♠️CHAPTER 22 ♠️

BELLE'S P.O.V

6.00 am.

I woke up and check my friends' statuses social media. The only reason I have Chrys and Christine in my friends list, is that to see what's dad doing all these years. I recently checked out Chrys' timeline.

"I pity those people who has to stay in countrysides because they don't have money to go on a real summer vacation like me who's having a fun time in Hawaii!"

I was really mad at what he posted, my hands were typing really fast on the comments.

"Yet we still have real people who supports who as friends not a money loaner."

I immediately turned off my phone and threw it at my bag. I took a look at the wall clock. I groaned, I was still tired and didn't want to wake the others first. I thought I should take a hot shower to gather my thoughts. I got out of bed, took my towel and went to the bathroom.

IN THE SHOWER

I wondered is Beau (my sister) doing during the summer. It's been month since I left home for the trip. I hope Trina, my cousin from my mother's side, is taking good care of her in New York. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door..

"Hold up! Let me get out of the shower!"

I quickly got out of the shower and wore a shirt and some trainers as I rushed to the door. I opened the door and It was Felix wearing a t-shirt with some shorts. 

I greeted "Oh hey."  He was scratching the back of his head even though it's not very itchy. "Uhh wanna take a walk for a while?" I crossed my arms while smiling "Why, Carmen?" He tittered. "The others will get ready in 30 minutes or so before we go to Wisconsin." I turned my back and looked at the clock again, "Sure, I want to take my mind off from some shit.."

He glared at me "What shit?" I sighed, "I'll tell you on the way." As I reached for my white cardigan and my laced boots and puts them on.

CHICAGO

We went around Millennium Park for a while, talking about dumb kind of stuff like memes, jokes, movies. I even showed him some of my finest magic spell like Transe, a spell to stop from age and year change.

Whilst I was showing a spell that can make people run fast, I ran over a woman.

"Bumbling idiot of a bitch!"

I stood up and tried to help her out. "Sorry madam, I-." 

"You better be sorry, gi-." 

We were both shocked to see each other, it was Nancy, my grandmother. "Mom, what happened?" A man in his late 30s ran to Nancy and was also shocked to see me. "B-Belle." 

"Father." I said as I slowly stepped back with Felix while holding his right arm.

"Belle, how's Beatrix?" Father asked me as he helped Nancy out. I ran away with Felix to a near flower bush

"Belle, don't go!"
