Flashback~ Day after Graduation-Black Penthouse
"But, Belle, Don't you think last night was awesome," Mimi asked her best friend referring to the Last Blast Dance. "Yeah, Meems. It was great." Belle answered. The two were sitting in Belle's room, listening to Backstreet Boys and painting their toenails one last time before Belle had to start packing.
"I think my favorite part was when Kevin got Ms.Perez to allow me to dance with him," Mimi said sighing as she remembered how sweet he was, "What was yours?" "Oh I dunno, Meems. Maybe it was when Shawn decided to make things worse and tell me that he didn't love enough to tell me the truth about Jan. I swear Mimi, he wasn't even thinking of us," Belle said as the tears began welling up in her eyes. "Oh Belle. He was thinking with his heart. He wanted to help someone." Mimi replied. Belle collapsed on her bed in tears and suddenly all the sadness and anger she had contained came out. "Why? Why did he have to help her? Why did he have the lie to me? How could have fallen in love with him and want to run to him but feel as though I can't?" Belle sobbed. "Oh Belle. Go to him. He told you the truth." Everything was quiet for a few minutes before Belle spoke swiftly and quietly, "The only thing I am going to do now is pack and leave. After last night I called and canceled my enrollment to Columbia. I'm gonna go see the world and clear my head for a while." Mimi stood shocked.

'Belle, I can't let you leave without seeing how we belong together. I need you too much.' Shawn thought as he stood outside the door. Suddenly he got an idea and ran out of the Penthouse. When he arrived at his destination, he knocked on the door. When it opened, he spoke with a concerned look on his face. "Belle isn't going to New York. I need your help to stop her from leaving me."
