Chapter 5

The sound of footsteps was heard behind Scott. He knew it wouldn't be Shelby, she wouldn't bother him after what he had said, but even so he refused to turn around and acknowledge whoever was trying to bother him.

They sat next to him, but Scott saw from the corner of his eye that it was Daisy, but he still refused to move his gaze from the lake set in front of him.

"Pain is never permanent." Daisy said suddenly

Scott sighed and turned to her, "Daisy I just want to be left alone right now alright?"

"See, I would normally comply to your request, but the problem is, I don't think it's a very good idea for you to actually be alone right now; so no."

He rolled his eyes, "I'm fine."

"Yea, about that, I don't think so."

"What are you talking about? If I say I'm fine, then I'm fine."

"Scott, your girlfriend slipped that you were molested, your father doesn't believe you, and your depressed; I don't think that your fine."

Scott stood up to leave, "I don't have to take this from you."

"No," she nodded, "But Peter's looking for you, so I guess you'll have to talk to him then."

Scott stopped; he didn't feel like dealing with Peter so he walked back and sat next to Daisy, "Fine, what do you have to say? And don't start on me about Shelby, I don't feel like hearing about how it was a mistake and that I…" He was interrupted by Daisy's hand

"I'm not here to rekindle your relationship, that will come later," He opened his mouth to protest but she continued, "Right now I think you need to figure out how to get through all of this."

"I can handle it." He said pointedly

"I am well aware of that. It's how you handle it that I'm concerned with."

"I don't need a babysitter."

"No, you don't. But you could use a friend."

"Daisy, please, not right now. We'll talk later; I just really want to be alone right now." His voice sounded sad

She looked at him for a moment before answering, "Alright, I'll give you some time, but we're coming back to this."

He nodded. Daisy stood up and slowly walked away. Scott again turned his attention to the lake and five minutes later, there were steps behind him again.

"Daisy not now!" His voice sounded frustrated

"Apparently she listened." Scott turned around surprised to see Peter

"Oh, yea."

Peter sat down and Scott looked at the water. "Listen Scott, I know your upset about what happened with your father, but his reaction was not Shelby's fault."

"If she wouldn't have said something, I wouldn't have told him."

"When you eventually did, he would've reacted the same."

Scott just stayed quiet, he knew Peter was right about that aspect, but it was easier to blame her than have to face the realization of his father's actions.

"Scott I have to call CPS now." He hesitantly said

Scott put his head in his hands, "I know."

"There on your side Scott. And your father, give him some time. I'm sure he will come to realize that you are telling the truth," When Scott didn't say anything, Peter continued, "It's time for lunch, so why don't you head to the cafeteria."

"Peter, would it be alright if I skipped lunch, I'm not really very hungry, I'd rather just lie down for a while."

"Alright, I'll send someone to check on you in a little while."

Scott nodded and they both stood up. Peter walked Scott to the dorms, and when Scott disappeared behind the door, Peter walked away.

Once Scott was out of anyone's view, and he was sure no one would come, the tears he had been trying to hold in exploded from his eyes. The pain from his father's rejection poured out. Scott walked into the bathroom, so that when someone checked on him, they wouldn't see him crying. He slide down against the door and cried in his arms which were perched up on his knees. Scott reached up and felt the swollen skin of his eyelid. He thought back to his father's words:

"You lying bastard! You are not my son, I don't know who you are, but you are NOT my son!"

More tears began to flood from his eyes. Scott stood up and looked into the mirror, all he saw was the embarrassment he was to his father. Scott punched the mirror. Built up anger from Shelby telling, from his father not believing, from him not being able to control Elaine exploded. Scott began to pound away at the walls. He punched and kicked at anything situated infront of the fist he was throwing. Scott was so into his escapade, he didn't hear Roger calling to him from outside, he didn't hear him screaming for him to stop once inside the bathroom.

Scott was so focused on the anger and pain that he felt, he did notice when Peter came running in, and only realized he was not alone when the two men grabbed him and forcible held him down.

"Scott calm down!" Peter yelled to the teen.

There was blood everywhere. On the sinks, on the walls, Scott's clothes were drenched with blood. He continued to fight them until he started to tire. Once he was too tired to fight anymore, Scott broke down into loud sobs. Peter pulled him into a hugged, and let him cry.

"It's ok Scott."

He finally spoke up, mumbling between the cries, "No it's not ok." He cried

"Just let it out." Peter soothed

Scott said no more, he was too tired to think or react; he completely zoned the entire situation out. Peter stood and slowly helped Scott stand, careful to not touch his hands which seemed to be the most injured, although he didn't think Scott would feel any of the pain at the moment anyway. Peter led the crying Scott out of the room and across the campus, while Roger stood behind to clean up the mess made by Scott.

Daisy and Shelby saw the two walking towards the nurse; Shelby gasped, Scott was covered in blood.

"What do you think happened?" She asked worriedly

"I don't know but I knew this would happen."

"What?" she asked confused

"I knew he shouldn't have been left alone, not in the state he was in. It was apparent that his emotions were so out of whack that he was going to just explode."

Shelby just looked back towards Scott, she knew he needed someone, she knew she wanted to be that person, what she didn't know was how to make Scott want her to be that person. Just looking at him, Shelby could see the pain he was feeling, just the way he walked it was evident. That is when Shelby decided she had to do something; she had to show him that she could be trusted again, that they should be together again.
