Chapter 17
Belle's Room
Hope: Sweetie it is getting late. It is 11:00 don't you think I should take Alexis and Faith home.
Belle: He isn't coming back.
Hope: Sweetie I will go find out where he is.
Belle: He doesn't love me. He promised to stay with me through the night.
Hope: Sweetie, he does love you. I don't know what is going on in that head of his.
Belle: Go ahead and take them home. I need some time alone.
Hope: Okay sweetie get some rest. I will be back first thing tomorrow.
Hope took the girls home and walked straight into the house in search of her son who she was furious with.
Bo: Hey Fancy Face why do you have the girls?
Hope: Cause our son never came and got them. Damn it Bo he is screwing up his life. And I will be damned if I will let him break Belle's heart.
Bo: He told me over an hour ago that he was going to go see Belle and get the girls. That is why I have Patrick.
Hope: Well he never showed up.
Hospital
Shawn walked into the hospital and went straight to Belle's room. He was relieved to see that she was asleep. He laid his vase of flowers on the windowsill and sat down quietly next to Belle. He took her hand and softly placed it in his hands.
Shawn(softly): I need to go away. I need to take time to try to be the man that you want me to do be. I know you will be angry but it is something I need to do for our family. Just now I will always love you.
Shawn bent over and kissed Belle's cheek and walked out the door and didn't look back.
