Disclaimer: You know it's not mine. If it were, there would be countless other episodes on TV, but as it is... well, you know *tear*. Alright, on with the show.
Author's note: I'm not going to do the R-rated D&D fic, but I'm going to do a D&D fic... eventually. Ooooooooooooooooh... I just got an awesome idea! The fic is gong to be after Horizon. It's not going to skip any years or anything. It'll start immediately after they finish at Horizon. It'll be a little like a sequel to this fic, but it will only concentrate on Daisy and David, who as you all have guessed, end up together at the end of this fic... duh! LOL, I love them both too much to separate them. It's just like with Scott and Shelby, too cute to mess with. Okay, enough of my so-called venting, lol, on with the story. Here it is, enjoy!
"Andrew?" Leonie asked, knocking on the infirmary door. It was Saturday morning, late April.
"Come in," came the reply, so in she went. She was met with Andrew sitting up on his bed, dressed in everyday clothes, with any stuff he'd been using packed up in a bag beside him.
"You going anywhere?" she asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah. After the nurse comes for a final check-up, I'm out of here."
"You're going home?"
"Nah, just back to the boys' dorm," he said. He looked happy, until he realized something and his face fell.
"What is it?" she asked seeing his expression change.
"Do they all still hate me?" he asked, obviously uncomfortable. Lay now looked shook up too.
"Well," she hesitated.
"Just tell me. I'd rather have a heads-up than meet it head on."
"Well, the Rivergliders are still pretty clueless. The only one who'd probably give a shit would be Alexis. She's Jules's half-sister. I don't know if they're close though. The rest don't really know Jules. They'd probably care a little, but would get that it was something from your past that made you do it. The Cliffhangers all still pretty much hate your guts. They all really loved her. They were real close, from what I get out of them when we talk after lights out. The Cliffhanger guys all want you to pay, is what Daisy and Jess tell me. If I were you, I'd watch out for Auggie and Scott. I know we had this talk before, but all the same. From what I found out earlier on, Scott's Jules's ex. But they're still close. Auggie, as you know, is her boyfriend."
"Okay. So I'm gonna have a hard time sleeping in their dorm?" he asked.
"Yeah, probably. Oh, by the way, Shelby's sleeping in there too now."
"Yeah, I know. I think she got there like a day or two before..."
"Yeah I know."
"So that's all I have to worry about?"
"As far as I know," she answered, looking at him. Again, his face had a smile on it. His eyes looked around the room and he remembered something else he'd been thinking about. His eyes fell, as did his expression. "What is it now?"
"Huh? Oh, I was just thinking about something."
"And that would be..."
"Something to worry about."
"Hey, maybe I can help."
"You can, but... Lay, do you hate me?" he asked, looking straight in her eyes.
"Look, I don't hate you! I never did. I understand why you did what you did, but it's just that... Well, I had a friend who was raped. I know how it is. I know you didn't mean it!" she added seeing the expression he was giving her.
"Can you forgive me?"
"Andrew, that's not the thing. With all the things I've been through, I don't know if I'd be able to. Besides I'm not in a position to. Jules has to forgive you."
"I don't really care about Juliette. Hold on, that's not what I meant. I care about her, and I won't ever touch her again, but it's not her opinion that really matters to me."
"Then whose does?" Lay asked, searching for something.
"Yours," he answered quietly, but decidedly all the same.
"Oh, I see. Well, Andrew, I'll be able to look past it-"
"So you forgive me?" he asked. He was so happy that she couldn't say "no," and she didn't mean "no" either way.
"Of course I do!" she said, smiling for the first time in a while. He was so happy that he got up and took her in his arms. He was so warm, she knew he wouldn't hurt her. She could be herself around him, he was a true friend. She just let out what she was feeling, what she had been feeling for a long time behind her front. She just stood there, crying on his shoulder, while he held her.
When the nurse came in to check up on him, Lay had calmed down and was sitting on a chair looking out the window, waiting for Andrew. She was happy to finally have understood him. She got where he was coming from, she got his history now.
********************************************************************************
During their little conversation, Auggie had been sketching at the picnic tables. Jules walked up to him. She had to face him, this wouldn't do, it was starting to mess with her mind. She cared about him so much and couldn't figure out why he'd stopped coming. Maybe he didn't love her anymore after he saw her cuts. But he'd already seen them, when they'd run. Why did he turn away from her now? Was it the fact that she'd slipped? She needed to know!
"Hey Auggie," she said in a voice that had once again become its perky self.
"Oh, hey Jules," he replied, not really noticing her.
"What's wrong? Why won't you talk to me anymore? Why did you stop coming to see me?" she asked, now sounding hurt.
"Jules," he started knowing this conversation was coming eventually, "I stopped coming because you didn't want me there anymore."
"Yes I did! What gave you the idea that I didn't?"
"You're cutting again, Jules! I thought you were over that!" he yelled, closing his sketchbook and putting his pencil away. He focused his entire attention on her now.
"I was."
"But not anymore. You don't trust me, do you?" he asked, putting down his front, and speaking quietly now, which was scarier to Jules than his mad attitude.
"How does trust have anything to do with this?" she asked.
"It has everything to do with it! If you trust me, you'd tell me what was bugging you instead of cutting to get rid of the pain! I thought you knew you could talk to me, I thought you liked me enough to believe in our bond. I thought we were best friends. I guess I was wrong," he said while getting up to leave.
"Auggie wait! Don't walk away from me. I want to talk about this. I do trust you, but I thought you'd hate me if I told you about it."
"I wouldn't hate you, Jules, I can't hate you. Don't you get that? Besides, it's not your fault that little prick did that to you!" Juliette just looked to the side, trying to hide the tears that were forming in her eyes. "You think that's all your fault?" he asked amazed. Juliette just nodded, only slightly. "Why would you..." he looked baffled.
"I didn't stop it. Well I did, but not forcefully enough. He didn't get the message, I didn't walk away fast enough."
"That's not your fault! It's his; he's the one who should've stayed away from you! He's the one who should've kept his hands to himself. Jules, he knows you're my girl, he shouldn't have been going after you in the first place. You weren't the first one either. He went after Shel too. He obviously needs to be told really forcefully because he didn't get it when Shelby said it. He didn't get it when Scott yelled at him. And he didn't get it when you said 'no'. Apparently he needed a beating to get it into his head."
"So I'm still your girl?" she asked in her innocent tone.
"Yeah, but I've got go," with that he just left. He obviously wasn't very happy. Juliette didn't know what this meant. Were they still together? Was he mad at her? Did he want to be with her? She kept crying the entire way back to the dorms.
"Hey Jules, you okay?" Emma asked her when she saw her sister's condition. She didn't answer. She just went straight into the bathroom.
********************************************************************************
"Dais, it's getting close to lights out, is she okay?" Kristen asked about an hour and a half later. Juliette still hadn't left the bathroom. They knew she was still alive by the sobs and pacing that they could hear through the door.
"Yeah, she's fine. Em, go get Peter, he may be interested in this." Emma nodded and left at a jog.
"Do you think she's cutting again?" Peter asked the second he walked in the dorm.
"Nah, first of all, there's nothing that she could cut with, and we didn't hear the mirror break," Daisy answered confidently.
"How come she's in there anyway?"
"Well, I dunno, there are a lot of reasons, Peter," she responded with a smirk. "I mean, it is a bathroom!" Peter gave her a look that said: "no joking about this." "Well, she's probably just avoiding the rest of us. I mean, that's the only reason that she can be alone on campus," she said with a shrug. The others nodded their agreement.
"Jules? You okay?" Peter said into the door, knocking on it. When no answer came, he became more forceful. "Jules! Open up!" still no answer. "Daisy, go get Ezra for me."
"Ezra?" she asked, confused.
"Yeah, you know, to break the lock?" he replied. She nodded and ran out, looking for him. Her first stop was the boys' dorm.
"Daisy? What are you doing here?" Shelby asked. She was sitting on her bed.
"Where are all the guys?"
"Uh, well, Scott went to get me something. Auggie, Ezra, and David went to get changed, they should get back anytime now. And the Riverglider boys are in the showers. Lucky me, Scott and I got the whole bathroom to ourselves first, with Auggie guarding the door," she finished, laughing. She realized that Daisy looked distressed. "What's up?"
"Jules locked herself in the bathroom and I came to get Ezra to pick the lock."
"What? No talented girls?" she asked with a sarcastic smile.
"Apparently not. Where is Ezra?" she yelled as David and Auggie came into the dorm.
"Daisy! I'm insulted, I thought you were done with him," David said, getting angry.
"Oh, god! I'm looking for him to pick the lock in the girls' bathroom, Princess locked herself in there and it's been an hour and a half."
"I can pick locks!" he answered. "It's my specialty!" David continued with a smile on his face.
"Then come along! Bye Shel!" she yelled, taking David's hand and pulling him out the door.
"Bye Dais!" she yelled back to her friend's retreating figure.
********************************************************************************
"Move aside!" David yelled coming into the dorm and going straight to work on the lock.
"What happened to Ezra?" Peter asked.
"Taking too much time. David was available and apparently this is his specialty," Daisy answered with a shrug.
"Alright then," Peter answered. When the door was unlocked, he pushed David aside and opened it. What he saw scared him. "Jules?" he yelled.
"What is it?" Leonie yelled from outside the bathroom.
"She's not here!" he yelled back. Then he saw something and realized what happened. "She ran!"
"What? How?" David asked.
"The window. Daisy, go get Sophie and tell her the story. David, go back to your dorm, and tell the Cliffhangers the story, they'll kill me if I don't tell them. Only them! Emma, go get Roger and bring him here as quick as possible. Now!" he yelled and they all left sprinting.
********************************************************************************
"Shit, this is my fault!" Auggie yelled, punching a nearby tree. David had taken the Cliffhangers outside to report the news.
"Auggie," Shelby began.
"No! Don't start! It's my fault. I know why this happened! I've got to go find her," he said, adding the last part in an undertone to himself. He ran off, leaving the other Cliffhangers there to wonder what on earth he was up to. They were all to smart to mess with Auggie when he was in this mood.
"Don't you run too, man!" Scott yelled after him. He just waved, giving him the okay that he wasn't running.
Why'd I let this happen to her, he wondered as he ran down the road leading to Horizon. As obvious a path as this would seem, Jules hadn't had a lot of planning time. She hadn't taken anything with her, she was just doing it to get away. Away from what? He didn't know. But he knew that this was all just for effect and that she couldn't possibly have gotten very far. Besides, this was his best choice. This was also the way they'd come when they'd run together from Horizon, a long time ago. Finally Juliette's skinny, tall form came into view. He let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Jules!" he yelled. She turned around, her face tear-stricken.
"Auggie," she said, barely audible.
"What are you doing?" he asked, as he came up to her.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" she asked.
"Running?"
"Well, aren't you just Captain Obvious?" she asked. He gave her a hug.
"Don't you ever do that again! Jules, I thought you were okay!" he yelled.
"I'm not okay. Auggie, I cut to get the pain out. I cut so that I don't have to keep it in. When I don't want to deal with it. When you don't want to talk to me, when you want me out of your life, when you're mad at me, that's when I cut."
"Jules, you didn't cut did you?"
"No, I couldn't cut. For one thing, there was nothing to cut with, for another, I'm strong now!" she was crying now.
"Yes, you are strong! I'm so proud of you!" he said, pulling her into a hug. He then looked her in the eye, lifted her head, and gave her a kiss. "Why'd you run?" he asked.
"Well, I couldn't cut, and I needed to get away. I needed to do something, and running was the first thing that came to mind," she said with a soft chuckle.
"Jules, I promise I'm never going to leave you. I promise you, I'm going to stay with you, till the end. I love you, Jules."
"Auggie! I love you too!" she said. "I promise you I won't leave either. I'm in it for the long haul. I really do love you." They kissed once more.
"Uh, Jules, I think we ought to get back. Peter's probably gonna have a stroke! Besides, if you get back fast, they might believe that you didn't run and that you only left the dorm..."
"Nice plan, Auggie. By the way, how'd you know I came this way?" she asked, suddenly very curious.
"Well, I do know you, Jules. This is the way we came when we ran together. And, well, I dunno, I guess I just instantly thought that this is where you ran."
"How'd you know I ran?"
"David. He came to tell the Cliffhangers in the guys' dorm," he answered. And then, knowing her next question, continued. "He went to your dorm to pick the door when Peter couldn't open it. He knew because Daisy told him. That cover your questions?" he finally asked.
"Yeah. Thanks," she answered. They'd been walking all that time, she stopped him and gave him a wonderfully sweet kiss. Finally, all was right in the world, at least for two teens at a school called Mt. Horizon.
