Shaye ran, she ran as fast as her little legs would allow her. There was no way she was going to hang around outside Peter's door while he read that. But then she stopped suddenly on the porch of the admin building. She stopped, dead in her tracks.

"Why should I continue to run when not 10 seconds after he finishes reading the letter he will be knocking down the girls dorm?" She questioned herself.

She figured that no matter what, Peter would've read that letter now?she can't go back and change the past. And there is no use in waking up all the other girls to witness the yelling and the talks that she presumed would follow. So she sat on the steps and waited. Waited for the madness to begin.

"Peter im hurting, im in pain. I lied. I need help. Please Peter. Please." Peter finished. Tears were beginning to well in his eyes. He had never felt this much for one of his students. Knowing this he felt sadness in his heart, wondering if he's the right person to even continue with this job. He can't help her. And he knows that.

"I have to at least try" He told himself and rang Sophie.

"Sophie"

"Peter, what's wrong?" Sophie questioned after all she was sound asleep at their house.

"I just read something Shaye left me. I need you here Soph, I need help with this. She's hurting real bad. We both need to be there."

"Wow that must've been some powerful letter." Sophie responded.

"It was, I think you should come up here and read it, then we can decide on the best course of action."

"Sure Peter I will be up there in half hour."

"Sophie I think maybe we should call her mother again."

"Peter lets not discuss this now, we can talk when I arrive okay?"

"Yeah, I'll wait outside the admin building for you."

"Love you, I'll see you soon."

click both phones hung up.

Peter started to walk outside..he needed to clear his head before Sophie got there. Letter in hand.

He walked out the door and leaned over the railing, not even noticing the girl sitting on the stairs beside him.

"Please, I don't know what to do. It hurts me to see her hurting this bad, please tell me what to do" Peter softly said to himself looking up at the sky. His mother always helped him out, always told him great advice. Peter knew that he could always look up into the sky and talk to her. So he did.

What he didn't know was that Shaye heard him, and she felt awful.

She breathed in heavy, tears falling freely from her eyes. She had to say something; she didn't want to hurt anyone else except herself. Nobody else deserves to hurt, only her.

"Peter" She spoke barely audible.

Peter looked down to where the voice came from and saw her sitting there looking up to him with tears in her eyes.

"Oh sweetie" Peter quickly went over and hugged her.

Shaye practically jumped into Peter's arms. She needed that. She never had a hug from a father figure. And that's what she thought of of Peter. A father figure. One whom she could turn to if she could make herself speak.

"I didn't know you were here" Peter spoke finally.

"I?I had nowhere else to go."

Peter lifted her chin and looked her in the eyes.

"Come on baby, let's go into my office to talk. Your not alone, im here, Sophie's on her way. Were not going to let you fall. Were here to be the fence you can lean on. Were here, and we are going to help. We are going to fight this and beat this battle. Together."

They both silently got up and walked into Peter's office. Normally Shaye would have protested, but she was tired of fighting the same battle over and over again. She knew she needed help and she knew she could get it from Peter and Sophie. She knew that if she were willing she would get better. And perhaps for once in her life smile and have it be real, maybe for once in her life she could actually be happy. She would never know unless she tried. Hand in hand Peter led her into his office. Where maybe for once, Shaye would be able to breath again.

A/N And that's it. Finished.Thanks for reading everyone!! It meant so much. -Shaye
