I know I said this was going to be the last chapter, but I decided to make
the next one the last one, I promise. I'm sorry for not updating in a
while. School has been very busy, plus I have started working again. Please
review and let me know what you think of this chapter.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was the day before break and everyone was bursting to get time away from Horizon and school work. Everyone would be leaving tomorrow for a two week break and then they would return for about a month and then the much feared AND anticipated graduation.
Horizon was on a different school schedule that most other schools in the country. They still had a summer, fall and spring break like all of the other schools, but they also had different breaks in the school year.
The day before break, students could hardly pay attention in class and the teachers knew this, so they just assigned busy work that they thought would be fun to the students.
David still hadn't told any of the other Cliffhangers, besides Cole, that he would not be returning after break. Chances were he wasn't going to tell them, he thought it would be too hard for him. Whenever he worked up enough courage to tell them he always thought 'yeah right, whose gonna miss me?'
Cole on the other hand wanted to tell someone, anyone that what David had told him, but he knew that it was David's place weather or not to tell anymore people.
The last class of the day had let out and everyone was excited. Cole had to go to Peter's office for their session and so he could be checked for any new cuts on his body. Kristen and Katie went back to the girl's dorm, Scott and Shelby went to the docks, Ezra, David, Juliette, Auggie, Daisy and Katherine went to the lodge to just hang out.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Cole walked up to Peter's door and knocked lightly; Peter looked up and said, "Come on in Cole."
Cole walked in, shut the door and their session began. After Peter finished searching Cole, he said "It looks like all that is left are some permanent scars. I'm glad that you are slowly growing out of this phase."
"Thanks," Cole mumbled, "so what are we talking about today?"
"I want to talk to you about you going home." Peter said, as he leaned back in his chair.
"What about it?" Cole asked.
"You are going to be tempted to fall back into your old habits," Peter told Cole, "habits that landed you here at Horizon in the first place. Drugs, alcohol, your friends, and cutting."
"Peter, I'm living with a cop for cryin' out loud." Cole blurted out, getting a little upset that Peter was accusing him of going back to his old ways, "You think that he's gonna let me hang out with my friends, or do drugs and alcohol?"
"Speaking of Brian, how do you feel about living with him?" Peter asked, keeping the topics flowing, getting the answers he wanted.
"I dunno, I mean it's gonna be weird living with a cop." Cole replied.
"Well, you know, you can always call if you have any problems." Peter reassured.
The two of them continued their session; Cole hoped that it would go by fast. Cole still had to pack for his trip home, as usual Cole procrastinated and so he was behind.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Shelby was in Scott's arms and the two of them were cuddling by the docks. They were lucky because at this time of day, there were usually other students at the dock, but not today, they were alone.
"So are you nervous about going back home?" Scott asked as he lightly kissed the top of Shelby's head.
"It's gonna be weird you know, with Jess and my mom, but other than that, it should be a pretty smooth trip," Shelby replied, "what about you. You worried?"
"Nah, my Dad is trying to rebuild our relationship, but at the same time he is still in denial about the whole Elaine incident, so he will avoid me from time to time." Scott replied, embracing Shelby in a hug.
Shelby turned around and faced Scott, looked deep into his eyes and went in for a kiss. At that moment the world around them stopped and there worries and fears about going home seemed to disappear.
*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*
Katie was in the process of packing and telling Kristen what she would be doing while she was home.
Kristen on the other hand was paying no attention to Katie at all. She was too caught up in the letter that she had been writing.
"Hey," Katie said as she smacked Kristen on the leg one of her socks, "you listenen' to me?"
"Huh?" Kristen said, not looking from her letter.
"Watcha writing?" Katie asked as she walked over towards Kristen.
Kristen quickly closed her notebook and turned around to stop Katie, "Oh nothing, just one of Peter's last minute assignments."
"Oh. I will let you get back to your assignment. I know how much Peter's assignments suck." Katie told Kristen as she went back to packing.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Juliette and Auggie sat on the couch both of them in their own separate world, while Ezra and Daisy talked to Katherine about her plans for after her graduation.
"Yeah, of course I'm gonna be scared, but I found a good, small collage that isn't too far away from Horizon, so I can come and visit you guys." Katherine told Ezra and Daisy.
Ezra and Daisy continued to ask Katherine about her plans, when Daisy noticed David who was sitting by himself, just gazing out of the windows.
"Hey, what's up with David?" Daisy asked, motioning for Katherine and Ezra to look over at David.
"I don't know. He's been acting weird since he got out of a meeting with Peter." Ezra informed.
Daisy stood up and walked over towards David. "Hey, what's up?" Daisy asked David, trying to be nice.
"Oh not much," David replied, a little startled by Daisy.
"You okay? It seems that you haven't been yourself that past couple of days." Daisy said, trying to comfort David, trying to get the emotional weight of his back out in the open.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Hey listen, I have to finish packing." David solemnly said as he stood up and left Daisy.
Daisy knew something was seriously wrong with David, she could tell by his emotions and the fact that he had not given her any rude or sarcastic comment.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
The afternoon had gone by fast, much faster than the students had expected the afternoon before break to go by.
Slowly, the students made their ways into the cafeteria for dinner. Scott, Shelby, and Ezra were all already in the cafeteria and eating. Kristen and Katie came in together next, and then finally Katherine, Daisy, Auggie and Julitte came in.
After everyone was finally seated, Kristen asked, "Where's Cole and David?"
"I know that Cole is still packing, but I am not sure about David." Ezra informed.
"Cole not starting to pack until today? What a surprise?" Auggie said, making a joke.
Everyone laughed and then started to talk about their trips back home.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Damn suitcase." Cole said in frustration, trying to fit all the clothes he was going to take home into his suitcase.
His parents had folded his clothes and packed for him when he first came to Horizon. He didn't know how they did it.
After about twenty minutes, Cole had finally got his clothes in his suitcase and had his clothes set out for tomorrow and felt he was all done.
"Now, time to eat." Cole said to himself as he walked towards the door.
*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
As Cole walked outside, he decided to see if he could catch either Peter or Sophie before he went to the cafeteria.
As Cole walked into the lodge, he found it pretty deserted, except for a couple of students. He walked around, but was distracted by a noise from up the stairway where the phone was.
Cole made his way up the winding staircase and found David up there all by himself.
"You know they actually are going to miss you." Cole said, letting David know he was there.
A little startled, David said "Damn. You scared me," then he went back to writing on a piece of paper.
"So what are you writing?" Cole asked David, walking forward a little to see what if he could see.
"Oh nothing," David said, and then he stood up and said, "Hey I have got to finish packing, so I will talk to you after I get done okay. Enjoy the wonderful meal they provide here at wonderful Horizon," trying to add some humor.
David passed Cole and started walking down the stairs but stopped when he heard Cole say, "You can't runaway from this forever."
David thought for a second and then just kept walking. Cole let out a sigh; he had hoped that David would get past the silly idea that no one would miss him and just tell everyone.
^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Cole was too nervous to eat, so he decided to just head out to the equipment shed and get a soccer ball.
There were only three soccer balls here at Horizon, there were a majority of basketballs and footballs though, and soccer wasn't too popular at Horizon. A game was never started up by the students; it was always organized by the staff.
Cole grabbed a soccer ball and went to see if he still what he had when he was back at home. He started off with some basic dribbling back and forth.
Slowly he started to move onto different things, he went on to doing dribbling and then turns, and next he started to try to see if he could still do some of the tricks that he used to be able to do.
He was able to remember how to do the rainbow, which was where he put the ball between his feet then kick it up behind him and cause it to go over his head and land in front of him.
After awhile Scott, Auggie and Shelby came out of the cafeteria and spotted Cole messing around with the soccer ball, so they decided to go see what he was doing.
The three of them walked over to Cole, they could see sweat on Cole's forehead and his hair was a little damp from sweat, they could tell that he had been working hard for awhile.
"Can you do anything worthwhile with that thing?" Scott asked, challenging him to show them something cool.
"Aw, nah man. I haven't done this since before I came here." Cole said, a little shy and embarrassed.
"Oh come on. Just show us one trick." Auggie urged.
"Fine, here goes nothing." Cole said as he moved a little away from Scott, Shelby and Auggie so he could have room and he positioned the ball at his feet to get ready.
Cole started off with a rainbow, bringing the ball over his head. Before the ball hit the ground he let it the top of his foot, which sent it back up in the air. Cole then headed the ball, the ball started to fall to the ground, but Cole let it hit his thigh, then the top of his foot.
Cole had managed to keep juggling the ball for the next 5 minutes, by this time, a crowd had gathered around Cole, including the all of the Cliffhangers, minus David, who were cheering him on.
Peter and Sophie walked out of the cafeteria and heard the cheering, Peter and Sophie both thought that there was a fight happening, they couldn't see what the students were cheering at, so they both rushed over to the crowd.
Peter and Sophie neared the crowd and stopped running, they saw that there was no fight, but they were surprised to see Cole in the center of the crowd. At the same time they were happy that he was getting back into soccer, his mom had told Peter that soccer had been Cole's life before he got into drugs and alcohol.
The two joined the crowd and watched Cole to see how long Cole could keep the ball going.
Cole was starting to get really tired, he started breathing heavily, concentrating on not letting the ball fall. Cole was setting up for his finale, he hit the ball with his thigh and as it fell to the ground, Cole luckily caught it on the top of his foot.
Cole's eyes still focused on the ball, not wanting it to fall on the ground, he called out, "watch out. Gimme an opening," telling the crowd to part so he could do the last part of his trick.
Cole lightly tossed the ball up with his foot and made his leg circle around the ball while it was in air and finally catching the ball again on his foot. The crowd was silent; he then tossed the ball up with his foot again, a little higher giving him room to set up. He turned sideways and as the ball came back down, Cole belted it with his foot causing it to smack into the side of the equipment shed.
Cole bent down and put his hands on his knees and tried to catch his breath, while the crowd erupted with cheers.
Cole breathed heavily and gave a friendly wave to the crowd. After Cole was done the crowd broke up. All that were left were the Cliffhangers. Peter and Sophie had to finish getting things ready for tomorrow.
"Awesome!" Kristen cheered.
"Yeah man, that was awesome." Scott said.
"Now, I'm tired and sweaty. I'm gonna hit the shower and then hit the sack." Cole told everyone.
"This early?" Ezra asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night." Cole told the group.
"What about group? It's in thirty." Juliette informed Cole.
"Crap. Fine, I will take a shower then I will come back for group," Cole told everyone, "I will see you in the lodge in thirty."
Cole waved goodbye and then started jogging back to the dorm with a feeling of happiness in him.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Cole walked into the lodge with his hair wet and in some basketball shorts that he slept in and a tee shirt.
He saw everyone sitting on the couches and chairs, he saw that he was the last one, so he quickly walked over and joined the group.
As Cole sat down, Peter said, "Okay guys, it's gonna be an easy group tonight. Let's start off by going around and saying how we feel about going home."
Peter nodded to Ezra and he said, "Anxious."
Next was Katherine who said, "Excited."
The rest of the Cliffhangers said how they were feeling; Scott, Cole, and Shelby said they were nervous about going home. Auggie said he was eager, Juliette said she was prepared, Daisy said she was unprepared, Kristen and Katie said excited, and David just said he was glad, keeping up his fake wall to keep the Cliffhangers in the dark that he would not be returning.
As the group wound down, Peter gave one of his speeches on how everyone was going to be tempted by old friends, ways, and things that landed them in Horizon in the first place. He told everyone what the consequences would be for doing drugs and alcohol over break and told them most importantly to have fun and be safe and that they could always call if they had any problems.
After group, David got out of the lodge as fast as he could while the other Cliffhangers mingled around the lodge till lights out. Cole went to the dorm and fell into his bed and started to sleep, wondering what it would be like to live with Brian.
