I walk to his house eager to see him. He hasn't answered my calls or text and I started to get worried
I knock on his door and no answer
I open the door to see Ethan
And Melissa
Standing in front of the door looking like they were saying goodbye
I look down to see that they were both half naked
Melissa smirks at me then walks passed me, nudging my shoulder a bit as she passes
Ethan's POV
Isabella stands in front of me silent. She looked up at me and I saw the hurt in her eyes, I just decided to ignore it
"Did you need something?"
She opens her mouth to say something then stops herself "nevermind"
She leaves slamming the door behind her
Shit
I end up going to get a drink at mystic grill after getting ready
I felt eyes staring at my back. "You don't have to stare"
Brie comes from behind me and stands next to me with pure hatred and annoyance on her face
"I take it Isabella told you. You can hate me all you want. It's not like you haven't done it before"
"Whenever I think there's a single ounce of good in you I'm always proven wrong"
"Then stop thinking" "I didn't come here to scold you, I'm here to warn you"
"Aw but you do it so well"
"Complicated things are going on right now and if you keep this up you'll end up losing everyone you care about. Including Isabella"
"Woah. Woah woah" I grab her arm to stop her from leaving "What's complicated?" "Oh now you care" "seriously what's going on with her?" "Ask her yourself" She pulls her arm away and leaves. I take another sip out of my glass
I look down at the table and hear someone else sit next to me
Melissa
"Got in trouble with Brie?"
"No just strongly warned" she nods "hey can you do me a favor and not sit next to me"
"Why not?" "Because I'm already in trouble I don't want to be in anymore. And plus I don't like you"
I stand from my seat and so does she
"What do you mean you don't like me?" "What I just said, I don't like you. In fact I hate you. Why would you think otherwise?"
Sadness slowly starts to take over her face
"Oh. Did you actually think last night meant something? It was simply a result of loneliness and lots of alcohol. But by all means feel how you want"
I walk away leaving her inside
Wow. She's sadder than I thought
Isabella's POV
I walk through the library looking for cook books for the barbecue in a couple hours
Hopefully I don't screw it up
I pick one out and it falls to the ground
I pick it up and head in the direction to the next aisle. As I turn around I bump the chest of someone
Ethan
Our faces literally inches apart
He looks at me as I go around him
"Wanna talk?" He asks following behind me. I ignore the tension and continue checking books. "About what?" "Listen it's clear that you're angry" "why would I be angry? We're not dating. You can do whatever and who you want"
I try to ignore him by continuously looking through the books and walking down different aisles
"Fine. I'll see you at the barbecue then"
I stop to look at him "you're going?" "Why wouldn't I?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The barbecue approach's and soon we're all outside eating, drinking and having fun
Brie's POV
I grab a bag of chips and start walking around the area
In the mist of people walking I see Ethan staring intensely at something
I walk over to him and see that he's looking at Isabella and Grayson
"Jealous much?"
"What's going on between them?" "Same old same old. Well expect for the dreams" he standing in front of me blocking my view "what dreams?"
"She seriously hasn't told you yet?" "No and I'm pretty sure she's never going to just tell me"
"Isabella and Grayson having been having dreams about each other living their lives and having a family together. Olivia said that they might be connected by the universe"
He turns to see Isabella now standing alone and starts to walk towards her
I move my hair to behind my ear to hear the conversation but I'm startled by someone tapping my shoulder
Michael
"Long time no see Brie. How've you been?"
"I'm sorry I must be wearing my please talk to me shirt"
"Ouch. When did you get so sassy?" "When I talk to people I don't like" I smile and walk away
Isabella's POV
I start to munch on little snacks when I hear "were you ever gonna tell me?"
I turn to see an angry looking Ethan
"Tell you what?" "That you and my brother are apparently destined by fate"
"I was gonna tell you when you picked me out last night but obviously you had better things to do"
"See you're still mad" "You bailed on me to be with a thousand year old vampire bitch. I'm pretty sure anyone would still be mad"
Grayson's POV
"You bailed on me to be with a thousand year old vampire bitch. I'm pretty sure anyone would still be mad"
"At least I don't lead someone on when they clearly have feelings for someone else" "What are you even talking about?"
"I heard you say you loved him" "loved who? Seriously Ethan what aid wrong with you?"
Shit
I walk up to them to try to calm them down
"Guys I think-" "no stay out of this gray" she turns to me "oh yeah stay out of this gray" he mocks her
What the hell did I do?
"I thought I could trust you, both of you but apparently not" he walks away
Isabella's POV
I waited at his house for him to get there. We needed to talk and I was finally ready to
"You don't have to be a stalker and wait out for me. I know how to get home" he says and throws his eyes on the table "I know. I came to say I'm sorry"
He looked at me
"You're right. I should have told you sooner. The morning it happened I should have told you. But I didn't. And maybe if I did all of this wouldn't have happened. But do you know why I didn't. It's because you scare me. Whenever something bad happens you lash out"
"Yeah I do. I lash out when I start feeling something. I push people away because that's how I am"
"But it doesn't have to be" he looks away from me "I don't want this for you. I don't want this for us"
"You think I do? I'm a bad person" "no you're not. If you were as bad as you say you are I wouldn't feel the way I do about you. Even through all of this my biggest mistake was loving you"
He looked up at me "because it hurts when you love someone so much and they hurt you" he comes in closer "I'm sorry I hurt you. Isabella you can't even comprehend how much I've missed you. How much I've missed us. And when you said you loved him..." he looked down. I pull his face back up to look him in the eyes "I will never stop loving you. Even if the whole world is against it"
Michael's POV
I walk in and see Melissa talking with two girls in the living room
I give her a look and she walks over to me "Wanna tell me what's going on?" "I'm having them look for something"
I walk over to them and they continue to say a spell
I pull Melissa aside again "is it true that you hooked up with that Dolan kid?" She smiled and shrugs "what are you up to?" I question
"It's done" one of the girls said and Melissa walks over to them
She picks up a map on the table "thanks you. Keep me posted on how they're doing" the two girls leave
"What's that for?" I ask. "Something we've been waiting for"
"A map for the cure"
