Isabella's POV

As soon as I woke up from the dream, I was really scared and I tried to calm myself down.

In the dream I saw that I had gone back to Mike and life has become a living hell for me again. He was still maltreating me, raining insults on me and also belittling me in the presence of everybody.

The dream scared me so bad I thought he was back to make me suffer again.

I was so happy as I realised that it was a dream, I felt very relaxed and calm.

I stood there for a few seconds waiting for someone or anyone to come save me.Since no one was in sight to come to save me, I placed a very light knock on Nate's door wishing he didn't hear and I could go and tell Lisa I didn't see him in his room.Well, that was all wishes and they were swept away immediately as Nate answered the door.In two seconds he opened the door and what I saw was breathtaking.I think he just stepped out of the bathroom because he was tying a towel around his waist, his hair was wet from water and he smelled like bathing soap, fresh out of the bathro
