Chapter 32
Belle: What do you mean what is the matter with me? Why are you yelling at me? Mimi: Don't play dumb with me, Belle. I know what happened between you and Shawn earlier. Belle: He has a big mouth. Mimi: And you are too stubborn. For your information, Shawn really likes you. Belle: He is just saying that because he feels sorry for me. Poor little Belle got hurt and can't take care of herself. Mimi: That is not true and you know it. You like Shawn and he likes you. Why can't you understand that? Belle: He just feels sorry for me. I've never had a boyfriend ever so why would suddenly a guy like me after I've been in a horrible accident? Mimi: Shawn isn't most guys, Belle. He is caring and sweet and nice and sensitive. Belle: Then why don't you date him? Mimi: Shawn is my friend. I don't like him like that but you do. Belle: Nothing is going to come out of me liking Shawn. Mimi: It will if you let it. Give Shawn a chance to explain himself. We were talking and Belle he really does like you. He even went as far to say he thought he was falling in love with you. Belle: Really? Are you sure about this? You know how shy I am and if this is some sick joke I will hurt you both. Mimi: Look, just talk to Shawn. Please for me? I'm your best friend. I wouldn't ask if I didn't think it would help. Belle: Ok I'll talk to Shawn but I won't promise anything. Mimi: Goody! Hand me the phone so I can call him. Belle: You're going to call him from here? Mimi: Yeah he's still at the dorm. He was scared to come back because he thought you would just yell at him again. Belle: Yeah well I probably would have. Mimi: Well when he gets here, you better be nice. Give him a chance. You never know what could happen. Belle: Well Meems you bought me flowers aren't you going to give them to me. Mimi: At first I considered throwing them at you. And I didn't buy them. They are from Shawn. Belle: I feel so bad. Maybe I don't deserve him. Mimi: Now no more feeling sorry for yourself. Belle: Okay go call him from your cell phone. I don't want to listen to your conversation. Plus I have to call my mom. Meems came back 5 minutes later to talk to Belle. Meems:Okay well he will be here soon want me to help you change into a nightgown before I leave? Belle: Sure put the light blue nightgown on me. Meems: Oh good thing I picked the silky one. Belle: Okay and can you help me comb through my hair. Meems: Okay. They got Belle presentable and Mimi and Belle watched Sweet Home Alabama while they waited on Shawn.
Kevin showed up 5 minutes later with some daisies. He stayed and watched the movie with them. About 20 minutes later Rex and Philip showed up with Chloe and Michelle to visit Belle. Belle: We are just having one hell of a party in my room. Everyone was watching Sweet Home Alabama and talking about the upcoming basketball game. Belle nervously looked at the clock. It had bern 45 minutes since Mimi called Shawn. About 10 minutes later Shawn came back carrying a huge teddy bear. Everyone was still engrossed in the movie. Shawn walked in and laid the teddy bear on the window seat. He sat down next to Rex and watched the movie. Everyone stayed till the movie was over and they started to watch 2 Weeks Notice when Meems finally spoke up. Meems: Well I am heading home to get some rest night Belle. Chloe: Yeah come on Phil, Rex it is getting late and you drove me and Michelle. Everyone started to leave but Kevin was still sitting there watching the movie. He got the look of death from
Mimi and headed out the door with the others. Kevin: Hey Shawn come on buddy Belle needs her rest. Shawn started to get up and head out with the others. He hated to keep Belle awake when she had surgery in the morning. Belle: Go ahead Kevin. I need to talk to Shawn for a minute. Kevin: Well do you need a ride I can wait? Meems: Damn it Kevin he drove now come on.
Kevin finally got the message and headed out the door with the others leaving Shawn and Belle alone. Shawn: How are you feeling? Belle I've been better. Look Shawn I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about earlier. Shawn: You don't have to say that. Belle: I was just in so much pain then right after I blurted out my feelings you said you liked me and I've never had a boyfriend before so I didn't exactly know what to say. I know that its not excuse for how I acted but I just wanted to say sorry. Shawn: It's ok Belle. But I do want you to know that I was telling you the truth. I do like you more than a friend. Belle: I just have a hard time believing it. Shawn: I know its hard to believe that I like you when you have a million guys falling at your feet but I did. I don't want you to push me away. Belle: I'm sorry. Maybe we can start over. Shawn: I would like that. Belle: Thank you for my flowers and balloons and my bears. I love them. Shawn: I hoped you would like them. I wanted to find something special. Belle smiled and yawned. Shawn noticed this and laughed. Shawn: I see that you are tired. Belle: No, I'm not. I just want to stay awake and talk to you. Shawn: What time is your surgery tomorrow? Belle: They just said first thing. Shawn: Well I promise to be here before you go into surgery. I'm going to leave and let you get some sleep. Belle: Shawn, thank you. Thank you for forgiving me and being here for me. Shawn: You're welcome. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Get some sleep angel. Belle: Goodnight Shawn. I'll see you in the morning. Shawn: Night. Bye Belle. Belle: Bye. Shawn smiled at her as he slowly backed towards the door. Belle closed her eyes and was soon asleep due to the pain shot she had recieved earlier.
Belle: What do you mean what is the matter with me? Why are you yelling at me? Mimi: Don't play dumb with me, Belle. I know what happened between you and Shawn earlier. Belle: He has a big mouth.
