I kept running until I couldn't breathe and only noticed where I was when I heard me name. "Belle?" I looked up automatically. Tears started pouring down my face as I ran towards my uncle. "Oh Uncle Peter!" I sobbed. He held me to his chest. "Belle what happened? Why are you here?" He asked. I had run to Canada without even realizing it. "I missed you so much! I had to get away so I ran! I didn't even realize where I was going!" I said. "Belle?!" I heard the voice of my parents as I buried my face into my uncle's chest. "Belle?" My dad asked again. "Papa! Mama!" I cried. My drawl was always so much more pronounced when I cried. I could usually hide it except for a few words. "Mama it was horrible! I thought my chest was going to rip in half! I needed you mama!" I drawled. She hugged me. "Let's go talk!" She said. My papa eyed me but said nothing. We ran until we were out of eat shot and then I sat on a rock. I told her the whole story. How the disastrous date with Seth ended and I hadn't seen him til this morning. To Nessie forcing me to eat and how Seth acted totally oblivious to the fact that Taylor was hitting on him. She listened quietly then stood. "I will think about this! For now go back to school!" She said. I nodded and kissed her cheek before running back to school. It was lunchtime when I got back so I walked in and sat down with Nessie and the others. "Bee! We need to talk!" Seth said. Nobody was paying attention to us. "No we don't! She was flirting with you! Don't act as if she isn't prettier than me! It's okay to like her Seth!" I said. Nessie and Jake were now pretending to not listen to us. "I don't like her! I like you!" He growled. "Not from where I'm standing!" I spit. He got this look on his face like he had just heard what I said. "Nobody is prettier than you Belle!" He said softly. I scoffed and looked at the table. "You don't have to lie!" I said softly. "I'm not lying! I can't even see her! You're the only one I see! You're my-" he stopped right as Jake threw an apple at him. I looked between both of them confused. What were they hiding? I looked at Nessie and she looked away. "What aren't you telling me?" I asked. "Nothing!" They all said together. I growled and started picking up my food. I was glad my last two classes were art and photography. When the bell rang I stood up. Seth walked me silently to class and then grabbed my arm. "About the other night-" "Don't worry about it Seth! I get it!" I said softly. I went into class before he could figure out what I meant.
