Seeing Alex at the hospital near her was pretty crazy. He didn't stop asking her if she needed something or her shoulder was in pain. Then, finally, there was a knock on her hospital room door, and a doctor came in.
"How are you feeling, miss Moyer?" He asked Belle while the nurse that came with him checked her vitals.
"I'm doing fine. When can I go home, doc?" Belle asked him. She was tired from the hospital already, and she wanted her bed to relax.
"That is exactly why I came, miss Moyer. That's your discharged papers, and you're not allowed to go to work for at least a week until it cured your shoulder." The doctor told her and gave her the papers. The doctor and the nurse left. Belle got up from her bed and wanted to put her shoes on, but Alex got up from his chair and went to help her with the shoes.
"You know you don't have to do it, Alex. I can manage by myself very well. I've been doing it for the past ten years since my parents died." She assured him.
"I know, Belle. Let me do it, at least after what I did to you these past months. You do not know how sorry I am. Clair drives me crazy with her stuff. I want to break up with her, but she always makes me feel guilty for leaving her. So let go, and I get you home so you could relax and sleep." Belle looked at Alex's face and saw that he looked exhausted and aged a lot.
Alex and Belle came out of the hospital and went to Alex's car. He opened the door to her, helped put Belle's bug in the back of his car, got inside, and drove them to her house. They didn't know that Clair saw them coming out of the hospital together and followed them with her car.
After an hour's drive, they got home. Alex came out of his car and approached Belle's side to help her carry her bag. Clair went out of her car and approached them, angry,
"So now you helping her?! Why do you always doing it, Alex? And you bitch, how dare you take my boyfriend to help you get here!" Clair was angry at Alex and Belle, and she slapped her for trying to steal her boyfriend from her.
"Are you out of your mind? How dare you slap me, you bitch!" Belle slapped her back while confronting her in front of Alex. He tried to separate them.
"Knock it off, Clair! Are you crazy or what? Don't you see it hurt her? Are you OK, Belle?" Alex was worried about Belle's shoulder, and he knew the doctor would not like to know that her stitches would open. So Alex garbed Clair, took her to her car, and put her there.
"Don't move from here. I'll be back in 5 minutes," Alex said and closed her door.
Alex turned around and approached Belle.
"I'm sorry, Belle, for everything on behave of Clair. I'll take her home and then ask Nic to get my car from your place, OK? I'm sorry again," Alex looked at Belle for a few more minutes, turned around, got to Clair's car, and drove them away from Belle's house.
Belle watched as Alex drove with Clair away from her. She couldn't believe what had just happened here. Clair was just a crazy woman that doesn't know what to do with herself.
'I guess rich people will always be crazy while having too much money,' Belle thought to herself, 'or maybe it's just Clair. She is not confident of herself and knows that true love will never betray you, no matter what.' Belle came inside her house, sat on the couch, and finally relaxed as she wanted before Clair appeared at the front of her door. While she was sitting on the couch, her phone rang. When she saw the caller's name, she answered with a smile.
'Hi Gabie, how are you?'
'Hi Belle, I am fine. Did you get home by yourself?'
'No, your brother took me home. After you two went home, he came to the hospital and stayed with me until the doctor gave me the discharged papers,'
'Really? My brother did it?! Well, that is something new on his part. Miss snob was there also?'
'No, she didn't, but she followed us to my house to tell me or slap me and scream at me. I was trying to steal her boyfriend from her. God, she has such low self-esteem of herself,'
'She slapped you?! What a nerve of her! My poor brother,'
'Yea, I know. Nic is by your side?'
'He is, one second' Gabie passed her cellphone to Nic, sitting next to her.
'Hi Belle, I heard what happened to you. Are you OK?'
'Hi Nick, yes I am fine. Can you come tomorrow and give Alex his car back, please? He had to leave his car at my house to take Clair away from me.'
'Yea, sure. Don't worry,'
'Thanks, Nic. Alex told me he'll call you later to tell you that.'
'Don't worry, Belle, the most important is for you to relax and get some sleep. Gabie and I will come tomorrow and see you.'
'Thank you, guys. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night!' Belle finished her call with her friends and went to sleep. She hoped that tomorrow would be a better day!
