"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST BRING HER BACK!!" Shelby screams at me with Jake holding her back. "YOU BROUGHT YOUR MOM BACK NOW BRING BACK MINE!" she screams more after I explained everything to her. "Shelby please listen to me! I didn't know I could!! I don't even know how I did" I yell at her. Shelby falls out of Jake's arms and looks down at her hands while many tears fall and slide down her cheeks. "What are these?" Shelby says a little calmer, motioning to the cuts on her arms. "A message from Christopher. Come here. I want to try something." I tell Shelby. She scoots closer. She's a lot calmer than before.

She sits right in front of me and I grab her wrists. I concentrate on healing and pointing all my energy to the cuts on her wrists. "Holy shit" Shelby says as she tries to pull her hands away but I squeeze my hands tighter around her wrists, keeping them still. I concentrate as much as I can on memories and I continue to focus all my energy on her cuts and bruises and scratches on her body. I open my eyes and pull my hands away and.... the cuts are gone. "What the fuck?" Shelby says while looking at her arms where the cuts used to be. "Wow I-I know how to do it." I say excitedly and look towards Jake. He smiles at me and leans down to give me an amazingly hot kiss. "Congratulations. Maybe we can celebrate later" he whispers in my ear. My cheeks heat up and a chill runs down my spine. I still haven't had you know what with Jake.... but I'm scared! No I'm just scared because of what Christopher did. I'm fine. Damnit.... we have school tomorrow. "We still have school tomorrow guys. Shelby I'm sorry but everything that has been said and done in this house can not leave this house. You musn't tell anyone. Do you understand?" I ask her "Yes, I understand. I promise but this week is fall break so I'm pretty sure we are good." she smiles and I know she is telling the truth. "Good. Your mom was taken to the hospital and they asked how it happened. We said that it was a wild black dog. That is the story okay?" Shelby nods as a tear slips down her cheek. "Where am I going to stay? My da-" I interrupt "You will stay here. We will go and pick up your stuff and pack up everything later but for now everyone needs to take a rest. It's almost midnight" Jake says. "Seriously?" I say as I look at my wrist watch that my dad got me for my 15th birthday and it is 11:32. "Lets go."

Shelby ends up falling asleep on the couch and at 12:00 I'm still awake talking to Jake whose laying right beside me. Shirtless. He starts to stroke my cheek and whispers. "I wouldn't mind celebrating what you did soon. I mean only if you want to celebrate with me" He starts to climb on top of me and holds my wrists down. I smile and my cheeks practically turn into tomatoes. "Only if you're ready Elizabeth." he whispers in my ear. I think about it for a second. I mean we are both old enough and responsible. I smile and whisper shakily "I'm Ready". Jake looks at me and smiles slightly.
