Isabella took a deep breath, closing her eyes as Michelle logged into her account to see her SAT results, beimg too nervous to actually do it herself.
//
"We get the results today and Isabella is basically shitting herself."
Christen pinched Michelle's sides making her jump up and yelp.
"Whatt? It's true."
"I know, but don't say it like that."
//
Once it was open, Michelle and Christen looked at Isabella, asking silently is she was okay.
"I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, read it."
They were about to look at the results before Isabella slammed the laptop shut.
"I change my mind. Don't."
Michelle sighed and opened up the laptop again.
"Calm down child, I'm sure you did great, I mean you have my genes."
Isabella playfully rolled her eyes and fonally let her Moms look at the result.

Michelle and Christen grinned at each other before looking uo at the nervous teenager.
"Damn, you really are my child. No doubt about that now."
Mitch turned the laptop around and showed Isabella the results. She felt herself grin as she stared at the screen but then what her mother said finally registered in her head.
"Wait, you had doubts on wether or not I am your daughter?"
Christen and Isabella both gave Mitch a questioning look while Michelle just shrugged at them.
"We have to celebrate, I'm gonna order some Taco Bell."

It's been a few months since the Dinah incident has happened and she has still has been trying to get a hold of Isabella. Isabella had already blocked her on multiple numbers and social media but she still seemed to pop up. Isabella hasn't even been on her phone most of the time because she's busy training with the team.
Sheesh, she never seems to give me a fucking break.
She opened up her email to see whatever is there for her. She rolled her eyes when she got another birthday invitation from Dinah, deleting it as soon she saw it and blocking Dinah's 4th email address.
Groaning, she got up from her bed and went over to the studio where her Mom is making some beats.
"Hey Mom, do you mind helping me? I wrote some stuff and I think you could make it into a masterpiece."
Mitch looked at Isabella, pride shining in her eyes as she watched her daughter bring out her phone and go to her notes. Her eyes went over the lyrics and grinned.
"Damnnnn Bella, shiiiit. You've been hiding this from me?"
Izzy gave her a shy smile and sat beside her Mom, talking about her visual for the song and how she wanted it to sound.

Michelle had a meeting with the label again, finalizing some stuff for the tour and going over all the opening acts. She sat beside Tana and Cedes as they went over the setlists and names of the artists.
"Okay so you are going to be meeting her in a few minutes but til then, do you think this would be a good setlist for you now?"
Michelle nodded her head, her eyes never leaving the paper.
"Perfect."

Isabella laid on her bed, her mind racing about everything. Dinah, her SATs, college. She wanted to take a year break, the year so far being super overwhelming for her, but she doesn't know how to bring that topic up to her parents.
She knows her mothers will support her, they always do and that's why she thinks she is so lucky to have them as her parents. But she thinks she wants to take this year to explore who she is in a more indepth manner and figure out what she really wanted to do.
One thing is for sure, soccer and music is a must.
The past few days, she and Michelle have been in the studio, creating fire beats and just making these masterpiece. They honestly have enough songs for an album but if she was ever to put anything out, she wanted to start small, like with an EP or something.
Isabella's phone pinged again and she didn't have to look at it to know that Dinah sent her another email about her birthday. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her ukulele, putting her phone up on the edge of the table to record herself.
Dinah wasn't gonna get a direct response from her (she would rather die than fucking talk to the singer again) so maybe this cover would put the message across.
"Hey so like, this is new to me and I was just in the mood to do this so. This one is for you, ya know who you are."
She gave the camera a smile before strumming her ukulele.
Hey, call me back when ya get this
Or when you've got a minute
We really need to talk
Her mind drifted to all of the messages Dinah sent that she did not reply to. All the I'm sorry and please come back really getting on her nerves.
Wait, you know what? Maybe just forget it
'Cause by the time you get this
Your number might be blocked
So far she had blocked 5 numbers, 2 instagram accounts and 4, about to be 5 useless emils about her birthday. Like Isabelka couldn't care less about her as a human being now, let alone her fucking birthday.
Stay and blah, blah, blah
You just want what you can't have
No way, I'll call the cops
If you don't stop, I'll call your dad
She found it funny that somehow this song really resonates with her in a very personal level. Like Billie knew that this was gonna happen and made this specifically for her.
And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
Happy birthday, by the way
It's not you, it's me and all that other bullshit
You know that's bullshit, don't you, babe?
I'm not your party favor
Atleast she greeted her a happy birthday through this song.
Look, now I know we coulda done it better
But we can't change the weather
When the weather's come and gone
Books don't make sense if you read 'em backwards
You'll single out the wrong words
Like you mishear all my songs
You'll hear stay and blah, blah, blah
You just want what you can't have
No way, I'll call the cops
If you don't stop, I'll call your dad
Dinah is honeslty more scared of her dad than the fucking cops, something her and Isabella have in common. The difference? Dinah's dad could put up this disappointed look and you would feel like shit for causing it.
Isabella's dad? Tried to murder her mother because he wanted to take Isabella from Mitch cause he a fucking misogynistic homophobic asshole who doesn't even pay spchild support, let alone make an effort to visit his daughter.
Funny how they are similar yet so different.
And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
Happy birthday, by the way
It's not you, it's me and all that other bullshit
You know that's bullshit, don't you, babe?
I'm not your party favor
After one last strum, she gave the camera another smile, ending the video before she has another breakdown.
Yup, I am taking that fucking leap year.

Michelle spun around on her chair and waited for the artist that she was gonna tour with. Her eyes snapped at the mop of blonde hair that was seen through the window, bouncing with every step that she took.
She couldn't help but grin when she finally saw her.
"Hey, it's nice to finally meet you."
"Nice to finally meet you too, damn, I am such a huge fan of you. I have been ever since you were Beyonce's choreographer."
Michelle grinned and pulled her in a hug.
"Yow, that's awesome. I love your music so much."
"Thank you, I appreciate it."
They talked for about an hour, about the opening acts and the set lists.
"I don't need back uo dancers so we're gonna save up on that one."
"Hey, we don't really have an exact budget, if you need anything don't be afraid to come to me. I got it all covered."
The blonde haired girl smiled and nodded.
"Yow, you know what would be dope? If we collaborated and that could be the transition from my set to your set."
Michelle looked at her from across the table and nodded, loving the idea.
"Yeah, that would be cool. You wanna start tomorrow? Since we only have like 9 months before the tour and shit."
"Yeah, I'm down whenever."
"Great. I'll see you tomorrow then."

Michelle had been in the studio the whole day, Christen and the twins keeping her company in the studio, having had inspiration for the collab that she and the singer were gonna do. She also called up a bunch of people to come by to the house (the singer and a bunch of other people for the opening acts of the North America leg of the tour) so tpshe cpuld properly introduce them to Isabella and Christen.
A knock on the door brought Michelle out of her thoughts. She looked up to see a nervous Isabella standing by the door.
"Yes my love?"
"I have to tell you and Mama something."
Michelle nodded and tapped on the spot next to her, Christen looking up signalling to Isabella that she was listening.
"So, I was thinking... I want to take a year off of school. I know I was suppose to go Stanford after the Olympics but is it okay if I take the leap year? Or 2?"
Christen looked at Mitch, trying to decipher what she was thinking but jusging by the soft smile on her face, she ews okay with it.
"You know your Mama and I only want what is best for you, right Christen?"
Christen nodded and made her way towards the two, the twins (who are now 2 years of age) wobbling right behind her.
"Of course. If you think taking a break from all those would make you feel better in the long run, take it. We are in no rush for anything."
"Plus we are going on tour anyway. I think it would give you the time you need."
Isabella smiled and nodded, pulling her family into a group hug.
"I love you guys."
"We love you too mi niña."
The door of the studio opened and Stephany's head popped in.
"The guests are here."
Mitch smiled and gave her a nod. 4 people came in.
"Let them in. Izzy, Chris, meet the person we are gonna be touring with and our North America opening acts."

A/N: I should be doing land training but here I am sitting on the bleachers finishing up this chapter. But my coach doesn't care as long as I take my swim seriously (thank god for that lmao, I am not in the mood to run)
But trailer for season 2 would come out maybe by midnight? Then we are off to new adventures. Season 2 would probably be the shortest seeing as it's mostly the Olympics and tour preparations.
Also I edited those photos, I hate that it looks super cliche but that's the best I could do lmao. I made these pictures (and a bunch more) almost a week ago so it has been sitting in my gallery, ready to be shown to the world for a while now.
