Chapter 35
Mimi stormed into Belle's hospital room with an angry look on her face. She slammed the door as hard as she could as Belle looked at her in shock. You could almost see the smoke coming out of Mimi's ears.
Belle: Mimi, what in the...
Mimi: BELLE DON'T YOU DARE SAY A DAMN WORD. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!
Belle: Why are you yelling at me?
Mimi: What did you do to Shawn? He really likes you and you treated him like creap.
Belle: I don't know what you are talking about but you have no right to come into my room yelling and screaming at me.
Mimi: I will yell and scream if I want to. You have no right to treat Shawn the way you did.
Belle: You know what Mimi, just get out!
Mimi: Why should I leave? I'm not leaving until you tell me what the hell you did to Shawn.
Belle: I already told you that I don't know what you are talking about. What happened to Shawn? Do you know where he is?
Mimi: Why should I tell you where he is? You don't care about him. You just wanted to lead him on.
Belle: I like Shawn and I thought he liked me to.
Mimi: You are such a slut! I'm out of here.
Belle: Excuse me? I am not a slut Mimi. I do not sleep around with guys. For your information, I am a virgin!
Mimi: I'm not surprised about that one.
Belle: What's that supposed to mean?
Mimi: Like I said before, you just lead guys on and then you dump them just like you did with Shawn.
Belle: I don't know what the hell you are talking about but I didn't dump Shawn. He left my room not telling me why and I haven't been able to find him since.
Mimi: I don't blame him for leaving. I can't believe you are acting so innocent.
Belle: I'm acting innocent because I am innocent! Will you just please tell me what is really going on?
Mimi: I don't want to see you right now. You hurt one of my good friends and screwed up a really great relationship. Call me whenever you wake up and realize what you lost but don't call me because you want Shawn back or you are starting to feel sorry for yourself.
Belle looked confused but Mimi ignored her and went out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
Shawn was driving home trying not to let his emotions get the best of him. So many times he had told himself not to fall in love that it only ends in heart ache. But he was sure that Belle was different. He knew that he should have talked to Rex before he left but he didn't want to deal with everyone's questions. His cell phone had rang 10 times since he left Salem. 5 from Rex, and 5 from his mom. No calls from Belle. Shawn was about 10 minutes away from home and he wasn't quite sure that he was ready to face the million questions from his mom about why he was home so early. He finally decided to crash at the Brady Pub. He knew his mom would worry but he would finally be able to get some sleep. Shawn pulled into the parking lot of the Pub and used his key to get in the already closed Pub. His grandma was cleaning the tables and rushed over to see her grandson.
Caroline: Shawn we weren't expecting you for a couple of days. I thought someone was coming with you.
Shawn: Coach cancelled practice so I figured today was as good as any to head home. And my friend's family was in town so she couldn't come.
Caroline knew he was lying to her but decided to let it go because he obviously was not ready to talk about what was going on.
Shawn: Listen grandma I was wondering if I could crash here tonight I don't feel like playing a million questions with mom.
Caroline: Sure sweetie go get some rest but I am going to call her and tell her that you made it here safe and that you will be home in the morning.
Shawn: Thanks grandma, goodnight.
Caroline waited for Shawn to get up the stairs and called Hope knowing that Hope would be there before Shawn could even close his eyes.
Hope: Hello.
Caroline: Hope listen Shawn is here. Come over and figure out what is going on.
Hope: Say no more I am going to give my son an earful.
Shawn jumped in the shower and let the hot water calm his nerves. He washed his hair and stepped out of the shower and got dressed. Once he opened the door he came face to face with his mother. Shawn reached out to hug his mother but was shocked when she grabbed him by his ear and pulled him to the spare bedroom. Shawn sat on the bed and just waited for his mom to go off.
Hope: First of all don't you ever ignore my phone calls again young man. I have been worried sick. And second of all why are you here so early if you and Belle had a fight than you need to talk it out and not run from your problems.
Mimi stormed into Belle's hospital room with an angry look on her face. She slammed the door as hard as she could as Belle looked at her in shock. You could almost see the smoke coming out of Mimi's ears.
