Fallen

The cold conversation between friends

Isabella's POV.

A mere seven days has passed since Ernest dropped by to bring the necklace. I didn't leave the house, although Keyshia tried her best to make me go out to get some air but I didn't feel like facing the world just yet.

Still lost in my own "mull over" world, a gentle knock came from my bedroom door.

"Leave me alone, Keyshia." I said but obviously she wasn't gonna obey that.

The door opened and she entered the room,followed by Rosalia.

I was laying on my four-poster bed facing the ceiling. A brandy tumbler filled with amber liquid rested precariously on my stomach. I was wearing my black silk nightgown. My hair was spread dramatically over the soft white pillows behind me.

The room was bathed in a soft white light and a faint smell of weed hung in the air.

"You've been smoking?" Rosalia's worried voice asked as she took few steps closer to the bed.

"Ain't nothing new." I replied,eyes closed.

"Bella ... .." She sighed as they both sat on either side of my bed.

"Its so good to see you,Ros." I said with a faint smile.

"Wish I could say the same to you." She said with a worrying look on her face." Look at you,you look so not you."

"At least I dont look like shit." I said,grabbing the brandy glass with my hand and sitting up straight.

"Well that's because somebody has been forcing your willful ass to hop out of bed and take a shower." Keyshia said, crossing her arms looking straight at me without blinking.

"Yeah right whatever." I playfully rolled my eyes and took a gulp of my drink.

"How are you?" Rosalia asked,looking straight into my eyes.I just sighed,heavily.

"Well how am I?I dont know man.I feel like shit." I said staring down at my drink.

"Well that's good." She said.

Realizing the confusion written all over my face, she explained. ....

"I mean it shows that you really care about him.And that such little things hurt you to a point where you dont even wanna get your ass up and go out again.You're only human Bella.You were destined to be lied to,betrayed and feel pain.And humans have their own ways of dealing with such problems. For me,I prefer going out when I'm heartbroken or shit.You just gotta move on."

"The fuck you mean she must move on?" Keyshia's flustered voice asked

"Like move on,move on." Rosalia simply replied.

"You saying I must eh..uhm.. brea-..break up with him?"I  stuttered,whispering.

She looked at the both of us and nodded.

"You're insane." Keyshia yelled

"Well it's the only way she'll stop hurting herself."

"Are you hearing yourself?Her breaking up with Ernest will make it worse." She told Rosalia.

" Worse!!!!!" She screamed,throwing her hands up in the air.

"And what are you?A love inspector?" Rosalia asked crossing her arms

"I'm her fucken bestfriend sweetheart." Keyshia replied with a smirk.

"So?"

"So I fucken know that this shit gonna rend her soul away out of her body. She ain't gonna break up with anyone and you must fucken get that through your thick shit of a skull." She snapped.

"Says who,you?ohh please hunny.We both know that your ass knows absolutely nothing about dealing with guys and that's why Travis still loves me.Because you are still young,he needs someone more  matured." Rosalia blurted out without even thinking.

I looked over at Keyshia and I saw that the words really hit her hard.

"Someone like who,you?" Keyshia managed to speak.

"Obviously."

"Well at least I didn't break his heart.Not yet,not forever."

I looked at Rosalia and she clearly was hurt by the words.

"What the fuck is wrong with you guys?" I finally asked

"You think this is all about you?" I turned on both sides looking at them. They just remained quiet as they both looked away.

"Damn,y'all so fucken boring." I whispered finishing up my drink.

"So what are your thoughts about men after all this shit?" Finally, one of them asked.

"Ohh,men are such bastards,Ros." I said,climbing off the bed and heading for the mirror.

"God,I look terrible." I said,staring into the mirror, patting my cheeks and lifting my hair away from my neck.

"You sure do." Keyshia  said with a little laugh .

"I'm slowely starting to regret the day  i laid my green eyes on his ocean eyes and alluring perfect well built body."

I rambled vaguely, and poured myself another shot of brandy.

"Do you regret falling inlove with him?" Asked  Rosalia

" Nah.." I instantly shook my head looking at them
" I regret meeting him." I declared.

"Enough about the sad shit stories, who wanna go clubbing?" I asked excitedly but ofcourse they both looked shocked at what I had just said.

"Right now?" Keyshia asked

"No next year-ofcourse right now dullard." I rolled my eyes going to the bathroom.

" Let's fucken get ready!"
