Shelby's POV

"Dylan, what are you doing here?"
" I'm the new kid." He told me as he walks over closer to me but I move away and sit on m bed.
"Why were you crying?" He asks me with concern in his voice.
"No reason." I snap back and turn away form him. This guy hasn't seen me in a year and expects me just tell him everything. He is out of his mind.
"You were crying for no reason?" He sarcastically says to me and walks over to sit next to me on m bed.
"Yes."
"You're lying." As if I didn't know that already this guy has some nerve. He looks me in the eye.
"Why were you crying?" He asks me again.
"I haven't seen you in a year; you want me to tell you everything about my life now. You have no right." I yell at him and turn away from his gaze.
"You're my wife. I have every right." He yells at me.
"I'm not your wife. That was some thing that we did when we were fifteen to prove our love to one another. It wasn't even legal. It was stupid." I yell back at him and shove his to the other side of the bed.
He looks at me and I can see the pain in his eyes.

"I still care about you." He says softly and looks down at his shoes.

I look at him. He looks the same. I fell in love with him because of his eyes. I can't imagine why he is at Horizon. He was always a straight arrow. He would always flush my cigarettes dawn the toilet. He is still very tan. It amazes me how much he looks like Dylan McKay from Beverly Hills 90210. His name is Dylan.

"Shelby?"

I look over and see Dylan's hand is waving in front of my face.

"What?" I ask annoyed.
"Please, tell me why you were crying?" he asks.
"Tell me why you are here at Horizon?" I park at him right after he finish's his sentence
"No." He says angrily and walks away from me.
" I won't tell you why I was crying." I tell him in a bratty voice.
"Fine." he yells.

He moves back closer to me on the bed. He pop his knuckles can tell he is nerve. He wets his lips and turns to face me.
"When you ran away, I thought it was because you hated me. You didn't want to be my wife anymore. I knew your parents were not happy about how close me and you were, Therefore, when you ran away I put the blame on myself. I still do put the blame on myself."

He turns away from me. He looks down into his lap. He starts to talk again.

"I didn't understand. I still don't."

I bring me hand up and pull his face to mine.

"What happened?" I ask. All the thoughts of Scott escape my mind and all I see is this boy who I loved and gave my heart to before Walt took it away.

He pulls away from me. He looks down.

"I took every drug. I wanted to die. I still do. When you wrote me that letter telling me that when we went to my dad and asked him to marry us for the fun of it, all of it was a mistake and so stupid since you were fifteen and I was sixteen. It wasn't even legal or true but, it was true to me because I felt in my heart that we were together. I guess you didn't feel the same way. That letter made me want to die more than I have ever wanted to. I wanted to forget you. I hated you. I loved you even more. You left me. Why?" He turns and looks at me. His face is covered with this pain that I can't take away from him.

I don't know what to do. I didn't leave because of him. I left because of Walt. I can't tell him what I did on the streets. He will hate me. I can't tell him anything.

"Why?" He repeats and now starts to get angry because I won't answer him.
"I can't tell you." I say and stand up and walk to the bathroom door. I know that hurts him

"Why were you crying?" He asks now more calm than before.
"I can't tell you that either." I say still standing by the bathroom door.

I feel bad. I can't deal with this. Scott left and now Dylan is here. I run out run out of the dorm passing Dylan by my bed. I want to get away. I can't go to the docks, I will just cry about Scott. I run to the woods. I sit down by a tree and start to cry. I can't deal with this. I miss Scott. Dylan was my first love but I have never and will never love anyone like I love Scott.

"Shelby!" I hear someone calls my name. I quickly wipe my tears away. I turn to see Daisy. She sits down next to me.
"What's wrong?" she asks.

I say nothing.

"Is it about Scott?" She asks.
"Shelby get over Scott. He left you. You need to be happy with out him." She tells me and puts her arms me.
"My ex is here from home. He meant everything to me two years ago but now, I don't even know who he is."

Here eyes widen. She is in shock.

"What!" she yells.
"Dylan, the newbie. He is m ex." I tell her.
"Explain."
"It is a long story." I say not wanting to go into it.
"Tell me." She yells.
"When I was eleven, I met Dylan. He was my best friend, we spent every day together. I didn't want him to know I had a crush on him, so I would always be mean to him. One day he got mad at me and we got into this huge fight. I went slap him and he grabbed my hand and pulled me into him. We started to kiss. It was my first kiss ever. I had met him when I was eleven and now I was fourteen getting my first ever kiss and of course I felt like I was in love. It was puppy love. Ever since that day, he and I were inseparable. When Walt started to get with me I Felt if I told Dylan, He would hate me. I never did tell him. When I turned fifth teen, he asked me to marry him. Crazy! So we made up this stupid idea that when we turn eighteen we would make our marriage legal but right now its only in our hearts. We were in love and didn't care if it is insane. My mom hated him and just thought we were crazy but his parents loved me. They just thought we were to kids who just had there first love. His father made this little kitty speech about us and told us we were married. When I ran away, it wasn't because of Dylan. It was because of Walt. Dylan doesn't know that. He told me today that he think s it is because of him." I still have my eyes facing the ground but as I finish talking I look up at Daisy.

Daisy looks at me and can see the tears in my eyes. I pull my legs up to my chest. Daisy does the same.

"He walked in on me crying. He wants to know why I was crying. I can't tell him. He thinks I left because of him. If he also finds out that I am in love with another man he will hate me." I love Scott more than anything but I would like to be friends with Dylan.
"I think you should tell him everything." Daisy said.
"Why?" I ask.
" You need to get over Scott, if that means being friends with Dylan or something more than do it. Scott left you and you need to move on with your life." Daisy says.
"I am in love with Scott." I say.
"It doesn't matter. Just take a chance." Said Daisy.
" I'll think about it." I say

I'm so thankful for Daisy. Scott was the guy I could tell anything to but he left and now I realize what a true friend is. Daisy will never judge me and she accepts that I am a mega bitch and so is she. I guess we just flock together.

I sand up and put my hand out to her and she grabs it and I pull her up.

"Let's go eat." I say.

We start to walk to the cafeteria.
