Chapter Six: The Confrontation
A/N: Thank you Sylphide for your review! That was really nice of you to say... It meant a lot to me to know that there's at least one person who likes my story :)
Finally, Belle said, "Ava, we need to talk."
"About what?"
"Ava, I love you like a sister. But ever since you came to Salem, everything's been different for me. And I mean different in a bad way. And... and... I can't take it," Belle said, looking down guiltily.
Ava was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Belle sighed and said, "You're better than me. Ava, before you came, I was the perfect one. I was the one everyone looked up to. But now, you're THE one. Everyone loves YOU. YOU are the popular one, the athletic one, the smart one. And me? I've been left in the dust, Ava. Even my own family and boyfriend are starting to favor you. I don't think you need me anymore."
"What makes you think that?"
"Oh, come on. Like everything isn't all fine and dandy for you now?"
"No, of course not. I wouldn't be able to get to be all those things if you hadn't helped me. But why didn't you tell me any of this before?"
"I didn't want to hurt your feelings. You're one of my closest friends, Ava."
Ava looked hurt and her brown eyes brimmed with tears. "Way to go," she said quietly. "I had no idea I was invading your space."
"No... I didn't mean it like that. You're like a sister to me, Ava."
"Sure," Ava said in a sarcastic tone.
"Is it okay?"
"Is what okay?"
"That I'm not mentoring anymore."
"Fine. Whatever."
"Ava?"
Ava turned with a wounded look on her face. "What?"
"Are we still sisters?"
"I - I have to go." And Ava ran off.
SIX HOURS LATER
Shawn and Belle walked hand in hand through Salem Place. They were having fun, but Belle was still feeling uneasy about that morning. She had already told Shawn about it, but his reaction wasn't what she expected.
Shawn was surprised that Belle would say something like that to Ava. That wasn't the Belle he had known his whole life. He supposed that Belle had been driven to the edge. He pushed it aside, hoping that things weren't ruined between him and Ava.
"Shawn?"
"Yeah?"
"Have you seen Ava at all today?"
"No, why?"
"It's just that, when she ran off, I never saw after that. I'm getting kind of worried. I haven't seen her around and she's not answering her cell phone."
"Belle, why would she after what you told her?"
"But, it's not like her."
"You're not exactly being yourself either."
"I know, but, everything's different now that Ava's in Salem. I hate change."
"Okay, okay."
"I'm gonna call the Emersons to see if they've seen Ava."
Belle called the Emersons on her cell phone. "Hello." Belle said.
"Belle, hi," Mrs. Emerson answered.
"Has Ava been around?"
"No, I haven't seen her all day. She's been missing, but --,"
"Oh. Okay, thanks Mrs. Emerson. Bye," Belle cut off Mrs. Emerson in a panic after jumping to the conclusion that Ava had been kidnapped.
"Shawn! Ava's missing!"
