Chapter 45
Chloe: I'm sorry too. I was just stressed.
Brady: I was worried about Belle and Shawn being here wasn't helping any. Do you forgive me?
Chloe: Of course I forgive you. I love you too much. Where is Philip? Is he going to make up with Mimi?
Brady: I don't know. He stormed out of the hospital when I told him to go make up with her. Belle found out about the fight and she was upset.
Chloe: I guess Shawn told her?
Brady: Yeah he did. I talked to her though and explained that everything was going to be ok.
Chloe: How is she doing?
Brady: She is scared. I think she's lonely too and feels like she doesn't have anyone. I think that is why she did some of those things. She wants Shawn back in her life but she has a hard time trusting him. Belle has a problem with trust. Ever since we were little, she has had a problem with it.
Chloe: Why is that?
Brady: Our parents left us when she was little. She hasn't really had anyone except Philip and me to look after her. When someone breaks her trust, it is hard to get it back from her.
Chloe: Did she love your parents?
Brady: She was 8 when they walked out on her life. She hated our father.
Chloe: Why what happened?
Brady: That is something I am not sure that Belle wants too many people to know.
Chloe: You can tell me Brady. I promise that I won't tell anyone.
Brady: I don't know.
Chloe: You can trust me.
Brady: I shouldn't say anything.
Chloe: Did you and Philip love your parents?
Brady: I loved my mother but I lost respect for my dad after what happened with Belle. Philip did too. After it happened, our mother took our dad's side and they left. Belle was 8, Philip was 10, and I was 12.
Chloe: Where did they go?
Brady: I don't really know. But if I ever saw my father again, I think I would kill him for what he did.
Chloe: Brady now you really wouldn't kill him would you.
Brady: What would you do if you walked into a room and found your 8 year old sister curled up in a ball in the corner. She was terrified I walked over to her and she jumped away from me. She wouldn't look at me or talk to me. She had scratches and bruises all over her body. I tried to get her to tell me what was going on but she wouldn't.
Philip: So he called me into the room and asked me if I knew what had happened. But I had been with my mom at the grocery while Brady was at Nick's playing basketball. Belle was home alone with dad but it never dawned on us that it could have been on our dad.
Chloe: I'm sorry too. I was just stressed.
Brady: I was worried about Belle and Shawn being here wasn't helping any. Do you forgive me?
Chloe: Of course I forgive you. I love you too much. Where is Philip? Is he going to make up with Mimi?
