8 | Awkward

"So, you got a boyfriend." No I wasn't trying to be the girl's boyfriend. But I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't hitting on another man's girl. 

"Wouldn't you like to know."

"Yes. That's why I fucking asked."

"So vague."

"Answer the damn question Lila. It's not hard."

"Look at you. You've learnt my name." I roll my eyes asking again.

"Answer the question."

"Don't worry about it." She shrugged her shoulders and it was so hard not to smile. So fucking hard. 

I thought love was real whenever I saw Freya and Christian together, but now look where he is. It simply doesn't exist. That why you find the hottest chicks, and fuck them.

I wouldn't fucking another man's whore, it's just after what happened with Freya. I kinda fucking promised him I'd never be like her. So I have to kinda care.

It doesn't matter though. Because Lila is hot, and probably single because she would have most likely answered yes if she had. If she has a man and she's not telling, I feel bad for him. His girl can't even admit they're together.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah-."

"Stay guys. Let's watch a movie on Christian's couches to piss him off."

"I'd rather not. You have fun though." She bit right back at me.

"Have a good night Stefano." She waved her hand in the air and left after hugging Julian. I will if you get your ass back here.

"Why would you let Belle bring that girl with her?"

"Would you stop calling her Belle for fucks sake."

"Why? You jealous she likes me better than you?"

"Shut up, no one likes you over me."

Isabelle's POV :

"Yes! What you did was irresponsible. You didn't know what you were doing."

"I'm sorry Belle. I didn't know it would have made you uncomfortable. I would have never agreed if I knew it wasn't something you'd be willing to. I just got my excitement into everything."

"God this is so stupid. You were only thinking about yourself. And it ended with you and Stefano bickering off up until Christian got mad at stopped you two. That could have costed me my job." I ran my fingers through hair and sat on the couch.

"Listen. I've already said I'm sorry. I don't know what more you want from me. You want me to go back and tell them you didn't want to have dinner with them?"

"Oh my God, why are you being so stupid!" The dirty words left my mouth before I could even think to stop them. 

No. 

I didn't mean to say that. 

I watched as her eyes began to water at the words that fell from my lips.

I didn't mean it at all.

"I'm sorry." She sniffed a cry and walked to her room. She didn't slam the door, just shut it softly and locked it. From that moment forward she only came out for a glass of water and to make us dinner.

She didn't need to do that.

I sat at the island waiting to have dinner with her but she never came out. She stayed in the room all night and in the morning she was gone before I was even out of bed.

She hates going out alone and now she did. She was alone out there.

I screwed up. I didn't mean to be rude. The words just poured out like nothing. I didn't want to hurt her feelings. I was just angry about my job. I want my mom to come here and not worry about money at all. I wanted her to know that her daughter wasn't here for nothing.

That's why I take the job so seriously. But my job shouldn't make me a bad person. I should have never said any of those rude things to her.

She had already made breakfast for me and she already took out my iron pills because of my iron deficiency. I feel so bad.

I ate my breakfast alone and took my pill. I walked to class alone and found Lila sitting at the other end of the class. I took a seat at our regular spot and hoped maybe she'd come over.

But she didn't. 

She sat there the entire class.

I never realized how sad it felt to be alone until she was no longer with me. I can't believe I spent so long without any friends. It felt so sad. It felt so lonely. I saw her walk alone through the big crowd of people with a frown on her face.

Before I could rush after her I felt someone grab my arm and pull me back into the class.

Christian.

"Christian?"

"I need you to come to the event with me and Stefano next week."

"I can't."

"I don't have anyone to take care of my son that day. I need you to come."

"If I'm taking care of Julian why do I have to be there?"

"Because Julian's gonna be there too. He's a part of my family meaning he's invited. So I need you to watch after him there." An event. I have so much going on right now. I don't know if I can handle this.

"I'll pay you double."

Double!

I do need the money.

"Fine. Just text me whatever I need to know and what I have to wear." I left before hearing another word. I needed to go find Lila ad say sorry.

~~~

Short chapter I know. But the next one is gonna be good. The tension is just gonna be be so surreal.

I love Lila I don't care what anyone says.

LOVE YOU HOES.

Sincerely, A
