Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

It's been another month already since he saw Belle at the station and Alex doesn't know what to do with himself, he even stopped making out with Clair at his office or at his house because Belle's face is still hunting him every time he was thinking of making out with Clair.

"Morning Alex, doing OK? Your hair is a mess and you have black eyes like you were fighting someone!" Nic asked as he entry his office.

"I'll survive! I think. I just still can't believe I treated her like that when she doesn't deserve it at all. How is she? Is she OK?" Alex asked Nic, but Nic looked at him a little confused and then understood about who he was talking about.

"Yes, Belle is doing amazing, actually. She changed a lot in this past month that you forbid her to come here. She became strong, like she was in the past after her parents died in that accident. Every one in the police station couldn't believe how much Belle changed in just one day that she was off work. They even respected her." Nic was telling him about his cousin who has changed a lot and was not the weak person who she was back then. He was happy for her. Alex was happy to hear that Belle was fine and doing good after what he did to her. He hoped that one day she'll forgive him for what he said to her.

Belle and her new partner Sean Wade were patrolling around the neighborhood when they heard from the radio "Every patrol that is available advance to the jewelry store, there was a robbery there just now" Belle looked at her partner and they advanced to the call.

"Patrol 24 is on its way. We are at 5 minutes from the store" Belle answered the call, and they went there. When they arrived, they saw the robbers and yelled, "Freeze! Put your hands in the air" they yelled, but the robbers shot at them and while they hid from the bullets, one bullet hit Belle's shoulder "Officer is down, requesting for help at the jewelry shop! Are you OK, Moyer?" Sean asked Belle after asking for help.

"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry. You go after that guy that ran to the left and I'll go after the guy the went to the right" Belle said as she was running with her bleeding shoulder for a few minutes until she shoot him at his leg to catch him and arrest him.

Sean and Belle met at the front shop with both of the robbers and the other officers took them away.

"I should take you to the hospital so they pull the bullet from your shoulder or it will get bad" officer Wade took Belle to the car and drove her to the hospital so she could get a treat for her shoulder.

"Do you want me to call you cousin to pick you up? Because I need to go back to the station and fill the papers and on the way, I'll fill your part too, so you could heal your right shoulder." Officer Wade told Belle.

"Sure, thanks Wade." Belle thank Sean. She's happy that the chief gave her a different partner, one that actually works together with her and not critique her for every little thing.

Officer left for the station, leaving Belle alone in the hospital so the doctor can treat her shoulder. Few moment later Nic and Gabie burst in to the hospital and went to the front desk.

"Is there an officer Moyer here? They admitted her today after being shot at her shoulder," Nic asked the nurse that sat at the desk.

"And who are you to her sir?" asked the nurse

"I'm her cousin. She doesn't have parents, and that is my girlfriend and her best friend. Now, at which room she is?" Nic asked, already nervous.

"You don't have to be that nasty at the poor nurse, Nic," said a voice behind his back. Nic and Gabie turned around and felt relief to see that Belle was healthy as she could be and hugged her.

"Ouch, be careful with my shoulder, you guys. Jajaja." Belle was smiling because she knew she had people that were worried about her.

"I'm sorry cousin. Are you OK? How is your shoulder?" Nic asked, as he was trying to see if there was something else to be worried about. "You scared me to hell, Isabelle! I thought that something bad happened to you, you idiot!" Gabie was crying from happiness, knowing that her best friend was healthy. "Come here, you little guffie. I'm fine, as you can see. I was lucky and got shot at my shoulder," Belle reassured her best friend while hugging her to make her stop crying.

While they were talking at the hall and waiting for Belle's medicine a door opened at the entry and Alex came through it after he heard Belle got shot today, when he saw her smiling and talking to Nic and Gabie he went to where they were and hugged Belle from relief of seeing her well and healthy. It shocked Belle when Alex hugged her, because she thought he hated her.
