Chapter 46
Belle turned around to a very angry Shawn. She was not prepared to deal with him. She turned to Hope with fear in her eyes suddenly feeling like a deer stuck in headlights. Belle grabbed her purse and started to run towards the back door. "Just run away that is your answer to everything!"
Belle stopped dead in her tracks the nerve of him to say she runs from her problems. "Well I learned from the best. Can you honestly say that you face your problems head on? Shawn how long has it been since we talked. Oh, that's right, you haven't talked to me in months. I owe you no explanation. I OWE YOU NOTHING!"
Belle turned and ran out the door with tears streaming down her face. Hope glared at her son and headed after Belle. "Watch your sister and don't even think I am done with you!"
"But, mom."
"Don't but mom me, stay with your sister while I clean up your mess."
Shawn sat defeatedly on the floor next to Addy. "Addy how did things get so screwed up. First, I fall in love, and she doesn't return the feeling"
"You know Addy doesn't understand a word you're saying to her, why don't you try me?" Fox Crane walked into the living room. Fox and Shawn had been best friends since they were 2. Fox walked over to the couch and Addy lifter her arms up to him. "Hey there princess you're getting so big."
"When did you get back in town?"
"Last night, mom called because Great Gran is in the hospital. Man everything is so screwed up."
"Well let's sit down and try to make some sense out of all this. Start at the beginning."
Shawn sat next to Fox and prepared to tell him the long sordid story.
"When I got to IU. I devoted all my time to basketball. Then at one of the games I bumped into the cheerleaders. Belle fell and was injured badly. I felt responsible and promised to help her recover. We got very close. She drove and ended up reinjuring herself and ended up back in the hospital. We told each other that we loved each other that night at the hospital. I came back with roses the next day to visit her and she was with some guy. They were just sitting there flirting and she didn't even realize I was in the room. So I left, came home early for break."
"Come on Shawn, are you sure you didn't overreact."
"Fox, I have been hurt before I refuse to be taken for a fool. Besides there is more. So 2 days later she shows up here to talk. I refused and mom offered to let her stay here. I moved to the Pub. Anyways Rex convinced me to go to Phil's party. Belle was there, gorgeous as ever, She was dancing with some guy, my jealousy got the better of me and I cut in."
"Okay Shawn either you want to be with her or you don't'. It's quite simple, but it isn't fair to her to keep sending her mixed signals."
"Fox, let me finish before you start giving me your opinion. Anyways, I was hammered and I don't remember anything after dancing with Belle. I woke up the next morning naked alone in one of Phil's spare bedrooms. I have no clue who I slept with. Well then I get this call from JT and Zack telling me that they hate me for making Belle leave. She just left a note and took off. "
"So what just happened? Belle ran out of here with your mom hot on her trail."
"I walked in on the tail end of their conversation. Belle told mom she was pregnant. And making her swear not to tell me. I said too late and we got in a fight and that is what you just heard."
"Why would she tell your mom she is pregnant? Please tell me you used protection with Belle."
"We never had sex."
"I have it all figured out. I don't know how you didn't realize this. You had sex with Belle at the party and hurt her when you couldn't remember. So she left. And now she told your mom because it is her grandchild. Looks like congratulations are in order. Congratulations Shawn you are going to be a Daddy."
