Chapter 25 (PG-13)

Belle: Who cares?

Mimi: Belle, you need to stop drinking.

Belle: I've only had about 10!

Belle's voice was a little slurred and she was drunk.

Chloe: Why don't you let me take you home?

Belle: Why?

Chloe: You have had too much to drink. You need to go home and sleep it off.

Belle: Fine, take me home.

Chloe and Belle left the party. Chloe took Belle back to her house and after thinking that she would be ok, Chloe left. But what she didn't know was that Belle wasn't ok. Belle watched Chloe leave and decided to go out walking along the pier. She was too drunk to realize the danger she would be in.

Shawn was walking down the dock to the Fancy Face II. He wanted to go tell everyone that he was back in town but he was still afraid. He was afraid of hurting Belle worse than he already had.

Belle walked down to the pier with a million thoughts runnign through her mind. She had drank drink after drink until her mind wasn't making her think of Shawn anymore. She was feeling no pain. She was looking up at the stars and praying for a miracle for her and Shawn when someone grabbed her from behind.

Wesley Home

Chloe was pacing around trying to decide how to tell Brady that she was tired of this game he was playing. She knew he still loved her but he just couldn't get past what happened. She needed to find a way to make him forget.

When Brady walked through the front door Chloe did the only thing that she could think of she kissed Brady and pulled him into her arms. Brady felt himself give into the kiss. He realized it was wrong and he quickly pulled away and ran out the door.

Pier

Belle turned and looked at the man with a ski mask on his face and turned white. The man had a knife and he was holding her by her arms and he was sending waves of pain through her arms. Belle went to protest until she saw the knife in his hand. She froze when she saw the knife all the memories of her children and her love for Shawn flashing through her mind.

The mystery man pushed her to the ground and started to climb on top of her. Belle started to cry she couldn't move her body was frozen with fear. She did the only thing she could think of she screamed out Shawn's name. But she paid for it when the man sliced her arm with the knife.

Man: Bitch I told you to keep quiet.
