Chapter 24

Shawn left the room and just rode around town thinking about his situation. He really missed Belle and his children and he wanted them back but he felt bad about leaving them.

Shawn: What am I going to do? Belle is my life and I know that I have hurt her badly. I guess I need to go back to Salem and talk to her.

Shawn's cell phone started ringing.

Shawn: Hello?

Mimi: Shawn Brady where the heck are you? You know what it doesn't matter. You better get your butt back into town right now. I can't lie to Belle anymore.

Shawn: Mimi, slow down. I promise that I will be back for the wedding.

Mimi: No, you will be back before the wedding. Belle is sick Shawn. She needs you.

Shawn: I know and I'm sorry.

Mimi: You shouldn't be telling me that you are sorry. Belle and your kids are the ones that need to hear it. I'm hanging up now but I better see you tomorrow.

Shawn: Mimi

But it was too late she had hung up. Shawn paced around in front of the dorm room. He knew in his heart what he had to do if only he could convince his mind that it would be okay. He decided to follow his heart he packed his bag and was headed back to get the wrath of everyone in Salem.

2 days later

Belle had tried to get Brady to talk to her but he always made excuses about how he was too busy. She had heard from Jason that Philip had stopped by Brady's office claiming to want to earn everyone's trust back. But Brady would hear none of it he had him kicked out. Belle marched into his office past his secretary that insisted that she had to wait for his approval.

Belle: You listen to me and you listen good unless you want to lose your job you will let me see my brother. My father owns this company and I will be damned if you are going to keep me from seeing my brother. Oh and another thing Jason told me about the advances you have put on my brother. His heart belongs to someone else so back off or deal with me.

Stacey: Listen to miss high and mighty. Where is your boyfriend again? Oh yeah he left you.

John Black: Stacey go ahead and pack your things you are fired no one talks to my daughter like that.

Stacey: But sir I...

John: I said to leave you are fired. Belle are you okay sweetie.

Belle turned in her dad's arms but felt light headed and passed out. John yelled for Brady and he rushed in and they laid her on the couch in Brady's office.

John: Belle sweetie what's wrong?

Belle: I just haven't ate anything today.

John: Brady I have a meeting in 5 minutes take your little sister out for lunch and you will be getting a new secretary.

Brady: Okay let's go Belle.

Belle: I'm not hungry. I need to talk to Brady about Chloe.

Brady: We can talk over dinner.

Belle: Fine lets go.

The two leave the office and head off to get something to eat.

Later that night it was time for Mimi's rehersal dinner. They practiced the wedding but Shawn was a no show. When it was over, everyone was eating and drinking. Brady and a few others dragged Jason away for his bachelor party. The girls were going to stay at Mimi's house and party.

A few hours later:

Mimi: These drinks are sooo great!

Belle: Tell me about it! I feel great!

Chloe: Belle, you need to stop drinking those. How many have you had?
