Destined Desire
Chapter 2: Cat's Out the Bag
Jason couldn't take it any longer and finally spoke up, "Shawn, stop."
Shawn turned to him, "How could you man? You of all people, why would you do something so… So backstabbing. And to me you friend, your best friend? Remember it was always you, Brady, Philip, and me? What changed? What made you do what you did to me? You and Belle both (he continued turning to Belle)? Belle, I thought you loved me, why would you sleep Jason?"
Belle couldn't answer him, "I don't know Shawn, I don't know. But I do love you, Shawn please don't leave me. Don't ever leave me. I love you" she said getting to her knees and holding his hands kissing it through her veil.
Shawn looked up to God. His eyes were sore and red. Yet he continued to cry and sob up future tear downpour but it couldn't be stopped. His anguish and pain was in the way he now carried his shaken body.
Hope stood watching her son, wanting to reach out to him but Bo wouldn't let her, "He's got to handle this himself Fancy Face." And she couldn't help but cry loudly. Her soon was in the most pain of his young life and she couldn't do anything to prevent heartaches like this.
Without a word being said Shawn dropped Belle's hand and stepped off the alter. He began to walk out the chapel until he reached the doors and turned to his friends and family, "I'm sorry. There is not going to be no wedding today, nor any future one. Sorry I wasted everyone's time for the lie I lived and believed in. (Directing his attention to Belle and placing a hand over his broken heart) Sorry for holding something in my heart that I thought was so sacred that was only a one sided affair."
And not even looking at her Shawn placed his hands on the doors handles and said, "Belle keep the ring. It means nothing to me now. Once upon a time, a long time ago, it stood for everything. Now it stands for what your definition of love is. Secrets, betrayal, and…(sighing he said) A love gone past."
Shawn left the chapel it didn't even look back. He let the tears soak his face and as he stepped to the outside he noticed the limo's that was awaiting the arrival of the bride and grooms party. That would take them to the reception.
Walking to no place unparticular he walked mindlessly to any destination that meant far from hurt. But judging from this hurt, he vowed to never let anyone get this close again. With new goals he was going to find his destiny outside of Salem. Because that's where it lay.

Philip walked over to place a confronting arm around Belle, "I'm sorry Belle. I just couldn't not tell him. I didn't think he would walk out on you. It's all my fault and I'm so sorry" he cried to her. Belle didn't slap away when Philip came to comfort her.
"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have kept it from him so long. I know he doesn't like secrets. And this is all my fault. I just wish I knew where he went to make sure he doesn't hurt himself," Belle said softly.
Brady looked to his little sister and said, "I'll go find him and try to talk some sense into him."
"NO BRADY!" Belle jumped from Philips arm and stared at Brady, "No, don't you go trying to fix my problems. I did this to myself. Just go find and check on him, please…" she begged.
Brady nodded to the terms and left the chapel. He hopped into his silver cougar and thought to himself, 'I come back into Salem only to enter drama. I was better off staying back in New York with Chloe. I wonder what my lady is up to?' But before he could dial her number he saw Shawn slumped on a bench looking down to the sidewalk.
Brady pulled along side him and rolled down his window, "Need a lift?"
Shawn didn't even feel like arguing so he stepped into the passenger side of the car. Not wanting talk about what happened less than ten minutes ago, "So how's my best girlfriend doing? I'm glad I didn't invite her now. Not after I spoke her ear off about how wonderful Belle is."
Brady couldn't blame him for saying the things he said the way he did but still, "Hey that's my little sister your fuming over about. But if you mean your best friend who happens to be a girl, Chloe? She's doing fine, I mean we're doing fine. I never really thanked you for introducing us. So let me do that now, is there anything I can get for you?"
Shawn thought for a moment, he really did want to discuss Chloe. He hadn't gotten to talk to her in 3 days since the wedding was approaching and he missed that. He really did miss her. "Can you get back the time that Belle felt so insecure about us that she cheated?"
Brady quieted as he had already began driving anywhere, "If only. And then if I could, I wouldn't. Some things are destined to happen. Then again, I don't know, ask me later and I might have an answer from my genius mind (he smiled to Shawn)."
"Yeah, right Brady," Shawn countered and laughed lightly. When the cell phone interrupted their small joy.
Brady answered with a smile but it dropped once he heard the other person speak frantically, "WHAT! What's wrong with her!?"
