CHAPTER 11
" We should stop." Seth suggested.
" Wait till we hit Chicago." Belle told him. They had been driving about 72 hours. Belle hated it.
" Your a crazy driver." Seth complained.
" Your not driving mister." Belle snapped.
" We can't have a nice conversation anymore. All you are is pissed at me!" Seth told her.
" Oh really. It's my fault as usual right. The fucked up kid right?" Belle was going crazy.
" That's not what I said." Seth growled.
" You didn't have to!" Belle shouted.
" Your crazy!" Seth shot back.
" And you're a control freak!" Belle screamed.
" Only person you care about is yourself!" Seth told her.
" Oh really, then why do I do everything for you, and all the things I do?" Belle asked.
" Your sister is dying here. Do you even care?" Seth cruelly said.
" Do I care? You have to be kidding me of course I care. You blind asshole." Belle was fuming now.
" Stop the car." Seth got control of the wheel.
" We need to get Mere there. Okay, god wait a few more hours." Belle spat out.
" Fine." Seth sat in the back.
******12 hours later*****
" We're here." Belle said to a sleeping Seth. It was completely black outside.
" Bel?'' Seth asked sleepily.
" I need you to carry Mere inside." Belle whispered. Seth did so. Once he laid her down he went back outside to see Belle sitting by the lake. Her hair was pulled half way up while she wore her old jeans with the ripe. With the black tank top. She was slowly dipping her feet in.
" Bel?" Seth sat next to her. " I'm sorry." Seth whispered.
" For what?" Belle asked coldly.
" Breaking your heart." Seth replied.
" A simple 'I'm sorry' isn't enough for you leaving." Belle whispered.
" I left? You walked out that door." Seth said.
" And you begged me to lie to Meredith. What were your words.' You can never tell her'." Belle shot back.
" I never meant to hurt you." Seth tried to explain.
" Well guess what you did." Belle dusted herself off as she headed for the door.
" Leave, that's what your good at." Seth grabbed Belle's arm.
" Let me go." Belle tried to shake lose. So she smacked him with her other hand. Belle fell to the ground. " You bastard!" Belle got up and began to hit him over and over.
" Will you quit?" Seth tried to stop her.
" I will never quit until I hurt you the same way you hurt me." Belle kept hitting him.
" You know I love you!" Seth shouted.
" No! I don't. I'm your dirty secret!" Belle screamed.
" You think that's what it was?" Seth shouted back.
" Yes! I was damn toy for you!" Belle dropped to the ground. Seth knelt in front of her. Putting his hands on her face he whispered. " You were never some toy. I loved you, I still do." He kissed her one tear.
" Then why are you marrying Meredith? And why did you act as if our son never existed?" Belle pleaded.
" I was scared." Seth whispered.
" That's no reason, that's an excuse!" Belle got up. " Get away from me." She stormed off into the woods. Seth was helpless when it came to her. He saw the car headlights pull into the driveway.
" Seth." Liz went up to him.
" Could you go find Belle? She um ran off into the woods about that direction." Seth pointed into the woods. " I know she doesn't want to see me." Seth whispered.
" Sure." Liz went to look for her.
" What did you say to her?" Ric asked once Liz left.
" Ok, none of your business." Seth told him.
" How about me?" Kam asked while getting out of the car.
" Belle, Belle?" Liz walked until she saw Belle sitting by the water. " Hey sweetie. What happened?" Liz sat next to her.
" Before I got kidnapped. I remember how all of you use to smile." Belle whispered.
" Sweetie." Maria and Michael's daughter amazed Liz. Belle was so strong just like them.
" I re-remember you and my mother in the kitchen. And when you got pregnant the way you used to smile at me. It was like having a second mother." Belle kept staring at the sky.
" What's going on with you and Seth?" Liz was afraid to ask.
" When I moved in with the Greens. Seth and I formed an immediate connection. See Seth parents and the Greens were really close." Belle sighed before continuing. " The three of us did everything together. Since Seth was about two years older than Mere and me. It was Mere and mine sophomore year when Seth and Mere started seeing each other." Belle stopped for a second. " Well when college came around for him he decides to go to a nearby college to be by us. We grew up right outside of New York. So for two years they did that. But the problem came when Meredith didn't want to stay home. She really wanted to go to MSU. She loves it out here in Michigan. They fought for a while and it came down to it. They decided to stay together and 'test' the relationship." She said the last part sarcastically. " I stayed mainly because Seth and I decided to try and see if I could get into the FBI. See when I was 15 we finally told Seth. And since they we knew about the other one having powers. And finding you guys was really my goal not his. So it was us spending time together." Belle laughed softly as she remembers those memories. " One night we went out and he-he just kissed me. Out of nowhere. Well soon after that we started sleeping together. In ways it was great because we had someone to talk to and when Mere came to visit it was them together. We went like this for two years. Then I got pregnant." Belle didn't want to look at Liz's face. " I acted as if nothing happen. For a month I just kept pushing myself. He knew something was up, especially when I wouldn't let him touch me. Maybe I was under too much stress I'm not 100 percent sure. But I miscarried. I fainted and Seth freaked. Luckily it wasn't a weekend Meredith was home. We didn't really take care of anything, we just ran from it all. I got sent to D.C. and then a couple months later Meredith called saying they were getting married." Belle rubbed her eyes.
" I'm sorry." Was all Liz could say.
" For what?" Belle asked.
" Maybe if we protected you better you wouldn't have gone through that." Belle cut her off.
" Don't Liz. My problems made me, well me. I'm not proud of some things but you can't change the past." Belle finally looked at Liz. She could see the concern in her eyes.
" Meredith doesn't know does she?" Liz asked.
" No, he begged me not to say anything. That's why we fight half the time." Belle replied. " You know, I remember the way my dad and Max used to fight." Belle said. Liz looked at her wondering where this was headed. " You knew they fought it was because they care or they were afraid. Seth and I-we never fought not until I lost the baby. What scared me, still scares me is we fight like that. I'm not sure if it's cause we're so much like them. I don't if we fight because we care or because we can't stand each other anymore." Belle said softly.
" Honey, if Seth is anything like Max I'm sure he cares." Liz tried to comfort her.
" What if he is like Tess, though." Liz winced at those words.
" You don't believe that." Liz said.
" Maybe I don't, maybe I do. I'm not sure of anything." Belle confessed.
" Seth, what happened?" Kam repeated.
" It doesn't concern you." Seth went into the cabin.
" Moody guy." Ric said.
" What's up with him? I know I haven't known him long but he has never been like this." Kam said.
" Maybe there's another side." Ric whispered.
" What's up with you and Belle?" Kam decided to change the subject.
" I'm not sure. Let me just say she's a confusing girl." Ric said.
" We should get inside." Kam said.
" You need help carrying Nicole?" Ric asked.
" Just open the door for me." Kam opened the car door and picked up a sleeping Nicole while Ric opened the cabin door for him. The guys walked in the could hear up in the loft the television. Kam set Nicole down on a nearby couch. And the two headed up to the loft to see Seth playing a home movie.
" Come on, Bella. Sing! You have such a great voice." Meredith looked about 16.
" What do you want me to sing?" Belle rolled her eyes.
" Because you love me." Seth said.
" When I get married your singing that!" Meredith added.
" You two! You'll never quit!" Belle laughed.
" Come on!" Seth and Meredith begged.
" For all those times you stood by me, For all the truth that you made me see." Belle sang softly.
" For all the joy you brought to my life, for all the wrong that you made right. For every dream you made come true, for all the love I found in you. I'll be forever thankful baby; you're the one who held me up. Never let me fall, you're the one who saw me through it all." Belle's voice got stronger.
" You were my strength when I was weak." Meredith sang off-key.
" You were my voice when I couldn't speak." Belle sung.
" You were my eyes when I couldn't see." Seth chimed in. The girls giggled at his attempt.
" You saw the best there was in me." Belle sang.
" Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, you gave me faith 'coz you believed. I'm everything I am, because you loved me." Meredith and Belle sang together.
Seth just stared at the TV screen.
" She has a good voice." Ric said to break the silence.
" Yeah, she does." Seth turned the TV off.
" What's up with you?" Kam demanded.
" Kam, my fiancé is at a life and death situation." Seth said.
" That's bs. If that's was bugging you, you would have pulled out another tape instead of Belle singing." Kam shot back.
" Kam leave it alone." Seth warned.
" No! I'm your brother, why can't you tell me?" Kam asked.
" He's coward." Belle said. Liz was right behind her.
" Bel, don't." Seth said.
" Oh, no Seth. I'm a big girl." Belle told him.
" Kam, Ric. Maybe you two should leave them alone." Liz suggested.
" Mom-" Kam couldn't believe this.
" Kam please just do this." Liz pleaded. Once the other two were downstairs out of earshot Liz said. " You two have to put whatever is going on aside. We have bigger fish to fry. I don't need to deal with 18 year old Max and Michael right now. I have put up with that enough. Do you two get me?" Liz said in a stern voice.
" Yeah." Both Seth and Belle whispered.
" Good. I'm making something to eat. Where's the kitchen?" Liz said.
" On the main floor, first door on the right." Belle said.
" Thank you." Liz headed down.
" Belle?" Seth whispered.
" Yeah?" Belle asked.
" Will we ever go back to the way things were before?" He whispered.
" I don't think we ever will." Belle answered.
" Maybe that's a good thing." She added before going downstairs. " How are they?" Belle asked Ric and Kam.
" Nicole is fine. Meredith though, I mean there's nothing more to do." Kam told her. Belle sighed as she ran her hands threw her fingers. " God, you look like him." Kam finally realized that this was Josh's sister.
" Who?" Belle didn't understand what he was talking about.
" You look like Josh." Kam answered.
" How is he?" Belle was beginning to realize she was so close to her family.
" He's okay. He's almost scared shitless right now." Kam laughed a little.
" Why?" Belle wondered if Josh was like their father.
" He should be the one to tell ya but he's going be a dad." Kam smiled.
" Really?" Belle smiled at that. There was something to look forward to. " Who is she?" Belle suddenly realized that her little brother had a love interest.
" Alex." Kam answered.
" Alex as in Isabel and Kyle's daughter?" Belle couldn't believe the way the cards had fell.
" The one and only." Kam smiled at Belle's expression.
" Are they happy?" Belle always hoped that if she couldn't be with her family that they would all be happy.
" They couldn't be happier." Kam chose not to tell that they are worried for Alex and the baby's life. It would only worry Belle more and he knew something was going on with her and his brother.
" I'm going go get some air." Belle went outside quickly. Ric decided to follow her.
" Belle." Ric went up to her by the water. " What's wrong?" Ric asked. When she didn't say anything and wouldn't face him. " Look at me." Ric decided to force her to face him. She kept her chin down but he could still see the tears falling down her face. Softly lifting her chin up to face him. With his other hand he wiped the tears away and pulled her hair out of her eyes.
" I'm going ask again, and please tell me what's wrong. I'm worried." Ric said gently. A soft laugh escaped Belle's lips. No one ever said to her that they were worried for her.
" Your sweet." Belle looked into his big brown eyes.
" You're giving me to much credit." Ric smiled at her. " The other night, was it some one night stand?" Ric's eyes were begging for her to say no.
" I'm not sure. I figured you want it that way." Belle answered him.
" Only you of all people would say that." Ric smiled at her.
" I'm glad you know me so well." Belle laughed softly.
" Not exactly but I could find out more." Ric got closer to her.
" Well how do you plan to do that agent?" Belle teased.
" Like this." Ric began to lick the side of her neck as he leaned into her.
" I'm liking it." Belle gigged. " By the way why do you get all the fun?" She asked.
" You naughty girl." He joked.
" Thank you." Belle whispered. Ric stopped and looked at her.
" For what?" Ric asked.
" Being there." Belle whispered as she rested her head against his chest.
Liz moved around the kitchen. " Liz?" Seth leaned against the door. Liz stopped at his voice. She just stared out the window.
" I was a simple girl, with a simple life." Liz mumbled.
" Not even in a full minute my life took the biggest turn. In ways it was great and exciting, scaring as well. It was the connection that was formed that was the greatest thing. It wasn't just between me and Max after awhile. Michael and Maria. Iz and Alex. The younger years were so much easier." Liz said softly.
" Why are you telling me this?" Seth asked quietly. Liz turned around to face him.
" When I was talking with Belle she said something about you being like Tess. Max once told me he hoped you weren't like her. I wanna make sure your not." Liz walked up to Seth.
" I'm not either of them, Liz. I'm me, I'm Seth." Seth whispered.
" What is up with you and Belle?" Liz asked.
" I've made mistakes, and in those mistakes I caused her a lot of pain." Seth whispered.
" Do you love her?" Liz asked.
" Yeah, I do." Seth answered. " She doesn't believe me though." Seth added.
" Maybe it's because you said one thing but your actions proved another." Liz said.
" Maybe." Seth whispered.
