His whole face dropped. He didn't expect something like that... He wasn't ready... The the cool breeze around him had stopped, he felt as if it was really hot. His eyes filled with tears that he refused to let fall. He knew that if he started crying he would never stop. The little box that he had taken in his hand fell on the ground, taking Isabella's attention for a second. He couldn't even realise that it was actually happening. His heart stopped beating for a second. He didn't want to believe it. He finally managed to gulp and start breathing again. He looked down and then back into her eyes. The tears were now rolling down her face, but he still didn't want to cry. Isabella bend down and took the little box in her hand. Jaden's eyes didn't move or follow her. He just blankly stared out at nowhere. He didn't imagine that moment coming... He never thought what he would do, how he would manage this moment. Maybe that's why he didn't know what to do. He had always been thinking of what he would do in different situations, it always helped his anxiety... Or his panic attacks... He never thought of this though... Maybe he didn't want to think about it, he didn't want it to happen and pushed it out of his head... But now it was happening, and he didn't know what to do... He didn't... The only thing that he knew was that he felt just like then... He wasn't ready for that either... And now he's losing someone again... Someone who was somehow more important than his parents for him...

Isabella stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around his torso and pulled herself close to him. She didn't want to leave him like that, she didn't want to hurt him like that... She loved him. She kept rubbing her hands on his back, showing him that she'll be there... He didn't believe her though, he knew that it was the first step of her getting away from him... "I'm here Jae, I'm not leaving" she whispered hugging him tighter. She immediately called down a little when she felt his hands laying on her waist, thinking that he would hug her. Instead, he slowly pushed her away. "Get in the car..." He whispered, trying to avoid breaking down crying, as he caressed her cheek with his hand. She looked down and handed him the little box. "Are you sure that you can drive? Do you want me to drive instead? Or do you want me to take a taxi and leave you alone?" "Get in the car..." He repeated with a whisper again. She looked down and nodded, slowly walking up to the car. He stayed there, staring at the same point. He didn't really know which that point was, but he kept staring. He finally looked down and took a deep breath, feeling no emotion. What was he supposed to feel? Hurt? Just hurt? It wasn't just hurting... It was more than that... Way more...

He walked up to the car and got in the driver's seat, starting the car. Isabella looked at him as tears poured out of her eyes. "I'm sorry..." She whispered looking down. He just nodded... "Yeah" he said sarcastically. He didn't want to seem hurt, he didn't want her to think that he's the little boy who got heart broken, he didn't want her to see him as a cry baby who doesn't know what to do in these situations... Although he actually didn't... So, he decided to be an asshole. Even though he can't be an asshole to her... "Jae I'm really sorry... You don't understand why I did this-" "Then tell me, Bell. Tell me why the hell you did it!" He yelled making her flinch. He immediately shook his head and out his head in his hands. "I'm sorry I'm sorry" he whispered not looking at her. She just nodded and looked down.

The drive was very awkward, the two teens didn't talk. Jaden parked the car out of the house and waited for Isabella to get out. She didn't move though. "What?" He said coldly. "Aren't you coming with me? We can get some rest..." She asked and he shook his head. "I'm not tired" he said. "Are you sure-" "Yes Bell, I'm sure. Now get out" he said not looking at her. The girl looked down and nodded sad smiling. "Please stay safe..." She whispered caressing his cheek. He just stayed still, holding his tears and clenching his jaw, not wanting to cry. She leaned in and placed a kiss on his cheek. She finally got out of the car and then walked in the house. Jaden felt breaking down, only in the inside though. He did want to break down and cry so much that he wouldn't be able to breath anymore, but he wasn't going to do it.
