THIS ISN'T A CHAPTER, ONLY AN AUTHOR'S NOTE. But read this, it contains some major info!
First of all, I'd like to thank all the reviewers of this story. I'm glad you all liked it.
Second of all, I decided I was going to write a sequel to this story if I have requests for this, and some ideas won't be bad too. Just tell me if you want to see something special.
Here, I'm presenting the first lines of my new stories 'Safety' and 'Regrets': So just enjoy reading!
The thing is to choose the first one I'm going to update since I already have other stories being on which aren't finished.
SAFETY:
Beginning of chapter 1 called 'Nightmares'.
Shelby tossed and turned in her bed. It was a warm night of September and the nightmares wouldn't go away. What she was living since a few months now was unbearable for her. She woke up and sat straight up in her bed, letting the sheets fall. Her face was flushed by sweat and her clothes were glued on her skin. She brushed her hair off of her face and sighed deeply. This was all she could think about, every nights the same. She couldn't contain herself anymore as she was already on the verge of the tears. She cried, cried because she was a mess, cried because she felt so dirty, but all above cried because she was all alone. She couldn't tell nobody or they would think she's a victim. And she didn't want to be considered as a victim, never. The dreams were always the same; she, lying on a sofa with two boys holding her hands to stop her from moving, another one who was taking pictures, and the last one sitting on the steps, crying more and more louder. And then, there was the one who was talking to her, the one who was touching her all over, the one who was taking away her clothes. She remembered that she had tried to scream, several times before the guy had put his wet hand on her mouth. She remembered having muffled a 'help me' as a last resource, but that was all she could remember. She couldn't remember because, this night had being traumatizing but also because she had fell in a sort of coma, just as she was about to get raped. That night had changed her life, for bad. Little things did she know she wasn't the only one for who this night had changed the life.
"Matt, can you help me?" Shelby asked her new target, as they were doing shopping together. He nodded and she turned around. She soon felt his cold fingers on her neck and shivered at his touch. He hooked the necklace and she turned around. "How do I look?" She demanded seductively brushing some hair out of her face.
"You are just beautiful." He responded looking deeply into her blue eyes. She quickly broke the gaze, feeling slightly uncomfortable and headed towards the pay desk to buy the object.
"So, uh what are you doing tonight?" She asked, looking back at him smiling.
"I don't know. Why?"
"We could go out together, and maybe see a movie or something?" She suggested, knowing he had got the idea as a smile spread across his face.
"Okay, that's a good idea!" He exclaimed happily.
"Good." Shelby said content with herself. She had a date for tonight and that was all that mattered.
REGRETS: (Know that I'm not still sure about the title!)
Horizon, Graduation Day
"You don't know how proud I am of you, son." Martin Barringer was here at Horizon for his son Scott who was graduating this day.
"Thanks dad." Scott smiled at his father and hugged him tightly.
"Scott!" Scott turned around and saw Juliet Waybourne and Shelby Merrick coming towards them. He smiled at them and took Shelby's delicate hand in his.
"Dad, I'd like to introduce Shelby and Juliet to you. Jules is one of my best friends and Shelby is my girlfriend. Girls this is my dad." Martin smiled at the two pretty girls and shook their hands. Juliet offered him one of her best smiles and Shelby shyly smiled back at him.
"So, how is life going Mr Barringer?" Juliet asked Martin like she was one of his old friends. Martin laughed and took her by the arm.
"I think I'd be better if I could eat something." He said hinting a lunch.
"Well, then I'll show you the cafeteria." The two left excusing themselves at Scott and Shelby and Scott looked at Shelby smirking.
"What is it, babe?" She asked turning to face him.
"I didn't know you were so shy Shel." He said smiling.
"Me? Shy?"
"Uh, uh. Are you afraid of my father?"
"No, I was just a little intimidated. And Jules stole me the chance to impression him. I mean, look at her! She was acting like she knew him for years!" She said frustrated.
"You know it doesn't really matter what my dad think of you. I love you and you don't have to make a good impression to him. He didn't make it one himself, so…"
"Yeah, I know." She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I love you too." He leaned down to give her a kiss but was stopped by Peter.
"Sorry guys, but you two are still under the rules."
"It doesn't matter. Even if we were having sex in front of you, you couldn't punish us, we're leaving tomorrow." Shelby answered challenging the one she saw a father in.
"Well, I still have your certificates. And if I want I can force both of you to stay another year."
"I don't believe in that stuff." Scott said pulling Shelby closer.
"Me neither." She whispered staring deeply at him, a lovely look in her eyes. He leaned down and gave her a big kiss. Peter stayed there looking at them for a few seconds, shook his head smiling and left to see the others.
Please, read & review for the two stories!
