Part 2
All the cliffhangers except David and Daisy hurried into the lodge once they heard the horrible news. Peter and Sophie stood in the lodge near the fireplace watching the whole school pile into the small lodge. The Cliffhangers all crammed onto the same sofa with worried faces. Peter crossed his arms a glum expression on his puzzled face. Sophie's sky blue eyes were filled with tears. Juliet ran over to hug her, as did Miranda. Scott walked up next to Peter.
"Peter what happened? Is Shelby okay?" Scott asked looking Peter in the eyes.
"Shelby should be fine, Chris is in a coma and they're both in the hospital. I'm flying there later tonight, I'm sure Shelby's going to be okay." Peter said patting Scott on his broad shoulders.
"Let me come with you." Scott demanded.
"Scott, no. You can't if I let you go because then I'm expected to let the rest of the Cliffhangers go and I don't think that's the best for Chris and Shelby." Peter said turning towards Sophie.
"Fine, do whatever you want." Scott yelled to Peter's back.
"Scott!" Peter said turning around to talk to him but Scott was already gone. Scott walked out onto the cold grass clutching his blonde hair with his hands. "God Shelby needs me." He said looking up at the sky. "If you can help her and keep her safe please do. I love more than she knows and bring her safely back to me." Scott said walking towards the boy's cabin.
David sat down next to Auggie and Juliet smiling to himself. He clasps his hands in his lab and smiled at Juliet and Auggie. Juliet scrunched up her tiny nose and looked at Auggie. "David what are you so happy about?" Auggie asked looking at David.
"Well between you and me man, I just got the good from Daisy." David said in a low voice.
"What? Daisy? No way that's your dream." Auggie said starting to get up with Juliet behind him.
"No man I'm serious, we just did it in the boys cabin. Daisy's still asleep over there." David said smiling yet again.
"Did you pressure her? Cause if you did then I have Auggie and Scott hurt you." Juliet screamed. Peter and Sophie turned around looking shocked by Juliet's tone. "Sorry Peter, sorry Sophie, It's nothing." Juliet said turning back to Auggie and David. Peter and Sophie turned back around continuing to talk to a few other students.
"Think whatever you want to Jules. Daisy wanted to it was her idea so leave it at that." David said and then joined another boy to play a board game.
"I can't believe it." Auggie said shaking his head.
"I don't want to believe it." Juliet said holding Auggie's hand.
Scott walked into the boy's cabin turning on the light. Scott's blue eyes widened with shock as he looked down at a naked Daisy with only a red blanket wrapped around her pale body. Her dark brown hair was pulled around her face and her usual gloomy face was a smile. Scott stood there for a few minutes holding his breath what was he to think, what was he to do. Had Daisy done it with David or Ezra? Scott slowly walked over to Daisy. "Dais, are you awake?" he asked sitting down next to her. "Daisy?" A sleepy Daisy rolled over to face Scott as she whipped sleep from her tired eyes. She blinked in fright as she saw Scott peering down at her.
"What the heck are you doing in here Scott, get out." Screamed Daisy as she pushed him off the bed. "Go away."
"Daisy, this is the boy's cabin, my cabin and you're the one that's not suppose to be in here." Scott said picking himself off the wooden floor. "So was it Ezra or David?" Scott asked folding his arms across his chest and looking at Daisy.
"What are you talking about?" Daisy said as she pulled her knees up to her chest and pulled the blanket tighter around her shaking body.
"Well look at you, your naked in the guest bed with a blanket wrapped around you. Now you tell me what I'm talking about now." Scott said.
"Get away from me now." Daisy said baring her face into her hands.
"Daisy you have to talk to me. You have to tell me. Or I'll go get Peter or Sophie." Scott yelled. Daisy was silent for a moment. She looked up from her knees tears running down her white cheeks.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Daisy said making room for Scott to sit down. He sat down at the very foot of the bed not leaving about a foot between Daisy and him. "Well, I don't feel like I'm going any were. I mean I feel like I'm going around in a circle and not getting anywhere. I mean do I like David or Ezra, Ezra or David. I keep asking myself that and I keep coming up with the same answer. Empty." Daisy said holding her hands together. "I was unhappy with myself and my life so I decided to do something that I thought might shake it up and tell me who I like better. It was kind of like a love test, you know if I really went threw with it with David then I loved him and if I didn't then I knew I had to love Ezra. The funny thing is I don't feel like I love anyone." Daisy said crying even more.
"Daisy, if I were you I would just go it alone for a while till you clear you head. I think that would be the smartest and best thing for you right now. I hate it thought that you did that with David. Was that you're first time?" Scott asked with a worried face.
"Yea what do you think Scott? That I've had a boyfriend before Horizon's, don't think so." Daisy said running her hand threw her thick hair.
"Oh, well that answers that question. I think you should talk to Sophie or Peter about this." Scott said standing up.
"No way I'll get in so much trouble. I can't Scott. I need a pregnancy test, to make sure I'm okay." Daisy said looking at Scott.
"Okay well I'm not the person that can help you with that." Scott said walking over to his bed.
"Who can?" Daisy said with a shaky voice.
"Well I'm sure one of the girls around here has one, ask around, I'll get Juliet to help or something." Scott said.
"Thanks Scott. Could you um go so I could get dressed?" Daisy said a small laugh in her voice.
"Sure thing. See yea later." Scott said smiling at Daisy as he left his sad friend alone.
Juliet walked into the lodge taking the phone from Sofia's hand. "Hi mom." Beamed Juliet as she clutched the cordless phone. "What? Mom you can't please don't." Juliet said into the phone. I want to stay with you when I get out of here. You can't make me go live with my dad in New York, I don't want to I hate him." Juliet screamed. "Whatever, I hope your happy don't ever speak to me again, ever." Juliet screamed slamming the phone back onto the receiver. "Sophie, my mother said once I get out of Horizon's she wants me to go live with my father in New York City. I hate him he's so mean to me, he does not even like me." Juliet said to Sophie as she ran out of the lodge.
"Juliet wait. Do you want to talk?" called Sophie as she shook her head. Juliet ran into the wash room holding a blade to her wrist. She sunk down in a basket of dirty launder and started slicing at her wrists. She clinched her teeth as she watched the rose red blood drop onto the launder. Juliet dropped the blade holding her wrist and rocking her body back and forth muttering this to herself. "I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back to him."
Miranda walked into the lodge sitting down with David, Scott, Ezra, and a few other random students. She looked at all of the kids. "So I know why you're all here. But do you all know why I'm here?" Miranda asked eyeing each kid.
"Yea, your like Juliet, and your mom's a real…" one of the students started to say.
"Yea but that's not the whole story."
"Well why are you here Randa?" asked David with an evil laugh.
"Because I killed a girl at my school because she would not stop talking about my family. I have a pretty screwed up home life and I couldn't take it. I just had to unleash my angry on someone. It was here or juvie. And considering my mom would never want me to go to some were her friends would turn there noses up at she picked this wonderful ::laughing:: place for me to stay. That's my story that's my life." Miranda said looking at Scott.
"Wow, you freak." One of the girls yelled.
"Hey shut up, you're a freak to." Scott yelled.
"Thanks Scott." Miranda said.
"Any time, any time." Scott said with a sad smile.
Peter walked room number 217. He signed his name on a piece of paper as he walked in to see Shelby. She lay awake on a white bed with white sheets. Her hair was pulled into a messy bun and her eyes were glum and dazed. She looked like she handn't slept in days. Peter waved as he walked into the room holding a small cup of water in his right hand.
"Peter you came." Shelby beamed smiling a weak smile as Peter sat down next to her. "Did the others come, I can't wait to see Scott." Shelby said craning her neck to look out the clear glass window.
"No Shelby they were not allowed to come. I'm sorry, they're really worried about you and Chris." Peter said hugging Shelby.
"Have you seen Chris? Is he awake? They have not told me anything." Shelby said her eyes widening.
"I just got here and I'm going over to his room next. Shelby I talked to one of the nurses. I don't think Chris is going to be okay." Peter said sadly.
"Peter that's not funny of coarse he's going to be okay. He's strong he'll pull threw." Shelby laughed starting to get up. She was too weak to move so she slid back down in her bed.
"Shelby I'm not joking, I'm really sorry. I notified his parents and they're on their way here. Chris has cancer and he over dosed on drugs the night you found him. He's not been taking his medication for the past two months. Shelby there's nothing you or anyone else can do for him. He's expected to life a few more days at the most. I'm sorry Shel, I know how much you love him." Peter hugged Shelby as she started to sob into his shoulder.
"Peter please, please don't let him die. Your suppose to help kids like us, you have to do something to help him." Shelby screamed. She started to kick with all her might as she pulled the wires from her arms. She tore the tubes from her nose and arms and wobbled out of her bed. She stumbled over to the door looking back at a confused Peter. "Don't let him die." She said as she turned the knob.
"Shelby, stop you have to rest. You have to stay in your room." Peter called running over to stop her. Shelby slammed the door in his face knocking him to the cold tile floor. "Shelby," Peter yelled. Shelby propped a car against the door to block it. She stumbled over to Chris's window pressing her face on the cold glass.
The Horizon's doctor walked into the lunchroom were Scott was on kitchen duty. He dried a clean plate then turned towards the doctor. "Hey doc, so did you get the results?" Scott said with a shaky voice.
"Scott, I have some bad news and some good news." The doctor said taking Scott aside. They walked together out of the lunchroom to Peter's office. Sophie and Frank were sitting in two chairs looking up at Scott.
"Well, that shank's done it again. There's no way I'm going to be a father to that evil stepmother's child. No way." Scott yelled at Frank and Sophie.
"Scott before you get the wrong message how about you be quite and listen." Frank commanded.
"Well Scott, the good news is that it's not your child…"
"Thank you god, yes thank you." Scott smiled looking up the ceiling.
"And now for the bad news." Sophie said.
"The bad news is that, it's not your baby but it is your father's baby." Scott's smile faded to a frown as he heard the words slip out of the doctor's mouth.
Chris lay his room. His heart was beating slowly as his weak chest heaved up and down. Shelby opened the door walking over to his bedside. She knew it was only a matter of minutes before a nurse came rushing in grabbing her and taking her back to her room, away from Chris. Away from her dying friend. Shelby held his hand as she started to talk to him.
"Chris, I know that the doctors said that you would not make it, but there wrong your strong you can make it if you just fight for your life. You have to try to life you have to. I won't let you leave this world with out living your life. I love you." Shelby said crying. Chris's eyes fluttered open as he looked at Shelby.
"What? Shelby?" Chris choked out as the monitor next to him started to beep. Nurses and doctors rushed in swarming around Chris. Shelby was pulled out of the room and sent back to hers. She watched them take Chris into the ER. Her heart was pounding and her life was slipping away.
