Thanks for the comments! :)

To JCLadybug : Everyone in Horizon knows about Elaine and how CPS said she was innocent because of the love letters. She's still with Martin as he doesn't believe his son and is mad at him.


CHAPTER 2

The next morning, Scott went to Ezra. "I need some dope."

Ezra didn't get it, "What's wrong, man?"

"Can't tell, I just need some stuff right now, can you find me some or not?"

"I'll see what I can do," Ezra answered.

Juliette was right behind them, listening. They didn't see her. She knew something big was up and couldn't keep her mouth shut about it so she went to Peter's office. But she wasn't sure it was a good idea either. On the one hand it had to be really serious if Scott was asking for drugs. On the other hand he was her friend and ex-boyfriend. She was waiting by the door.

"Hey, Juliette, you gonna come in or just look at the door?" he tried a joke.

"Don't know yet, it's a pretty door." She joked back.

She could try to joke all she wanted Peter could read through her and noticed that something was wrong.

"Come on in and have a seat."

She came in and waited.

"How are you feeling today?" he started with a simple question, or at least he thought it was a simple one.

She didn't say a word and just looked into the room.

"What's wrong, Juliette, you can tell me anything."

"That's the thing," she started, "It doesn't concern me. I've heard something I shouldn't have heard and am not sure I should tell you."

"I think you know you should tell me otherwise you wouldn't have come to my office."

He gave her some time to process that. After a few minutes of silence she opened her mouth.

"It's about Scott. Just now I heard him talk to Ezra."

"That's good, Juliette, go on."

"He was asking him to get him some drugs," she said in a very low voice.

Peter was concerned right away. He knew it was something big.

"Thank you for telling me."

"But you won't tell him or anyone, I talked, right?" she asked confused.

"Don't worry, nobody will know you talked to me," he reassured her.

They were all having breakfast and Peter looked at everyone. He didn't have a plan in mind yet but just went to Shelby when Scott wasn't around.

"Shelby, I know that Scott probably talked to you about what's bothering him. Or at least I hope he did. Just know that I'm here to help any way I can if you just talked to me."

Shelby knew that Peter meant well but she couldn't betray Scott's trust.

"I know, thank you, Peter."

Peter knew that he wouldn't get a thing out of them and just had to be careful and watch. He also knew that Scott wouldn't simply go back to drugs just like that. He knew what got him started.

Oh no, please don't tell me she found a way to get to him again, Peter thought thinking of Elaine.

They didn't want him involved and he knew that even though he couldn't let her get close to him again it was best to find a good plan.

"Sophie, can I talk to you?"

"Sure."

"She came in his office and shut the door."

"What's up, mountain man?" she smiled.

"Not good news," he said.

She dropped the smile.

"Something's up with Scott, something big. He didn't tell me but I figured it all out. Someone heard him asking for drugs."

"Oh my God!" Sophie said.

"You said it! What's the reason he would be so upset and turn back to dope?"

"Elaine."

"Right. I'm sure she's coming here to mess with him again."

"Poor Scott!" Sophie was both sad and upset at the same time.

"I'm thinking of something, Soph. I know that we can't let that woman near him but on the other hand if we caught her with her hands on him we'd have a good case."

"And she'd go to jail for a very long time. This time Scott wins."

"Exactly."

"But is it fair to Scott?" Sophie wondered out loud.

"We won't let her touch him. I was thinking that we have someone watch him every second and that person will have a wire and record everything. We'll have a police car outside and as soon as she says those things and lays even one finger on him they catch her."

"I'm still worried about Scott," Sophie said.

"So am I. But it would be the very last time he ever sees her and she can mess with him. After that it's jail time."

"And about the drugs?"

"I'll have Ezra do some work and make sure he can't get close to Scott."

Peter kissed Sophie before she left his office.

The evening was near and it was starting to get dark outside. Everyone was having supper and Scott was waiting for the evil to come to the dorm.
