Next morning, Shelby woke up to Zoe and Cade sitting at the bottom of her bed.

Cade:"Lisa said we don't have to go in today because of what happened last night.  She said she will phone in the school."
Shelby:"Okay. How did you two sleep?"
Zoe:"The bed was so comfy."
Cade:"Sean had a good chat with me."
Shelby:"How is your face Cade?"
Cade:"Never better. Yours?"
Shelby:"Brilliant. Its only my lip."

Zoe gave Shelby a huge hug with her night teddy in her hand. Shelby returned the hug. She then pulled away. Zoe sat on Shelby's right.

Shelby:"If you guys wanna go back. That is fine. You can go back."
Cade:"No way. Even if it was the last place on earth. I would not go there."
Zoe:"I am staying with you."

Just then Lisa and Sean came in. They had smiles on their faces.

Lisa:"Morning sweetie. Good sleep?"
Shelby:"Yeah. Thanks."
Sean:"No problem. As long as you need. Now who wants to help make fairy cupcakes and then exploding cupcakes?"
Zoe:"Me me me."
Cade:"Count me in!"

Sean, Zoe and Cade left. Lisa came and sat down on Shelby's right side.

Lisa:"I have a few messages from Ethan and Grayson."
Shelby:"As long as its not their usual message I will be fine."
Lisa:"Ethan hopes for you to get better and says you can use his laptop if you want. And Grayson says after school do you want to go for a coffee with him."
Shelby:"I will message them later."
Lisa:"You get showered up and I will replace that bandage for you."
Shelby:"Okay thanks Lisa."

Lisa left. Shelby stretched and got out of bed. Her hoodie was sprawled out on an armchair in a corner of the room opposite the bed. She unzipped the pocket and took out her phone. She had messages from Ashley, Emma, Trent, Ethan, Grayson and her ex boyfriend from her old school in chicago Chase. Shelby answered all of them except Chase's one.
   Shelby left her phone on the armchair and walked into the hallway and into the bathroom on her left, two doors away from her bedroom. 10 minutes later she got out the shower and wrapped a towel round her. She walked back into the bedroom she was staying in. She forget she didn't bring any spear clothes. She grabbed her phone and texted Grayson.

Shelby:"Hey Gray. Can I borrow some of your clothes please."
Grayson:"Hey cutie. Yeah help yourself. How you doing?"
Shelby:"Good thanks. How is school?"
Grayson:"Shit. I got Mr Collins for English. Great fun. Ethan has fallen asleep."
Shelby:"Haha good old Ethan. Oh and yeah. I will have a coffee with you."
Grayson:"Great stuff. You better get dressed before your cute little ass gets cold."
Shelby:"Thanks. Have fun Gray. Meet you after."
Grayson:"Bye cutie."

Shelby put her phone on her bed and walked into Grayson's room. She opened his wardrobe and picked out a pair of black jogging bottoms, a white short sleeved t-shirt and the black matching hoodie. She walked back to her room. She put her bra on and then got dressed.

Later on that day, the twins got back from school and Shelby and Grayson left to go grab a coffee. They arrived at starbucks at 4:20. Shelby got them a drink each and sat down at the table opposite Grayson. He took his drink then looked at Shelby.

Grayson:"You alright?"
Shelby:"Yeah Gray. Why wouldn't I be?"
Grayson:"About last night."
Shelby:"I just wanna forget that Gray. I will face it when I'm ready."
Grayson:"Ok. Have you looked for other places to live yet?"
Shelby:"Yeah I did. Lisa helped me. But I need to get a job first. But then my mind justs wants to do YouTube."
Grayson:"Then do it. What is holding you back?"
Shelby:"Zoe and Cade. They come first."
Grayson:"Do it with them. Cade loves YouTube and Zoe loves being on camera and making people smile. Like you."
Shelby:"And how am I going to get the money for the camera?"
Grayson:"I will get it for you. No biggie."
Shelby:"No way Gray. I can earn it myself."
