ISABELLE'S POV.For a brief moment the entire room was somewhat awkward but I smiled and adjusted my collar like nothing happened..“ Oh I actually had a mild accident in the bathroom, it's fine..” I lied through my teeth while staring at Kristen who didn't spare me a glance but of course I knew I was gonna get in trouble with this..Elizabeth and the rest were obviously not convinced..“ Are you sure about that, dear? You know you can always talk to me..” mom said while trying to coarse the answer outta me but I was determined to keep it away from them..“ I'm-”“ It's so loud in here…” Kristen coldly said and I quietly walked towards the couch and took a seat right beside him..Mom and Elizabeth shared a knowing look but didn't say a word while Stefan kept staring at his brother..I wonder what's going on in their heads.“ Why are you here by the way?

Warren and I only met up for business.” I summoned the courage to explain myself even though it looked like Kristen wasn't gonna listen to me..“ Hello, old friend..” Warren smirked proudly but suddenly got punched hard by Kristen, bursting his lips in the process..I covered my mouth in shock when I saw his bleeding mouth..“ Only talk when you're spoken to…” Kristen calmly warned him but Warren wouldn't stop laughing.“ As you, you're coming with me.” Kristen grabbed hold of my wrist and tried to pull away from Warren but he suddenly caught my other wrist
