Chapter 7
Hey, sorry it took so long for this chapter, I went on a holiday with my folks and the computer was in for repairs.
BTW this story isn't completely about David; other plots will be introduced soon. I just saw Dead Last for the first time yesterday, (I live in Australia.) god its funny.
Please review!
Midnight - David's room
David is lying in bed facing away from the door, his legs up to his chest and arms around his throbbing stomach. He jolts as he hears his door open then lies perfectly still, hoping his father will think he's asleep. David holds his breath as his father walks over to him. Blood begins to trickle down his face again as his father sits down on his bed.
David opens his eyes to see if he can get to his window in time, but his stomach is hurting too much to move. A hand comes down on David's shoulder and he flinches trying to sink into the mattress.
David: (whispering, begging) I'm sorry, I won't do it again. Please.
David turns his head as he hears his name.
David: Shelby? (He turns red with embarrassment. He can't believe he's been so stupid. His father's voice is running through his head, *You're pathetic. You will never amount to anything*)
Shelby: Who you think it was?
David: What are you doing in here? (*I don't know what I did to deserve you. You make me sick.*)
Shelby: Couldn't sleep.
(David turns over, still holding his stomach with one hand.)
Shelby: Are you ok? You've got blood all over your face.
David: I'm fine. (*Show no weakness. Showing emotion is weak. You will never do anything right!*)
(Shelby lies down next to David with her left arm across his shoulder. She falls asleep almost immediately, whereas he lies awake for hours. *You are a failure! You are a failure! You are a failure!*)

Horizon - Morning - Dining room
All the Cliff-hangers, minus David and Shelby are at a table eating breakfast.
Daisy: (to Scott) I dunno what happened, he was arguing with someone then he just hung up on me.
Scott: He and Shel were probably fighting.
Ezra: (trying to get the topic away from David) Hey Daisy, I was thinking, you wanna help me find my parents?
Daisy: You sure you want to find them?
Ezra: Yeh.
Daisy: Why bother? It's not as if you need them, what do parents do any way, besides scar us.
Ezra: I just want to meet them.
Daisy: Sponge money off them you mean.
Ezra: No.
Daisy: Yeh, I'll help, have you asked Peter bout it?
Ezra: Nuh, I just decided this morning.
Daisy: (finishing her food) You wanna go now?
Ezra: (smiling) Sure. (They walk off)
Brad: Oh how obvious. (The rest look at him confused) What are yous slow? Ezra wants to remind Daisy of how good they are together.
Auggie: Nuh, he just wants to find his parents.
Brad: (raising an eyebrow.) Right, sure. (He stands up.) You coming Jules?
Juliette: Yeh. (He follows him)
