Isabella

Calix led me to the room where everyone was sitting and chatting, waiting or already eating their food.

Just like he said, there was good music and a small dance floor. Just as he was leading me to the dance floor, my eyes met another pair.

Those damn green eyes.

Greyson was staring right at me.

We held eye contact as I stopped walking. Calix turned around, confused why I stopped walking.

"Isabella? Everything okay?" He asked. He looked the same direction I was looking and his gaze stopped on Greyson.

"Who's-" Calix said but I cut him of with a small gasp as he stood up and walked towards us.

His friends he was sitting with looked confused at him suddenly standing up and walking away.

"Isabella? What are you doing here? Who's that?" He asked. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I was still in shock but I snapped myself out of it.

"Greyson, this is Calix, Calix this is Greyson." I said fast. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I asked first." He said with one eyebrow raised.

"She's here with me." Calix said as he took a step closer to Greyson. I grabbed his arm and pulled him next to me.

"Easy there Calix. I got this." I said as I looked at him. He kept his gaze focused on Greyson but eventually turned to me and we locked eyes.

I slowly nodded and he relaxed for a bit.

"Do your brothers know?" He asked.

"No, and let's keep it that way." I said with narrowed eyes, Apollo sensing my anger started growling at Greyson. Greyson looked confused at Apollo but Apollo started to show his teeth.

"You can't ask that from me, Isabella." He said, looking back up at me.

"I just did, it's up to you if you want to be on my bad side or not." I said, taking a step closer as he visually gulped when Apollo also took a step closer.

Yeah, better be scared pretty boy, Apollo is my bodyguard and he's ready to bite anyone's ass.

"Look, I can't let you out with juts a random guy." He said looking straight back at me.

"He's not a random guy."

"I'm not a random guy." Me and Calix both said angry at the same time.

"You're fifteen Isabella-" He started but Apollo cut him off with a bark.

"And you're not my dad." I said back, getting annoyed now.

"Isabella, I'm just trying to protect you. You're like my little sister." He said with pleading eyes.

Hold up.

Did I just get sister zoned?

"What?" I asked confused.

"Yeah, it's the bro code. My best friend's sister is like my sister." He shrugged with a small smile.

"Good to know." I said a little shocked.

My crush just called me his sister. Great.

"I'm calling-"

"No." I said coldly.

"No?" He said with a raised eyebrow and a don't-you-dare-to-fight-me-on-this look.

"No." I shrugged. "Because if you do that, Greyson dear, you're about to meet the side my brothers met when they forced me to do that stupid test." I said, slowly looking him deadly in the eye.

"I-"

"Listen dude, we're here because we want to have a good time and I've spent way too much time planning this just for you to ruin it." Calix said as he stepped closer to Greyson.

Calix was slightly taller than Greyson even if he was a year younger.

"You think I'm scared of you little boy?" Greyson said as he took a step closer.

He's literally taller-

"You should be." He said dangerously calm.

"Calix let's just go." I said, tugging on his arm. He let me lead him away from Greyson but never turning his eyes away from Greyson.

I stopped, still close enough for Greyson to hear. "If I find out you snitched on me, I swear to god Greyson I will make sure you get something to snitch on to the cops." I said in a deadly glare as Apollo growled, making it even scarier and Greyson visually gulped. Calix tensed next to me and I saw that even he had a slightly panicked expression.

That's right, you don't mess with Isabella mother fucking Castillo and Apollo fucking Castilllo without tasting the sweet flavor of my revenge.

"Let's go." I whispered to Calix as he walked me further to the dance floor, where we were heading to before Greyson stopped us from doing so.

Before we could even say anything, Mia came up to us and she nodded Calix to follow her. Calix grabbed my hand and pulled me to the direction he was heading. Apollo's growl was gone and he was happily walking next to me like nothing happened.

Weird dog

I like.

Calix opened the door for me and I walked in first.

There was this little garden with a huge tree in the corner with hanging branches that covered almost the whole place from sunlight that was now moonlight. They hung up little lights in the hanging branches. There was a blanket at the base of the tree trunk, all small dished placed on it.

"Calix, this is amazing!" I said, still gaping at the little garden. He let out a small chuckle.

"I'm glad you like it. I asked Mia to give us a small portion of everything I most like. I hope you find it good as well." He said as he smiled softly at me.

I smiled back and turned around and walked to the blanket. "It smells amazing."

We sat down and he started explaining every dish before we both took a bite out of it. There was mini pizzas, spaghetti, salads, risotto, meat, seafood, ice cream, crême brulées, chocolate mousse, orange juice, lemon water and a cocktail of forest fruits.

After we almost finished everything up with some small talk here and there, we laid down next to each other, Calix leaning on the three while I was laying on the grass. We were both watching the sky between the branches. I was looking at the moon.

Isn't it funny? The sun gives up her place at the end of every day just so she can shine? And the moon gives up her place back at the end of every night so the sun can shine again?

The moon represent so many people. We say it's full moon yet we can only see half of her. We say we know someone, yet they hide half of their secrets for us...

Yet it also reminds me of that one person.

So bright yet so dark, so known yet so mysterious, we see and hear it, but it's so far away and impossible for a girl like me to reach.

The moon reminds me of my father.

But if the moon is my father, that makes me a wolf. A wolf can't just howl to the moon for no reason, maybe he's in love with it.

Maybe the moon is the real soulmate of a wolf. And the wolf cries to it every month because he knows he will never touch it. He only sees it and it hurts them they never got to know the moon on their own. It hurts they know they will never be reunited.

Like I said, my father is the moon and I'm the wolf.

"Are there things you regret?" Calix asked out of the blue.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Things you wished you've done or haven't done or done differently?" He said, still looking up at the sky.

I let out a long sigh. " I don't even know where to start." I whispered. "You?"

"I don't even know where it ends." He sighs.

"Guess that makes to of us." I said back, looking at him.

We entered a comfortable silence, neither of us saying any thing, just enjoying each other's company.

"What would you do if you had another chance?" Calix asked all of a sudden.

"Another chance at what?" I whispered, still staring at the moon.

"Another chance at life." He whispered back.

It took a while for me to think about his question.

"There's a lot, Calix." I whispered. "But the thing I most regret? Let them in so easy." I whispered.

"Them?" He asked, his attention now fully on me.

"My brothers. I should have never let them in so rushed, so fast and most importantly, I should have never let them away so easily." I said, looking at the ground as I let out a long sigh.

"Do you know what hurts the most? Betrayal." I said. I turned my head a little up and looked Calix right in the eye.

"You know why? Because you know it doesn't come from your enemies, yet you never expect them -the people that you love- betraying you."

"Isab-"

"The best part? The second I looked them in the eye-" I closed my eyes shut as I saw memories pass.

The night they drugged me.

Their first time of betrayal.

"-it was like they never betrayed me." I said, tears forming in my eyes. Calix started to shuffle closer to me but I kept going.

"And I kept on forgiving them, again and again. And I was so blinded by the fact that for once in my life, someone other than myself cared for me that I didn't even see how much I was breaking every second, how much I was in pain." Tears ran down to my cheek as Calix got close enough to wipe them away.

He didn't say anything, his eyes telling me to let it all out.

"Every single time I forgave them, another part of me died." I looked down and took a deep breath.

"I was dying Calix, and I didn't even know it." I said as I looked back up at him and started silent crying.

He pulled me in a hug, not saying anything besides stroking my hair in a way of comfort.

"It's okay." he whispered. "You're going to be okay." He whispered as I started crying out loud.

"Why don't they understand that I can't take it anymore." I cried out. "I can't, I can't act like everything's okay. Like we're fine again, like they didn't shoot me right between my eyes, like they didn't abandoned me." I cried out.

"Shhhhh, you're going to be fine." He whispered as he moved is back and forth. Still hugging me and stroking my hair.

"Look at me Isabella." He said calm after a while.

Slowly, I moved my head so I was now looking up to him.

"I'm not leaving you." And those simple words made me cry out louder, in pain and in relief.

He kept holding me until I stopped crying and he kept holding me when I started crying again.

Every time I thought he was going to loose his grip and let me go, he held me tighter, sensing that I thought he would leave me.

We stayed like this for a while and when I was fully calmed down, I sat up in his arms.

"I'm so sorry for ruining the date, you put so much-"

"I couldn't imagine it better." He said as he kissed my forehead and placed his head on my hair.

"I'm not leaving you." He whispered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while we decided it was time to head back so we drove back to Calix' house.

He didn't speak about my little break down and I was happy he didn't. I was not ready for that conversation.

Apollo followed close by but as soon as he saw the couch, he jumped on it and fell asleep.

Aww my little boy was tired.

As we stepped into his house, his friends were still there and Calix asked me if it was okay if the joined me.

"Sure, I'm okay with that." I smiled.

"Awesome!" Noah said as he side hugged me. I gently took his arm and pushed it away from me.

"We're not on that level yet, Noah." I joked as he smiled awkwardly.

"Well what are we going to do?" Levi asked.

"There's this easy game my friends used to play." Before the abuse.

"Its like beer ping pong but without the beer. Usually we did it with water of with soda. Under every cup the team A can put dares for team B when team A gets the ball into a cup. Same way for team B." I shrugged.

"Sounds fun." Noah gasped.

"Let's do this gorgeous." Levi smiled as Calix glared at him.

"Cool." Hunter said.

"Alright, me, Levi and Hunter against Calix and gorgeous." Levi suggested and everyone agreed.

"Okay let's write down some dares as I set up the table." Noah said as he got up.

"You ready for this?" Calix asked

"Erm, can I clean up somewhere first?" I asked.

After all those tears I felt dry and dirty.

"Yeah, sure. Upstairs second door on your right." He smiled and I smiled back.

"Thank you." I said as I walked up the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"OoOoOh and another strikes the dust!" Calix yelled out.

"That's four against one boys, keep your heads in the game." I winked as I high fived Calix.

"Read it out loud." I said with an evil smile, knowing what their dare is.

"The three of you go life on Instagram. When you have more than 300 viewers together, you start dancing berries and cream." Noah Read but his face fell when he saw 'berries and cream'.

Calix started laughing as I gave a smirk to Hunter who was glaring at me.

"You are a genius!" Calix said as he rolled on the ground from laughter.

"Whatever." They all three said at the same time.

They placed their phones so you could see their whole body and went life. I took my phone and placed him so he was filming.

Calix stood next to his friends as he counted how many people were watching on the three lives.

"Almost 250." He chuckled and Levi growled.

"There goes my reputation." Noah said as he looked up.

"Dude everyone is asking about Calix." They all looked at the questions coming up and hummed.

"Someone is loved by the female population." Noah said as he raised his eyebrows in a teasing manner and winked at him teasingly.

Hunter smacked him on the head as Calix eyes snapped to mine.

It didn't help I was already staring at Calix, I think.

"Idiot." Hunter grunted while Noah rubbed his neck.

I walked towards Calix and started reading the questions.

Hiiii Calix xox

Can you follow me?

Are you single x?

Do you still box?

Are you free tomorrow?

You want to go to prom with me next year?

Was your dad really shot?

Are your eyes blue or green, I can't see because your smile made me blind.

Can we hang out, you know as a couple ;)

Are you into boys xx?

Where are those clothes from?

Did you went to the mall yesterday?

Do you know me?

You wanna grab something to eat with me?

Do you know me, I go to your dad's gym :)

Hi you want to follow me?

Desperate little bitches.

I didn't know that I was now on camera as I was reading the questions that popped up when suddenly all eyes were on me.

Who's that?

Is that your sister?

Is she your girlfriend?

How do you know each other?

Why is she with you?

Are you two together?

What are you two doing?

Where are you?

Who is she?

Is she younger?

Why would you hang out with her?

"Okay, we're over 800 viewers, we can start." Calix said as he moved us out of the camera.

"Don't mind them, their lives are so boring that they stick their noses in ours lives." He whispered and I nodded.

"Uno! Dos! Tres! Go!" He yelled and the three boys started to dance and sing berries and cream.

Me and Calix started laughing and filming the whole show. Calix wrapped his arm around my shoulders casually as we laughed at the three dancing boys.

After a few minutes they stopped and ended their live streams.

"Alright, our turn and I'm throwing the bloody ball." Levi said as he glared at Noah who was chuckling besides him.

Levi took his time but when he threw the little ball, it came right into one of our cups.

"AND THAT'S TWO FOUR BABY." Levi said as he and Noah started dancing.

"Read it out loud love birds." Noah said what made Calix glared at him and I laugh.

I took the paper from.under the cup and unfolded it.

"Change every piece of cloth and jewelry with the other person." I said.

Me and Calix looked at each other in panic.

Okay, I have to admit, that's kinda funny.

"Come on, move it. Go change!" Noah said as he pushed us to two rooms.

Oh god.

Calix was wearing right black ripped pants and a hoodie. Some rings and happy socks.

I was wearing a beanie, cropped black hoodie and black jeans with a necklace and two rings.

"I can't wait to see if Calix can get into Isabella's pants." Noah said before we went into the rooms.

"Dude!" Levi yelled out. Noah's eyes widen when he repeated the sentence in his head.

"No! Not like that of course." He said nervous.

"Chill Noah, I know what you mean." I laughed as I got into the room.

"One day, I will actually hit you." Calix said to Noah outside the door I was behind.

"You already did that. Multiple times." He said in a duh voice.

"Oh right." He said what made me snicker. "Something funny in there little Castillo?" Calix teased.

"Everything's just fine here." I chuckled and I could feel him smirk at me.

After I stripped, I opened the door a little bit and pushed my clothes through it. After a few moments, I got a knock on the door and Calix' clothes laid before the door opening.

I put them on as best as I could. The jeans was way too big and long, the hoodie covered everything above my knees. The rings were too big and the happy socks reached until right below my knees.

I looked like a fool.

A fool in Calix' clothes.

I stepped out of the room and no one said a thing. Then a few moments later they all erupted in laughter.

"Yeah yeah, I'm small he's tall, we get it." I said rolling my eyes.

Right on that time Calix stepped out in my clothes and I couldn't hold back my laughter.

"Do not say a word." He said as I struggled to act normal.

"You look... comfortable." Levi joked.

"I can't even close the damn pants!" Calix yelled out and we all started laughing. "But you look actually really comfortable." He said to me.

"I am, actually." I joked.

"You could actually wear my hoodie as a dress." He laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"Very funny Galanis, very funny." I rolled my eyes again when he laughed harder.

"Look how big your clothes look on her! It's so romantic it makes me want to puke!" Noah said in a sarcastic happy way.

"Your face makes me want to puke." Calix said back.

"How dare you insult my face! My face?! Oh you little-"

"Alright that's enough you idiots." Levi said as he held back Noah

"Our turn!" I said as I took the ping pong ball and passed it to Calix.

He stood next to me as he concentrated on his goal.

With one smooth motion he threw the ball.

"Andddd another dare you suckers! That five against two." I said as I stuck out my tongue.

"For god's sake!" Levi whined and Calix winked at him what made me chuckle.

"What do we have to do?" Noah asked.

"Knock on your neighbor's door and ask if they have three spare condoms." Hunter read.

Me and Calix made eye contact and we fell into a fit of laughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard my alarm go off and I smashed it so I had another five minutes.

"ISABELLA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" My phone said.

Hold up-

"Katie?" I asked in my sleepy voice. I looked around and I was sleeping on the couch, Calix and Hunter on the ground and Noah and Levi on an air mattress.

"Class is about to start and you know how much Mr. Bustier hates your guts!" Katie yelled out.

"Class? What time is it?" I asked, I looked more around and saw that Levi and Calix were slowly waking up.

"It's almost half eleven!" She yelled out what made everyone wake.

"Shit!" I said as I fell out of the couch. "I'm so dead, I'm so dead!"

"What's going on, gorgeous?" Levi asked.

"Are you hurt?" Calix asked

"I knew it! She's a secret agent that works for aliens and she's about to kidnap us because they need us to carry their children because they think we're also secret agents and they think we're females disguised as males!" Noah yelled out as he jumped out of his bed.

"Dude what the actual fuck?" Katie asked through the phone. I picked up the phone and saw I picked her call up and put her on speaker when I thought I was snoozing my alarm.

Everyone looked at Noah with weird expressions.

"What?" He asked innocently.

"Katie, how much can you give me?" I asked, getting already ready. Guess the same clothes as yesterday will do.

"Ten, twelve tops. You owe me detention though." She said.

"Thanks, I owe you, bye love you." I said as I hung up the phone and raised to the toilet.

Priorities.

"Isabella, Hunter will drive you to school!" Calix yelled out.

"Thank you!" I yelled back as I finished my business.

I walked out of the toilet as Calix gave me a little sac.

"I made a sandwich, eat it in the car." he smiled.

"Thank you, thank you!" I said as I hugged him. He laughed and hugged me back. "Where's your dad?" I asked

"Right here, aren't you suppose to be at school?" Nikos asked behind me with a raised eyebrow.

"Aren't you suppose to be resting?" I said back with the same attitude.

"Touche." He laughed.

"Come on, I'll clean your wound and then I'll leave for school." I said and well all helped Nikos on the couch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What did I miss?" I asked Katie when I sneaked through the window, getting in class unnoticed.

Hunter helped me up and I thanked him with a small smile and a thank you. He nodded and left after waving goodbye.

I left Apollo at Calix' home. He likes Calix and he was sleeping and I couldn't wake him up. It was a long night for him and he would probably sleep the whole day.

Calix promised to bring him to me when he's awake, so I'm expecting him around lunch because that' when Apollo wakes up for thirty minutes to eat.

Yesterday was actually really fun. We talked for hours and let each other do stupid things.

They're cool friends.

"Nothing much." She shrugged.

"How did you buy me eleven minutes?" I asked.

"I kept asking how his kids were." she shrugged again.

"But he doesn't have- ohh." I said and Katie smiled at me. "You got detention?" I asked.

"You bet I did." she winked and I laughed.

"I'll go in your place don't worry. You ready for the prank next period?" I asked and she nodded.

"Hell yeah. Let the drama begin." She said with her evil voice.

"Katie shut it before it becomes two detentions. You too Isabella." Mr Bustier said and we both nodded. As soon as he turned around we started to chuckle again.

Poor Mr. Bustier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ready?" Katie asked as we stood in front of the door of history.

"Was born ready." I smiled. Everyone was already inside what was perfect.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Go!" We yelled as we opened the door and started to attack everyone and everything with whipped cream.

Katie went for the windows and the students as I attacked the teacher and the front board.

Katie wrote 'Levine' her surname on the windows as I wrote Castillo on the black board.

"ISABELLA CASTILLO, KATIE LEVINE! STOP NOW!"

This only made us laugh louder and we even spread around more whipped cream.

"PRINCIPAL OFFICE, NOW!" She yelled out and as soon as we heard that we stopped and walked to the office with the teacher close behind us.

People started laughing and clapping and eating. Me and Katie winked at each other as we walked with the teacher.

"Part one, check." Katie whispered as I chuckled.

The teacher dramatically opened the door and stepped in.

"Mr. Bolton, do you see what these two little pieces of shits did to me and my class?! They need to be punished immediately!" She yelled out and Leonardo looked with big eyes at the teacher covered in whipped cream.

"Of course, I will take care of them, you can go back to your class after freshen up a bit." He said hesitantly.

The teacher nodded and left. When she turned around, I placed a note with 'can I get a honyaa' on it. She didn't even noticed but Katie did as she started laughing loudly.

"Isabella, wait outside, I'll talk to Katie first. I'll call up both of your parents." He sighed.

"Good luck with that." I commented sarcastically.

"Sorry." He said with sad eyes.

"Whatever." I muttered as I stepped out of the room. I gave Katie a quick smile when she was making sure I was okay and I whispered 'good luck' in her ear.

As I stood outside, no one was in the hallway. I sighed and leaned against the wall. Now we just have to wait and part two of our plan can be started.

Katie told her mom everything about our plan so Crystal will act like she's mad. I'm not getting Katie into trouble for my problems with my brothers.

I was getting bored so I took my phone and started scrolling on instagram and tiktok. I saw I had four following requests on Instagram. Noah Davies, Calix Galanis, Levi Clarke and Hunter Miller.

Those boys. I smiled

I accepted them and followed them back. I was surprised at first how many followers they have, then I remembered, it's Calix and his friends were talking about.

After another while scrolling on social media, I heard footsteps in the hall and I looked up.

Oh boy.

My brothers and my cousins. Great.

Luca and Bruno were actually having a normal conversation. Well there's something I thought I'd never see.

Santiago was laughing with Riccardo.

Rodrigo was having a conversation with Cameron as Carlos and Cayden were laughing with something on Carlos' phone.

Greyson, Rio and Cole appeared from somewhere and talked with my brothers and cousins. They were all laughing and walking together, not noticing me.

A/N Greyson, Rio and Cole are friends of Riccardo and Rodrigo from school :)

Katie opened the office door dramatically and that moment they saw me and looked up.

"How bad?" I asked while smirking.

"Give me a knife and we have a dead principal." She grunted what made me laugh.

"Noted." I winked.

"Isabella? What did you do?" Luca asked while chuckling.

There we have Luca, my favourite from the brothers-and-cousins-who-betrayed-my-trust-badly.

"Me? Why would I do anything? Who knows, maybe I'm not involved in this situation?" I said with a raised eyebrow.

"You can stop with the innocent act, Isabella and get in here." Mr. Bolton yelled from his desk and everyone -including Katie- started laughing.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and made my way into the office.

"Close the door, Isabella. We have a lot to discuss." Mr. Bolton said.

I let out a long sigh. This is going to be a longgggg conversation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked out of the office after a long forty minutes.

"Did you have a whole tea party in there or what?" Katie asked.

"Very funny." I said annoyed and she chuckled.

"Glad my misery is funny to you." I said while rolling my eyes.

"It is." She laughed what caused me to roll my eyes again.

I let my eyes take in the hall and saw that all my brothers and cousins were still here and all looking at me.

Even Rio, Cole and Greyson.

"Katie Levine! Get your ass here right now!" Crystal yelled as she entered the school with seven tall figures following her close behind.

As they stepped closer, I saw it was Lorenzo, Matteo and Emilio.

And Calix, Hunter, Noah and Levi with Apollo walking happily next to their feet.

"Covering the entire class and teacher with whipped cream?!" Crystal yelled. Katie was looking like she was actually about to shit her pants.

"What?" All my blood relativities said. As they were all in shock, I looked at Crystal and Katie as they both winked at me at the same time.

Oscar winning actors, I'm telling you.

"Isabella." Lorenzo said in a cold voice.

"Lorenzo." I said, in the same cold voice.

"Do you want to explai-"

"Apollo, here buddy." I cut off Lorenzo. We're not doing this with an audience.

Apollo ran to me and jumped on my hip so I could pick him up.

"Thanks for taking care for him for a few hours." I smiled to Calix.

"No problem, little Castillo. Apollo's one of the boys now." He smirked and I laughed.

"He's one of the boys?! Oh, god I didn't know I was about to die this soon." Noah said as he started fanning his face.

"Why is he our friend again?" Levi asked.

"No clue." Hunter said grumpy and I was holding back a laugh. These three should be comedians.

"Isabella." Lorenzo said more sternly this time.

"Lorenzo." I said, still matching his voice.

"Explanation. Now." He said, a hint of anger in his voice.

"What's the magic word?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Lorenzo's expression hardened and he was about to sya something but Matteo cut in.

"Lorenzo, brother, don't." he said.

Lorenzo took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he looked at me.

"Explanation, now please." He said bold.

"Too forced." I said as I was looking at my nails. I heard Katie holding back her laughter and Calix, Hunter, Noah and Levi looking at me in amusement.

My brothers and cousins were rather looking at me like they were searching for what reason I survived the past two minutes.

Lorenzo sighed. "Can you give me an explanation of the situation, please?" He said.

"No." I smiled. Katie started laughing out loud and Calix started snickering with Noah and Levi while Hunter was looking down, but I could still see a smile.

"Isabella, outside now." He said calmly.

"Why?"

"Because I need to discuss this and I don't want to do it in front of your friends." He said.

"That's not necessary, you can come in my office." Mr. Bolton said.

"Thank you Mr. Bolton." Lorenzo said as he stepped into the office.

"If I die, I want you to cut off his balls." I said to Katie who nodded eagerly.

"I'll wear them every day." She smiled as she gave me the thumps up. I chuckled at the shocked faces of Calix and his friends and stepped inside my principal's office, or also knows as hell.

"What did you do?" Lorenzo asked once I closed the door.

"I painted unicorns."

"She covered the whole class and teacher with whipped cream." Mr. Bolton said.

"Why?" Lorenzo asked.

"Because unicorns are fun to draw." I smiled.

"Isabella!" Lorenzo said frustrated.

"Lorenzo!" I said frustrated as well.

"Isabella stop this game, you tell me right now or I will-"

"You will what? I'm serious Lorenzo, what are you going to do?" I asked in a mocking tone. "Because I'm pretty sure there isn't a thing you haven't done yet." I said coldly.

"Isabella, we already went over this." He sighed.

"Did we? Last time I checked I went back to live with you, that doesn't mean shit. Did I say that I forgave you? Yes. Did I actually do it? No."

"I don't know what to do anymore, Isabella. One moment were getting back to being normal, and the next thing I know you're mad again." He said.

"We'll never be normal again, Lorenzo." I said looking at the ground. "It's like nine eleven. No one forgets that."

Lorenzo let out a long sigh.

"I already apologized in so many ways, I did everything I could think about!" He said frustrated. "What do you want me to do? Tell me and i'll do it." He said desperate.

"I don't know, Lorenzo! I don't know what you can do to make me forgive you. I'm not sure it's possible." I sighed.

"That's bullshit, Isabella. If you really want to love, you'll need to learn to forgive." he said.

"Forgiving someone is easy, trusting them again is a whole other story." I said in a dangerous calm voice as I stepped closer. "Don't tell things you don't know, Lorenzo."

"Okay, we'll discuss that later, let's talk about your attitude." he said.

"No we're talking about this no, my attitude isn't going anywhere." I said.

"You really thought you could just do your little act and everything would be pink and blue? You must have fallen more on your head than I thought." I scoffed.

"Do not disrespect me, Isabella." Lorenzo said angry.

"Do not underestimate me." I said back. "Never underestimate the broken, they got nothing to lose."

"You're not-"

"I am. And I'm damn proud of it."

We stood looking at each other for a while.

"You're not saying anything?" I asked.

"What do you want me to say?" He asked conflicted.

"Do you want me to write your whole life story out or what? I don't fucking know Lorenzo!" I said annoyed.

"Language."

"Oh screw you!" I yelled.

"Erm guys-" Mr. Bolton said.

"Shut it!" We both said at the same time as we both looked at Mr. Bolton and then back at each other.

"I need to go before I fucking stab you with a pencil." I said as I rolled my eyes and walked out of the office.

I opened the door and slammed it right into Lorenzo's face. I heard him scream in colorful language.

"Asshole." I whispered as I turned around.

Everyone looked shocked at me. Do I look like I fucking care?

"Calix, Hunter, Noah, Levi, get out of here unless you want to go to the lessons?" I joked and they immediately ran out. Calix turned around before he walked out of the main door.

"Take care, little Castillo. I'll see you tonight on training." He smiled and walked away. Katie and Crystal sended me a smile and walked away to god knows where.

Lorenzo opened the door and I turned around.

"You can't just- are you running away from me?!" he said as I started walking.

"Actually, I'm walking away from you." I said without looking back.

"Isabella! Get back here! We're not done yet!" He yelled.

"But I am! I'm done with this bullshit Lorenzo. You can't expect me to be fine in one hour. It will take a long damn ass time." I cussed and he narrowed his eyes at my choice of words.

"I'm a teenager, I cuss, live with it." I spat

"Lorenzo, let's not make the situation worse then it's already is and let's talk about this at home like normal people." Emilio said as he placed his hand on Lorenzo's shoulder and gave me a reassuring smile.

"No." Lorenzo said.

"No?" I said with a raised eyebrow.

"Loren-" Matteo started but Lorenzo raised his hand he got the hint.

"We're doing this now." He said cold.

"Speak for your own, I'm not doing this." I walked out of the doors, my three oldest brothers following close behind. Matteo made my other brothers and cousins go back to class.

Ha, suckerss

"Isabella!" Lorenzo shouted.

"Don't you dare to ignore me Isabella!" Lorenzo shouted as I started to walk faster.

"Isabella!"

"Isabella!"

"Isabella!"

"Isabella!"

And that's when it hit me.

They weren't calling me to get back.

They were warning me as they started sprinting to me.

My eyes went wide and I couldn't act.

They weren't calling me to get back.

They were warning me for the car that was speeding right at me.

I felt two hands grab my arms, I looked next to me and saw my brothers' face.

Then the car hit me and I felt myself rolling over before everything went black.







Lmao hi.

before you say anything, yes, I'm alive.

It was a hectic week and probably will take me a little longer than normal to write now school has started.

Thank you so much for the messages and the love, I actually didn't noticed so many people were concerned about me.

Also a huge thank you FOR FRICKING 200K!!! GIVE YOURSELF A HUG FROM ME!
