Chapter 9- Farewell
"So, what're you gonna do?" Logan asked. He sat on Belle's bed, as she leaned against the wall. "I don't know," she admitted. Belle had just received a call from '20 Century Fox,' the movie producing company. She was to co-star with Taylor Lautner in a new movie called, 'If Love Could Choose.'
Of course, Logan was the only person who knew. She was to leave that evening to go to England to shoot the movie.
Belle slumped to the ground. "What am I gonna tell Carlos," she wailed. They'd been together for two weeks. Of course, James had gotten over it and he and Carlos were best pals again. "Just tell him the truth. He'll understand," Logan encouraged.
"Understand what?" Logan and Belle turned to the direction of the voice. Kendall stood by the bedroom door. "H-how'd you get in here?" Belle demanded. "The door wasn't locked," Kendall informed. He took a seat on the floor.
"So, what are you guys talking about?" "Belle has to go to England for ten months," Logan informed. "Logan!" Belle yelled. "What?" Logan asked. "So what's the problem?" Kendall inquired. "Carlos," Logan told him.
"Logan! Stop telling him!" Belle yelled. "What? He's gonna find out any way," Logan said. "Find out what?" They turned to see Jo at the door. "Jo?" Belle asked. "The door wasn't locked." Just then, James and Camille walked in.
"Hey guys," they chorused. "I'm going to lock the door," Belle said.
When she came back, her friends were spread out in her room. Jo was sitting on the floor with Kendall and Camille sat on the bed with Logan. James sat on the office chair next to Belle's laptop. Belle returned to her position on the floor.
"So," Camille asked. "What were you guys talking about?" Belle watched in dismay as Logan and Kendall informed everyone of her situation.
"You should tell him," James encouraged. "Yeah. Carlos will understand," Camille agreed. "Understand what?" Everyone turned to see Carlos by the bedroom door. "H-how'd you get in?" asked Kendall. "Belle gave me keys," Carlos informed, dangling a pair of keys.
"So, what'll I understand?" Carlos inquired, leaning against the wall. Everyone turned to Belle. "Carlos, can we talk in the kitchen?" Belle asked. "Um, sure," Carlos said, nervously.
He helped her up and they left everyone in the kitchen. "Well?" Carlos asked. Belle stared at her feet. "Belle? Did I do something wrong?" Belle looked up at him and chuckled, even though tears had started to stream down her face. "No Carlos. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just..." She looked at the floor again.
"Just what?" Carlos pondered. "I have to go to England this afternoon to shoot a movie for ten months!" The words came out so quickly that Belle completely shocked herself. She slumped to the floor and started crying.
Carlos stooped to the floor next to her and hugged her. "There, there, Belle. It's gonna be alright," he comforted her. She gripped onto him. "But I won't be seeing you again for ten months!" she cried. "But we can call each other and talk on the webcam. It'll be alright," he reassured her.
She let go of him and stared into his eyes. "You promise?" she sobbed. "I promise. We love each other. Ten months can't change that." He got up and pulled her up with him. "Now come on. We've gotta pack. My girlfriend's gonna be shooting in a movie soon. I've gotta make sure she looks beautiful." Belle smiled.
"Carlos?" "Yeah?" Belle hugged him. "I love you.".
