"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

I continued to go round the hospital asking every single nurse or doctor that comes my way but still no positive response. I was getting really worried and almost broke down in tears but decided to search for her in every way possible.I thought she must have gone to her father's house but the moment I drove there, the doors were locked and everything was still the way it was before I rushed her father to the hospital. She wasn't here either.I went back into my car to continue the search for her, perhaps she went to Grace house to talk to Joe or so I thought. The moment I got there I met Grace sitting outside with Joe as she gently stroked the poor crying boy's hair."Grace!" I called for her attention and she turned to look at me."What brings you here?" She asked with a little smile on her face. But I wasn't here for the greetings either so I instantly cut her off."Where's Is

"Hello there!" She smiled even though the smile didn't last long on her face before falling."Can I?" She motioned at me to create space for her to enter the room. As much as I didn't want anything else to hurt Isabella, she was her mother after all and perhaps she came to console Isabella so I created a space for her to pass.Another lady in a corporate dress followed behind her after flashing me a death glare or perhaps that was how she looked at people. Some other two men in suit tried to enter the room but she had gestured at them to wait outside the door while she was in the room with the other lady. There was no possible way I would let her in this room alone with Isabella so I walked closer to them."What a fine apartment you have here darling" she said to Isabella whose eyes have been on Fiona ever since she entered the room. I could see the flame of hatred burning in her eyes but her physical strength wasn't mat

ISABELLA'S POVLife can indeed change in moments and the fact that you think you've found a source of happiness could be really scary when your happiness leaves you in the least expected moments.I watched how Zach went into the kitchen to make something for me to eat even though I didn't tell him to, I wasn't sure I would be able to eat the food with my lack of appetite. I was stuck in between believing what he said to me or not but then if it was really true it means I couldn't trust him or put my trust in him. What if I also get pregnant for him and he abandons me just like he did to that girls. Perhaps the reason why he doesn't want to have sex with me was because he knew he would abandon me if I get pregnant.I was lost in my thoughts when I heard Zach's footsteps approaching me. He hadn't been talking much to me after my father died though or perhaps I was just the one who have been grieving too much to notice.

The priest had arrived while I kept on staring at the silver coffin that was laying beside the six foot hole dug for it. The burial was to start in about thirty minutes but Zach and I were the only present ones around.I loved the fact he stood by me through all of these and made sure I laughed, he realized I wouldn't eat any thing but came up with a smart plan to only make toasts because they're irresistible.Shortly after, a black car pulled over, it belonged to the Andersons. I watched how they hopped down from their expensive car and walked towards us; they somehow have different cars for different occasions."Isabella" Joe greeted as he welcomed me with a hug which I returned with a kiss on his forehead.
