Meeting of a Life Time

Chapter 12

*Joey's POV*

As lay in bed, I think about what has happened. Tiffany trying to hit on me, breaking up with Bella or Bella breaking up with me. Why did she do that? It was probably because of Michael. I knew to that we were moving too fast but I just didn't want to say anything. If Bella and I are going to start at square one, then we need to know each other more.

"AHHHHHH!" I jump from the loud scream coming from Bella's room. I get up from my bed and run to her room.

*Bella's POV*

Michael stands tall over me. "No Michael please. You have done enough damage on me. Please let me be." Michael grabs my arm and tries to hurt me. "AHHHHHH!"

I wake with a start and Joey comes running in the room.

Joey: "Are you okay?"

Bella: "Yeah, bad dream. Sorry if I woke you."

Joey: "It's okay. I was just going to bed."

Bella: "What time is it?"

Joey: "It's 12 am."

Bella: "Oh okay. Thanks for checking up on me. Goodnight."

Joey hugs me and gets up from my bedside. "Goodnight." Then he walks out of the room and closes the door.

*2 weeks later*

I still had nightmares every night. Michael would come into my room and beat me. Joey would comfort me every night and would talk to me about it. I told him that it was about my family and not about Michael. I don't know why I would lie to him but I did.

I really need to forget about Michael. I scheduled a job interview today anyways so I should be focusing more on that.

I get up and out of my bed and head over to the bathroom. I get my make up out of my bag and apply only a little makeup. I then straighten my hair. I wonder off in my own space and then a hear a knock on my door.

Joey: "Hey Bella! Breakfast is ready if you want some!"

Bella: "Thanks Joey be right there!"

I hear him walk away.

*In the dining room*

I take a sip of Joey's smoothie.

Bella: "Joey, this smoothie is fabulous! I love it! What did you put in it?"

Joey smirked. "It's a secret."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, don't tell me." I playfully punch him in the arm and headed to the front door.

Joey: "Where are you going?"

Bella: "Going to find a job."

*Sylvia's POV*

As I wrote in my journal, Larisa came up to my bed. She sat down.

Sylvia: "What's up Larisa." I smiled.

Larisa had a serious face on. My smile went away.

Sylvia: "What happened? Is Dad okay?"

Larisa: "Yeah, he's fine."

Sylvia: "Then what is it? Larisa tell me. I'm worried now."

Larisa: "Okay if I tell you, you can't tell me I'm crazy okay?"

Sylvia: "I promise."

*Bella's POV*

My new manager handed me my schedule.

Bella: "Thank you sir. I am so happy that I can work here."

Manager: "No problem Bella. You start Monday."

I left my new work place and headed back to the apartment.

*Sylvia's POV*

Sylvia: "Are you insane? That could never work!"

Larisa: "Hey! You promised remember? Besides, Mom can't hold us forever."

Sylvia: "I guess. Is Madisen coming?"

Larisa: "I asked her already. Her swimming meet is the same week when we might do this and if she leaves, she can't win the 1,000 dollar prize."

Sylvia: "Okay, is it just me or is that a lot of money for just a swim meet?"

Larisa: "Well, Madisen is competing with much older people. They allowed her to join the competition because Madisen is such a good swimmer."

I shrugged."When do you plan to do this?"

Larisa: "Next week."

Sylvia: "Alright fine. I'm in."

The door opened.

Mom: "Whatcha guys talking about?"
