any belt at local parts place or should I look for a certain brand?
the top of the belt looks rough but the groove side looks ok never seen one worn like that

 

obviously the belt has rubbed somewhere along the line. I would have to guess not very long or it would have snapped the questions is what could it have possibly been rubbing and what caused it to rub in the first place.

 

OK I went looked again I think someone may have leaned or placed something on the cover and started the car. that's only guess i have. I am going to change the belt and see what happens
Honestly that's grasping for straws looking for an answer since there is only a very small indention on the cover
