Chapter 38
Rex and Meems were in the front seat and Belle was laying across the backseat. The radio was turned up loud and they were singing along. They drove only about an hour when Belle suddenly cried out.
Rex: What is wrong?
Mimi: Are you ok?
Belle: My leg is getting a cramp in it. Is there any way you can pull over for a few minutes and let me open the car door to make it stop hurting?
Rex: As soon as we get to the next exit, I will take it and we will get some food or something. Is that ok?
Belle: Yeah, I'm really sorry.
Mimi: It's not your fault Belle. I am getting a little hungry anyways.
Rex: Yeah me too. There is a sign for Burger King, Taco Belle, and Wendy's. What do you want?
Mimi: Burger King!
Belle: Burger King is ok with me. I'm not hungry actually.
Rex: Well I can get a burger and some fries so we will go there.
Rex pulled over to the Burger King and parked the car. He and Mimi helped Belle get out of the car and walked beside her while she hopped along.
After they ordered and received their food, Rex carried Belle's tray over to their table. He and Mimi began chowing down on their food while Belle barely touched hers.
Mimi: Belle, why aren't you eating?
Belle: I told you that I wasn't hungry.
Rex: How could you not be hungry after eating hospital food?
Belle: I just have a lot on my mind. I'm worried that Shawn won't forgive me.
Rex: Shawn will be a fool if he doesn't forgive you.
Mimi: Belle, honey, we can deal with that road when we come to it but right now you need to eat.
Belle grabbed a fry and shoved it in her mouth.
Belle: Are you happy?
Mimi: Very much so.
The rest of the meal was in silence. Soon they were on the road again. Mimi started singing.
Mimi: On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again, making music with my friends, and I just can't wait to get on the road again! Sing it with me guys.
Rex: (laughing) Whatever Meems. You are on your own.
Belle: Guys, I'm really scared. I know that Shawn will hate me and he probably won't talk to me. But what if he only forgives me because he feels sorry for me? I don't want his pity. I don't want anybody's pity.
Mimi: Belle, it will be ok. I promise.
Belle: No it won't be ok. What am I going to do?
Mimi glanced over to Rex and whispered so only he could hear.
Mimi: You need to go sit back there with her and get her to go to sleep.
Rex: Are you going to drive?
Mimi: Yes. I can't be in a car with her mood swings.
Rex: Ok. I will pull over in a few minutes.
