Bringer of Futures
Chapter 14: Our Last Moments
*****
Thank you ALL for ALL your reviews! This really motivates me to write more. I want to send all my reviewers with a specified e-mail address a personalized thank you letter. Be expecting it sometime soon if you've reviewed already! OH and Yes this does count for you guys too, Cole and Staci!
*****
Scott couldn't think. How could any guy think when his girl was troubled and mad... hating life with her upmost anger. He couldn't stand it any longer.. hearing her sigh and doodle tormented pictures on her notebook. So the second the bell rang Scott jumped up and followed Shelby down to the docks. Shelby was oblivious to this.
*****
Isaac walked into the cafeteria once he got all his books put in his next class and sat down beside his girlfriend, Staci.
"Hey!" He said enthusiastically hoping for the same reaction. All he got was a pair of tear stained eyes looking up at him. This pushed his worry about Staci to the brink. "Woah.. what's wrong?" He asked. Staci sighed.
"It didn't work. All his efforts didn't work.. so now... in exactly and hour and 15 minutes I will be sent back to me demon spawned parents forever..." She said sadly. Isaac's eyes watered up as he realized that he might loose the one person he loved besides his brother forever.
"All of his efforts?" Isaac asked solemnly. Staci nodded.
"There is nothing else he can do.. nothing" She said and got up to take her tray away, ready to start their last moments together.
*****
"Scott.." Shelby said startled. "W-what are you doing here?" She asked. Scott smiled at Shelby.
"I'm worried, okay?" He said getting slightly frustrated. "You keep pushing me away. You wont let me help you when I can. And its like you don't trust me with anything! Tell me if I'm wrong but aren't we supposed to be-"
"Scott" Shelby interrupted.
"-truthful"
"Scott..." Shelby said getting agitated.
"- with"
"SCOTT!"
"EACH OTHER!" He finished with tears in his eyes. "What.." He whispered.
"I cant deal with a relationship right now!" Shelby yelled holding her hands to her ears.
"Are you saying were gonna break up?" He asked finally letting his tears overcome him. Shelby hated to see him like this.
"No.. just take a break" Shelby said, turning her head down.
"Don't do this Shelby... I can help you! You know I can. We've been through the same hell's and I know what your going through" Scott said. He noticed she was sobbing with her head down "Look at me" He said gently. When she didn't he took her chin with his thumb and forefinger and lifted her head up "I can help you.. if you would just let me.." He said with hope in his eyes.
"You try so hard!" Shelby said. This made Scott close his eyes. Tears escaped from his eyes and cascaded down his cheeks. "No one has EVER tried so hard with me.. no one has ever...... loved.. me the way you do.. and I'm grateful." She said Scott opened his eyes just in time for Shelby to cling to him like the little scared girl she used to be. Only this time she was strong.
"Shel.." Scott said pulling away a little.
"We- we-... We can do this together... I don't want to break up with you" She said as she burst into tears and they embraced again.
*****
Isaac, Staci, and the rest of the Cliffhangers, minus Scott and Shelby, stood waiting outside the lodge. These were their final moments together.
"So.. you'll write right?" Staci said trying to be strong.
"Of course" Isaac said.
"And so will we" Juliette piped in. She wasn't spunky today though. They were loosing one of their most fun and coolest newbies. She couldn't be happy for this. No one was. Everyone was showing emotion. Even Daisy. They were all on the verge of tears and Ezra suspected that, if they hadn't already, each of them were going to cry alone tonight. Soon they heard the obnoxious beeping of a truck pulling up the road and Staci smirked.
"Here comes the calvary" She said. This made the rest of the Cliffhangers, Peter and Sophie laugh. The truck got to the front of the admit drop off and stopped. They all walked over to the truck as Staci's dad stepped out.
"Hey, Stac" He said expecting a hug. Staci acted like she didn't see that and went back to hug Peter and Sophie.
"I'm just going to say goodbye to Peter and Sophie" Staci said and walked over to them.
"Well.. I guess this is it. I wont be trouble for you anymore" Staci said and started to walk away.
"Staci" Peter said. Staci turned around. "Never give up hope. Theres always hope" He said.. not realizing how familiar that sounded until he said it.
"I wont" Staci said and walked slowly back to her car. The tires squealed as the car pulled away. Out of breath, Scott and Shelby ran up just in time to see the last remnants of Staci being there... dust.
"Hey.. what the hell?" Katie said in confusion as she popped her head out of the tent to find no clothes waiting for her. She heard a faint echo of laughter and she realized what was happening. "GET BACK HERE WITH MY CLOTHES YOU FREAK!" Katie screamed, slipping back into the clothes she was sleeping in and busting out of the tent in pursuit of the clothes snatcher.
"Oh god this is funny!" Cole screeched once Katie was in sight. He took off running again but soon his fun ended as he tripped and fell into a river. Now Katie was the one laughing.
"YOU STUPID IDIOT!" She yelled witnessing her clothes being soaked in the river along with Cole.
"Uh.." Cole said as he walked out of the river shivering, "Man, the river is cold in the morning." He said smirking.
"Strip down to your skivvies!" Katie yelled. Cole's eyes went wide and Katie elaborated. "You loose my clothes and I take yours. Its a simple as that" She said.
"Why don't you just wear the ones you have on?" Cole asked, confused.
"Wear this? They are SHORTS and a Softball shirt... a sleeveless one at that. Its cold and this wouldn't do jack shit for me... so I take your nice flannel shirt." Katie said. Cole frowned in defeat.
"Just this once" He said as they walked back to the tent and exchanged clothes.
*****
"So..."
"So what?" Staci spit out in fury.
"So how has your time at Horizon been?" Staci's mom asked. Staci looked at them like they were complete idiots for asking her a nice question.
"Are you ok?" Staci asked.
"Yeah we just sobered up.... we are sorry" Her father said.
"Um... ok?" Staci said, confused but happy they changed... or did they?
*****
"ISAAC CALM DOWN!" Peter screamed as he held the boy down.
"Don't you dare say anything about her again! I'll kill you!!!" He screamed at Jason McGarmie. Jason just laughed.
"What are you going to do about it?" Jason asked. This angered Isaac even more.
"This!" He screamed as he wiggled out of Peter's grasps and pounced on Jason again.
"ISAAC!" Peter yelped as he scrambled off the ground and attempted to pull Isaac off of the unsuspecting Jason.
"Don't" *Punch* "Say" *Punch* "That" *Punch* "About" *Punch* "Staci" *Punch* "Again!" *PUNCH* Isaac screamed as Peter successfully pulled him off of Jason's bloody face.
"Jason go get cleaned up and then go
*****
"Why hello Miss. Cole Taylor," Katie said, smirking. Cole just smiled at her. Secretly he sorta liked Katie... and vice versa.
"Oh your reaaaal Funny" Cole said, smirking back at her. Katie laughed as they picked up their left-over food from the night before and packed it up, along with their tent. Soon they were back out on the trail with Sophie following close behind.
"So..?" Cole said trying to start a conversation.
"So...?" Katie mocked in a friendly way.
"I was wondering... do you um.. have a boy- boyfriend back home?" Cole asked. Katie smiled but sorta frowned at the same time.
"Eh.. no" She said. "Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked.
"No.. wish I did though" Cole said.
"So do I" Katie said looking at Cole. Cole stopped walking and looked at Katie.
"Um... do you wanna..?" He asked hoping she got the picture. Katie smirked.
"Go out?" She asked.
"Yeah, if you could call it that in this prison" Cole said. Katie laughed.
"Sure.. so.." She said, uncomfortable.
"Yeah...." He said in the same emotional state. Then it came to Katie...
"Come on.. I have an idea" She said to her newly found boyfriend. Cole looked at Katie like she was crazy but followed her off the trail.

They are delusional! I think they really expect me to forgive them for what they did to me. They are going to have another thing coming. I hate them and that will never change. They need to get out of my hair before I go off on them. It's "Oh, how was your 1st day back at school, Staci?" and "Do you want me to read you a bedtime story, Staci?" What the fuck!? Even regular parents don't read their 14 year old daughters bedtime stories! I think I'm going to blow on them.. murder them if things don't change soon... and I mean very soon.
