Chapter 3 Justin arrived home a short time later. He looked around the house for Shelby, but she was nowhere to be found. ‘Where could she be?’ he wondered as he stumbled across a piece of paper where he had left her limp body only a few hours ago. It was a note, a note from Lance. J,   I took Shelby to the hospital. Lance “I knew it.” Justin said as he crumbled the note up and stormed out of the house. “He’s going to pay for this.” He said as he got into his Benz and sped off. ~*~*~*~*~* Just then Shelby awoke. She looked cautiously around her surroundings. It only took her a few moments to realize she was in the hospital. ‘But why?’ she asked herself.’ And who brought me here?’ She wondered. She tried to move but couldn’t. Lance was still next to her with his arms around her. That was when he was awoken. “Your up.” Lance said as he slowly sat up on the edge of the bed. “ You scared me.” He said with stretch. “Sorry Dad.” Shelby replied playfully before looking down. She knew he was going ask what happen, but how would she tell him. ~*~*~*~*~* As Justin sped to the hospital his cell phone rang. He quickly snapped it up and answered it. “Timberlake.” He said as he made a sharp turn onto Spencer Drive. “Hey Justy.” A Voice he just heard not to long go. “ You sound busy are you?” the whiny voice asked. “Ya Think Brit?” Justin replied. “ You were right. She’s cheating on me with Lance.” He said he made another sharp turn on to Oliver Blvd. “ You gonna make him pay for it?” Britney asked. “ You bet.” Justin said as a smile came to his face. It would be only a few more minutes until he made Lance pay for it. ~*~*~*~*~ “What happen?” Lance asked Shelby a few moments later as he brushed a strain of her strawberry blonde hair away from her green eyes. “I fell that’s all.” Shelby replied quietly. She was telling some of the truth but not all and Lance knew it. “Are you sure?” Lance asked as he took a finger and raised her chin so she was looking into his cat green eyes. “ Yes.” Shelby replied. “You know you can talk to me anytime.” Lance replied knowing she wasn’t going to tell him the truth. “Thanks Lance.” Shelby said as Lance kissed her forehead. Just then someone walked through the doors of her room. Someone she didn’t want to see. Story Index
