Every hour I wake up, terrified that I'm back in that house. The dreams have never been this bad, one continuous loop of my fathers face and that fucking belt.
"Lil it's okay I'm here." Isaac's hand reaches my face. He needs to sleep, I'm stopping him from doing that.
"I'm okay, go to sleep Issac." He won't listen, when does he ever.
"Shhh, stop worrying about me. Do you want to get up or go back to sleep?"
I sit up and grab hold of a pillow behind me, waiting for when Issac sits up. To no surprise he follows me up and get a pillow straight in his face.
"Oh is that how you wanna play?" Issac reaches for a pillow of his own and start blocking my hits.
His laugh makes me feel like nothing I'm the past 12 hours actually happened. It's in the past.
I throw myself towards him still randomly smacking the pillow around, his hands reach around my body pulling me closer.
We are inches away from each other. Which reminds me, although we've had sex. We have never kissed.
My lips are so close to his.
We all die so fuck it...
"Liliana, are you sure?" He breathes heavily. My head moves slightly up and down. I've never been surer.
He leans in gently touching his lips on mine it's soft and so perfect. Issac's hands grip either side of my waist before gently flipping me over.
Not once does he break the kiss.
Now Issac is on top of me but he doesn't move from the kiss to do anything else. He doesn't take this moment for granted just like I don't either.
We both pull away after a few moments. I'll never forget that smile on his face. It's like he's just learnt how to smile for the first time.
But his smile fades when he hears a knock on the bedroom door.
"Issac honey? We are home can you come down and help us set for breakfast?" Isaac's mother calls out.
"Yes mum, Liliana is also here please set her a place." Now I feel like I'm intruding.
"No Issac it's okay I'll go home." Never did I think I'd have to have breakfast with the Haywood's.
"Oh yes! That's perfect of course we will." I hear her footsteps fade away.
I have no clothes. I'm currently in Issac and Ana's. I can't go downstairs in pyjamas that aren't even mine.
"Issac, I have no clothes, other than my dress from last night."
"Lil, it's nothing formal, we just go down in our pyjamas." He laughs at me. Asshole.
"But— I'm meeting your dad, as your fake girlfriend in my pyjamas?!" I exclaim.
Meeting someone's parents is a big deal, especially when they see you in your pyjamas looking a mess.
"My dad will love you, plus you aren't my real girlfriend so even if he does hate you it doesn't matter." Issac winks at me so I decide to hit him on the arm.
Ana gave me some fluffy socks so my feet were warm then all three of us head downstairs.
Issac had a band tee on and some blue and white pyjama bottoms on. Ana has matching flower shorts and a tied up t shirt.
I might have to steal these pyjama bottoms because they are so comfy. And they are a light pink. Also I'm keeping Isaac's t shirt. I burned the last one.
"Good morning Mum, Dad." Ana sit next to her father leaving two seats left for me an Issac.
One next to his mother and one opposite his father.
"Dad, this is Liliana. Liliana this is my father." I smile as he stands up and heads towards me.
Oh god what's— His arms wrap around me giving me a tight hug. "It's so lovely to meet you, Issac has told me so much."
This man doesn't look old enough to be the twins father.
"Oh it's so nice to meet you too." He holds onto my arms before sitting back down next to Ana. "I promise I don't always look like this."
He laughs at me waving a hand in the air. "I promise I do always look like this." He laughs again making me chuckle this time.
"My name is Rowan and you obviously know Camille." Issac's dad says while handing me the fruit.
His parents are actually amazing. Although they look so young, it makes me wonder how old they both were when they had the twins.
"Do you have any siblings Liliana?" Rowan asks.
"I have three brothers, two older, one younger." I begin to eat a strawberry but the questions keep coming.
"I bet you all kept your mother busy." Rowan laughs, visions of my mother cloud my brain.
The time when she was baking my favourite cake, she had on a floral dress that cinched at her waist it was black mostly but her red hair brought out the flowers.
"Liliana?" Issac places his hand on my back making sure I'm okay at the mention of my mother.
"Yes, sorry, we did but my mother passed away when Luka, the youngest was 2 years old so me and my brothers are raising him. He's at boarding school right now though."
Luka's Easter break was wrong so we don't actually have to pick him up for another 2 weeks. The damn school gave us the wrong dates.
"I'm so sorry." Rowan places his napkin down giving me a sympathetic look.
"Don't worry honestly, it's almost been 5 years now. And you've most likely heard about my Dad being sentenced. So it's just us older three at home."
Way to make it awkward Liliana.
"Yes, so what do your older brothers do?" Rowan changes subject, but it's actually nice talking to someone different for a change so I honestly wouldn't mind what we talked about.
"You've met Landon Dad. He's on the team." Issac makes his way into the conversation, I look over to see Ana and Camille talking too.
I never realised how much I craved a family like this. But I have Ana and Beth now. My brothers, Issac. They are my family now as much as Issac pisses me off I guess he's not so bad.
"Oh Landon's a great player." Rowan grins.
Beth would agree.
"Yeah so Landon is wanting to go pro and Lewis my oldest brother currently owns a bunch of apartment blocks."
Breakfast goes by fast, Issac heads upstairs while me an Ana put a movie on, I need to head home soon though Landon is probably wondering where I am.
"Hey girls. Liliana I'm so sorry but I'm going to have to cancel dinner today, I have a surprise meeting with the head of university about the team." Rowan genuinely looks sad about it which makes me think why couldn't my dad be like him?
"No don't worry it was lovely to meet you today anyway." I can finish the painting I've been working on anyway.
1 week later
It's been a busy week, me and Issac are still fake dating yet we've been spending a lot of time together as friends. Which sounds weird to say I'm friends with Isaac Haywood.
We haven't spoken about the flashbacks or the kiss since that night. But this next week is going to be spent in France skiing.
My skating is getting better, Issac had me in the rink for the past three days. I can skate by myself now.
We found a rink near the ski resort so we can practice there too.
Rowan challenged Issac to a hockey game there and I can't wait to watch.
My phone pings.
Blonde psycho, Ginger bitch and Angel on earth:
Beth <3: this group name is too long
Ana <3: it's perfect shush
Me: I agree with Ana
Beth <3: well I just messaged to say have a fantastic trip. Get kinky both of you.
Me: Issac and me aren't a real thing. Stop. 👀
Beth <3: yet. Darling.
Ana <3: HAHAHAH
Me: Tulip. Stop laughing.
Ana <3: HOW DID-
Beth <3: Ana my brother is single ;) xx
Me: and he called her tulip once 🌷🌷🌷🌷
Beth <3: yeah Issac told me that Elijah said that to her.
Ana <3: my brother is gonna die. Why did he tell you both?
Me: we were talking about getting you a guy ;) then Issac told us Elijah looks like a good fit.
Ana left me on opened. Bitch.
My phone pings again but this time it's Issac letting me know he's on his way to pick me up to go to the airport.
Here we go, a full week of Issac.
