CHAPTER 8

Peter glanced at the teens and stopped on Daisy.

P : Daisy I asked Scott, not you.

Sc : I love her, are you happy now ?

P : Happy to know at least you can love someone.

Sc : Of course I can.

P : What is worrying you so much about Shelby ?

Sc : Nothing.

P : Well it doesn't seem that way.

Sc : I told you she weren't feeling that good and I wished I stayed with her.

P : She said she just needed to sleep so everything's fine.

Sc : Yeah I know but…

P : But what Scott ?

Sc : Um, nothing.

Peter knew Scott wasn't going to open himself and talk about it. He could just be sure there was definitely something happening to those kids. Both were acting strange for a few days. He couldn't force them to speak. They seemed nervous enough to know Peter and Sophie noticed there was something.

P : Okay. Your turn Juliette.

J : Except here I've never went for a walk in the woods before so I don't have anything to share with you guys, sorry.

P : That's ok. Tell us how it feels to be here with us and the last time we all came here.

J : Well last time Shelby wasn't sick so she was here with us and…

Scott was bored everyone was always talking about Shelby. He felt like he couldn't keep the secret forever. It was too much for him but he and Shelby weren't ready to speak about it yet. Of course they knew they'll have to cause at some time they will notice the changes on Shelby if they keep the baby, which wasn't decided yet.

Sc : She was with us and so what ? What do you mean Juliette ?

P : Please pick another tone to speak with.

Sc (yelling) : No. Why is everybody always talking about us ? Why us ? There's also Daisy and Ezra and Juliette and Auggie so why the two of us ?

P : Scott calm down.

Sc : NO !

Scott stood up and began running away.

D :Well, it seems like group is over for now.

J : Shut up Daisy, this is serious.

P : Oh yeah this is, he said standing up. Listen up, I'm coming after Scott and you stay here !

E : Sure.

P : I trust all of you so don't make me regret it.

Peter ran after Scott and left his talky there with the others.

P : Scott come over here and let's talk.

Sc : Hell no ! Leave me alone !

P : You know I can't do that Scott.

Sc : Go away.!

Peter couldn't see Scott but he kept running after him. He knew Scott was fast but Peter wasn't that slow either.

During that time the others were still sitting on the grass.

D : Great we're here in the middle of nowhere.

A : Stop it Daisy you're begining to talk like Shelby.

D : Real funny !

E : Seriously what's going on with Scott and Shelby.

J : Nobody seems to know.

A : But you girls are in the same room…

J : So what ?

D : Do you think that means we know something more than you guys ?

E : Well, maybe.

J : No I didn't notice anything what about you Daisy ?

D : Nothing either. Well what are we gonna do now ? Don't wanna be sitting here forever.

J : They'll come back soon.

D : How can you know ?

J : Just a feeling.

D (smiling) : God knows how good your feelings are.

J : Well what can we do.

A : A little game ?

E : Tell us more.

D : It's called "Truth or Dare".

J : Oh no.

A : Come on Juliette it'll be fun !

J : If you say so.

D : I'm wondering why Peter who always want us to share memories and truth never thought about this game.

A : Don't know. I'll tell him next time.

D : Sure. Who starts ?

J : What about you Daisy ?

D : Oh, okay. Whose got a question for me ?

J : I do.

D : Ok, let's hear it.

A : No, first you have to choose truth or dare.

D : Right I almost forgot. Um, truth.

J : Ok. Here's my question : have you and Ezra already had sex.

D : Stupid question.

A : No, you have to answer it.

D : Um…

Peter's talky began ringing. Daisy seemed relieved.

J : Saved by the bell Daisy but I won't forget my question till next time.

D : If you say so.

A : Maybe someone should get the talky and see what's going on. Maybe it's about Shelby…

J : I'll get it.

Juliette took the talky and spoke to Sophie. As it is a talky everyone could listen to everyone speaking on both side of it.

So : Is Peter there…

J : Sophie is Shelby all right ?

So : Juliette is that you ?

J : Yeah.

So : Where's Peter.

J : He ran after Scott.

So : What happened ?

J : Long story. Let's say we stopped walking to have group and Scott was thinking about Shelby. Peter asked him what was on his mind and he ran away when we were asking about Shelby. He got angry and that's why he left. Peter told us to stay here and he's been running after Scott since then. He forgot to take the talky with him.

So : Did it happen a long time ago ? I mean how long have you been alone ?

A : Don't worry Sophie we're not planning to go away.

So (smiling) : That's a good thing.

D : How could we go somewhere when we're in the middle of nowhere.

E : Yeah, it's nowhere land here.

So : I'll send you someone to bring you back.

A : There's no need Sophie, we were beginning to have fun.

So : So Juliette what happened ?

J : I just told you.

So : Okay. I'll send you someone and you'll be back soon.

J : Thanks Sophie. Um, how is Shelby doing ?

So : Good.

J : Great.

Sophie asked someone to go find the cliffhangers in the woods and bring them back in Mt Horizon. Peter was still running after Scott when he suddenly heard a noise. "What was that" he told himself. Then he heard another noise. A sort of scream. He didn't know where it was coming from and if it was Scott.

P : Scott where are you ? You're all right ?
