Prologue

She tossed and turned in her bed. She cried out here and there also. It was another sleepless night for Miriam Elisabeth Lockhart. Every time she would sleep she'd dream of Shawn Brady, her Ex-Husband. It had been 7 long months since all the lies were exposed, and that everyone in Salem found out that Claire was actually Shawn's daughter and not Phillip's. Ever since that day, it had been Hell on earth for Mimi Lockhardt. Especially since all of Salem found out Mimi knew the truth of Claire and never told a word. Shawn was so disgusted to Mimi that he couldn't even say a word to her, but he did shove the divorce papers in her face. Mimi signed them without any protest she knew not to whine and cry in front of him or them.

2 months earlier from now Shawn and Belle were officially married. They finally became the family they always wanted to be. Poor Phillip, Belle threw him out the second she found out about Claire. Phillip was devastated and left Salem, he disappeared you could say. No one knew where he was at. Mimi tried to find him but it was useless. Phillip had a lot of money and connections, he made sure no one could find them. Mimi still lived in Salem, but hardly anyone acknowledge or talked to her.

Mimi sat straight up in bed. She had the nightmare again and as the tears poured down her face. Mimi wiped them away got up and walked to the window, it was a pretty night outside, all the stars shone brightly. The only person who didn't have any peace or luck was Mimi Lockhardt.

Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just the that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on

Mimi sighed as she went to her kitchen grabbed some liquor took some shots, and hoped it would soon make her feel better, maybe sleepy so she could get some much needed rest. She had to be up early for work tomorrow, she couldn't have another sleepless night , it just could not happen. The last few nights she only had like 3 hours of sleep total, in a 48 hour time span. That was not good. Not good indeed. Mimi picked up a picture and held it to her chest as she walked back to her room and slipped into the bed, the tears were starting to fall once again, it was impossible not to be sad or in pain after all that Mimi had went through.

Mimi glanced down at the picture she held, it was one of the happiest days ever for her. It was the day when she became Mrs. Shawn Douglas Brady. She looked at their faces, she and Shawn were smiling so brightly in this picture. She held it again to her chest as the tears poured down her face like rain.

Mimi: When will the pain and sadness ever end(she whispered)

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

The Next Morning---6 am ...

Mimi was in a rush, if she didn't get a move on she would be late for work, and Mimi knew she couldn't afford to be late. Kate Roberts was a great boss but she did hate when her employees were late. Kate was one of the few people who still talked to Mimi in Salem, as for anyone else...it was wise to say Mimi was not very popular in Salem anymore. Even Caroline disliked her and it had to take a lot for that woman to dislike anyone. But Mimi didn't understand why was everyone always forgiving Belle, she was too blame in all of this too, but Belle always got away with almost everything in her life, so that was why.

Mimi grabbed her keys and purse and locked her doors and ran to the elevator, she didn't even realize who was also waiting for the elevator and yes "Them". There stood the Happy couple Shawn & Belle, they were both going to work themselves. Yes the sad thing is Mimi still live in the same complex as Shawn & Belle, so she had to endure seeing the Happily Married Couple almost everyday. It really did suck. Anyways Mimi walked in the elevator and so did Shawn and Belle. Mimi wouldn't look at them, she just couldn't, she was afraid she'd break down right in front of them, and she didn't want that so she made sure she had this don't mess with me attitude on her face, but behind that, she was crying.

Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny
I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore

Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Mimi sighed...she didn't mean for it to come out loudly at all...Belle looks at her... she didn't look mean or mad or anything like that. Belle just gives her a half smile.

Belle: Meems, are you okay?

Mimi was shocked, she couldn't believe Belle asked her if she was okay, the lump in her throat was apparent, she looked in Belle's eyes, she saw Shawn looking at her also. She was shaking she knew. Her face was so white.

Belle: Mimi are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost...please tell me your okay?

Mimi: I'm fine, thank you.. I just wasn't expecting you to say anything to me...thats all...

Belle: I know a lot has happened, and I wish it never did happen but it did, but I think the past should be behind us all, and we try to start over, as long as you want to?

Mimi glanced at Shawn now, his eyes quickly turned away from her as he shuffled to his right, apparently he was uncomfortable with this situation. Mimi then collasped to the floor..

And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for you

Belle: Mimi(she screamed)

Belle was right on the floor in the elevator beside Mimi, as she held her head on her lap, Shawn was now down crouching at Mimi trying to feel a pulse, it was very very light.

Shawn: She barely has a pulse... Belle...

Belle: Oh Dear God...will this elevator hurry up... Shawn call 911

Shawn: Alright..(he got his cell out fast but before he could dial he heard her angelic voice again)

Mimi: No its fine Shawn don't call them, I just didn't eat much today thats why I fainted, please don't call the paramedics, I don't need them , besides I'll be late for work if I go.

Belle: Mimi, your more worried about your job then your health?

Belle helped Mimi up, Mimi stood up and leaned on the side of the elevator to stop herself from falling again. She tried to smile at both of them but it was so hard.

Mimi: I'm fine. Its just from all the stress, and anxiety that I've been through the last few months, thats all it is , I'll be fine. Mimi is tough.

Belle just nods her head at her, Shawn looks away once Mimi catches him staring at her again, and soon the door finally opens, after what it seemed like a eternity in the elevator, Mimi practically ran out of it, and outside. The fresh air hit her skin as it awoke her. She walked to her car and got in... thats when the emotion came out. The tears fell fast, and Mimi's body just shook as she cried and cried. But little did she know Shawn saw it all.

Shawn stared at the beautiful woman in her car crying her eyes out, he knew she was still heart broken and hurt, as he saw her whole body shake, he prayed she'd be okay someday, he knew she would. Even though she did keep a lie to him, he still felt like a awful person. She told him when Rex left she felt dead inside, and when she moved on with Shawn and told him she cared and loved him, that was a big step for her, and she told him if He'd ever leave her, she'd be afraid of what would happen to her. Yet, Shawn calmed her fears and told her, he would never do what Rex did to her, and Leave her. But yet he did. Shawn felt like a monster. But he shook his thoughts as he heard his wife call to him to get a move on which he did, he glanced back at Mimi one more time and prayed to himself, that she'd be okay.

Here I go again
I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Mimi cleaned herself up, she knew she had to look like a mess, she took her pills out of her purse and took them both. They helped her with her anxiety. She had bad anxiety attacks. She looked at the time, She was going to be late if she didn't leave now, she pulled her car out and drove off to her job, not knowing what else would happen. Lets just say Time Heals all wounds, but as for Mimi, Time was no friend to her and it wouldn't be for months for her.

Mimi did not see the light change, as she glanced up from turning her radio station that is when she slammed into a huge truck, as her car spun out of control , the last thing Mimi saw...was her wedding day to Shawn...
