Shelby woke up to the sound of Sophie's voice. Her eyes shot open as if she was waking up from a bad dream but she really wasn't, she was simply surprised at Sophie's voice. Shelby looked at the clock next to her bed and saw that it was only 7:00 a.m.

"What the hell," Shelby moaned in her bed.

"That's what the heck, Shelby," Sophie corrected.

"What?" Shelby asked, barely awake.

"No swearing."

Sophie left the girls dorm so they could get ready.

All of the girls, save for Shelby, go out of their beds and started to get ready. Shelby stayed in her bed and tried to go back to sleep. Her attempts of going back to sleep were destroyed by Juliet singing 'Part of Your World' from The Little Mermaid. Shelby's eyes opened and she looked to Juliet.

"Do you have to do that?" Shelby asked.

"Yes," Juliet replied shortly and went back to singing. "What would I give if I could live out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand? Bet ya on land, they understand. Bet they don't reprimand their daughters. Bright young women, sick of swimmin', ready to stand."

Shelby did her best to ignore Juliet but it was impossible. She finally got out of bed when she realized that trying to go back to sleep was futile. Shelby walked into the bathroom and looked into her reflection. She was finally starting to get use to it but she was still always a little surprised for she still didn't remember who she was.

After all the girls finished getting ready, they decided to go down to the kitchen for food. The food wasn't the most desirable food but it was better than nothing so they had very minimal complaining. Juliet finally stopped singing 'Part of Your World' which Shelby was grateful for but her thank you quickly disappeared when Juliet started singing 'Kiss the Girl'. Great, she went from singing one The Little Mermaid song to singing another, Shelby thought.


All the girls walked into the cafeteria and, surprisingly, made it there before the boys did. They got their food and sat down at the table and started to eat. It's been three days since Shelby's been back so she was use to this routine by then. The girls were silent until their heads shot up when they heard the boys walk in and then they started to talk when the boys sat down.

Since everyone sat in their normal seats, Scott sat next to Shelby but he was still silent. It wasn't that Scott didn't like Shelby or wasn't happy that she was awake or anything like that but he missed his Shelby. He missed the Shelby who loved him as much as he loved her and the Shelby who knew exactly what to do to make him go absolutely crazy.

Shelby was still feeling guilty about how Scott was acting. She knew that she had no control over Scott's emotions but she also knew that if she had woken up with her memory that Scott would be happy, not upset and not missing his girlfriend. Shelby looked at Scott carefully but once he went to look at her and she saw it, she turned away quickly.

Everyone else talked through out breakfast but Scott and Shelby both stayed silent as they thought about each other. Scott simply missed his Shelby and felt like he needed her there or he wouldn't be complete and Shelby felt very similar. She wasn't sure why, but she felt like there was something missing in her with Scott ignoring her.

Breakfast finished quickly and Peter announced that it was time for group. Shelby's been having to participate in it for a couple of days but she still wasn't completely use to it. She didn't understand how having to tell complete strangers her problems would help her especially because she didn't remember the problems she had that landed her at Horizon in the first place.

Everyone walked into the lodge and sat down in the chairs arranged for them.

Peter looked around slowly and said, "Okay, simple group this morning. 'I feel' and you have to explain why you feel that way. Juliet why don't you start us off."

Juliet nodded, smiled and said, "I feel good. I've had a good morning and I got an A on my Math test yesterday so I'm just happy. Auggie?"

"I feel good. Nothing's going on with me really," Auggie said. "E.Z.?"

"I'm fine, I guess. A little tired, but still fine. I got a good phone call from my Dad last night so I'm fine," He said. "David?"

"I'm tired and I want this over with," David said.

"David," Peter warned, clearly saying that what he said was not an appropriate answer.

"Fine. I'm tired because I didn't sleep all that good last night due to a letter from the General," David said addressing his Father as 'the General'. "Daisy?"

"I'm fine," Daisy said. "I'm actually happy because when I read my cards this morning, they predicted something great. Shelby?"

"I feel incomplete," Shelby said as she looked at Scott. "I'm not sure why I feel this way but I feel like I lost part of me and I don't mean my memory. I feel like I need someone to talk to me and they won't. Scott?"

"I feel..." Scott drifted off as he looked at Shelby. "I don't know what I feel right now."

"Just tell us something, Scott," Peter said.

"I'm confused," Scott answered and took a deep breath. "I'm confused because I don't know why I feel like I should be missing someone when they're right in front of me."

Scott was looking at Shelby when he answered. He felt like he was still missing Shelby even though she was right in front of him and has been for days. He knew it wasn't fully his Shelby for she didn't have the memories with him but it was still Shelby. The beautiful blonde sitting in the chair next to him was still the woman he loved and he couldn't understand why he felt like she wasn't.

Slowly, and it seemed reluctantly, they looked away from each other. Everyone was looking at them but Scott gave a look that clearly said for them to stop and they did for no one wanted to anger him. Scott and Shelby would glance back at each other every few moments but then would look away just as quickly.

"Okay, you guys are dismissed," Peter said as he was watching Scott and Shelby.

Everyone was relieved to be released from group but Scott and Shelby seemed to be the most relieved. It was getting very strange for them to be around each other.

They both wanted to be with each other but Shelby couldn't comprehend why her body or mind wanted Scott so bad. Shelby knew that her and Scott were together but if she couldn't remember him, then how come she still wanted to be with him? Shelby watched Scott as he walked out of the lodge and a sigh left her lips.

"That was strange," Daisy said and moved over by Shelby.

"I don't know what's going on," Shelby said and shook her head. "I feel like I want to be with him but I don't know why. I don't even know him."

"Yes, you do. You just don't remember that you know him."

"Still. I don't know anything about him. If I was in the right state of mind, I'm sure me and him would be all over each other, I can tell."

"That's very true. You two use to get in trouble all the time for your public displays of affection."

"I can just tell by how my body reacts when he's near that me and him are meant to be together," Shelby said and smiled. "I just wish me not having a memory wouldn't be so weird for him."

"Well, maybe you should talk to him and let him know that you feel like that," Daisy said.

"Oh, yeah, 'cause that would be an easy conversation," Shelby replied sarcastically.

"It wouldn't be easy but it's necessary. He deserves to know that even though you don't have your memory that you still want to be with him."

"I don't know if that's what I want though. I just know that him ignoring me and not being there hurts me."

"You have to talk to him, Shelby," Daisy said. "That's the only thing that's going to help."

Daisy patted Shelby on the thigh and walked away. She left the lodge silently which left Shelby to think more about what she was going to do about Scott. She knew that Daisy was right and that she had to talk to Scott but she had no idea where to begin with such a complex issue. Another sigh left Shelby's lips as she thought more about it.


Scott walked down to the docks and went strait to the bench where him and Shelby use to meet all the time. He sat down and ran his hands through his hair.

Group got him thinking about the whole situation with Shelby and why he was ignoring her. He didn't even really know why he was but he figured it was because he knew, deep down, that the Shelby who was there, wasn't the real Shelby; he figured that she couldn't be the real Shelby is she couldn't remember who the real Shelby was.

Scott leaned back and sighed. He wanted to be with Shelby and he missed her so much. He felt kind of cruel for being so cold to Shelby for he knew that she didn't deserve it for it wasn't her fault that she didn't have a memory; she had no choice in the matter. After what Shelby had said in group, Scott started thinking even more than usual about the situation. He couldn't stop himself from wondering what she meant by feeling incomplete.

"Hey," Peter said as he walked up next to Scott.

"Hey," Scott replied and looked up at Peter.

"How are you holding in there, Scott?" Peter asked.

"What do you mean?"

"This situation with Shelby has been hard on all of us but I can imagine that it's been the worst with you."

"It is hard. I know that she's Shelby and I know that none of this is her fault but I just feel weird acting natural around her."

"That's understandable. But, by what both of said in group today, it's pretty obvious that you two still want to be with each other."

"Of course I want to be with Shelby, but I want to be with the real Shelby."

"She is the real Shelby, Scott," Peter said. "Just because she doesn't remember who she is, doesn't mean she's less of who she was before."

Peter's words made Scott think about that. He was right in the way of saying that Shelby wasn't any less herself just because she doesn't have her memory but it was still so strange for Scott to just act like nothing's wrong.

"I guess you're right," Scott said and leaned forward to rest his elbows on his thighs. "But I can't just act like nothing happened and go back to how things use to be."

"Then don't," Peter said. "Don't try being how you two were before the accident."

"Then what should I do?"

"Go slow. Not ignoring her would be a nice start."

"Yeah, I've been a little cruel with that," Scott agreed and felt even worse about doing that now.

"Try talking to her, Scott. She's not any different than how she was before the amnesia," Peter said.

Peter patted Scott on the back as he nodded and walked away. Peter gave Scott as much advice as he could and now it was up to Scott to figure out what he was going to do with the advice.

Scott leaned back into the bench again as another sigh left his lips. He, obviously, wanted to talk to Shelby but he thought it would be too strange for both of them. Just a couple of weeks ago, they couldn't keep there hands off each other and they were madly in love but then the accident happened and now Shelby doesn't even know who she is. Having something like that happen is bound to cause some troubles in a relationship.

Scott stood up from the bench and started to walk to class. Before he even fully left the docks, he looked back and thought of how him and Shelby use to always sneak out and meet there. The thought caused a smile to pass onto Scott's face and for him to momentarily close his eyes. When his eyes opened, it was as if he could see him and Shelby sitting on a bench in each other's arms laughing or kissing or just merely enjoying each others presence. He closed his eyes again and when he opened them again, the sight was gone.

The smile left Scott's face and his eyes glazed over with unshed tears. He missed Shelby too much for his own good. And it wasn't just Shelby that he missed, but how he felt and how he was when Shelby was with him; he was always so happy when she was there and she never had to do anything special, she just had to be there. Scott rubbed his eyes before the tears had a chance to fall and turned away from the docks to walk to class.


While Scott was sitting in Chemistry, all he could do was watch Shelby. Shelby was taking the notes that Jeff was writing on the board and Scott couldn't help but look at her. Shelby took her free hand and started to play with her hair. She twirled a strand of her blonde hair around one of her fingers and Scott smiled at the simple motion. It was things like that that made Scott go crazy at the mere sight of Shelby.

Scott looked down briefly and then back up at Shelby. She continued to play with her hair and Scott came to the conclusion that he was going to listen to Peter's advice and talk to her. He couldn't stand not being with her. Scott thought that it was pretty pathetic that it took so long for him to realize it but he figured it was better late than never.

The bell rang and everyone stood up from their seats. Shelby was out of the door quickly and Scott had to rush in order to catch up to her.

"Shelby!" Scott said while trying to catch up to Shelby.

Shelby heard Scott call her name and she paused. She recognized that it was Scott and was very surprised that he of all people was calling for her. After all, he had been ignoring her since she came home from the hospital. She turned around and waited for him to catch up.

"Yes?" Shelby asked once Scott was close enough for him to hear.

"Do you think we could meet up tonight at, like, 11:00?" Scott asked with them now standing face-to-face.

"Isn't that breaking the rules?" Shelby asked with a smile.

"We always use to break the rules," Scott told her. "So, will you meet me by the docks at 11:00."

Shelby thought seriously about it. If it was something that she always did than Peter shouldn't be surprised if he caught her doing it but it was still breaking the rules. Shelby always had a little thing for breaking rules and she thought that rules were made to be broken. With, or without a memory, that was something that wasn't going to change with her.

Normally, she would've said 'yes' in a heartbeat but she also thought Scott deserved a little bit of suffering for he made her suffer for days by ignoring her. She was going to say 'no' to make Scott suffer.

"Please," Scott pleaded.

Shelby looked up at Scott and saw in his beautiful, blue eyes how much he truly wanted to meet with her that night and that made Shelby completely forget about saying 'no'.

"Okay," Shelby agreed.

The two teenagers smiled to each other and then went their separate ways. Neither of them really knew what to expect from their meeting but they both knew that they had to talk to each other. They missed each other too damn much. Shelby may not have a memory but she knew that she wanted to be with Scott regardless.

This chapter is pretty short(well, compared to my other updates lately) but I wanted this one and the next one to separate. I hope everyone enjoys it anyhow. I think I like it, it wasn'tvery difficult to write either. But, it's really all up to you guys so please review.

Also, I have this on my main page too but I'll post it here as well. There's this new Higher Ground Role Playing Game that I'm a part of and we're trying to get more people to join. We don't have a lot of the cannon characters taken, we have a Shelby(me) a Scott, A Peter, Juliet, Sophie and an Alice and I think that's it. We have a lot of made ups and we welcome them.
