ALEXANDER "What progress have they made?" asked Andrew referring to the search for Isabella's father.A month had already passed, Isabella was fully recovered from the blows but still did not wake up, the doctors said that everything was fine, but still there was no response from her and it was too scary to see that the days passed and she still could not open her eyes, it had us all very desperate.During this time Andrew and I found a way to be moderately at peace, after all we spent too much time in the hospital with Isabella, so we had to find a way to support each other, we could not make a scene in the hospital and it was too uncomfortable to be always hostile to a person you are with every day."Everything is still the same, they are looking for him but he hasn't left any trace" I answered frustrated.I was tired of Isabella remaining in a coma while that coward was free, without paying for what he did to her.It was very frustrating to know that he hurt his daughter so much o
ISABELLA My mind woke up first but my body was still not responding and I could start to hear hints of a conversation in the distance in which I was not able to recognize any voice and I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't open them and I didn't know where I was, but there could only be two answers, in a hospital or lying right where I fainted, I still couldn't believe what my dad was capable of and it scared me to think of having to face anger again, but not recognizing any pain in my body made me wonder if it was just a nightmare, but I quickly denied it, because it had all been too real and it had all hurt too much to be just a dream.Soon I began to hear more clearly and I could recognize who the voices belonged to and I was relieved that none of them belonged to my dad."Will you still be her boyfriend even if she never wakes up? Are you going to tell me that you would wait for her for the rest of your life?" I heard Andrew ask, they were talking about me, but I was confused ab
ISABELLA "Alexander is here, he wants to see you," says Caroline entering the room with two cups of coffee in her hands."Tell him to come in.""Really?" asked Andrew puzzled. "I thought you didn't want to see him.""Yeah, let him come in." I repeated, hoping I was making the right decision.I had to cut this out at once, it was the healthiest thing for both of us, I think if I didn't agree to see him he would keep insisting and it was better to clear everything up as soon as possible.Caroline came out to tell him to come in and there he was, looking as stunning as ever, but this time when I took a better look at him, I could tell he had lost weight and that made my heart squeeze."Hi, how have you been feeling?" he asked with a small smile, but I could tell he was nervous."Please leave us alone" I said looking towards Caroline and Andrew."Are you sure?" asked the latter looking unconvinced."Yes, please" I said and they both walked out."Please sit down" I said pointing to the cou
ISABELLA Today I was going to be discharged from the hospital and I had to figure out what to do, I didn't even have a place to go, I only had the little money I had saved in my account, because everything else was gone.The bank had repossessed everything my dad had in his name and he had never put anything under mine, not even the car he had given me, so everything was just gone and my life was totally changed.I was a little afraid to face these new changes, but after all, it was what I had always wanted, not the way things happened, but I had always wanted to get away from my dad and be free at last, not to be afraid of saying or doing something to offend him and end up getting beaten up.I wouldn't have to worry about that anymore and even though I knew I had to depend on myself I knew it would be worth it, plus I had wonderful friends supporting me.I knew I could count on them and that was amazing, I loved having people as good as them around me, they gave me so much more stre
ISABELLA Today was the end of my semester and I was happy to be able to pass all my subjects with good grades despite the things that happened during these months, and this meant a lot to me, because there were days when it was too difficult to study when I thought about my dad or Alexander.I had missed him like crazy all this time and I didn't know how I restrained myself not to call him but I had done it and that was another achievement although not a satisfactory one.An accomplishment that my heart was not at all happy with, all my nights I thought about him and even dreamed of being in his arms again and in my days it never left my mind, I always wondered how he would be and if he missed me as much as I did."It's good that this semester is finally over" says Caroline with a smile, she was super happy."Yeah, that's great" I concurred as we walked."Hey can you go by yourself today? Use my car, I'm going to Mike's.""This..." I hadn't finished speaking when I hear someone inter
ALEXANDER Since I said goodbye to Isabella that day everything has become so monotonous, I went back to my job at last, but the things I used to enjoy I haven't felt the same.I feel an emptiness in my heart that I have not been able to fill with anything, and instead my mind is full of her, she is all I can think about and she has even crept into my dreams.I have been about to call her a million times to tell her that I am dying to see her, but I have held back not wanting to disturb her peace, after everything she has been through I just want her to be happy, even if it is without me.I just have to find a way to forget her, to get her out of my skin and that's what I'm trying to do today, in one of the most exclusive bars in Manhattan located on the top floor of a building from which you can see the city.Seeing all the lights around me as I take another sip of my drink, I look at my companion for tonight, an old friend, who looks perfect today, hoping I can take her to my bed.A
ISABELLA Soon the day came to fly to New York, my stomach was upset by the nerves of starting something new, in a different place and where there was a chance to meet again with the man I love and missed too much, being both in the same city again filled me with anxiety, if forgetting him was difficult knowing that I had no chance of seeing him, forgetting him knowing that I can meet him at any time seemed impossible.I knew that I would be constantly thinking about whether I would see him that day, while secretly wishing it would be so and at the same time being afraid that it would happen.But I had already made a decision and I had to deal with it, plus I can't dwell on something that may never happen. So here I was at the airport saying goodbye to my friends to go in search of a new beginning."I'm going to miss you so much" Caroline said hugging me "if you don't feel comfortable there I'll be happy to welcome you back to my home, you'll always have open doors.""Thank you for th
ISABELLA I had already started college and had gotten a job at a bar as a waitress at night, because it would not interfere with my classes and with the tips I could save more to move out of Andrew's apartment. Besides, the bar was great, one of the most expensive in New York, and the people there were very wealthy, so the pay and tips were good, and the people there were not much trouble.As for living with Andrew and Maddie I think things were not going so well, they were still very nice, but things felt really tense between the two of them, well that's how I was feeling and I was afraid that my stay there could be the reason, so I was doing everything I could to save as much as possible to leave as soon as possible."Isa, go clean that table and put it as reserved, someone important is coming," ordered my boss pointing to a table in the back of the establishment, more hidden than the others, where the lights of the place almost did not focus, it was VIP.As if this person did not
