Chapter Five: Mine, Mine, Mine
A/N: Thank you to Sasami for reviewing! I was afraid that I had exaggerated Belle's jealousy too much... Because, after all, Belle is one of my favorite characters :) I just like to make trouble... Hope you all like this chapter!
BELLE
It had been a month after the cheerleading tiff that Belle had with Ava. Ava, of course, was completely oblivious to the fact that Belle was angry that day because Belle never confronted her. After all, things had been going well between them. They were almost inseparable.
That was, until Belle started noticing Ava and Shawn's "special" relationship. She knew Ava wasn't "into" Shawn like that, it just seems as if they were close, too close. Whenever she was with them, she felt like a third wheel. It was like the two of them always had an inside joke going on, like they were in another world. She knew it wasn't the same relationship she and Shawn had, it was different. Like the kind she had with Brady. Either way, she saw less of Shawn/Belle, and more of Ava/Shawn/Belle.
Belle first started to notice their special relationship when the three of them were at the Brady Pub. Shawn was talking to his grandparents and Belle and Ava walked in.
"Ava!" Shawn said, hugging Ava. "Hey Belle, how's it going?" he said, kissing his girlfriend on the cheek.
"Great! So what -," Belle stopped mid-sentence, as her boyfriend was preoccupied with telling Ava about Isaac.
"What is going on?" Belle thought to herself. The trio sat down and talked about winter vacation and everything returned to normal after that. Sensing the "lovers" wanted time alone, Ava said that she had to leave, and so she left.
Things only got worse after that. At DotCom, Shawn and Ava sat at the same side of the table. The two spent more time together without Belle, and Belle found herself without Shawn more. The loving talks between boyfriend and girlfriend turned into Trio Chatter, courtesy of three-way calling. Yes, Shawn and Belle spent a lot of time together, just not as much. They still loved each other, but didn't show it as much.
It wasn't entirely Shawn and Ava spending more time together. Ava and Belle spent a lot of time together, also. But often, Belle lay awake at night, wondering if mentoring Ava was ruining things for her.
She knew that she and Ava were at the same level of intelligence, physical fitness, and charm. But Belle was afraid of being of second best to a thirteen-year-old. After all, what are people more awed by, a thirteen-year- old who can recite the periodic table of elements from memory, or a seventeen-year-old who got straight A's? And it proved true. Teachers praised Ava and students looked up (sort of... ha-ha) to Ava. But Belle? She was overlooked. Even her parents sometimes favored Ava to Belle. "Guess what, Mom? I got a 96% on that really difficult essay we had to write in AP English." "Oh, that's nice, honey. You know, Ava told me about that essay during our session today. She got a perfect score." It drove Belle insane.
She wasn't sure if she should continue to mentor Ava. After all, she was doing just FINE without her. At school, Belle finally had the courage to talk to Ava.
Finally Belle said, "Ava, we need to talk."
AVA
(The story starts from where last chapter left off.)
Everything was going wonderfully for Ava. She had made the cheerleading squad, school was challenging, but not TOO challenging, she had made a lot of friends, and she found a new brother and sister in Shawn and Belle.
Shawn was almost exactly like her older brother, Aaron. They had so much in common that she often wondered whether or not Shawn was Aaron reincarnated, even though her brother was still alive. She loved spending time with Shawn. She felt so at ease with him and he was a great older brother to her and she loved being with him and his family.
And Belle. Belle was the sister she never found in Elizabeth. They were really close, and Ava was so glad that Belle was her mentor. Belle had made the transition easier. Ava would have been devastated if she and Belle were to stop being friends.
Both were like second families to Ava. She loved both of them and felt as if she had known them forever. Little did she know that trouble was brewing...
