A/N: The last time I looked there was like 1 who reviewed or something. That's why I really didn't feel like updating. Well and, because I kinda put all my energy in school, my homepage, my friends, my family and my other fanfiction. Though, I hope that there will be move reviews this time… Here goes chapter 10.

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

Shelby just dropped everything in her hands and fainted.

"Oh my God!" Scott yelled.

"What's going on?" Peter came and asked.

"Shelby, she just fainted…" That was all Scott managed to say.

"Let's get her to the hospital." Peter said and carried her into the truck and drove towards the hospital along with Scott and Daisy.

Shelby was lying at the hospital. The doctor was checking up on her. After a while the doctor came out.

"Is she gonna be alright?" They all asked.

"We don't know yet. For some reason she fainted. And obviously some things wrong. We've taking some tests and x-rays. The results will probably come out in a day or two." The doctor answered.

"Okay, thank you." Peter said.

"Do you know when she'll wake up?" Scott asked.

"I'm sorry no. But why don't you go in and visit her? Some patients recover sooner if their family, and friends are with them." The doctor said and walked away.

Scott, Daisy and Peter entered Shelby's room and sat on some chairs beside her bed. They didn't get what had just happened. Especially not Scott. Shelby just accepted him. And they were happy, happy for once! And now, no one knew what was going on. He really and truly wished it to be nothing. But as the doctor said, she fainted. There's always a reason to faint.

Later that day Shelby woke up. She was at first a bit confused, but then happy to see them. Scott was very glad that she finally woke up. He had worried sick all day.

"Hey how're you?" Scott asked.

"Hey, I'm fine. Where am I?" Shelby asked in a confused tone.

"You're at the hospital. You fainted right after breakfast. We don't know why yet. But the doctors took some tests, and the results will come out in a few days." Peter answered even though Shelby kinda asked Scott.

"Yeah. You just rest we'll tell you when the results are out." Daisy said.

"Thanks Dais." Shelby said and looked at Scott and Daisy.

"No problem." Daisy replied.

"You guys can talk or something. I'm gonna call Sophie." Peter said and walked out of the room.

Peter called Sophie, she was not exactly happy about it. She agreed to call Alice. Alice Merrick.

Scott and Shelby talked for a very long time, until Peter told Scott that it was time to get back to Horizon. They could visit her again the next morning.

When Peter arrived at Horizon he asked Sophie what Alice said.

"Well I wouldn't know, cause no one answered." Sophie said.

"I'll try call her again."

Peter picked up the phone and dialled Alice's phone number. After a few tones, the machine started.

"Hi, this is the Merrick residence. We're not here to pick up the phone right now, but leave a message, and we'll get back to ya as soon as we can. Bye…"

"Hi this is Peter Scarbrow, at Horizon. Listen there's something very important I need to tell you. Could you please get back to me as soon as you hear this? Thanks. Bye." Peter hung up. After a minute Sophie entered his office.

"Did you call her?" She asked.

"Yes, but no one answered. I left a message. I hope she'll call back soon. She should know about Shelby." Peter answered.

"When did she call back the last time you called?" Sophie asked, and looked at Peter.

"Well.. Ehm… Never? She didn't call me back." Peter replied.

"So what makes you think she'll call back this time?"

"Well maybe for once she actually cares? Maybe she can at least visit her daughter once? She's lying at the hospital!" Peter almost yelled.

"Hey, you don't have to convince me. If she were my daughter I'd be running towards the hospital by now." Sophie joked.

They decided to go to bed. And try call her again the next day.

That night Scott had trouble sleeping. He thought of Shelby all the time. Finally when he fell a sleep he woke up because of a nightmare. He dreamt that Shelby had cancer, heart cancer. And it was too late, no one could safe her. She had about 2 months to live in. And after those 2 months she would… She would…

After the nightmare he couldn't sleep again. He decided to take a walk. It was around 4 AM. The others would probably wake up around 5 or 6. So he had an hour or two to think. He walked out to the docks. But he weren't alone. He met Daisy.

"Hey, couldn't sleep either?" Daisy asked.

"No, I just well. I dreamt stuff…" Scott answered, he never really talked much to Daisy.

"Yeah, me too." She said. After a long time of silence she said: "I really hope nothing's wrong."

"Don't we all?" Scott answered.

Around 5 AM. Peter came out, and told them to get ready for breakfast, and then they could visit Shelby afterwards.

Peter entered his office, and tried to call Alice again. This time someone picked up.

"Jess Merrick speaking."

"Hi, this is Peter from Mt. Horizon. I'm looking for Alice?" Peter said.

"Hi Peter, she's not here right now. But I'll tell her you called." Jess answered.

"Okay, thanks. Could you tell her that it's kinda an emergency. And it concerns Shelby." Peter replied.

"What's wrong with Shelby, is she okay?" Jess asked.

"Ehmm… She's at the hospital. Last day, she fainted. We still don't know why. But we'll probably get some results soon." Peter said.

"What!" Jess replied. "Is… Is she alright?" Jess said in a shocked tone.

"Yeah, yeah… For the time being she's fine…" Peter answered.

"FOR THE TIME BEING! What do you mean by that!" Jess yelled.

"I mean, the doctors took some tests, and he will call us when he has the results." Peter replied.

"So, she could be like deadly sick, and you wouldn't know!" Jess yelled again.

"Listen, Jess. Don't think that, it could be nothing." Peter said, trying to calm her down.

"Look Peter, I'm no clever thing, but I know that a normal human being don't just faint, if nothing's wrong!" Jess once again YELLED!

"Calm down, no you're right. People don't just faint, and I'm not a doctor, but the doctor assured us that it could be nothing. For the time being, let's just hope that." Peter said.

"I'm on my way…" Jess said.

"Wait, Jess!" Peter said.

"What?" Jess said in an annoying tone.

"Don't you think you should wait for your mother?" Peter asked.

"Who knows when she's gonna come home? She's been out all night. I'll just leave a note, Cya soon." Jess said and hung up.

"Wait, Jess!" Peter said, but Jess had already hung up.

Peter walked out of his office, he ran into Sophie.

"Did you try again?" Sophie asked.

"Yeah, and someone actually answered. But it wasn't Alice. It was Jess, she heard and she was worried so she's on her way." Peter said.

"Well at least, her sister cares! But wait, Jess don't have a car, it's gonna take hours before she gets here. And besides, she'll have to walk very far, since there are no trains or busses out here." Sophie said worriedly.

"Yeah, I know. That's why I'm on my way, to pick her up now. Tell Scott, Daisy and everyone else who wants to visit Shelby that I'll pick up Jess, and we can go together." Peter said, kissed Sophie goodbye, and ran out to the truck.

Hours later:

They all just arrived at the hospital, everyone at Horizon, Sophie, Peter and last but not least, Jess. She was a bit nervous, it had been so long time since she last saw her sister. Peter could see that on Jess' face.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Peter said and tried to comfort Jess.

Before they walked into Shelby's room, the doctor stopped Peter and Sophie, cause he wanted to talk to them.

"Just go guys, we'll be right there. But remember, this is a hospital, be quite!" Sophie said and walked along with Peter, into the doctor's office. The doctor started talking.

"WHAT!" Both Peter and Sophie yelled. "Ar… Are you sure!"
