*ONE YEAR LATER*
ZACH'S POV
It's our one year anniversary and everything has been moving so fast between us, even though we fought sometimes she's still the only one I've stuck with throughout the year and I'm lucky to have someone like her.
I pulled by the flower store and searched through for her favourite flower, I would be getting her chocolates too and we would go to a restaurant together after I give her the flowers and bribe her money driven boss at work. The man makes me laugh sometimes but then I'm glad I could easily shut his mouth up with money and sneak Isabella away from work.
"Uhm excuse me, you don't have a lily?" I asked the girl who had been staring at me since I got in, she seemed to be working here too.
She was still staring at me with a smile on her face and I wondered if she couldn't hear me, I walked closer to her and waved my hands in front of her eyes but

"I'm leaving for Brazil next week" I poured out and looked at her face, she was awe strucked and I feared I might have said it wrongly as she removed her hands from mine."Isabella" I tried to grab her hands back but she removed them from the table and placed them on her laps."Brazil for what?" She asked and I could see the obvious pain in her eyes."I have to continue my football career so I'm going to a football college in Brazil" I said and immediately saw a feeling of sadness, i could see tears building up in her eyes but she tried to cover it up as she looked away from me."Next week?" She asked and I nodded my head, she tried to feign a smile through her red eyes."Yes, I'm sorry I should have told you earlier"I apologized but she laughed and brought my hands to hers."It's cool" she said.I'm not going to believe any word she says

ISABELLA'S POVI watched how he kissed me on my forehead but I felt a sting in my chest maybe this was the feeling of knowing someone you love us going far away from you and you can't just walk up to their house. He left after kissing me and I watched him till he left my sight, I couldn't bring myself to leave the spot but I had to leave, I had to stay strong for him so he'll pursue his career.After all I didn't think there was a lot for me to worry about, I trust Zach with my whole heart and I know he would never just leave me alone or forget about me in Brazil. Even when we were still together in Tennessee I knew he loved only me with the way he avoided other women and he's always with me.I let out a heavy sigh before walking out of the airport, it was still really bright and it was just eight am. I should probably go to my work before my boss gets mad at me. Zach isn't here to bribe him with money anymore and I don'

I hope she went back to where she came from because I really don't have anything to say to her.She left me alone with my little brother when I was just a kid and now she thinks it's okay to just show up in my work place in an expensive outfit?It was clear that she had totally moved on and forgotten about me and my brother so I really don't want her to come back to us after leaving us to suffer for years without caring to mind if we were eating or even if we were dead while she was out there enjoying with flashy outfits and cars.Thinking about her alone made my head hurt, I really need to rest my head for some while and I hope that my father wouldn't be home as I was already on my way home.

"It was mum" he said and my anger came back. "Get in!" I ordered and he hopped in immediately. "You can't see her anymore Joe, stay far away from her" i warned him and he nodded his head. I started the car with different hateful thoughts in my mind, I had to turn on the radio to distract me from my thoughts before something bad would happen on the road. "Isabella?" Joe's little voice squealed my name from the back seat and i looked at his face through the rear mirror. It was clear that he wasn't happy and he was almost in tears. "What's wrong?" I asked like I didn't know why he was probably sad but I hoped it wasn't because of Fiona because she won't have a place in our hearts or lives because she's dead to me and must be dead to Joe too. "It's about mum..." "Joe I warned you to stay away from her and I meant it when I said

"I'm not your daughter, you might have given birth to me and you might have been my mother but that woman has been dead to me the moment she abandoned me!" I fired at her."Would you at least listen to me Isabella, I did what I had to do at that moment and trust me I haven't been happy either. I've been living in guilt all this while!" She yelled."It was hard for me too and I couldn't bring myself to face you all these while because you would hate me but...""But what the fucking hell, what's there to be all but about, I was little and so was Joe but you didn't even consider that or how we would survive without you. But guess what hag? We did survive and we're still surviving without you!" I yelled and watched how tears started to stream down her eyes."Don't you even want to hear me out Isabella, you're grown enough to understand the situation I'm in?" She cried. A lady walked in the store and moti

".... Grace" she whispered out loud and my whole body froze at the mention of the name. It can't be true. "No....no that's not true! You're pouring out lies now because you don't just want me to even be happy with the bond I've created with Grace" I yelled. "No that's not it Isabella, I didn't want to tell you at first because I knew you have bonded with her and so has Joe but did you even care to know why she showered all of those love and attention to Joe?" Fiona asked. It was true that Grace had been really nice to us expecially Joe but then I was her daughter's bestfriend and she just loved Joe because he was little and adorable nothing more. "For a second I thought I should believe you but not until you dragged grace into this!" I yelled back at her. "Isabella would you just calm down I know it's hard for you..." "No you don't, you don't know shit but the only thin

"Hey Love are you okay?" His voice was filled with concern over the phone and I guessed he must have figured out I wasn't in my best mood tonight. "Zach..." I broke out in tears, I wanted to explain everything to him but I couldn't bring myself to say any word other than to cry. "It's okay to cry babe, I'm here even though I can't really be with you at the moment but I'm here for you" he cooed over the phone and I kind of felt better. I guess hearing his voice alone was able to make me feel okay. "I'm fine now" I sniffed my nose and wiped my tears off. The water in the lake was getting colder so I removed my legs and brought my kneels to my face. "No you're not, Maya called me and she seemed to be worried, she also said you haven't been answering her calls" his voice was louder this time. I knew he wished he was here to see me but unfortunately he was in Brazil. "It's a

"Isabella!" He cried as he hugged me really tight. I had no idea why I felt reluctant to hug him back after all he wasn't the one who hurt me."Joe!" I called his name but he didn't respond, rather his grip on my legs tighten and I could hear his little sobs."Joe!" I called out his name again."Why are you mad at me, I'm sorry for whatever I did but please don't be mad at me Isabella" he cried on my legs, my heart melted at his words but I wasn't mad at him. I just didn't know how to face him."Joe you should go back to school, your teachers would be worried" I scolded him because that was the only thing I could say to him. My words seem to have broken him as he released his grip on my legs.He wiped the tears away from his face but more tears kept on flowing as he ran away from me. I wanted to run after him just to make sure he's okay but I couldn't bring myself to. Besides I w
