She finished reading the last pages of her diary and put it on the coffee table. She was completely astonished by what was written there. With each word, with each sentence, Isabelle was able to see the exact moment when she had written all that. She was sixteen, she was in the kitchen, together with Lucy... On that day, her mother was buried. Her father, who wasn’t fully recovered after the surgery, had locked himself up in his room. Isabelle knew that on that night, he would drink until he would pass out.          Isabelle stayed in the kitchen with Lucy. They drink a cup of tea and Belle tried to calm down a little. She closed her eyes and was able to feel even now the pain of that day, but also something else... something she had forgotten in these past crazy years. At the funeral, she had met a boy who had come there with the Graysons. He was tall, with short, as

        A broad smile appeared on Shawn's lips and his eyes filled with joy. Those words struck him so unexpectedly and inside he felt an explosion that heated every corner of his body immune for so long to any sign of affection or word of love. He pulled her a little closer towards him and his fingers touched her hair.“I am a total idiot, Belle. I can spot a good deal from a mile away, but I can't give a name to the emotions present in my heart. But now I finally understand,” he said softly.“What are you talking about?” she asked taking another step towards him.“I understand now why I think about you every day and night, why I can't close my eyes without seeing your face...” His hand caressed Isabelle's face and smiled at her in a different, new way. “Tomorrow it scares me, it makes

       The warm breeze caressed the petals of the white roses resting on the cold marble of Andrew and Michelle Baldwin’s grave. Until this day, until this visit at the cemetery, Isabelle had foolishly hoped that this wasn't true, that her father was still alive. But the moment she saw the grave, Isabelle felt like she was about to faint. She would’ve fallen if Shawn hadn't been there to catch her fall and hold her in his arms. Shawn held her like this and cradled her as if she was being a child again and let her cry. He was feeling sick seeing her like this, knowing that all this was his fault. After a while, Isabelle managed to calm down and the tears stopped running down her cheeks. She remained in Shawn’s arms, she needed to stay there for a while, she needed his force to feel better. They sat on a stone bench near the grave. Shawn didn't want to make her stand up too much. Looking at her, he knew the time had co

        Shawn opened his eyes and felt that his head was about to explode. So many days had passed since the last time he got so drunk. He turned slightly to his right and saw a woman’s half-naked body beside him. He closed his eyes and sighed when he recognized who she was. Danielle... He ran his hand over his face in desperation trying to understand what the hell had happened after going to Danielle's guest room with a whiskey bottle in his hand. But he was incredibly hungover and it was hard for him to put all the pieces together of what happened after he had finished drinking the whole bottle.          He got up from the bed slowly, without making too much noise, and realized that he was wearing only his boxers. Someone had undressed him and put him in bed. He was so drunk that he took his clothes off? Hell, he had to stop drinking so much! Sha

“You don't want to tell us what happened?” Marie asked. “What did the lawyer say to you?”“The things he said showed me what my father thought of me. After hearing everything, I no longer had doubts about what I should do from now on. That's why I chose to leave this place. It's not about you, it's about me and what I want to do from now on.”          She said goodbye to everyone and went up to her room. Lucy followed her after a few minutes and found Isabelle sitting in the armchair near the window. She approached her and sat down in front of Isabelle. Maybe she couldn't talk to the Graysons, but she knew her sweet girl, she knew when something was wrong.“Baby girl, tell me what's going on?” she asked softly.“I just found out that
