Sophie was wheeled into the emergancy surgery room. Her face had lots of emotions mixed in, kinda like a suicide drink. The thing that stood out from the rest of her emotions was fear. She was scared... she had to admit it. The doctor said there was a slight chance that she wouldn't wake up after the surgery. She was scared for herself and for Peter.

*****

Ok, now what am I supposed to do? Shelby thought over and over again. Scott noticed her nervous look and how she was pacing the room and walked over to comfort her.

"Are you okay, Shelby?" He asked.

"No," She replyed. Scott was confused. She usualy never confessed to her emotions.

"Well...." He asked.

"Its Sophie, and Peter. Its all my fault that they're in this situation!!" She exclaimed, in a frenzy

"NO! Dont say that! This is not your fault. This is... uh..." Scott tryed to think of something other then Shelby to blame.

"See.. you cant even think of something. So it has to be my fault." She said and slumped down in a corner.

"...LIFE! Its lifes fault. You changed something for the better. That is what I hate! You change something and it turns out great! Then you blame yourself for something you didn't know was going to happen! You didn't know this was going to happen, Shel!" Scott reassured her. Shelby smiled at him.

"Thanks for being nice." She said.

"Hey, what are boyfriends for, huh?" Scott said smiling back.

*****

"Hannah! Yo, Hannah!" A boy from the Trailblazers group yelled to a nervous Hannah.

"What Max...." She said in an annoyed voice.

"Well... I just thought you might like to know what I know about Peter." Max said.

"What about him!?" Hannah asked, jerking her head up. Max smiled evily.

"Ohhh... nothing...." Max said, walking off. Hannah slammed her head on the table.

'Mental note to self: Don't snap at students... may need info some day.' Hannah thought.

Shelby had stayed behind when the other Cliffhanger girls went off to a soccer game. They had to get their minds off of the situation so they chose sports to do it for them. Shelby, however, decided that she wanted to revel on it for a while. After all she still thought it was her fault. She just didn't want Scott to worry so she told him she felt better.

After a while it started to get hot and stuffy so Shelby decided to go outside for a while. She propped herself up on the picnick table and was about to doze off when some annoying voice interupted her sleep.

"Hi...."

"Whaaaaat?" Shelby asked in an annoyed voice.

"Why does everyone seem to think im annoying today?" Max asked.

"Maybe cause uh... you are annoying!"

"Ok then... I guess I'll just go ahead and tell Hannah about what you did then...." Max trailed off as he turned slowly to walk away. Shelby, being dysfunctional, wanted to know what he ment.. so she asked him, of course.

"What the hell do you mean?!" She yelled at him. Max smirked and chuckled silently knowing his plan was going exactly the way he had planned.

"Well.. it's just that I know about you- know- what!" He said, thinking she knew what he meant.

"What?!" Shelby was truely confused... his description was.. vague, if you could call it even that.

"You know about Peter's "Accident"" Max said, putting emphasis on the word Accident. Shelby's jaw tightened. She grabbed Max by the collar and shook him.

"What the hell do you know?!!!" She yelled.

"Enough to bust you for attempted murder." He said. Shelby went crazy. What murder. She didn't murder, or attempt to murder anyone. Especially not Peter.

"I didn't do shit!" She screamed. Max was confused now. Had he heard wrong. He reflected back to the day where she talked to Scott.

*Flashback/ Reflecting thingy*

"Do you know anything abou this?" Scott whispered to Shelby.

"No- I mean... oh.. man! This is all my fault.. I caused this!" She said stepping back.

"Come on Shell... you didn't know this was going to happen, did you?" Scott asked.

"No.. but I caused it" She said and ran out of the room in search of Peter.

Scott ran over to Hannah to tell her what had just happened.

*End Flashback/ Reflecting thingy*

'No, I'm right...' Max thought to himself. 'Shelby did say it was her fault and I'm going to get something out of this.'

"You said you were responsible for Peters dissapearance. And if you were responsible for that, you are responsible for Peters untimely accident." Max said to a spazing Shelby.

"You little- I meant it was- I- I dont know what I meant." Shelby said, highly confused. Max laughed.

"Well, you'd better figure out what you meant along with 5,000 dollars or I will tell Hannah and your ass will be on fire. Have a nice day." He said, smirking. He then walked away, leaving Shelby stunned and wondering where SHE was going to get 5,000 dollars.

*****

The surgery was done. But was it succesful? That was what was running through several doctors minds as they waited for the Anisthetic to wear off. Meahwhile, Jeff, Roger, and Hannah were all anxious about the news as well. They had all noticed the weird behavior of the Cliffhangers but Shelby the most. She had avoided any event that would make her socialize with any other Cliffhanger. She had that look in her eyes that she had when she first got there.

*Flashback/ Shelby's*

"Riiing Riiing" It was ringing... home... she missed her mother and her sister, Jess to a point where it hurt... only this call wasn't good. She had forgotten the worst part about traveling back in time, if you could call it that. Him.

"Hello?" A gruffy male voice asked. Shelby still had no clue. Who was this? Another one of moms boyfriends?

"Who is this?" She asked. She heard a chuckle from the other line.

"Oh, Kitten.. Dont say youve forgotten about me already?!" He said.

"No.... you cant still be there?! Shit I forgot!" She yelled into the reciever. "I need to talk to mom." Shelby said and the phone was handed over to Alice, Shelby's mom.

"Mom, I need some money." She blurted out. A long pause.

"What for now, Shelby?" Alice asked.

"Uhm.... I have something to pay off..." She said, hoping her mom would buy it. She didn't.

"No, what is it?" Alice asked.

"I cant realy tell you... you just have to trust me." She said.

"No... if you cant tell me then I cant pay." Alice said.

"Mom.." Shelby started but Alice broke in.

"Look, mothers day is coming up and I will come up to see you. The whole family." Before Shelby could protest her mother hung up and Shelby slammed the reciever down.

"Son of a mother!" She yelled.
