemed kind towards her mother and was a gentleman. He made her mother laugh and Shelby was pleased.
She figured David had just pushed his father too far, which she knew David did a lot. She also thought David, when finally telling the group about his father, had exaggerated because David was never serious, so why would that suddenly change.
Shelby was happy her mother had finally found someone decent, but pissed off that she was stuck with David, she would never be able to get rid of him and that really pissed her off.
Shelby was lying on her new bed, they had just arrived back at Robert's house, she still couldn't get used to the fact it was now her house as well. David was in his room and no one had even checked to see if he was alright, frankly Shelby couldn't care less.
Shelby sat up suddenly realising she could call Scott. She walked downstairs and picked up the phone.
Shelby: Hi Peter, can I talk to Scott?
Peter: I'll get Sophie to get him, they've just finished group. You want to speak to Daisy as well?
Shelby: Yeh, sure
Peter: You'll have to be quick; they've had a long day.
Shelby: Ok.
Peter: How's everything going?
Shelby: Bit strange, but good.
Peter: Have you met your mother's fiancée?
Shelby: Yeh, and you'll never believe who it is, David's dad!
Peter: Oh.
Shelby: What?
Peter: Is David there with you?
Shelby: He's in his room.
Peter: Ok. How is he?
Shelby: He's fine, pissing off everyone, the usual.
Peter: Hmm, ok, here's Scott.
Shelby: Thanks.
Scott: Hey.
Shelby: Hi
Scott: Is your mum really dating David's dad!
Shelby: Yeh.
Scott: God, that must suck.
Shelby: It does.
Scott: I gotta go, Peter's busting my ass. I'll put Daisy on, love ya.
Shelby: Yeh, I love you too.
Daisy: Hey, how's things, seriously.
Shelby: It's much better than I thought, it's pretty good.
Daisy: How's David?
Shelby: Why don't you talk to him yourself? (walking up the stairs with the phone.)
Daisy: Ok, put him on.
Shelby: He's being really annoying, he barely talks and when he does it's just crap.
(She doesn't bother knocking on David's door, she just walks in. He is lying face down on his bed.)
Shelby: Oi, David. (He lifts up his head, glaring at her.)
David: Fuck off. (His words are slurred, he's obviously stoned.)
Shelby: Daisy's on the phone. (She hands it to him. He shakes his head, not taking it.) Take it! (He grabs it off her and rolls over to his back. Shelby walks out.)
David: Hi. (Annoyed)
Daisy: Well aren't you a bloody ray of sunshine.
David: Yes I am. What do ya want?
Daisy: Who says I want anything. Are you stoned?
David: (sarcastically) No.
Daisy: (annoyed) Fine, just lay off Shelby, ok.
David: Uhuh, what ever you say. (David, hearing something outside his room, suddenly takes the phone away from his ear, Daisy is still talking. David's door is flung open.)
Robert: (storming in and hitting the phone out of David's hands and across the room.) What are you doing on the phone! Ask before you use it! You can't even do that right! Who were you talking to any way?
David: (Standing up) A friend.
Robert: Are you stoned! (David doesn't say anything.) Answer me!
David: What do you want me to say! (Robert then hits David in the face, sending him into the wall and onto the floor.)
Robert: Do not disrespect me boy.
David: (blood dripping down his face, scared.) Sorry Sir, I won't do it again.
Robert: You're pathetic! (He kicks him in the stomach.) You make me sick! (He picks up the phone and hangs up on Daisy before walking out, leaving David hyperventilating on the floor.)
(David stands up slowly, holding his stomach and coughing; he walks out of his room and into the bathroom, on the way he passes Shelby who is standing outside her room, but neither one of them say anything.)

Horizon
Daisy puts down the phone confused, all she heard was yelling, but she couldn't work out what was being said. She walks back to her dorm, passing Brad who is smoking outside his dorm; she turns back and walks over to Brad.
Daisy: Hey.
Brad: Hey.
Daisy: What are you doing out here?
Brad: Smoking.
Daisy: Yeh, but why.
Brad: Can't get to sleep.
Daisy: Hmmm, happens to most distressed teenagers here.
Brad: I'm not distressed.
Daisy: Sure. You know some people say; the artistic are just tortured souls.
Brad: And some people say we're living in the matrix.
Daisy: We could be.
Brad: And others believe they're a Jedi Knight.
Daisy: (laughing) They could be.
