*****
(Fade in: Teaser: SCOTT and SHELBY are on kitchen duty. SHELBY has a weird, uncomfortable look in her eyes and SCOTT is just SCOTT.)
Shelby: So......
Scott: What do you want, Skank?
Shelby: What's your problem? I say one word to you and you freak. Dammit, Scott, get over yourself for once and you might see that your not the only one with problems! (Storms out of the room. She is highly pissed)
Juliette: What's HER problem? (Hugs onto Scott.)
Scott (Stares as Shelby walks out. Juliette notices)
Juliette: Am I not special anymore? (Scott doesn't answer. He's still shocked at Shelby's outburst) Scott! (This gets Scotts attention)
Scott: What?! (annoyed)
Juliette: Your going to have to choose! Its either me or her?! (Scott looks extremely annoyed.)
Scott: I don't ignore her and notice her ONCE, and you get paranoid. Its like you don't trust me. I haven't seen an ounce of trust in this relationship. I mean come on Juliette!! Every girl that even says hi to me is your enemy! You snarl and chase them away!
Juliette: But...
Scott: But nothing! If this is the way its going to be then I choose her! She may not want me or even like me now but I don't care. I'd rather have someone hate me then not trust me! (Scott runs after Shelby.)
(Fade to Black Fade in: You don't live in a world all alone. Your brother is here too. ~Albert Schweitzer | Fade in to Docks. SHELBY is crying very silently but it is noticeable if your quiet. SCOTT walks up behind her as quiet as he can be. He looks really guilty for snapping at her.)
Scott: I'm sorry. I know I should have said it earlier when I said all that stuff about you. I didn't mean it and I will never say that to such a cool girl again. I know I don't deserve to be forgiven but I sure hope you will think about it. I'm not expecting it. (He started to walk away)
Shelby: Wait.... I forgive you.
**Ohhh.. what if I told you it was all meant to be Would you believe me Would you agree?**
Scott: Really? Am I dreaming?
**Its almost that feeling that we've met before... So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy When I tell you love is who you and I.**
Shelby: No, but I might be dreaming.
**A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever**
Scott: Huh?
Shelby: Forget it. You'll learn later. I need your help.
**For that one special kiss. Oh, I can't believe It's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.**
(They lean in and their lips barely touch when Shelby moves away)
Shelby: We cant.
**Everything changes but beauty remains Something so tender, I cant explain.**
Scott: Why not?
Shelby: Not yet. I don't know.
Scott: Your beautiful.
**Well I may be dreaming, but till I awake Can we make this dream last forever and I'll cherish all the love that we share,**
(Shelby smiles)
Shelby: Thanks, Scott.
**For a moment like this Some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh, I can't believe its happening to me Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this**
(Cut to Lodge: Night. Scott and Shelby are talking)
Scott: Your telling me that you need to save this kid Isaac from killing himself.
Shelby: You don't have to belie-
Scott: I believe you.
**Could this be the greatest love of all? I wanna know that you will touch me when I'm gone. So let me tell you this....**
Shelby: Really?
Scott: Yeah, I believe you.
**Some people wait a lifetime for a moment... Like this some people search a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh I cant believe its happening to me Some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Ohhhhhh... (moment like this) Like this (Moment like this) Ohhh yeah people search forever more yeah. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this Ohhh like this.**
Shelby: Wow. Thanks. Now we gotta save Isaac.... tomorrow though.
Scott: Okay tomorrow. I- I (He's going to say I love you but doesn't mean it yet) I'll see you tomorrow.
Shelby (confused a bit) Okay.
(They leave and walk off toward the dorms.)
(Cut to: Next morning. Scott and Shelby are sitting in the lodge waiting for the two teens that were supposed to arrive that day.)
(Peter is sitting giving ISAAC WILTON a new boy the rules of Horizon)
Peter: There's no drugs, no sex, no inappropriate touching... No violence. You're safe here, Isaac. Your body's safe. Your mind is safe. There's no bull here, Isaac. You feel what you feel. Do you understand that? Well, whenever you feel like talking, whatever you say to me or any other counselor stays between us. You understand that? I promise you that. See, everyone's here to help you, Isaac. The rules help us help you -- learn them and you'll do fine.Okay, I'm going to take you over to the cliffhangers' lodge now, get you settled in. You'll have your physical. Who knows, maybe we'll even talk.
(HANNAH and DAISY are sitting in another room after DAISY washed all her Goth makeup off.)
Hannah: Well, Daisy, that just about covers it. I'm going to have one of our cliffhangers, Shelby, get you settled in. Do you have any questions?
Daisy: Nope.
Hannah: Uh, daisy, would you mind putting the tarot cards aside for a second, please?
Daisy: Are you sure? I think there's something you should know.
Hannah: Thanks, but no. Daisy, you do understand why you're here, right?
Daisy: Certainly -- do you? I mean really? Tell me. I'm a child of alcoholic parents, my mother has lost all maternal instincts and my father, disenchanted with life, is verbally abusive. I'm here because I've become a nuisance to their addiction
Hannah: Do you know why else you're here
Daisy: When my father finally threatened physical abuse, I used one of his golf clubs to set him straight -- a seven iron. Perfect balance of weight and speed.
Hannah: Daisy, you do understand that trying to injure your father was the wrong way to deal?
Daisy: I wanted to off him, and the only reason I didn't... was I didn't think I could cry for the police.
(AUGGIE and EZRA are in the boys dorm. ISAAC is sitting in bed 6 and is not talking to anybody.)
Ezra: He hasn't said a word in two hours, Hannah made me his first-day buddy.
Auggie: I'm gonna let that slide. You know why?
Ezra: Why?
Auggie: 'Cause I'm feeling good. You know why?
Ezra: Why?
Auggie: You ever just feel good for no reason?
Ezra: No.
Auggie: You see, that's your problem.
Ezra: Thanks
(Night ISAAC is sitting on the docks HANNAH comes up)
Hannah: Isaac? Isaac, it's past 11 p.m. You're in violation. Look, I know it's your first day, but one thing you need to understand, we have rules here. That's how we operate.
Isaac: I couldn't sleep.
Hannah: Oh, now you can talk, huh? Well, I'm glad, Isaac, but now's not the time. Now's the time for bed -- that's the rule. Now, why don't you get on back and be glad I don't report this.We can talk all you want tomorrow.
(ISAAC walks back to his dorm. In dorm SCOTT lays awake ready for the right time to bust ISAAC with his drugs to save him. Soon ISAAC goes in the bathroom and looks into the mirror. SCOTT gets up and walks over to the door and opens it. ISAAC is about to take a pill when SCOTT speaks)
Scott: I wouldn't do it. (Isaac looks at him)
Isaac: What do you know? (He starts to pop the pill when Scott takes it out of his hands) HEY!
Scott: Your going to OD man. You cant do this. I mean come on. Do you think we really want you to commit suicide in our bathroom? And then make Frank take us on a Missing Man rafting trip. No. If you want to talk make them talk to you. Don't just give up. Protest and scream and I don't know... let it all out.
Isaac: Um.. ok. I guess I'll go talk to her right now (Getting up and marching out of the room. Pills in hand. He approaches PETERS office and bangs on it loudly. HANNAH answers the door.)
Hannah: Isaa-
Isaac: No, Hannah! Scott told me if I wanna talk that I should make you let me. I wanna talk and I wanna do it now before I take these until I die! (Holds up a bag of Barbiturates Hannah takes them from him with a look of Horror on her face.)
Hannah: I'm sorry. I didn't know you had this on mind.
Isaac: Oh, yeah. I was so eager to tell you that!
Hannah: So this is the first time I see (Looking at a file)
Isaac: No. I've tried 3 times before.
Hannah: But the files...
Isaac: My dad hid them.. I guess so he could get rid of me easier. (look of pain in his eye)
Hannah: Well, I'm glad you stopped yourself.
Isaac: Thank Scott. I would have done it I'm sure if he hadn't have ran in on my and told me to scream and protest when you wouldn't let me talk. (Both smirk)
Hannah: Thanks for coming to me Isaac. I hope now that we've got this cleared up that you will come to me anytime. I mean anytime... just say so.
Isaac: Thanks.
(Cut to: Gazebo. Next day. HANNAH and PETER are talking.)
Hannah: He tried to commit suicide last night.
Peter. Who!? (real confused and angry/excited)
Hannah: Isaac. Scott saved him from it. (holds up the bag of Barbiturates in front of Peters face. The she quickly lowers them remembering Peters former addiction to them)
Peter: Man do I have some thanking to do. You are great Hannah. (They look at each other in complete silence until finally they kiss. There are no kids around.)
Hannah: Um... wow.
Peter: Yeah... wow.
(SOPHIE makes herself clear from behind a stack of wood chips and Peter sees her. HANNAH looks embarrassed. SOPHIE runs away. She runs toward PETERS house and grabs her clothes that are all around his place since she just showed up a couple days before. PETER bursts in)
Peter: I- I I don't know what to say.
Sophie: I really don't care what you say. I'm leaving. And to think you had me thinking of staying here... with you (Says last part looking at him as tears well up in her eyes)
Peter: Please... that was just a-- I don't know.
Sophie: A friendly kiss that lasted for like forever! I don't think so, Peter. I'm going somewhere your not. (Storms out of the room and PETER slumps down on his bed. He picks up a card. And starts reading it. Its a brochure.)
Peter (out loud) Tibet.. wonderful in the late fall when the Tibetan plains are cooled off during the day and heavenly at night. Come and join the late night festivities... Oh no! (He grabs his jacket and rushes out of the door onto his motorcycle. And is gone before you know it)

A/n: So.... yeah the end of my a/n got cut off last time. I REALY WANT REVIEWS!!! PLEASE!?! I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!! Pretty please with Pickles and ranch dressing on top?...
