Owen's eyes widened in shock. Does he want me? me? Owen?.
Haru saw the look on his face and sighed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that... or said that.". He put Owen down and turned away. "I should probably go," Haru said and left. Owen sighed and carried Fluffy in his arms. NEXT DAY Everyone was in the dining room except Haru. "Aren't you gonna eat before you go?" Isa asked, confused. "I'm not hungry," Haru replied. He wanted to go to school immediately. Isa stood up and took her bag. They all stared at her in confusion. "Let's go," Isa said to Haru and they both left. Owen sighed and stared at his plate. He stood up and went upstairs. "Is he okay?" Skylar asked; even though Owen is always mean to her, she couldn't help but worry about him. "To be honest, he's never been okay," Niall responded. I'm sure he'll be fine. "What's going on?", Isa asked. "Don't tell me it's nothing. "It's nothing serious," Haru replied. "Spill it", Isa said. You don't have to lie to me. Haru sighed, "It's about Owen." "What about Owen?" " I kinda kissed him." "You what? Owen? He's mean as fuck. Haru sighed and kept walking. He didn't want to talk about it. "Do you like him?" Isa asked as she looked at him. "I didn't kiss him because he's beautiful." I know I shouldn't have, but I don't regret it. I couldn't control myself. "Just to be clear, it's the same Owen we're talking about. Owen North." "Yeah", Haru replied as he stared at her weirdly. "I'll just avoid him." "Will that work?" "I won't know unless I try. How are things with Nolan? You guess don't seem okay.” "It's probably because we're not okay. It's... complicated. I don't know if I still like him. This all feels wrong; you get what I mean, right?" Isa asked as they entered the school. "I do. You'll figure something out." Haru said with pride. LAST PERIOD* ROOFTOP "I'm not supposed to be here," Isa said as she looked at Nolan; avoiding him was difficult. Nolan saw Isa and hugged her tightly. Isa was about to break the hug when Nolan slammed his lips on hers. This was one of the many reasons she avoided him. It feels wrong. "Are you okay? Nolan asked as she looked at her. "I'm fine", Isa said as she avoided his eyes. "You sure?" Isa nodded and held his hand. "Let's go," Isa said. NORTH MANSION "Are you okay?", Niall said as he stared at Owen. "I'm fine, don't worry about it", Owen replied. "Are you sure?", Niall asked. "I said I'm fine. So, drop it." Owen said and crossed his legs. Yup, fine. Skylar stared at Owen. She wanted to say something but held back. Haru and the others entered. Immediately Haru saw Owen, he went upstairs. Isa also went upstairs. "This is weird," Cameron said as he dropped the magazine he was reading. Skylar also went upstairs but she bumped into Isa. "I'm so sorry," Skylar said. She was a little scared. "You don't have to panic. Besides. Besides, I bumped into you." Isa said and Skylar sighed. "I didn't want to get on anyone's nerves." Skylar was still frightened by what happened with Owen. She certainly didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Suddenly, Nolan appeared and Isa turned white as a ghost. Nolan didn't see anything and just went to his room. Isa exhaled hardly. "Are you okay? you looked like you saw a ghost." "I'm fine," Isa said. "If you say so" Skylar was about to leave when Isa suddenly called her name. "I'm not okay," Isa said as she was about to cry. " Do you swim?", Skylar asked as she smiled softly. POOL As Skylar came out of the pool, Isa couldn't help but stare at her. She was mesmerizing. "I'm sorry I made you swim. It's something I do to calm myself down." "Oh, it's fine," Isa said as she came out of the pool. She took a towel and dried herself. "Now, tell me what's bothering you," Skylar said and Isa sighed. "It's Nolan." "What about him?" "I couldn't go a day without thinking about him. After my parents died and I came here, he was the one who took care of me. Dad was always working to pay for Mom's hospital bills and didn't even have time to take care of me. Nolan made me feel special. Being important to him was enough for me. To be honest, when he left, I was broken. I cried every day, waiting for him to come back, but now, I don't think I love him anymore. Don't get me wrong, I know he didn't abandon me and I don't reset him or anything. It's just that the feelings are not there anymore." Isa said and sighed. Cameron entered and smiled. "Hi", he said to Isa as he looked at Skylar. "Did you think I disappeared again?", Skylar asked as she glared at him. "Of course not. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You know, we haven't talked much since what happened with Owen." "You guys need to calm down. Owen is like that. He's always like that, I think it's more of a defense mechanism or something. Aside from that, he's naturally mean. He's a devil, just ignore him. Besides, you'll get used to it." Isa said and Cameron sighed. " I just wanted to make sure you weren't bothered," Cameron said softly. "I'm fine. Besides, I've got you," Skylar said, and Cameron smiled. Skylar watched him as he left. "Mom never cared about us. She was always with her lovers. Even though we are the same age, he always looks after me. He's my Superman." Skylar said and smiled. "I know how that feels", Isa said and Skylar held her hands. "I get you. I do. It's probably because you guys just reunited. You've gotten used to his absence. I think you should spend more time with him and if you still feel the same way, you guys should probably break up." That's the only solution. I'm sure the feelings will come back to her. Isa hugged Skylar tightly. "Thank you so much, I've been worried out of my mind." Skylar smiled and hugged her back. Owen entered and ignored them. He bent down next to the pool and sighed. "Is he okay?", Skylar whispered. "I don't know" "Do you think he got his heart broken?", Skylar asked. "He doesn't have one", Isa replied and Owen glared daggers at them. " Yup, he's fine," Isa said as they left. :Owen's Pov I sighed as they left. I can't stop thinking about what Haru said. How can someone like him be interested in me? He's probably trying to get back at me. He even stole my first kiss. Owen shuddered as he touched his lips.He felt a tingling sensation in his ears. I smelled blood. I stared at my reflection in the pool and ... I was right. My ears were bleeding. "Fuck!" I cursed as I cleaned the blood with a towel. I stood up and left the pool. I entered my room and I locked the door. Why are my ears bleeding again? Seriously? I sat at the edge of my bed. Fluffy barked and I carried him. He looked different. I should probably take him to the vet. "Don't worry, boy, I'll take you to the vet tomorrow", I said. "Well, if I don't bleed to death", I added and Fluffy looked at me. "I was just kidding. I'm not going anywhere, I promise." THE NEXT DAY* DINING TABLE Isa was surprised when she saw the triplets in the school un
To everyone out there that were abandoned.Isa's Pov I never thought that I would return to Icarus Falls. I can't believe I once lived here. It brings back so many bad memories. Isa sniffled as she remembers the first day she arrived in Icarus Falls.Flashback Isa fell on her butt as Ryan North, father of the North triplets walked towards her. "Your dad borrowed money from me and since he's dead , I will take you as a compensation. You will live here and work every single day of your life till I get my money's worth." Isa cried as she remembers the day her dad came home beaming with smiles . He had borrowed money from Ryan North for his wife's heart transplant only for her to die three days after the surgery. Out of frustration, Isa's dad took his life.As if being an orphan wasn't bad enough, she had to work for this heartless man and his family to pay back the money her dad borrowed."Understood?" Ryan said, bringing her back to the present. "Yes sir", she replied trying to h
Japan Nolan's Pov It's been four years. Grandma shipped me off to Japan, dad killed mom , I have no idea what became of my brothers. Grandma said she fixed everything, she is the most kind hearted human I know. Her only sin is giving birth to dad. Now, she wants me to return to Icarus Falls. I'm pretty sure she's up to something. She didn't tell me what it is and I didn't ask. The one person I'm scared of seeing is Isa. Even though I miss her so much, she hates me. I don't think she'll want to see me. I broke her heart. I didn't want to, but I had no choice. I had to follow dad's command. I couldn't let anything happen to mom. Sometimes, I wonder how unfortunate she is to have fallen in love with a man like my father. Flashback "Mom!" Nolan called out to his mother as he couldn't see her because the room was pitch black. Ryan had been keeping her in an underground cellar for eight years. No one knew she was there, untill Nolan found her. "My baby", Sere
Owen's Pov I wasn't a healthy child. I was born with chronic asthma which apparently no one in our family ever had. It started from me. When I was two years old, I developed meningitis and I spent two years in the hospital. The day I was to be discharged, dad sent my nanny to pick me up and on our way back home, we had an accident. It was a collision with an oncoming vehicle. I was back at the hospital again. I was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, unfortunately my nanny didn't make it. She died on the spot. When I came to, I realised that the doctor's lips were moving. Like, he was talking to me but I couldn't hear a thing. I wanted to tell him that I couldn't hear what he was saying but when I opened my mouth to talk, nothing came out. The doctors were alarmed. They ran some tests and they discovered that my auditory nerve had been damaged. The impact of the crash led to a temporal bone fracture which resulted in permanent hearing loss in both ears. After seve
Niall's Pov I'm Niall, Nolan and Norman's brother. There's not much to say about me. I spent most of my life in the hospital. I have osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. It causes the tissues in the joints to break down all the time. I got it from my grandpa. My life sucks, I know. I can't walk long distance or hold objects for more than thirty seconds. Sometimes, I can't walk or even stand up. I was bed ridden for a long time. But now, things are looking up for me. I left the hospital few months ago. A woman came and she introduced herself as my grandma, dad's mom. I think I remember her but I'm not sure. Not everyone remembers people from when they were young. The hospital was my home.I don't know a lot of things. She told me that I had another brother. I thought Nolan was the only brother I had, but I was wrong. Apparently he also lived in the hospital. He is hearing impaired and also has chronic asthma. It sucks right?, I know. We all hav
Nolan's Pov I sighed as the gate was opened. I was back in Icarus Falls. My watch's incessant beeping took me out of my reverie. Haru knew that I was nervous and he held my hand and squeezed it . " Everything's gonna be fine. I'm not going anywhere, we'll do this together." Haru said and I sighed. The car was pulled to a stop and we came out. I saw my house and the memories crashed like a wave. I went in and Haru followed. I recognized Niall immediately. He was holding his crutches. I saw another guy with hair like blood. I would have said red but his hair reminds one of blood. He wore hearing aids. "He's cute." Haru whispered in my hear. "Gross" I replied. "You're Norman, right?" I asked the guy with the blood like hair. "I prefer Owen." He replied curtly."Geez" Haru said as he rolled his eyes. "I saw that." Owen said. "Is he your boyfriend?" Niall asked. "No", I replied. "He's my friend, Haru, Enami Haruto." I said." Haru, this is Niall." I said as I
Isa's Pov After Mrs North's demise and Mr North's disappearance, I started living in their house, all by myself. I didn't have anywhere else to go. I miss Nolan. He was the only friend I had. I started school but I didn't make any friends, I was scared they would leave eventually. I've been living with Niall for a few months, Owen joined last month. He can be a handful but he's really nice and attentive. He's really funny too. He reminds me of Nolan. They're so alike. Grandma said Nolan was coming back. She didn't tell us the day he was coming. I sighed as I walked into the lounge. I was about to climb the stairs when I suddenly had the urge to look back. I looked back slowly, and I saw him. The person I always wanted to see and also dreaded seeing. "Nolan" I said as my heart skipped a beat. "Aren't you surprised to see me?" He asked. "It's not like you're a celebrity or that she was awaiting your arrival." Owen said curtly. He took off his hearing aids, placed them in th
"Hey, can we talk?" Nolan said to Isa. "Sure" she replied. "I just wanna apologize, I'm really sorry, for everything." Nolan added. "It's fine, you don't have to apologize." Isa said. "I think... Nolan said but was interrupted by Isa. "I said it's fine. You being back here doesn't change anything. I was a fool for thinking that you actually liked me." Isa said. "I know you never liked me. Alphonso told me and it's fine, really." She added. "What do you mean Alphonso told you?, and you believed him?" Nolan asked. "How dare he speak about my feelings?, do you know how much it hurt?, to lie to you. You have no idea how much my heart ached. All this years, I wanted to make everything right." Nolan said as tears ran down his face. "How exactly are you gonna do that?, she doesn't like you anymore?" Owen said. "Hey!" Niall said. "It's true, I think she likes the Japanese guy." Owen added. "Yeah, right. They just met yesterday." Niall said. "Sorry to burst your bubble Owen

Isa woke up next to Nolan. Apparently, he had woken up before she did. " Hi", Isa said and Nolan greeted her back. " I'm sorry about yesterday, you probably didn't want to", Isa said as she sat up. She was naked but she didn't care. "You don't have to apologize. It's my job to make your wishes a reality even if we're no longer together." Isa smiled and stood up. "I should probably prepare for school." She said awkwardly as she put on her clothes and left the room. She bumped into Owen on her way to her room. She was nervous. "You finally chose the dick you want." Owen said and walked away. What a weirdo, Isa thought. "Hey", Owen said as he entered Haru's room. Haru sighed when he saw Owen. "Aren't you going to school?", Haru asked and Owen shrugged. " Why are you here again?", Haru asked and Owen sat. "You haven't accepted my apology" Owen said. "If you don't, I'll keep coming. Hurry up, I don't really like going
FEW DAYS LATER , NOON Isa's Pov I thought Nolan would be bothered by the triplets' arrival but he didn't seem to care. I didn't care either, the more the merrier. I stood up and went to my room. I took out phone and dialed Maeve's number, immediately I heard her voice, I sighed. "So, how did it go with Nolan?" "What do you mean how did it go?, we didn't go anywhere", Isa replied sarcastically. She was wondering why Maeve wanted things to happen between her and Nolan. "That means you're not worried about losing your virginity. You'll eighteen in barely twelve months" "I know that", Isa said and sighed. She always wanted Nolan to be her first and now, he's back. "Are you scared?", Maeve asked and Isa huffed. "You think I'm scared of losing my virginity?, was that meant to be funny?", Isa asked and laughed a little. "Well then , if you're not scared why haven't you guys fucked yet?" "We aren't exactly on talking terms", Isa replied
"I'm bored." Isa said. "I'm bored too." Niall replied. ,"Well, aren't we all bored", Owen said with a hint of annoyance. "Do you think it's possible that Mr North has other kids?"Isa said. "What do you mean?" Niall asked. "I just think it's possible that's your dad has other kids , you know with another woman. Isa said. "That's disgusting. Why would you even imagine that?" Owen asked. "I don't know", She replied. "I know dad was a beast, but do you think it's possible?" Niall asked. "My God" Owen said angrily. " Can you guys just stop it?" "Wait", Isa said. " Are you uncomfortable.?" She asked. "Very", Owen replied. " Isa ignored him and continued. Haru came in and joined the discussion. "What's shaking guys?" He asked as he sat down beside Niall. "What's shaking?, Are we in the ninetys?" Owen said and scoffed. "If you're curious, Isa said. "Don't", Owen said. "We're thinking of the possibility that Ryan North has other kids aside the North brothers" Isa said. "I think i
