"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

I woke up to the sweet aroma of roast chicken that filled my nose, Zach must have gotten up earlier to prepare a meal for us because I was damn hungry last night even though I ate most of the pizza. I remembered a day he said he didn't like to eat with me because I end up cheating him most of the times. It wasn't actually my fault, he was a slow eater and hell who the fuck eats slowly so I always end up helping him to finish his food on time, even after that day he said those words he still ate with me the next morning. I removed the blanket from my body and realized I was still naked but then I felt sad because we didn't get to have sex together last night after everything we've done already. For some reason when he was about to thrust himself into me, he got a call on his phone that turned his mood off. I noticed how bothered he was about the call but didn't want to ask him last night hoping we might still do it

I watched how she spent almost two hours trying to fix her self up after spending thirty minutes in the bathroom. I noticed she had changed after we started to date, she suddenly loved to dress up and look good. I'm sure she was doing that for me or probably got out of depression and needed to look good but I loved it. "We're leaving this room in a week time aren't we?" I teased and she looked at me from the mirror with a smile on her face. "Take a chill pill bro, I'm just being a woman here" she responded and I couldn't hide the small chuckle that left my mouth. After some while of waiting, she was finally ready to go out with me. I had no idea where to take her to but I guess I would treat us a nice meal before showing her around. She should love it. We entered my car as I drove through the streets of Brazil. My mind wasn't at rest as I kept on looking at the mirror hoping no car was follow

ISABELLA'S POV"Then leave" his voice came out deep and strong that it caught me off. I wasn't expecting him to say that to me and my heart just broke."What did you just say?" My voice croaked but there was no sign of emotion on his face. I was stuck on whether to believe this was my Zachary or not. I could feel the hot fluids flowing down my eyes already."You heard me right Isabella!" He flatly responded, a sting of pain and bitterness found its way to my heart. It hurt badly that I couldn't breathe well neither could I say anything for some while. I stared at him in disbelief wondering if I had been talking to another man all along since I came to Brazil."Zach what...what have become of you?" My weak voice couldn't complete the sentence at once as it kept on breaking."This is me, this has been me all along and perhaps you were expecting too much from me" he dropped another

I realised the only way I could have Isabella back and win her trust is by telling her nothing but the truth about my past and about why I had acted that way towards her. I'll be ready to face whatever happens before then even if she decides to leave me but then I would know I wasn't being a coward anymore. I started to have doubts if I truly wanted her to know and if truly I am ready to accept whatever happens next. I know it's normal to have doubts but I just hope my doubts doesn't over power me from telling her the truth. I drove back home from the airport and walked straight into my room, staring at the mirror I realized I had changed a lot from the Zach back then, the old Zach was brutal ad cared less for anyone's emotions but the new Zach is a changed person who wouldn't want to hurt anyone in order to make his love happy. I hope she would see me for the new me and not criticize me for my wrong doings just like everyone had done in
