CHAPTER TWELVE

A Few Minutes After

"Hey Shel, how are you holding up? Better than yesterday?" Wendy asked sitting in front of her bestfriend as she was finishing eating breakfast. Scott was still upstairs getting ready so the two could talk without any interruption.

"Yeah, I'm fine, that was just a big shock, but yeah…don't you eat any breakfast?" Shelby replied and Wendy shook her head, rethinking of the events of last night…and Luke.

"I'm not that hungry…bad hang-over, you see?" She said and Shelby nodded, remembering her last one…after the Halloween Party.

"What? How?"

"Went out last night with Donna." She admitted and Shelby almost chocked in her glass of orange juice.

"Donna? As Scott's ex?" She questioned and Wendy nodded sadly.

"Yeah, she's nice."

"Nice…"

"Okay, you can't be mad at me because I needed a distraction."

"I'm not mad…just surprised that you went out while Jill is at the hospital." Shelby retorted and Wendy made a face that she didn't believe her at all.

"About that, you should go get ready, Scott told me he was just going to drop us and go to play with his friends at the grid."

"I know, he already told me…I just finish my cereals bowl and I go change." She answered and Wendy put her elbows on the table, glancing around to see if no one was there.

"Okay. Shel, can we talk?"

"I didn't know we just weren't." She joked and Wendy rolled her eyes at her bad joke.

"Okay…what if you realized you did a big error that could hurt someone pretty bad, and that you knew there wasn't a change the person would forgive you. Would you lie to that person?"

"It depends of the case." Shelby said not really paying attention as she thought her way of telling her that she had done a mistake was kinda disturbing. Wendy had always told her the things cash.

"You're not really helping." Wendy stated and Shelby looked up at her.

"Sorry…but really, a lie is never good and is always finally discovered, even if it takes time."

"But don't you think that with the time the person could be more clement?" Wendy asked biting her bottom lip in pain.

"I don't know…why?"

"Just…I did someth-" Wendy started but stopped as soon as she heard steps coming closer.

"Hey Shelby, stop talking with that stupid sister of mine and go change or I'll be late!" Scott said with a smile as he entered the kitchen, all ready for the day. He was wearing his football shorts and a white wife-beater even if it was pretty cold outside.

"Okay, it's not really my business, but what with those clothes? Aren't you going to be cold?" Shelby asked him and he gave her a seductive look.

"No! Once I'll be on the grid with the guys, I'll be hot quickly…" He said with a flirty smile and Shelby blushed a little thinking of how hot he would be while Wendy shoved him a little.

"Stop making goody eyes to my bestfriend, she is not interested!" She said and Scott smirked at her.

"That's what you think, right Shelby?" He asked her and she nodded along.

"Sure, I'm totally head over heels about you, everybody knows that." She replied with a sarcastic tone, to cover the truth but the two lovers knew better…

"Well, I knew you totally wanted me…I mean, who wouldn't?"

"Me." Wendy answered with a hoarse voice, rolling her eyes at him.

"You don't count, you're my sister." He pointed out with a smirk playing on his lips. He loved messing with his sister and she deserved it after what she had done last night.

"Yeah Wendy, It's just sickening…yuck." Shelby said wiping her mouth with a napkin.

"You're really close-minded. No wonder why you don't have a boyfriend." Wendy said harshly and both Scott and Shelby smiled inside thinking about the other.

"Look who's talking?"

"You're right, I don't have one, I have several, but that's another story…" She slyly said and Scott cringed at the thought of Wendy going out with 'several' boys at the same time.

"Whatever…I'm gonna dress. See you soon, siblings!" Shelby said and dropped her bowl in the sink. Scott sat where she previously was and finished her glass of orange juice.

"Aren't you a little disgusted to drink in her glass?" Wendy had an obsession about germs and virus contamination…she never drank or eat something previously started by someone else. It was funny because kisses and hugs weren't disturbing her at all…just food.

"Why would I be? It's not like she spit in it…and besides, we kiss all the time and by this process our saliva meet each time." He explained with a laugh and she just rolled her eyes at him.

"Please Scott, you're getting really unsubtle." She said with a look of disgust on her face

"Okay, I'm stopping it… So, um, what time do you want me to take you back at the hospital?"

"As soon as you're finished with your stupid game." She said knowing she had stuck a nerve by commenting about football this way. Scott narrowed his eyes at her.

"Don't talk about football this way! Just because you don't like sports or anything with some effort doesn't leave you the justification to discredit it." He said calmly but didn't like how she was talking about his sport.

"I love some things that bring effort…like sex." She said seriously and Scott laughed at her.

"Oh, like you know what you're talking about. You make me laugh!"

"Well don't. What do you think I've done during the time you were away, doing your 'thing' at the camp, uh? Stayed home and saw anyone but my friends?" She asked a little offended and Scott looked at her surprised by her tone.

"What are you talking about?" He frowned at Wendy got up from her chair, glaring at him.

"Don't be so dense, bro; I'm sure you'll guess." She replied, patting his shoulder as she walked past him.

"Bullshit."

"Don't be so sure…hey Shel, bring your butt out of here quickly!" She yelled from the entrance and took her coat in her hand.

"I'm coming, two seconds!" Shelby yelled back from the guest bedroom.

"I'm gonna wait in the car." Wendy said, taking Scott's car keys from his coat. Scott was about to protest when he thought of something…he would be allowed to have that kiss he had been dreaming about since last night's amazing goodnight one. He had come into the guestroom where Shelby was staying and had lied with her on the bed while she was already sleeping. He had kissed her and she had responded to his kiss, waking up…it had been wonderful…

"Hey beautiful!" Scott whispered as he entered the room without knocking… "Oh shit, you're already dressed up!" He exclaimed and sat on the bed. She turned to look at him and smirked.

"Well, what is it with you today? Miserable jokes and obsession over me… are you sick?" She asked with a smile and stood in front of him, placing her hand on his forehead playfully to see if he was any hot. He pulled her to him but she forcefully pulled his hands away. "Where's your sister?"

"Which one?"

"Really funny…"

"Well, she's waiting in the car…we kinda had a small argument."

"About?" She inquired and he bit his bottom lip softly. She smiled sitting on his lap, a leg on each side, and straddling his waist and lightly began to kiss his neck. "Tell me." She demanded with a husky voice.

"Okay, well, it was about sex." He admitted and she let out a small laugh.

"Scott…"

"No, I'm serious…it all began with talking about football and she said it was a stupid and useless game…and I took offence." He pouted and she giggled a little. "You think this is funny?" He asked slightly annoyed.

"Yeah, quite. Sorry." Scott put a hand behind her head, pulling it closer to his face and placed his lips upon hers, softly kissing her. She opened her mouth and allowed his tongue to enter. He rested a hand on her hip and pulled her to him, slowly lying down on the bed, with her on top. Shelby's hands slowly found their way under his tee shirt, massaging his muscular torso. Scott's mouth moved to her neck, where he stayed for a while and soft moans started escaping from her mouth as he was kissing a special spot. His lips finally rejoined her in a passionate kiss and she began working on his shirt buttons with her fingers. They continued making out hungrily for a few minutes until Shelby realized they couldn't keep on doing that any longer, knowing that Wendy was waiting for them and that Harmony and Martin were still home. "Scott." She whispered, slightly pulling away. She looked into his eyes and saw confusion in them. "Wendy…" She trailed off and he smiled sadly, disappointed that they had to stop the moment because of his sister. They both got up, straightening their clothes quickly. Scott was about to take her hand and walk with her then realized he couldn't even do that, which was really frustrating.

"We'd have to tell her, one day." He said with a hoarse voice and she nodded.

"I know…just, not now." She said quietly and pulled on her baby blue coat.

"Okay. C'mon, you have a friend to visit." He said with a small smile and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, leading her outside. They saw Wendy sitting in the car, with a pissed look on her face.

"What were you two doing? I'm like waiting for 10 minutes at least!"

"Change the radio station, Sis. That music sucks." Scott said ignoring her comment and climbing into the car. Shelby sat behind and rolled her eyes as Wendy turned to her with a smirk, hoping she would take her side, for once.

"He's right…" Shelby pointed out and Wendy stuck her tongue out at her.

"What is it with you two? Did you decide to team up just irritate me even more?" Scott and Shelby looked at each other through the driving mirror and exploded in laugher.

"Hey Jill, how're you feeling?" Shelby asked as soon as she saw she was awake. Jill put her book on the nightstand and smiled brightly at her two friends.

"Fine…it's nice to see you two, though."

"Nice to see you too. So, uh, sorry to be blunt, but what happened?"

"Please Wendy; I swear if you came to lecture me, you can go straight home, really!" She said offended and Wendy looked at her, angry.

"Look Jill, I am your friend, and it hurt me very badly to see you were overdosing! So, yes, I am going to lecture you, and you're gonna hear every word I have to tell you!" Wendy began then took her breath. Shelby, who didn't know how to react, just stood next to the door. "You are the dumbest girl I've ever know! Taking pills to be more performing! But what were you thinking? Didn't you ever see what damages it does to people on TV? God, I'm so mad at you! You could have been dieing yesterday! Shit, what's wrong with you?"

"Okay, I'm going to act like you just didn't insult me…I didn't take drugs, I was taking medicine for my shoulder and I overdosed by accident! How could you think I would be on acid?"

"I…I told her about…" Shelby stuttered and Jill shot her an angry look.

"How could you? You had promised!"

"I thought it was important telling her!" Shelby argued and Wendy sat down on a chair, tired.

"But I lied to you Shelby! I didn't want you to know I had to take this medicine because I knew you'd end up telling the coach!" She admitted and Shelby frowned, not quite understanding why she would tell the coach about a simple medicine treatment.

"Why would I?" She asked confused and Jill broke down. She let the tears freely falling down her cheeks while the other two girls stood up, awaiting for an answer.

"Because the doctor said that I was not supposed to play anymore with this treatment. I mean, never again." She admitted and Wendy looked up surprised.

"Just because of a broken shoulder?" Wendy asked her and she shook her head.

"No…I have a dysfunction…it just began from the shoulder. It's going to invade all muscle of my body if I don't stop any time soon…"

"Oh my god!" Shelby said pulling her hand on her mouth in shock. She couldn't believe something like that happened to a great girl like Jill. It wasn't fair at all.

"I'm sorry Jill, for jumping to conclusions."

"It's okay. C'mon here you two." She invited, opening her arms at them.

"I love you big sis." Wendy said emotionally and Jill chuckled a little, running a hand through the girl's hair.

"I love you too Tabby, and you too Princess."

"Tabby? Princess? Where the hell does it come from?" Shelby asked slightly surprised. She sat up at the edge of the bed and Wendy looked curiously at Jill too.

"I thought it would be nice and funny to found you two nicknames." She said and the three laughed a little at this. It was stupid, but it was a game they had since they knew each other and were inseparable.

"And who's Tabby?" Wendy asked, with a small smile.

"You Wendy…because you seem sweet like a cat but you can be fierce like a tiger… and you Shel, you just look like a Walt Disney princess like Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella…"

"You're too funny, you know that?" Shelby replied sarcastically and Jill chuckled a little, but then coughed.

"Yeah, yeah…"

"So, what are you going to do with your disease?" Wendy asked taking her hand in hers. Jill sighed and looked down at their hands intertwined.

"Cure myself and heal." She said simply with a shrug.

"And, uh, about basketball…" Shelby began and Wendy shot her a look. Jill sighed again and nodded.

"I talked to coach O'Connor this morning on the phone and he said he couldn't let me play knowing I was too ill and that it was dangerous. He's gonna name a new captain for the team." She stated and Shelby sighed at her turn.

"I bet that bitch of Rachel's gonna be happy…" She said bitterly and Jill laughed at her choice of words accompanying the name of her rival.

"I bet she isn't gonna be the one who's gonna take my place…" She said slyly and Shelby's eyes widened at the declaration, while a small satisfied smile appeared on Wendy's face. She didn't like Rachel at all. Last year, this one had tried to steal her place at president of their class…but she hadn't succeeded…though she was popular, but Wendy was always better.

"Really? Coach told you who he would assign to the post?"

"No, but he asked me about it, since I know every girl of the team…and when he asked me about her, I told him the truth…that she was self-centered, and stubborn and selfish…I don't think that she'll be the new captain…" She said mischievously and Shelby smiled happily.

"Good."

"When is your brother gonna take you back?" Jill asked and Wendy shrugged.

"Once he's finished with his game with the boys, I suppose."

"So, tell me, what did you do last night?" Jill asked her and Wendy looked at her with big eyes, completely surprised she would know about it…even Shelby didn't know about it…

"How do you know?" She questioned her and Jill let out a small giggle.

"Donna called me this morning to know how I was going…I didn't even know you two were friends together…so, what happened?" She asked excitedly and Shelby's interest grew too at the revelation.

"You were out last night? Scott is so gonna kill you!" Shelby childishly piped up and Wendy shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips.

"No, he's not, we already discussed things over and it's okay." She said proudly and Shelby rolled her eyes at her.

"How?"

"I threatened him."

"Bad girl…" Jill said and the three girls laughed.

"Hey girls!" Scott whispered as he entered the room 326 and saw Jill was resting. "How are you?" He asked her just for the sake of asking. He didn't know her a lot, though he had some classes with her since several years.

"Fine, just exhausted." She answered with a small smile. She noticed he had a lot of things in his arms and bit her bottom lip.

"Okay, I brought flowers and chocolate, just like you had asked me…" He said proudly at his sister who rolled her eyes at his discretion and subtlety.

"Red roses! Scott, are you in love with me?" Jill said with a squeal and Scott looked at her confused. The girl wasn't visibly cured of any drug.

"What?"

"Red roses symbolist love Scott. Everybody knows that." Shelby explained as she went over him and helped with the flowers and Scott slapped his forehead. How could he have not thought of that? He perfectly knew it! God, it wasn't like he had been born on Mars or something! Maybe he was just tired?

"Damn, I'm too stupid!" He muttered and Shelby shared a smile with him.

"No, it's cool, we could make out right now if you want?" She asked joking around and Scott laughed a little.

"Thanks but I'll pass. Can we go girls?" He asked and Wendy shook her head at him.

"Sure, just give me two minutes; I need to tell Jill something, alone." She replied and Shelby nodded with an understanding smile. It would leave her some more time with her secret boyfriend after all. So, who was she to complain? Wendy needed to talk to someone about what she had done last night and was sure Shelby wouldn't understand her feelings and judge her.

"She's tired Wendy. You'll tell her another day." Scott complained and Jill put her hand up to stop him.

"No…it's okay. I supported her two hours already; I can endure her for two minutes…just go please."

"Okay, see you soon Wendy."

"Bye Jill, take care." Shelby wished and followed Scott on the way out. Jill waved at the two blondes and noticed that their bodies' language was saying long about their feelings for each other. She didn't say anything though, it wasn't her place to tell Wendy.

"Yeah, bye Jill." Scott closed the door and walked with Shelby to the elevator. He pressed the button and Shelby waited in silence, noticing he was looking at her.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" She questioned hands on hips and he just smiled in response.

"No, you're just…beautiful." He shyly said and she bit her lip softly.

"Thanks. C'mon." She replied and they both entered the empty elevator. "Don't you find it strange that nobody uses with us?" She asked him as she watched people opting for the second elevator rather than the one they were into.

"Maybe they saw the look of desire I had on when I was checking you out?" He suggested, putting both his arms on each side of her face, his body covering hers. He leaned in and kissed her lips softly. "I missed you…while I was with the guys all I could think about was you." Shelby smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his face down for another kiss. Her lips met with his in a slow kiss. He slipped his tongue deep into her mouth, and she moaned in pleasure silently. They continued for a while not even noticing they had reached the ground floor. So, the elevator's doors closed again and it went up again. They only broke apart when they heard a sound, warning that they were reaching the basement. They chuckled against each other's mouths and Scott pressed the ground floor button while Shelby straightened her clothes and wiped her mouth. "You wanna go back to the car or wait here?" He asked as they walked into the hall of the hospital. They saw a small shop and Shelby looked at the show windows.

"As you want…" She answered distractively and Scott decided he preferred to stay as he saw there were candies and food inside. He entered the shop and Shelby looked at him surprised, standing behind. He turned around and held out his hand.

"Well, c'mon then…I'm hungry." He grinned and she smiled at the cute face he made.

"I was thinking about taking driving instruction soon…my mom told me Walt could help me with it first, but I was wondering if you were okay to give them to me." She asked as they were on their way to the back of shop were cakes and candies were. He considered her proposition for a few seconds and nodded.

"Sure…I mean, if you promise to be careful with the car and listen to me."

"Of course!" She said excitedly jumping in his arms. She kissed his cheek soundly and released her grab. "Plus it'll be a good excuse to see each other…" She said slyly and he grinned down at her.

"That's a mastermind plan you cogitated…" He smiled and she chuckled at him.

"I know…oh, here comes Wendy…she did quick." It was right, even if they had taken their time and had done twice the up and down in the elevator.

"I wonder how she even found us here."

"She knows you, and I guess she figured you would be hungry after your big effort."

"Stop teasing me, sweetheart." He said and she chuckled a little. Wendy smiled at them and took a chewing-gum tablet from a shelve. "Hey, I hope you're not looking forward for a free gum! You have your money, I have mine." He said to his sister and she smiled sweetly at him.

"C'mon, you know you're the best looking boy of the town! You don't need money! Besides, I am kinda broke." She complained and Shelby just shook her head at their childish behaviors.

"Really funny Wendy." He grumbled but she eventually got him to pay it for her anyway.
