Learning To Trust Ch. 2

Authors note: aight aight. I know I haven't created a chapter 4 this story in ages. But if u guys r still interested in it I promise 2 update as soon as I possibly can. So here's chapter 2 of learning to trust. Don't own any original higher ground characters. But I do own Justine.

Last line: Shelby: oh my god! (Then she runs over to Justine and hugs her)

Justine: what are you doing here? I thought you were back in L.A. where I left you.

Shelby: I could ask you the same thing I didn't know you were Peter's daughter. Heck I didn't even know you were part white. You look so different with your hair dyed blonde. What are you tryin to do be me or something.

Justine: (she laughs a little) to be you I would have to have a whole lot of attitude and be the biggest bitch around.

Juliete: (chiming in) finally someone who agrees with me.

Shelby: shut it prince (as Shelby was about to say Peter interrupts)

Peter: wait a minute when were you ever in L.A.? You were suppose to be in New York with your mom.

Justine: Yea well you were suppose to be a father too, but as you can see that never happened either. (she shot back in a rude way) I think the only good thing you ever did for me was you stayin out of my life. So why don't you go back to doin that and stop tryin to play daddy. (then she runs off angry and upset. The rest of the cliffhangers are still in shock from how Shelby knew Justine and were also confused with how Justine could possibly be Peters daughter when all her features resembled a Latina. When as you could definitely see Peter wasn't and neither was Chloe his ex wife. So who was Justine's mother? The only cliffhanger who even moved was Shelby who ran after her distraught friend)

Shelby: Justine! Justine wait up! (Shelby finally caught up to her halfway through the woods when she slowed down and began sobbing openly.) Justine whats going on? I didn't know you were from New York and I didn't even know you had a mom. You told me she died when you were 7 and that you were a foster kid that just couldn't take it anymore so u went to live on your own.

Justine: (between the sobs) Shelby you don't understand I pretty much am alone in this world. The only person I ever really had and known to love me was you. And that happened by chance when we were both looking for a way to make money. You know turning tricks. You see my mom was never around she always left to go out of town on business or to be with one of her many boyfriends. So she would leave me with my grand parents who were the worst people in the world.

Shelby: (hugging her friend tryin to comfort her) what did they do? Did the hurt you? Beat you what you know you can tell me.

Justine: Lets just say they made me keep secrets the way Walt made you keep his. They had power over me in the worse way. I couldn't take it anymore so I had to leave. Remember the day I left L.a. Shelby: yea. You said you were going to visit your cousins for a little to see if we could stay with them. Then you didn't come back. I thought you abandoned me. Forgot about me (she says with a sad, hurtful, and angry tone a voice and expression on her face.)

Justine: well on my way to the bus station my mom spotted me and took me back home with her. After that things just got worse from there. And now I'm here cause dearest mommy couldn't handle her "wild child."

Shelby: so you didn't forget bout me

Justine: Shel I could never forget about you. You were my best friend. My only friend.

(Shelby and Justine just sat there for a while in silence hugging and crying happy that the two of them were together again and that they had each other for support. Mean while back at horizon rumors and comments were being spread around about Peter's supposed daughter. None believed that could be Peter's child. Even Sophie was confused. Peter had hid himself in his office to try and escape the gossip and to try and hide the guilt he had for letting down his daughter. As Peter was contemplating what to do about Justine Sophie came into his office.)

Sophie: Peter you can't hide out here all day. You have to face your students and your daughter (she said daughter in a confused way.) One you never told me that you even had a daughter and two it can't be Chloe's so whose is she?

Peter: Sophie it's a long and confusing story in which frankly I don't want to get into right now.

Sophie: try me I have time

Peter: Soph (she interrupts)

Sophie: Peter please. If we are to be married I need to know everything. I mean she would technically be my stepdaughter if she's yours. Peter please I need to know (she says this with puppy dog type eyes.)

Peter: ok here it goes.

OK so how you like that for the second chapter. There will be more drama and surprises to some later on. But I need reviews to know if anyone is reading this and like what you see. So to find out who the mother of Justine really is I need reviews people.
