Promises are like Eggs

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

Chapter 6

Peter shook his head in disappointment as the doctor pulled pieces of glass out of Scott's hand. Disappointment because he had not realized how depressed Scott truly was. Scott was completely zoning out in violent fits and he already had one panic attack, Peter was worried about what would happen next. The doctor walked out of the room after bandaging Scott's hand.

Scott sat on the table silently; his clothes still red with now dry blood.

"Scott we need to talk…" Peter said slowly watching as he didn't even register being talked to, "Scott, they want you to talk to the psychologist here before you go."

Finally Scott looked at him, "I don't need to, I'm fine."

Peter sighed, "Well they don't think your fine and neither do I, it's just a small meeting then we can leave…alright?"

"Apparently it doesn't matter what I think so whatever."

Again they sat in silence, after a couple of minutes, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Peter said

The door opened and an old man entered, "Hello, I'm Dr. Camost."

Peter stood up and shook his, "I'm Peter," he nodded towards Scott, "This is Scott."

Dr. Camost walked over to Scott and put his hand out without a reaction from him. Slowly he lowered his hand, "So you've had a rough day it seems, huh?"

Again Scott didn't reply. Dr. Camost looked over at Peter with expectant eyes.

"I'll wait outside." Peter said knowingly

Once he left, Dr. Camost pulled a seat over and situated it in front of Scott before sitting down, "So is there anything you want to talk about?"

Scott quickly looked up at the man then back down towards the floor, "No."

"You've been under a lot of stress lately, are you sure you don't want to get some things off your chest? Anything you say to me stays between us."

Scott sighed, "I already told you, I have nothing to say."

He nodded, "Alright, then how bout I ask you a few questions, is that alright?"

Scott shrugged, Peter was right, once he finished with this man he could leave already.

"So let's start off with Mt. Horizon, how do you feel about it?"

"I don't know, I like it there, its better than home."

"Why do you feel that it's better than home?"

"I don't know." He repeated

"Well Scott there has to be a reason for your feelings. Does it have to do with your stepmother?"

Scott looked up shocked, "How do you know about that?"

"It's in your files; I had to do some back round history before meeting with you."

Scott was mad, "You had no right looking through my files! I don't even know you!"

"Ok Scott, calm down. We need to get back on track. About your stepmother…"

Scott interrupted, "No, I'm not talking about this, I'm not talking with you. I'm done here, that's it!" He stood up and walked through the door where Peter was sitting patiently.

At the sight of Scott, Peter stood up, "You're finished already?"

Scott nodded but Dr. Camost spoke from behind him, "No, we are not finished; he refuses to talk to me."

Peter looked at Scott confused, "What's going on?"

"Peter please can we just go! Please look, I'll talk to you, I'll talk to Sophie, whoever you want me to talk to I'll talk to, just can we please go?"

Peter looked at both Scott and the Doctor, "Scott go wait in the room, let me speak to Dr. Camost."

Scott did what he was told and when the door closed behind him, Peter looked at the other man.

"Look, Peter, I believe that it is in Scott's best interest to stay and talk. I feel that he is carrying around a great deal of pain that he needs to release."

"I understand, but I just thought of an idea that will help him let out his feelings. I think this meeting, although you are a good doctor I'm sure, will wind up more hurtful than helpful. But thank you for your time."

The two shook hands and although Dr. Camost did not agree, there was nothing he could actually do about it since the main doctor only recommended that Scott talk to him.

Peter walked into the room Scott was waiting in, he got up and the two left. In the car, both were quiet until they returned to Horizon. Before Scott could get out, Peter began talking.

"Look Scott, CPS is coming tomorrow. After, I have someone I want you to talk to."

"What? Peter come on…"

"Scott you said if you didn't have to talk to that guy, you would talk to anyone I wanted." Peter interrupted.

Scott sighed, "Who is it."

Peter shook his head, "That's not important right now. Go to your dorm and get some rest because you have a long day ahead of you."

Scott just stared at Peter for a moment, trying to get some kind of hint at who it was he would talk to. Then he opened the door and walked into the direction of his dorm. When he entered, the other guys were sleeping already. Scott walked over to the bathroom and turned on the lights after closing the door. He suddenly felt really guilty, all the damage he had done horrified him. Quickly, Scott left the bathroom and walked over to his bed not even bothering to change his clothes.

Flashback

After talking to Scott at the docks and walking him to his dorm, Peter walked to his office, but before entering the building he heard someone calling him.

"Peter!" Shelby shouted from behind him.

He waited for her to reach him before answering, "What's up Shelby?"

"I need to ask for a favor."

He looked at her suspiciously, "What kind of favor?"

"Well, I really messed up with Scott, you know?"

"What's the favor Shel?"

"I was wondering if you could maybe set up a meeting with me and him?"

"I think he needs some time Shelby, not just because of you, but Scott has been through a lot, he's going to be going through a lot."

"I know, that's why he needs someone right now! I want to be that person, Peter please!"

Peter tried to think whether or not it would be a good idea, "What would you say to him?"

"I want him to know that he can trust me again, I just have some things to tell him, some stuff that I think will make him believe me again when I say that I won't tell anyone something."

"Ok Shelby look, I'll think about, I can't promise anything, but I'll watch Scott and see whether or not it will be a positive meeting."

"Alright, but please think about it, I promise it will be a good thing for him."

"I will Shelby…"

"Peter!" He turned around and saw Roger running towards him

Ran to him leaving Shelby behind, "What's wrong?"

"Its Scott, hurry just come quickly!" And the two took off running

End Flashback

Daisy quietly flipped the next card over. She was trying to figure out what the future held for Scott. The Nine of Swords, it meant he was feeling guilty, depressed, doubting all will go well. She had already gotten the two of swords meaning that he was keeping one at arms length, denying his true feelings. She smiled knowing that he still cared about Shelby. She was wondering what would happen with CPS and when she flipped the card she knew, the justice card was flipped. Scott would be going to court she figured, it meant he was trying to do what was right. Next, Daisy looked for the outcome, Three of Swords, he was going to get unsettling news causing heartbreak.
