Always here for you
I speak French (I speak English too but it's my second language) … so sorry for the mistakes.
A/N: It takes place after the thing with Scott and Elaine. And Scott knows about Shelby's past. The story is not like the episode ONE OF THOSE DAYS. The problem is the same but rest of the story will not be like that. (Information for the story) Scott and Shelby are the best friends in the world …but the others Cliff Hangers don't think like that. For them it's too close for to be friends. Daisy is the best friend of Shelby too. Juliette and Shelby are friends …but sometime there are little fights. Auggie and Juliette are together. Ezra is Ezra! LOL. David is nicer with Scott. Kat is Kat! Ok I think I said everything so enjoy my story! And please R&R!
I don't own any of the original characters of the TV show Higher Ground. Amy is my only character.
Thank you very much to: Linkie, 2008ccampbell and Kal's Gal. Your reviews are very important to me.
Are the thoughts of the characters
Chapter 3: All the Cliff Hangers know
Shelby couldn't sleep. She was sad, anxious, stressed….all the emotions but no signs of happiness. How my dad could do this to me She doesn't understand. She watches her alarm clock… 11h40…How should I tell that to Scott? 'Hey Scott…I'm here to tell you that: I leave the next week and I will never come back! Send me letters. Bye!' Stupid! She wake up and take her shoes. Just say the truth Shelby
11h45 At the Docks
Shelby is sitting alone on the docks. She is lost in her thoughts. It's so hard to tell that …. How will be the goodbyes?
Scott: Hey!
Shelby: Oh my god! You scare me Scott!
Shelby was trying to take her breathe.
Scott: Sorry.
Shelby: It's ok.
Scott: So you wanted to tell me something?
Shelby: Yeah….Um I'm not sure you will like that.
Scott: What? You don't want to be my friend anymore?
Shelby: No! Stupid! I will always be your friend.
Scott: Good. It's a good new.
Shelby: yeah…um just for return to the subject.
Scott: Yeah.
Shelby: Um….I….I don't know how to tell you that…
Scott: Just the truth…
Shelby rolled her eyes. You help me! It's not that simple …if only you knew
Shelby: OK …um my father called Peter and I leave the next week…and I will probably never come back.
She says that very fast, in one shoot. Bam! Stupid! I'm so stupid!
Scott: Very funny Shel. So what you wanted to talk about?
Shelby: Scott…I'm not kidding.
Scott: What?
Shelby: I'm leaving the next week….
Scott was so confused…and sad, terribly sad. And Shelby saw that. A tear rolled on her cheek.
Shelby: I'm sorry Scott. I don't want to leave but I have no choice.
Scott: You can't leave! If I'm surviving here it's because of you. You are my best friend Shel….I can't let you leave!
Shelby: Scott…You can't do anything…
Scott: Fine ….
Shelby: Prime me something…
Scott: What?
Shelby: When I will write you some letters …you will write me back.
Scott: I promise.
Shelby: Thanks.
Scott: Come here.
They make a contact eyes and then they hug each other. Like that Shelby couldn't see the tears on Scott's cheeks.
Shelby: I don't want to be caught by Peter…
Scott: Yeah me too. I don't want to be on shuns when you will leave …I want to tell you goodbye.
Shelby: Yeah…me too.
Scott: So goodnight…I will see you tomorrow.
Shelby: Yeah….sure.
They got at their dorm. Boy's dorm
Scott was lying on his bed since an hour. He couldn't sleep. It's normal …with that new! But he was thinking about Shelby: just her and her beautiful eyes or her magical smile. She was so perfect. She is so beautiful, so perfect…and nice. She is probably a very good kisser…with her little lips, just perfect. When Scott realise what he was thinking about. Ah! What am I thinking about? Come on Scott. It's Shelby, your best friend not your girlfriend! And then he stop. Shit! Man you are in love with her! Oh god! It's not good! He put is head under his pillow. Stupid! Stop thinking about her…and her body…and her butt…Ah! Scott stops that! It's totally clear …. I'm a boy! Shelby was right…I just think about that stuff… Now he knows…he loves Shelby. It's a start. Why her? She probably doesn't love me. No…She doesn't love me! on this thought Scott was asleep.
At the same time Girl's dorm
Shelby was lying on her bed and she was crying since an hour. She was crying very loud. So she wakes up Daisy.
Daisy: Hey what up?
Shelby (was always crying): I tell him …and it breaks my heart. I don't want to leave.
Daisy: You should try to sleep right now and we will talk about that tomorrow ok?
Shelby: Yeah.
After 5 minutes Daisy and Shelby were asleep.
Nine days later in the lounge
Juliette: Hey Where is Shelby?
Peter answer at this one.
Peter: She is packing.
Juliette: Why? We don't go anywhere?
Daisy: It's stupefying how you could be stupid some time.
Auggie: Hey Dais, she is not stupid.
Daisy: Sure.
She rolled her eyes.
Peter: She is packing because she is going to live with her father.
Juliette: Nice a little visit. When is she come back?
Peter: Um….She will never come back …
Juliette: What?
Peter: Her father wants is daughter with him.
Juliette: We are not best friend but it's ….weird….I will miss her.
Peter: I know….We will all miss her.
Ezra: Yeah …It will not be the same without Shelby.
Scott (he stars at the ground): I know…
Daisy: I will go check on her. Maybe she needs help.
Peter: Ok.
Daisy left the lounge.
in the girl's dorm
Daisy: Hey.
But Daisy found Shelby sitting on her bed and crying in silence.
Daisy: Are you ok?
Shelby: Hey…I'm fine… What are you doing here?
Daisy: I wonder if you need help.
Shelby: Sure…thanks
Daisy: You are welcome
Shelby wiped her tears away and starts to pack again with the help of Daisy.
Daisy: Peter told the new to the Cliff Hangers.
Shelby: Oh…and what was their reactions?
Daisy: Juliette said that she will miss you.
Shelby: Very funny Dais.
Daisy: I'm not kidding
Shelby: Oh….maybe I will miss her too. I know her since 2 years now. She is like a part of my life. Like the others Cliff Hangers…you…and Scott.
Daisy: You will really miss him, do you?
Shelby: Yeah…more that I though.
Daisy: Ah! Young love!
Shelby: Hey! We are not together.
Daisy: Maybe not …. But you love him!
Shelby: No!
Daisy: My tarot cards never lie!
Shelby: What?
Yeah! Daisy read her tarot card every night. Last night she did this for Shelby.
Flashback
Daisy: This is very interesting!
She turns another card. What is that? Friend's card and love' card together...weird I've never saw that before. Then she realise! Oh! Ok! I understand now! Ah…lover birds!
End of Flashback
Daisy: Forget…it's not important.
She laughs a little bit.
Shelby: What is so funny?
Daisy: Um…nothing…Everything is fine!
She smiles to Shelby. If I told her she will kill me!
The girls go to the lounge for group.
