-----------------------------------------

Thanks again guys for the reviews. In my story Peter and everybody in Horizon already know about what Elaine did to Scott. Only his father doesn't want to believe him and thinks Scott is the one to blame. He also thinks that Elaine is a Saint. Like in the episode "Close Encounters" he had already ran away so Scott's past is the same.

CHAPTER 25

Once they were done with the relaxation they were almost all asleep and Peter helped Sophie to wake them up. They all got up and thanked Sophie for doing that with them.

Peter to Sophie : Was it ok to do that with them ?

So : Yes, it was interesting to see Them obey for once.

P : I can imagine that !

Peter turned to the cliffhangers.

P : Scott you have a minute ?

Sc : Yeah sure.

Scott came near him and Shelby looked at him but knew she'd better stay away. Sophie stayed with her and put her arm on her shoulder to make her feel secure.

Sc : What's up Peter ?

P : I had a phone call from your dad half an hour ago.

Sc : What did he want ? I guess this bi… (for 'bitch' but he didn't say it entirely looking at Peter) told him something and…

P : You're right. He told me that Elaine had you on the phone. He's very upset cause he said you threatened her.

Sc : I threatened her ? Tell me he didn't believe it.

P : Well I'd like to tell you that but I can't.

Sc : Peter please tell me you believe me ?

P : Of course I do. But look your dad was very angry and said he was going to come here with her and discuss all of this.

Scott's blood made one turn when he realized what she said was true.

-----Flashback-----

Earlier on the phone :

Elaine : Scotty what do you think about me visiting you here, alone. We could…

Sc (still yelling) : Don't even think about it. I hate you bitch ! Get out off my life. Don't you think you destroyed it enough ? I don't wanna talk to you anymore. NEVER. Just tell my dad I called and I have something important to tell him.

Elaine : But Scotty you…

Scott hung up the phone…

-----End flashback-----

Peter looked at Scott's face trying to read what he had on his mind. He could feel the pain upon his face and fear.

P :Scott you ok ?

He didn't respond and looked somewhere else completely. Only his body was here in front of Peter but his mind was elsewhere. Peter shook him and he finally looked at him.

P : What were you thinking about ?

Sc : Um nothing.

P : Didn't seem like you were thinking about nothing. You look as pale as a ghost, tell me what's wrong.

Sc (getting angry) : I told you nothing, ok. Leave me alone !

P : Scott come back here.

Shelby and Sophie looked at the scene and Shelby went after Scott in the boys' dorm. Peter wanted to follow but Sophie made him stop, telling him he needed some time for himself.

…

In the boys' dorm :

S : Scott what are you doing ?

Sc :Shelby why did you follow me ?

S : Is that a problem ? You don't want me here by your side ?

Sc : Don't make me say what I didn't say, ok.

S : Ok. I repeat my question what are you doing ?

Sc : I'm leaving.

S : Again ?! But how ? Why ?

Sc : Long story and I don't wanna talk about it right now.

S : You can't go like that ! Are you seriously thinking about leaving me alone here ? What about our baby ? Don't you love me anymore ?

Sc : Don't be stupid Shelby of course I still love you. You mean the world to me but…

S : What ?

Sc : Ok. Peter told me that bitch told my dad I called but she must have invented something and Peter told me my dad said I threatened her. He's mad at me and they both are coming here tomorrow morning.

S : Oh my God I can imagine what's coming next.

Sc : Yes you can. On the phone she told me she'd come, alone, to force me to do this again and I guess she got angry when I told her she won't and I hung up and now she said something to my dad and they are both coming tomorrow. No need to tell you what she'll try to do with me, AGAIN. I don't want to be here when they come. I can't face her again. I won't support that, it's too hard. Can you understand that ?

S : Yes sure I can. I'm going to help you but how do you want to leave ?

Sc : I don't know. Not by kayaking again !

S (having a small smile on her face) : I guess you learned the lesson that day, uh ?

Sc : That's not funny Shelby, this is serious. I don't wanna see them tomorrow so I have to go and I'll come back as soon as I can. I won't ask you if you wanna come with me this time. You didn't last time and now that you're pregnant I won't even ask. I think I'll run. I'll be leaving after lights out when everybody's asleep.

S : I love you Scott.

Sc : Me too, honey.

He kissed her and took her in his arms. He prepared some clothes and stuff he would need to go and put it in one bag. He hid that bag deep in his closet behind clothes. They left the dorm before getting caught in each other's arms by a counsellor and getting a punishment. They had enough for one day. Then walked towards the cliffhangers outside and Peter came by with Sophie. Before Peter could open his mouth and say something Ezra spoke :

E : Peter we have too much homework and it's nearly impossible to finish the writing for this evening.

A : Yeah I think you asked us too much. We have kitchen duty and…

J : Please wouldn't it be possible to have one more day ?

D (sarcastic as always and smiling) : Come on Peter be nice for once !

P : Daisy are you trying to say that I'm not a nice person ?

D : I don't know. You're the shrink so you're the one whose suppose to know !

P : Ok. I'm not the one digging in the boss's files, right ?

J : It was our files.

P : Maybe, but you're not supposed to take a look at them.

A : Ok you're right but we got enough punishment for that. We're just asking for one more day.

Peter looked at Sophie and at all the cliffhangers. He nodded.

P : Ok I give you one more day but what you write better be really good !

J (excited) : Thanks Peter.

Shelby and Scott didn't say a word. Scott was thinking about how he was going to run away and leaving his love alone. He knew it wasn't going to be like the first time because now everyone's aware of the situation with Elaine but he knew he couldn't face her again in front of his dad who thinks he's the one to blame. The evening went as usual and they had group before going to bed. They were all in a circle when Peter came in, without Sophie for once.

D (sarcastic) : So what is it gonna be today ?

P : I can see you're impatient Daisy !

D (with a fake smile and Peter knew that) : Yeah sure.

P : Well I hope you're all as excited as Daisy.

Juliette was the only one always excited about everything.

P : Today I want you to finish one sentence with one single word and when you're done it's your neighbor's turn. The sentence is simple 'Today I feel…'.

Peter nodded to Juliette for her to begin.

J : Happy.

A : Tired.

E : Good.

D : Um tired.

S : Scared.

Sc : Tired.

Peter had looked at each of the cliffhangers to see who was telling the truth and who was lying. He could see that they all were telling the truth except that he didn't know if Shelby was scared about being pregnant or about something else. He also noticed that Scott looked more scared himself than tired. But Peter didn't say anything. They talked a bit about their feelings but Scott didn't say a lot but tried to feel normal. Of course Peter noticed there was something wrong with him but he didn't want to push him. He told himself he was probably nervous about his father and Elaine visiting him in the next morning.

P : Ok, lights out in 20.

They all went to their dorm and talked before sleeping. The girls were talking about Shelby's pregnancy and Juliette was still very excited about that while Shelby didn't say a lot and pretended she wanted to sleep. Once the time came and everyone was sleeping Scott took his bag and left the dorm. He stopped in front of the girls' dorm and unlike the last time he ran away Shelby wasn't looking at him by the window. Before going he thought about him and Shelby. 'Can I do that to her ? I can't leave her that way. But I can't face that bitch again. I know she'll arrange something to meet me alone and she'll… I don't wanna think about this. It's disgusting ! How can she do that to me ? Shelby, I love her and I'm running away from her, again ! I don't know what I can do'. He stopped thinking and was ready to leave when he heard a voice.

The voice : What the hell are you doing Scott ?

…

Coming next Martin Barringer and Elaine comes at Horizon. Will Scott be there ?
