Chapter 29
Shawn ran up to Belle's room. She was lying on the floor and crying. Shawn jumped down in front of her.
Shawn: Belle, are you ok? What's wrong?
Belle: It hurts Shawn. Make it stop.
Shawn: What hurts? Your ankle?
Belle: Please make it go away.
Shawn: I'm going to put you back into bed ok?
Belle nodded so Shawn gently lifted her up and put her into her bed. He sat down on the edge with her.
Mimi: Should we call the doctor?
Shawn: She is still having the effects of the alcohol. I think we should wait until morning to see how her leg is.
Belle: Don't leave me, Shawn.
Shawn: I'm not going anywhere. You should try to get some sleep.
Chloe: Would you guys mind if I went back to sleep? I don't think I can keep my eyes open much longer.
Shawn: You and Mimi both get some sleep. I'll stay here and take care of Belle.
Chloe and Mimi thanked him and crawled into their beds. Within minutes, both were fast asleep.
Belle: It hurts.
Shawn: Try not to think about it.
Belle: Will you sing to me?
Shawn smiled and began to sing softly to Belle. Before he was finished singing the song, Belle was asleep. Shawn looked at her ankle and wished he could see through the cast. He was sure that it was swollen. How could Rex drop her? It was all his fault. He should have never left her at that party. He glanced at the clock and realized he spent the whole night awake. He didn't want to leave Belle so he went over to the small couch and tried to go to sleep. He tossed and turned but finally went to sleep.
Shawn woke up an hour later when the sun was shining in the room. He quietly left the room. He wanted to get a quick shower so he could help take Belle to the doctor when she woke up. He grabbed some clothes and jumped into the shower.
Belle had woken when she thought she heard the door. She took her covers off and tried to stand up to walk to the bathroom. But she couldn't stand.
Belle: MEEMS!!!
Mimi: What?
Belle: What in the hell happened to my ankle? And why does my head fill like it is going to explode.
Mimi: You mean you don't remember last night.
Belle: I just remember driving to the party. And Shawn trying to get me to go back to sleep.
Mimi: Well you were quite drunk. You drove to the party and your ankle was bothering you so you kept drinking. Plus you got mad at Shawn cause he wanted you to go to bed. Shawn got mad at someone that mad at a comment about you being easy and punched the guy. Then Shawn tried to take you home when he left and you wouldn't go. So he left. And Rex tried to carry you to the room but you wouldn't hold still so he dropped you. Then we had to go wake Shawn up cause you wouldn't let anyone touch you. Shawn tucked you in and you woke up an hour later sick. But you couldn't stand so we had to get Shawn. He stayed with you all night. While you got sick and tried to fall asleep.
Belle: Oh god, please tell me you are kidding.
Mimi: Nope sorry sweetie it is true. Now hold onto me and hobble over to the bathroom so we can get you in the tub. You take a bath and then we are headed to see the doctor.
Belle: Okay but no Shawn I can't face him right now.
Belle was getting dressed and yelled for Mimi to come help her get out.
Mimi: Just a second Belle.
Mimi rushed over to answer the door and saw Shawn standing there dressed and ready to go.
Mimi: She is embarrassed. She told me not to let you in if you came.
Shawn: Why?
Mimi: She doesn't remember anything from last night. And she is humiliated that you saw her like that.
Shawn: I'll handle it. Just go help her before she get out.
Mimi: By the way is the teddy bear for me.
Shawn: No smart ass it is for Belle.
Mimi: You are so obvious.
Shawn: Just go help Belle.
Mimi helped Belle get out of the tub and get dressed. They walked out the door with Belle hanging onto Mimi's shoulder. Belle jerked back towards the bathroom when she saw Shawn and feel flat on her ass.
Shawn ran up to Belle's room. She was lying on the floor and crying. Shawn jumped down in front of her.
Shawn: Belle, are you ok? What's wrong?
