Chapter 18

Shawn: Where are you from?

Belle: I am from Salem, Ohio. It is a small town just outside of St. Louis. Shawn I don't mean to be rude but can we continue this some other time I don't feel so well and I really want to take a nap.

Shawn: Sure is there anything I can do for you?

Belle: Two things actually. One tell Jasmine to call Coach Miller and have her come down her in need to talk to her. And second please go shower, no offense but you need one after that game.

Shawn: Whoops completely forgot about that.

Belle: It is ok. Um, Shawn.

Shawn: Yeah?

Belle: Thanks for saying you're sorry even though it wasn't your fault.

Shawn: Well thank you for talking with me. I heard you were pretty shy.

Belle suddenly felt very comfortable with Shawn like she had known him her whole life.

Belle: Yeah I am shy. When I was younger I would barely talk to anyone and I would hide my face when someone I didn't know tried to talk to me.

Shawn: Why are you so shy?

Belle: I don't know. (she yawns)

Shawn: Well I'm going to let you get some rest. I'll stop at the cafeteria and get your parents. I'll go find your coach when I get back to the school.

Belle: Thank you Shawn.

Shawn: No prob! Now you get some rest and feel better. I'll come see you in the morning.

Belle: Bye.

Shawn: Bye.

Once Shawn was out of the room Belle buzzed the nurse. She was getting out of this damn hospital. She couldn't sleep in that bed and it was too loud. She wanted to go back to her dorm your with her new soft mattress she had bought. And she was not taking no for an answer.

Shawn went downstairs and sent Belle's parents back upstairs. He ran into Rex in the waiting room and they decided to head home and shower. They had planned to pick up some food and take it to the Blacks at the hospital.
