Belle stared at Drew, a mixture of emotions flickering across her face, desire, love, hate, pain. She had no idea why she felt so mixed up. She knew that she wanted to be with him so badly, but what with the whole Amanda debacle, she really didn't want to have anything to do with anyone that was linked with that cheap skank. Peter was as bad. He was obviously blinded by his "love" for her and they made the perfect couple, as far as Belle was concerned. Two blonde bimbos. Perfect.

In a moment, everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.

Drew felt Belle's eyes on him and instead of thinking about his own problems, his thoughts instantly went to her. He knew that she had strong feelings for him, but that she was currently with Lucas. He had told her many times to let Lucas go and be with him, but she had stubbornly stayed with Lucas, as if to defy everything that Drew said to her.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,

Belle thought back to their previous relationship, the passion, fire and almost animalistic nature when they were together. But she knew one thing. She needed time to sort it out with Lucas and to tell him it was over. She knew she shouldn't keep dragging it on, but she just didn't want to be like Amanda. She didn't want…she couldn't be…oh hell. It was useless to think of any reasons why Amanda was a good person.

Fly


Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

Belle ran out of the Diner surprising everyone including Steph and Ric who were approaching the Diner when Belle suddenly rushed past them. They stopped, Steph turned to Ric, said something to him and she went after Belle while Ric headed into the Diner.

Steph found Belle sitting on the beach crying hard. She walked up to Belle and quietly said "Belle, what's the problem? Can I help?" Belle, not turning around, replied "Go away Drew, I don't need your criticisms now or ever." Steph grinned then said "Do I look male?" Belle turned around and flung herself into Steph's arms sobbing hysterically. "Im so confused Steph, I don't know what to do. I love Lucas, but I can't deny my feelings for Drew either. I need help!" she cried, tears streaming down her face. Ric, having spotted the two, approached at a safe distance so as not to startle Belle who looked like she was having a major war within herself.

Steph, sensing his hesitant approach, quietly said something to Belle who nodded. Steph motioned for Ric to approach. He quietly came up and stood just behind Steph so as not to overwhelm Belle.

Ric suddenly had a brainwave. "Hey, how about we all take a drive to the lookout? Its quiet up there and you can scream and yell as much as you like Belle." He said, trying to brighten Belle's unhappiness.

Belle took to the idea instantly. She nodded enthusiastically. She loved hanging around with Ric and Steph. Steph in particular. Belle had taken a real shine to her when she had gone to see Ric about something but hadn't the courage to talk to him, so had approached Steph instead, and Steph had given her the advice and support she had been craving for so long.

Steph also agreed. "This place is just too open. The lookout is perfect. I was going to suggest my house but people may think we have kidnapped Belle." "Sorry" she added hastily seeing the look on Ric's face. Belle brushed the comment off with a wave of her hand. "No problem" she said, looking happier than she had in days.
