Living in the Past

Chapter 5

Esteban's POV

I entered the very familiar workshop of Isa, and looked around. Isabella was on her table working. The basics of the room were the same, there was just a lot more inventions, then the last time I came here. I remembered the times me and Isa used to spend here working on some crazy inventions Isabella wanted to make, and smiled. 

We always had a lot of fun when we worked together. I thought. 

Until you went ahead and ruined all of it. said the little voice in my head.

Isa's voice brought me out of my thoughts. 

"Esteban, hey" said Isa.

"Hi" I replied back awkwardly

"Come on over here, I will show you what I have been working on" said Isa

I went over to the table she was working at.  I saw all the blueprints of the invention, it actually seemed really interesting. As soon as I sat down at the seat next to Isa, she started rambling on and on about how the invention worked. She always does that when she is in the zone. She forgets about everything else and just starts talking. I missed listening o her rambles. Sure, they made me feel stupid, because I couldn't understand some of the things she said. But, just seeing her this excited melted my heart. 

"I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried so many combinations of the variables, but I can't seem to find the perfect measurements" said Isa

"Let me see" I said, and started looking at the blueprints. 

NoOne's POV

Esteban and Isabella worked at the invention for hours going back and forth, back and forth on what should be done. Until they finally figured it out. 

"YES" said Isa "These measurements are perfect. we did it." 

"I told you we could figure it out" said Esteban

Esteban's POV

We finally finished the blueprints, after so long, and we were just celebrating, when something that I never expected happened. Isa HUGGED me. 

"Thank you so much, I couldn't have done this without you." said Isa. 

After a few seconds I hugged her back. 

"Your welcome" I said. 

After a few seconds we stopped hugging, and Isa started cleaning up the workshop. 

It felt so weird and familiar at the same time. I felt so calm . I missed this feeling. The feeling of being hugged, of knowing someone cared. I thought I would never have this feeling again, after all that had happened. I thought even though they brought me back into their home, they couldn't have brought me back into their hearts. But maybe, just maybe I am wrong. 

"Right, she is just being nice, because she is a nice person not like you. She doesn't want anything to do with her parent's killer. It's just a matter of time she will get sick of you, they will all get sick of you and kick you out.  After all, after everything you have done you do deserve it." said the little voice in my head. 

Isa brought me back to the real world. "Let's go and eat dinner Esteban, Abuela said we should be there by 8, and it's already 8:15." said Isa

"I am not really hungry. I think I am just going to go to bed. You go ahead and eat dinner." I replied. I thought that everything can go back to normal, but the voice is right. They hate me and don't want me around. They are just acting nice. Well, I will just make it easier for them, and stay away from them as much as I can. It's the least I can do for them.

"Alright, Good night, I'll see you tomorrow." said Isa, and left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts once again.
