Isabella's POVRight now, it felt like my world was at a standstill, but it was also spinning out of control all at the same time.I stayed in my room all day because I didn't want to see anyone, my mind could not stop itself from thinking about the mess that I had just put myself into. I was in love with someone that belonged to another.'' Ugh,'' I groaned out, as I was currently being consumed by a huge wave of emotions.'' Isabella, what is going on with you,'' I scolded myself.I was still lost in thought when the door opened and Mary walked in with a tray of food in hand.'' Hey, I brought you dinner, because I knew you wouldn't want to come down as always,'' Mary said and I smiled.'' Thank you, I don't know what I would have done without you,'' I let out, as I was thankful that she was here because I was quite hungry.'' I know, I am kind of your favourite person in this house,'' Mary smiled, saying.'' Of course, you are Mary, you are my only favourite person in this house,'
Isabella's POVEven as my mind had a mind of its own, I still tried to get some sleep, though it was so hard to do because now my dreams were haunted by the memories of that night, some were good, but most of them were horrible, as I still saw myself holding Xander's bloody body in my hand's once again.Thankfully, I drifted back to reality when I heard a knock at the door.I quickly opened my eyes, blinking profusely as the rays of the sunrise threatened to blind me.Getting comfortable in the light, I heard the knock yet again, so I stood up and walked over to the door.Opening it, I was Manny standing there with a huge bouquet of white roses in his hands.I was kind of surprised seeing him here so early this morning, with flowers in his hands.'' Manny what is this?'' I asked.'' I am sorry,'' He let out with remorse laced in his voice.And I was wondering why he was apologising, but then I remembered the argument we had yesterday, and to the heavens, I forgot about that.'' Hey, I
Isabella's POVI walked towards Xander's room with Manny, and my heart was beating out of control and I didn't even know why. No that was a lie, I actually did know why. Because ever since that night my heart knew what it wanted, it has filled me with nothing but fear, knowing now that my heart could not have what it desired. Taking in a deep breath, Manny walked me into the room, Xander's eyes were closed and it looked like he was asleep, but the second I stepped in, his eyes flung up. A smile crept onto his face but it died down immediately as soon as he saw Manny by my side. A scowl sat pretty on his face as his eyes drifted between me and Manny. '' Why are you here?'' Xander asked as his eyes trailed on me now. '' We came to see how you are doing,'' Manny quickly answered as I shivered nonstop under his gaze, as I slowly found myself getting lost in his eyes. '' Oh is that so,'' Xander asked as his eyes never left me. '' Yes, we came to see how you doing, and we can see t
Isabella's POVI was drowning in an ocean of invading thoughts, and Xander was at the centre of it all. It felt like he was the only thing I could think of lately, even when I knew I didn't want to.I was with Manny in the car right now, but it felt like I wasn't.'' Are you okay babe,'' I soon heard Manny ask.'' Yes, I am,'' I smiled, looking up at him.'' Are you sure because you have been very quiet and you are never this quiet,'' Manny let out and I shook my head.'' I am fine, I just have a little headache, that is all,'' I lied.'' Oh my, do you want us to go to the doctor first,'' Manny asked and I shook my head.'' No, don't bother yourself, It is just a headache,'' I said and Manny nodded as he held onto my hand, kissing it softly.'' Don't worry, we will soon get to where we are going, and I am sure if you see where I am taking you too, you will feel much better,'' Manny let out, and I forced myself to smile.'' I can not wait,'' I lied again as I turned my head to look out
Isabella's POV''Do not say those words to me again,'' I whispered, and Manny looked at me confused.'' Isabella why? why shouldn't I tell you that I love you?'' Manny asked.'' Because you can not love me,'' I let out as my eyes trailed to the floor.'' Isabella, why is that? Remember we do not choose who we love,'' Manny asked.'' You can not love someone like me, Manny, when all this is all over, I will leave this place and I don't know if this love you have for me will survive the outside world,'' I answered, but I knew that was not the real reason.'' Isabella, look at me,'' he said as he lifted my head to look at him.'' I do not care, I love you and that is all that matters, and when all this is over we will figure it out okay,'' Manny said.'' But what if,'' I wanted to protest but Manny stopped.''As I said before, you don't have to say those words back to me right now, I will wait for as long as it takes because you are worth it. And this love I have for you is big enough fo
Isabella's POV I just told Mia about my feelings for the Draco, and she was so happy about it, but now she is looking at me with an unreadable look in her eyes.'' Mia say something please.'' I let out because what she just said was not what I wanted to hear.'' Isa what else do you want me to say, like I said it was about time you finally recognized your feelings for him, so tell me what are you going to do now, are you going to tell Manny that you are in love with the Draco,'' Mia said and I shook my head.'' That is the problem, Mia. I am in a dilemma right now. How do you expect me to tell Manny that? He has been nothing but good to me. I can not bring myself to break his heart,'' I said and Mia rolled her eyes.'' So what are you saying? Are you going to stay with a man that you don't love?'' Mia asked.'' I never said that I didn't love him,'' I let out and Mia laughed.'' You didn't have to, it is written all over your face,'' Mia said and I breathed out heavily.'' I care ab
Isabella's POV''I am sure it will all work itself out,'' Mia said, and I smiled.'' I hope so because it feels like my world is currently taking a 360 turn,'' I let out, and Mia rolled her eyes.'' How can you say that when your life is just like those we see in the movies, it is so exciting, you know,'' Mia said, and I shook my head.''Nothing is exciting about my life right now; it is filled with constant fear and uncertainty,'' I said.'' But, anyways, why don't we go in? I feel like my bed is calling me right now, thanks to the alcohol,'' I said, and Mia smiled as we both got out of the car, making our way inside.'' What about work? Wouldn't Dan be mad that you didn't show up? I know how he can be,'' I asked.'' Don't worry about it, because when I mentioned my absence had to do with the Draco, Dan was as quiet as a church rat,'' Mia answered, and I smiled.We got into the house, and it was so dark and quiet, so we slowly made our way upstairs, but then I heard Xander's voice wh
Xander's POV It is not news anymore that I was shot at the charity ball. It all happened so fast that I didn't see my attacker's face because all I wanted to do was protect Bella, and I did, and don't regret taking a bullet for her because she was everything to me, and that kiss we shared was something that can win even a thousand men's hearts.But to my greatest surprise, I saw her back in Manny's arms when I woke up.It was impossible to contain my anger and jealousy, but I had to because I knew she was not mine to keep, and maybe that kiss we shared was not as different as I thought it was.But there was this look in her eyes that had me wondering if being with Manny was what she wanted.At first, I wasn't sure about it, but every time I saw her in Manny's arms, that look was there.And that was when I knew I had to talk to her. I needed to decipher that look in her eyes.She was out with Mia all day, and I couldn't wait for her to return because, honestly, I wouldn't say I liked
