Shawn and Belle Fan Fiction.  Section one: Letting Down the Walls
Chapter Thirteen

    Shawn watched in horror as the car came closer to Belle.  He reacted quickly though as he ran over and pulled her back.  She lost her balance and the two of them tumbled down onto the sidewalk, just as the car zoomed by, honking its horn at them.  Concerned people came over to see if they were ok.
"Yeah, I'm fine" Shawn said, shaking his head.  "Are you ok, Belle?"  She nodded her head, obviously shaken up, as she wrapped her arms around herself.  Shawn pulled himself to his feet and brushed off the back of his shorts.  He pulled her to her feet and Belle looked up at him with fear still evident in her eyes.  He opened his arms and she buried herself in him, shaking lightly as he rubbed her back.  They came back to Earth when a woman came over carrying the bags Shawn had dropped earlier.  He took them, with his thanks, and led Belle back to Eric's car by her hand.
"Are you sure you're ok?" he asked her, as he unlocked her car door and opened it.
"Yeah" she said.  "Thank you Shawn, I don't know what could have happened..."  He interrupted her by putting his finger gently to her lips.
"Don't say anything" he said.  "It didn't happen and all we can do is thank God that nothing happened to you.  I would never let anything happen to you as long as I'm around"  Belle gave him a small smile and slid into her seat.  He shut the door behind her and went around to the driver's side.  He started the car up and Belle buckled her seat belt. 
"Shawn, can I have some candy?" she asked.  Shawn looked over at her and she gave him a smile.  She was obviously trying to forget what had just happened and was ok again.
"Sure, go ahead" he said, as she turned and pulled the bag from behind her seat.  She opened it and tossed a handful in her mouth.  She then ate a few more.
"Hey, ever hear of sharing?" Shawn asked.  He stuck his hand out and Belle poured a few in.  She then put the cd back in the player as she ate some more.
"Don't eat them all!" Shawn gently teased.  Belle looked over at him as she concentrated on driving through the traffic.  She poured some in her hand.
"Open  up" she said.  He did and she put some in his opened mouth.  But then he laughed and one red one fell out.
"Gross!" she said, making him laugh harder as it fell beneath the seat.  Shawn finished chewing and laughed.
"Remind me to get that one before we go in, Eric will kill us if he finds melted chocolate in his car" Shawn said.  Belle took another handful and then rolled up the bag for Shawn to finish.  She stared out the window and listened to the music, which was playing Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want".  This song always was one she liked but it made her think a lot. Shawn softly sang along to the chorus and she didn't pay attention till he reached the end of the song.
"I am everything you want, I am everything you need,
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be.
I say all the right things at exactly the right times
but I mean nothing to you and I don't know why..."
Belle stared at Shawn at the end and Shawn noticed and blushed slightly when he realized what he had just said.  "Nice one, Mr Obvious" he thought to himself.  "What?" he finally said, when she kept staring.
"I never realized you could sing so well," she finally blurted out.
"Thanks" Shawn said, uncomfortably.  He pulled into the driveway and shut off the engine.  "Now where's that chocolate?" he said, unbuckling his seat belt.  Belle bent over to look also and the two bumped heads.
"Why do we do this so much?" Belle asked, holding her hand to her head.
"My fault" Shawn quickly said.
"Gee, looks like I finally knocked some sense into you" Belle joked.  Shawn stared at her and Belle blushed.  "There it is," she said, breaking the silence.  Shawn scopped it up and put it back in his mouth.  "You're gross, Shawn Brady, I can't believe you ate that" she said, letting herself out.
"I'm sure we've all eaten worse" he said, grabbing the bags and following her in the front door.  Mrs. Horton was sitting at the kitchen table when they went in.
"There you guys are!  Are you ready to get started?" she asked, getting up.  Shawn put the bags down and walked over to her.
"I told you already, we're making dinner" he said, gently stopping her.
"I know but I can help, Shawn" she protested.
"Ok, Gran, you leave me no choice" he said.  "You know I love ya...but get out" he said, pointing at the door.  Belle giggled.
"Shawn..." Mrs. Horton started.
"No, out right now!  On the double!" he said, jokingly, as he led her to the door.  She finally stopped resisting and laughed. 
"Thats one order I don't mind taking from you," she said.  "Just be careful"
"Of course" he said, kissing her on the cheek.  "Now, out".  She laughed and let herself out the door.  Shawn turned back around and shook his head at Belle, who laughed.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"You" she said.  "You're so cute" she started, and then realized what she had said.  "I mean, so cute with your grandma".
"Thanks, I know I'm adorable," he said, with a smirk.  Belle shook her head.
"What can I do?" she asked, as Shawn took out a knife.
"You can sit and entertain me until I finish cutting this chicken" he said, pulling it out of the fridge.
"Oh, really, you can trust me with that assignment?" she asked, sarcastically.  She sat down in silence and Shawn looked at her expectantly.  "Well, what do you want to talk about?"
"I want to find out about you and..." he paused dramatically as he began to cut the chicken into strips.  "Philip Kiriakis".
