Chapter 2

Isabella Smith ^^

~~~

"You f*cking bitch!" The man in front of her hissed in anger

"You killed her! It's all your fault" He yelled and slapped her. By that time she was crying hard. The little girl in her room was watching the whole scene while silently crying. 

She couldn't do anything as she was weak and vulnerable. Tears stormed down her face when the belt came in contact with her skin.

"No! Please don't, I'm sorry!" She cried

"You should be!" The man yelled smacking her again with the belt.

Isabella's eyes shot open and she was sobbing and panting heavily. She thanked God that it was only a nightmare. She could feel hot tears down her face and her body couldn't function properly. Fear consumed her when she thought of that night. Suddenly the door slammed open.

"Izzy! Are you okay?" Megan asked while running towards her. She quickly engulfed Isabella in a hug and Isabella cried on her shoulder while she comforted her. 

"Shh, it was just a nightmare, nothing more!" Megan said 

Megan was very aware of the nightmares that were haunting her sister in her sleep for past 7 years. It was just another night when Isabella would wake up and started crying. She had witnessed the whole scene, how that man used to beat her only sibling and she witnessed every thing when she was just a five year old girl. It hurt her to see her sister like this. She hated the man for doing this to her sister and she always wanted to take revenge but at that time she was only five years old and Isabella was only twelve years old, they both were weak and fragile but now she is a strong girl when she is just fifteen. Isabella was never that strong but Megan grew up to be a strong, brave and challenging girl who wasn't afraid of anything and Isabella was proud of it.

Isabella had calmed down after a few minutes and she thanked Megan. Those nightmares had stopped for a while but now they were back again. Megan went into her room after switching off the lights of Isabella's room. Isabella laid on her bed and pulled the covers till her neck. She was disturbed because the events of that night were rushing back towards her. Eventually after an hour or so, she fell asleep.

The next morning Isabella woke up in a good mood because it was Saturday which means she had the day off and she could spend some time with Megan and her aunt who lived just a few streets away. She got up and made her way inside the bathroom. After having a long and relaxing shower, she wrapped a small and fluffy towel around her body and got out of the bathroom. She wore a pair of dark blue jeans and a dark blue crop top. She dried her hair and pulled them up in a ponytail. She didn't forgot the nightmare but somehow she tried to keep herself happy for the sake of Megan. 

That events sure left some scars on her body but those weren't that much. She had a scar just below her belly and another one which started from the back of her neck but it wasn't that much visible but if anyone would gaze it for long or observe it carefully, it would be visible to them but she didn't thought that someone would be that much observing so she didn't even bother about hiding that scar any day. She got out of her room after taking her purse and her phone which was a Nokia because she couldn't afford a good and new one. She even let Megan buy one phone in case she need it. 

She claimed down the stairs where she found Megan in the kitchen cooking something.

"Good morning!" She greeted

"Good morning!" Megan greeted back

"What are you making?" Isabella asked 

"Pancakes!" Megan replied. Isabella taught Megan how to cook so if Isabella wasn't home any day so she could cook something and feed herself up. She grateful for it too because whenever she is being a lazy bum, so her little sister could cook her something. 

"What's the special occasion?" Isabella asked

"I just wanted to make you happy" she said smiling

"Izzy, you feelin' better now?" Megan asked 

Isabella knew that she was referring to last night. 

"Yeah, I am. Thanks for comforting me Megan" Isabella said

"Oh, shut up woman! I am your sister, it's my duty to be there with you in every face of your life" Megan said and Isabella hugged her.

"Okay, enough with this emotional shit. Let's do breakfast" Megan said and Isabella chuckled.

They had their breakfast and Isabella did the dishes . She also told Megan that they were going to their Aunt's house. 

After about and hour, they got out of the apartment and Isabella locked the door. They started walking because her house was just a few streets away from their apartment. They reached the door of their aunt's apartment after only 10 minutes. Megan ranged the doorbell and the door flunged open. There stood a lady with brunette hair , her eyes were warm and welcoming with a gleam of excitement in them. She was tall and skinny woman but not that much skinny. She was the woman who helped them through thick and thin and keep them both with her when they were kicked out of their house. 

"Hey, Aunt Jess" Megan greeted the woman and the woman greeted back

"Hey, Jess" Isabella greeted while hugging her. She didn't bothered calling her aunt as she was only 3 years older than her and she was just like a friend to her. She was their Mother's sister.

"Hello, how are you?" She asked

"I'm fine" Isabella said while entering in the house. 

"How is Kevin?" She asked

"She had one last night" Megan said and Jessica engulfed Isabella in a hug. Isabella didn't cried though, because she was tired of everything and she needed to be strong. 

"So, how is your job?" Jessica asked after they pulled back 

"Same old. I really need a new job that pays good and I can't just waste my 4 years of education in college just by working in a coffee shop" she said

"That would be great, Jess. You are the best!" Isabella exclaimed, grinning

"That I am" Jessica did and the three of them burst into laughter

They spent the rest of their evening watching movies and talking. The day went really good and Isabella felt happy with everything inside her. She had a good laugh after a lapse of several days. It was past 8 O'Clock when Isabella decided that it would be the best if they leave right then because it was getting late. They bid their good byes to Jessica and headed towards their home. Isabella made dinner after changing and then they had dinner. Megan went into her room while Isabella was sitting in the living room with her laptop which Kevin gifted her on her 21st birthday on her lap. She started searching if there were any jobs available but much to her disappointment, she couldn't find any. She decided that she would hunt for a new job tomorrow because she felt tired and went into her room to sleep. 

The next morning, Isabella woke up and the first thing she did after showering and breakfast was searching for a new job. It took her a whole day but she couldn't find any. She felt sad and thought it was useless. She went into the living room and started a movie which was The vow. Halfway through the movie, she heard her phone ringing. She turned off the volume and glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Kevin. She quickly picked up the phone

"Hi, Kevin" Isabella said 

"Hey, Bella!" Kevin greeted 

"Well I have some news for you" Kevin said 

Follow

"What it is?" Isabella asked

"Well, there is a job available of a PA" he said and she couldn't believe her own ears. 

"Yeah?" She asked 

"In Anderson&Co, Personal Assistant needed for Seth Anderson" he said 

"Okay, so when is the interview?" She asked 

"Monday. Be there at 8:00 am sharp." He said and she grinned 

"Thanks, Kevin" Isabella said 

"My pleasure" he replied and she hung the phone.

She couldn't believe that there was a job available. She just needed a job and she was grateful that Kevin helped her. She just hoped the interview to go well. A grin came across her mouth and she laid back on the couch.
