Um, I would just like to say; that I don't really like Belle. So I might bash a bit.
Abby couldn't believe her eyes, right before her; was her cousin Shawn.
"Shawn? What are you doing here?"
"Let's just say my life isn't what it's supposed to be."
"What do you mean?"
"Abby… It's about Belle and Claire"
"And…?"
"My whole life isn't so perfect anymore"
"All right"
"And to top that off, I have no one to talk to at all"
"Hey, don't worry, I'm here. And why would you say that? Where's Mimi?"
"Let's just say that after you left, she changed"
"How about everyone else?"
"Chelsea's dressing more simple"
"You're joking?"
"Nope. I saw her yesterday, she's still with Max though"
"Oh."
"Come on, let's go walk around the pier, I'll explain to you what happened between me and Belle."
"This I want to hear"
They slowly walked to the pier talking about what happened between Shawn and Belle.
"Okay, you told me you would talk, so talk!"
"All right all ready; this happened about maybe a week after you left."
"More details!"
"Okay, anyway; remember when Mimi told us about Claire being my daughter?"
"Yes" Abby whispered. " How couldn't I forget"
"Well, turns out she isn't my daughter"
"Wait, you're kidding me aren't you?"
"No, why would I be joking about this? And now she's gone back to Phillip, I don't have Mimi anymore and my parents, well, hell I don't even know where they are!"
" Shawn, I know this is tough but just face it-" Abby was cut off by someone walking into her.
"Excuse me?" Abby replied mad.
"What do you want?" The girl replied with an annoyed tone.
"Well, if it isn't Belle Black, the girl I thought I could trust" Shawn piped up from the conversation.
"Shawn? Is that you?" Belle questioned.
"No it's his evil twin brother Shane" Shawn said sarcastically.
" And you are who?" Belle questioned again.
"Abby… Shawn's cousin, does it ring a bell?" Abby said annoyed.
"No, can't say it does"
"Well, you're helping"
"What did you want me to say? Wait… Abby, as in Abby Deveraux, that insulted Chelsea Benson the 'Ice Queen' so much that it made her cry?"
Abby was speechless. Yes, she knew she had made a big fuss about that fight with Chelsea and she wasn't going to forgive her anytime soon, but to make Chelsea cry? She thought she was a bit rough.
"Belle? Sorry about me being a bitch a couple minutes back. I've just been stressed already, just getting to Salem"
" It's okay, I guess you could say pretty much everyone hates me"
"I apologize again"
"Really it's okay"
Abby was starting to question her decision of leaving and coming back, she needed now, more then ever to think, alone.
"I'm really sorry Shawn and Belle but I'm going to head home"
"Let me bring you home" Shawn said.
"No, it's okay, I'd rather walk alone and don't worry, I'll be careful"
"You better be"
Abby started walking away from their small group and taking her I-pod from her pocket and turning it on and blasting the music and singing along.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
She didn't know how to explain it but this song made her think. Think about all the things she had done in life like the stupid mistakes.
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
She was humming to that tune. That tune that made her think, think about her personal choices. That song also gave her memories. Memories when she was more happy with herself and with others. Could she ever regain that happiness she once had? That, she didn't know.
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...
The song was nearing the end and yet that song made her more think then before! She just didn't get it. She wondered would she even see her old best friends? That question, she was willing to wait and see how it would turn out itself. She was tired of thinking of the future. What deeds she had done wrong if they were going to haunt her. No, she would have to deal with that anymore.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
She had made her decision. The decision that might change her life for the better or the worst. It didn't matter; she was going to go on with life without worries. Worries were the least of her problem. Well, so she thought until she bumped into someone again but this time it wasn't Shawn, it was someone else she held deeply to her heart.
"It—it's yo—you"
