Chapter 22
One week until the wedding and Mimi was about to go insane. They had everything ordered and taken care of but she feared that one of her best friend's wouldn't show up.
Jason: Shawn man you have to promise me that you will be here.
Shawn: I will Jason I promise. How is Belle?
Jason: Shawn if you want to know how Belle is you call her and ask her. I can't believe that you left them and for what cause you are scared. Shawn be a man call her.
Shawn: I will be back in town in 3 days. I will go see her then. I just hope it isn't to late.
Bridal Shop
Mimi: Belle does it look okay everywhere this is my final fitting and I want to make sure it is perfect.
Belle: Yes Mimi, you look gorgeous. I have never seen a more beautiful wedding dress.
Belle felt tears stinging her eyes and she turned and ran out of the bridal shop and sat down on a bench in Salem Place. When was the pain going to go away how long was she going to hurt because Shawn abandoned her and left her with 3 young children. Hope came running out of the bridal shop to comfort Belle. Marlena and Hope were coordinating the wedding and they were helping Mimi with the final touches.
Hope: Belle sweetie talk to me.
Belle: Hope, why is it so hard? Why can't I just get over Shawn?
Hope: I'm going to hurt him when I see him for doing this to you.
Marlena: Belle, this isn't healthy for you. You are barely eating, you don't get enough sleep.
Belle: It is so hard taking care of the kids without him to help me. I barely have any time for anything. I can't do it anymore.
Hope: You need a night out to yourself.
Marlena: I'm going to take the kids tonight and you are going to rest.
Belle: Thanks mom but the kids need me. They already don't have their father.
Marlena: They need you to be healthy. I'm keeping them tonight.
Belle: Ok I guess you win. I'll go out and try to take my mind off of Shawn and all my problems. Wait you can take them in 2 days when I have to go to the bachelorette party cause I don't want to leave them for 2 nights.
Hope: Okay sweetie just as long as you take a break.
Belle: At least the Daycare is making enough money that I don't have to worry about providing for my children.
Marlena: Sweetie me and your father would give you money if you need it so dont' you ever worry about that.
Mimi: Belle sorry to interrupt but they need to fit you before their next appointment in 10 minutes.
Belle: Don't worry about it Meems, I am sorry I am being such a horrible maid of honor.
Mimi: You are being great and don't you ever doubt that.
They all walked back into the room where Chloe had just finished being fitted for her dress. All the other bridesmaids had came earlier in the day. The three friends had wanted to go alone. Belle came in her dress and Marlena's mouth dropped when she saw how big the dress was. Belle had just been fitted 2 weeks ago. The alterations lady looked at Belle with concern.
Mimi: Belle it fit two weeks ago have you not been eating. Honey you barely weighed anything before you can't do this to yourself it isn't healthy.
Belle: Sorry I am under a lot of stress can you fix the dress?
Alterations Lady: Sure let me get to work on it.
Belle went and changed and handed the dress to the lady. Chloe and Belle had headed over to the lingerie store to pick up a gift for Mimi for the bachelorette party While they were gone the alterations lady walked up to Mimi, Hope, and Marlena.
Sally(Alterations Lady): 2 weeks ago she was barely a size 3 now she fell below that. You need to watch her for an eating disorder.
Marlena: Are you saying that my daughter has an eating disorder?
Sally: I am not saying that but she lost a lot of weight in a short time. She is extremely skinny.
