Chapter 30

Mimi and Shawn rushed to Belle as she fell. Shawn grabbed her arm to stop her from completely falling but she hurt her leg. Belle: OHHH! Shawn: You are going to the doctor now. Belle: Shawn, I need you to leave. Mimi: Belle, Shawn needs to help me. I can't lift you. Belle finally gave in and let Shawn carry her out to Mimi's car. They headed to the hospital. Once they arrived, Shawn carried Belle inside and they had to wait in the waiting room while a doctor looked over Belle. Dr. Strange did a few tests on Belle's ankle and frowned at the results. He knew her foot was broken but the results of this test were strange. Belle: What is wrong? Why am I in such pain? Dr. Strange: Have you been walking on this? Belle: I used my crutches to get around last night. Dr. Strange: Well I have some bad news about your ankle.

In the waiting room... Shawn: This is all my fault. I should have never left this morning. Mimi: No, I should have stayed home last night and made sure Belle didn't get out of bed. It's my fault. Shawn: If only I hadn't left her at the party last night she wouldn't have fallen. She hurt her leg worse and it's my fault. Mimi: No Shawn it isn't your fault. I don't know what she was thinking by driving herself and getting drunk. Shawn: Should we call her parents? I mean they have a right to know what is going on. Mimi: Let's wait and see what the doctor says first. There has to be a reason for her being in pain. I bet you she rebroke it somehow. Shawn: Is that possible? Mimi: I don't know. But she had to have done something bad to it. I just hope she is going to be ok. Belle: What's the bad news doctor? Dr. Strange: It appears that you have tore a ligament in your leg and you will need surgery. Belle: No I only had a month of recovery left. Dr. Strange: The recovery for this surgery is about 4 to 6 weeks. I am also taking your driving privilidges away. No driving till I sign a medical release. Belle: Oh come on that isn't fair. Dr. Strange: No buts about it. Belle: When do I have to have this surgery? Dr. Strange: Today. Belle: I need to go home and get a bag since I will be here a couple of days. Dr. Strange: I will send one of your friends you will be going in surgery in a couple hours. Dr. Strange sent one of the nurses to get Belle's friends while he prepared her for surgery. Mimi and Shawn came rushing in to find out what the doctor had said. Mimi: Oh are you okay? Did you hurt yourself worse? Belle: I have to have another surgery. Today and I need someone to go get my stuff. Mimi: I will go right now and I will go talk to your teachers too. Belle: Thanks Mimi. Shawn: Belle is it okay if I stay with you until she get back. Belle: Fine just don't talk to me. Sit over there. Shawn: What did I do? Belle: You wouldn't understand. Shawn: I think I deserve to know. Belle: I wouldn't have went to that party if it weren't for you. Shawn: I wanted to take you back home. Belle: Well I wanted to find someone to care about me. All my friends have boyfriends. I mean hell my brother is dating one of my friends. Mimi and Rex might as well be dating. And me well I am stuck in bed with no boyfriend. Shawn: Belle. Belle: No Shawn I get it. I know you are only interested in me as a friend. That is why I went to that party to find someone else. Shawn: What makes you think I don't like you? Belle: Shawn I get it okay you like me as a friend but I need more than that. Shawn: Belle I do like you. I like the way you smile and laugh when your nervous. I like the way you bite your bottom lip when you are embarassed. I like everything about you. Belle: Shawn don't lie to me. Don't try to spare my feelings. Shawn: I'm not lying. Belle: Enough Shawn. No more pity. I know you said all that cause I made you feel bad. Shawn: Belle it's the truth. Belle: I said no more pity! Shawn: But Belle... Belle: GET OUT SHAWN JUST GET OUT!!!!
