It's Almost Time ~Book Six in the Color Series~

Chapter 13

Leo's POV

"Why are you all dressed up dear?"

I asked as Isabelle walked into my room wearing dark blue jeans, a green shirt, a white scarf that some random designs on it, and she had dark ear rings that matched her jeans.

"I have a lunch date with my dad."

She said with a smile as she grabbed her brown boots that had a good size heel and sat down on the bed to slip them on. Her black hair fell around her face, I smiled at how beautiful she looked, but I sighed knowing that I couldn't let the 'ran into the frame' excuse she gave me yesterday slip . It was the  last straw.

"I need to talk to you Love."

I said standing up from the bed and  rubbed the back neck. Isabelle looked up at me a brow raised, the bruise on her face covered up with makeup, barley noticeable. 

She stood up from the bed and walked over to the closet that she had claimed as her own, pulling out her tan peacoat with gold buttons and frilled out towards the bottom.

"What about darling?" 

She asked sweetly as she slipped the coat on and pulled her hair out, letting it rest on her back.

"Why have you been lying to me?"

I asked crossing my arms over my chest. She froze and tilted her head to the side giving me a look of disbelief.

"What?"

She asked once she was past the shock.

"I know you have been training. I know you thought I didn't notice Isabelle but I did."

I said stepping closer to her. She shook her head and giggled.

"I don't have time for this."

She said as she walked out the door, me close on her heels.

"Isabelle you need to make time for this."

I called out as we walked down the hallway heading to the steps, she turned around with a very angry look on her face.

"What do you want? An I'm sorry? Well your not going to get one!"

She yelled. Now anger started to fill me and I didn't care if I could hide it.

"You went against my orders! I told you I didn't want you training but you did it anyways. Why?!"

She smirked as she started going down the steps two by two. I growled in frustration as I followed after her, grabbing her wrist. I tugged her so that she turned her body back to me, her eyes held fire and angry.

"Leo it wasn't Izzys idea. It was mine."

I turned around and saw Raph standing in the living, Chanel sitting on the couch by Liz, and Mikey standing by Raph. My anger accelerated knowing that my brother had went against my back and admitted to it.

"Stay out of this Raphael. Ill talk to you later."

He must have known by the tone of my voice that I was not in the mood to deal with him at the moment, because he lowered his head and didn't protest.

"Let go of me Leonardo."

Isabelle said as she tried to pull her arm away from me.

"Tell me why?"

I ask once again.

"Because I'm tired of being the damsel in distress all the time! What's your problem with me training huh?"

I was so taken back by her response I let her go, she went on.

"Do you just like girls who can't defend themselves? Does it make you feel unimportant if I don't need you to protect me all the time?!"

She yelled, I opened my mouth to yell back but it wasn't my voice.

"That can't be the problem. After all Leo had a thing for Karai and we all know she could defend herself."

Mikey said with a chuckle not realizing what he had just done.

"Mikey!"

Liz, Chanel , and Raph all yelled in unison. I looked at him in disbelief before turning back to Isabelle, who just looked at me like I had just stabbed her.

"You had a thing for Karai?"

She asked softly. I looked at her my anger starting to disappear, I didn't know what to say I just looked at her.

"It was a long time ago."

I said stepping closer to her, she shook her head and backed away from me.

"You never once said anything about that, I've told you everything about me. Everything!" 

She yelled at me with tears building in her eyes.

"Isabelle."

I said stepping closer to her but instead if her backing away she threw a fist, connecting hard right across my right cheek. I stumbled backwards in shock, my hand covering the spot she had just hit.

"I'm leaving."

She said turning her back and whistling for Maximus. He came running from his bed and walking by her side as she made her way out the opening.

" Isabelle!"

I called out causing her to stop, she turned her head and the look she had now was pure anger.

"I'm not coming home tonight."

She said, causing me to build up anger once again.

"Where do you plan on going?!"

I yelled, she chuckled at me.

"My father is Mathew Grace, I'll be where ever I want to be. And don't think I'm telling you where."

As she said it she threw her shell cell at me. I gracefully caught it taken back.

"But."

I started.

"But what? If you get lonely you can always go find Karai. I'm sure she'd love to spend time with you."

With that she walked out the opening, Max on her heels, nothing but silence echoing through the lair. I dropped my head cursing to myself.

"Way to screw everything up Leo."

I mumbled as I turned my back to the others.
