"They still in there" mark asked taking a seat next to Isabella.
"Amelia's just closing up" isabella smiled
"Wheres derek?"
"Amelia wanted to close, so derek left. He does really trust her, he just likes to seem tough around Amelia so she won't cause anymore hurt to him"
"What about you?"
"Me, shes my sister, i will always be here. Its now me who picks her up when shes to high or drunk to drive or shes somewhere she doesnt recognise. Its me who goes and picks her up" isabella told mark but she didnt know that derek was in the doorway listening ready to join them.

"But you cant drive" was marks first responce.
"I have been driving since i was 16. Dont you remember Addison was teaching me because my siblings were to over protective and you were to laid back"
"Ahh yes i remember" mark smirked.

"We werent overprotective we just" derek joined in the conversation.
"Liked their cars"mark and Isabella smirked
"I wasnt that bad and you had a really nice car and i seem to remmeber you feel asleep once" Isabella said to Mark still smirking
"I didnt fall asleep i just rested my eyes" Mark defended himself
"Sure" derek and Isabella said as derek took a seat next to isabella.

"Whats going on?" Isabella asked suspicious
"Nothing" they both lied.
"You only do this when something is wrong" isabella said suspicious
"No we dont" mark squeaked
"When Amelia crashed her car and mum had to rush to the hospital you did this well it wasnt a hospital gallery it was my bed and when Nancy went into labour really early, you stayed with me and Amelia and did this. So whats wrong?" Isabella repeated.

"We are worried about you?" Derek jumped straight in
"There is nothing to be worried about" Isabella lied
"Why are you here?" Derek bluntly said
"I have told you im here before i start Art school, i told mum i was thinking of coming to seattle for a week and she said oh you should go see derek, hes just become cheif go congratulate him he will love to see you and marks there too so i came to see my two big brothers before i become a ball of stress covered in paint and pen" Isabella lightly laughed.

"I called mum" mark spat
"You did what" both isabella and derek jumped up from their seats.
"After i told you not" derek groaned
"I called her and she ddint know where you were" Mark spoke unemotionally

"Isabella" Derek questioned wanting a reason.
"I told her" Isabella excused
"I would expect this from Amelia running away but not you" derek scolded as Isabella fell back in her seat and mark took her place standing.

"What is going on?" They both screamed
"Nothing im fine" isabella tried to firmly say but her words wobbled
"Tell us Iggy" mark firmly said.
She didnt answer just sat there blankly waiting for the shouting to begin.

"STOP" a vioce firmly called from the door way. It was Amelia.
"Iz come with me" amelia smiled stretching her hand out to her little sister.

Isabella got up to go to Amelia but mark and Derek got in her way.
"Please, im fine just let me go" isabella pleaded.
"Something is wrong" mark belowed.
"Its not like you to get up and leave without a note" derek said, isabella didnt responded she didnt see the point in argueing anymore.
"Move" she softly begged.

"NO" They both belowed "tell us"
"Please listen i am telling you i am fine" Isabella pleaded
"But your not. We can tell that there is something going on. We just want to help" Derek shouted but softly.
"There is nothing to help with" Isabella softly spoke.
"Isabella just admit it" Mark shouted
"You ran. You dont run" derek continued
"What were you running from"

"Stop" meredith shouted standing next to Amelia.
"Meredith no" derek answered not moving his attention from Isabella.
"Derek the whole corridor and beyond can hear the two of you yelling at the poor girl, this is not the way let her go" Meredith persuaded him.
"Derek we cant" Mark tried to get him back to his side but his mind was made up as he moved out of the way, Isabella walked passed him not even saying a word, no smile of thanks, she just walked passed him, that was his clarification that mark was right and he couldnt let her leave but he was going to be gentlier about his approach to fhe probablem.

"Wait" Derek softly called as fhe sisters turned back to him.
"Come to mine" derek smiled "both of you" Amelias face was suddenly beaming.
"We can watch your favourite show and i won't correct it" derek suggested.
"That would be great, no correcrions bonus, Iz?" Amelia excitedly accepted.
"Yeah sounds fab. Only if thats okay with meredith?"
"Of course" meredith smiled "Whats the show?"
"House" derek said wide eyed.
"Its a great show" Amelia  smiled.

They all started to walk away but mark called them back.
"Derek we dont know what's going on? How to help?"
"Mark we have them back thats all that matters we pushed to much, we will find out when shes ready."

"Mark you coming?" Amelia asked poking her head back into the gallery.
"Miss out on Derek trying to not correct house count me in" Mark immediatly changed his tune.
