Chapter 20

When they finally got Belle back to the dorms, it took forever to get her up the stairs to the 3rd floor where her room was located. Brady was carrying her and he sat her very gently in bed but it still hurt.

Belle: Ouch.

Brady: I'm sorry.

Mimi: I can't believe they let you out of the hospital.

Brady: Well she basically demanded to leave. I think she is getting out of her shyness now.

Mimi: well it's about time. I've been trying all semister.

Belle: Ok guys I'm still here. You don't have to talk about me like I'm not.

John and Marlena walked in carrying all the stuff Belle would need for bed rest.

Marlena: This is a lot of stuff.

John: We have crutches, pain medicine, a wheelchair. Would you like me to go get you anything?

Belle: I'm fine but I would like to have the blankets over me. I can't lean down and get them.

Marlena went over and helped her daughter. After several minutes, Belle fell asleep. The pain medicine kicked in and she was out cold.

Mimi: Why dont you head to the hotel? I will be okay with her alone. Besides Jamine is camping out in here to help me out.

Marlena: Are you sure?

Mimi: Totally. I will call you if we need anything tonight. I promise.

John: Okay but we will be back first thing in the morning.

Meanwhile, Shawn was in his room with Philip. Shawn was just staring out the window while Philip sat on the bed watching him.

Philip: Shawn, you need to take your mind off of things.

Shawn: I can't help it. I think I have a crush on her. She is beautiful.

Philip: You just met her!

Shawn: Isn't Belle a pretty name?

Philip: I've never seen you like this. Dude, I think you have a case of the love bug.

Shawn: I just feel so guilty about everything. I wanted to stay over there but Belle wanted to be alone with her family.
