"night"

isabel aggressively sighed walking down the streets of london on the phone with the person who she now hated most, on the brink of tears but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. "charlie, i saw the fucking video! you think i'm an idiot or some shit"

"what are you talking about? i didn't cheat on you" he yelled from the other end of the phone "yea, whatever get off my phone" she removed the phone from her ear, hovering over the red button "bells, come on. tell me where you at?" his voice lowered from an anger tone to a much calmer and filled with concern "i'll be home soon." she finally hung up stuffing the phone into her pocket.

calling it home was a complete lie, charlie was never around anyway for it to be their home,  it was just another one of his bitches houses where he got a goodnight's sleep. her mind continuously spiraled around the idea of how well he managed to cheat on her without her even noticing, but even the 'good ones' are liars. isabel opened the spotify app, playing one of her favorite playlists while walking to the train station. she took her time walking, not wanting to rush especially knowing charlie was waiting for her.

as she continued walking a black car sped past her soaking her in water from the nearby puddle. 'what the fuckkkk' bella didn't even bother to react fully, the damage had been done and instead, she continued standing by the crosswalk waiting for the light to change.

the same car came back, slowly approaching her as the driver rolled down their window before speaking. "yo miss? our bad, yeah. you good tho?"

isabel huffed and nodded, barely hearing him as he talked — her eyes wandered around the car being nosy and connecting with ones in the back. he wore a turquoise nike tech and if it weren't for the color, isabel probably wouldn't even look his way. the car drove off as she continued her travels to the train station until it got too late. it was already quoter to 12, trains don't run properly at night.

getting off the train made her feel uneasy, just as suspected, he was leaning up against his car rapidly tapping his leg. charlie hadn't noticed her yet so isabel pretended not to acknowledge his presence and walked towards the bus stop. "what the fuck happened?" charlie rushed over noticing isabels state and placed his jacket over her but she brushed it off., he sucked his teeth forcing the jacket over her "yo quit acting out, are you mad !"

bella scoffed letting him take the lead as she already had enough of his shit for today "take me to my brothers" she said in a low tone but loud enough for him to hear as he started up the car. "no, i'll take you home so we can settle this" bella rolled her eyes leaning back into the seat "now it's ours" he gripped the steering wheel not enjoying her attitude right about now "speak up."

"nothing just drive" charlie let out an annoyed sigh, just like bella he had enough shit for the day, and isabel was just his ticking time bomb. when they pulled up to their flat, bella opened the car door causing charlie to rush over to help her out as if he was a gentleman. she paid it no mind pulling out her keys to open the building door. inside, charlie wasted no time talking about their situation while bella on the other hand, went into the kitchen acting unbothered to grab some food.

she hadn't eaten since early morning and she was starving. "bells, stop acting childish man. come babes let's talk this out" bella didn't respond, she walked over to the living room took a seat in the armchair facing charlie, and filled the room with uneasy silence.

"how did you do it?" she finally spoke looking up at him "what chu mean?"

"i trusted you, years charlie for fucking years. who's to say this isn't the first time"

charlie fell silent, he didn't know what to say and he didn't want to lose isabel. he got up testing his chances in trying to comfort her like normal but she pushed him away leaving him standing in front of her awkwardly "calm down bella" he said softly.

"don't fucking tell me to come down! i have all right to be fucking upset" isabel yelled loud enough for the whole apartment floor to hear. she was fuming with anger as tears continued to fall from her eyes. she tried her best to wipe them away but they kept coming. charlie couldn't even look at her without feeling so much guilt. he knew he was wrong but didn't want to accept that, he cared for isabel so much. just not enough for him to stay only with her.

"i'm done talking, pack your shit" she got up from her seat walking towards the room they once shared "actually, i'll pack my shit. i want you out of my life." charlie quickly rushed to her side holding onto her hands "isabel, sit down. lemme talk right quick. it meant nothing, i've only loved you. you got to believe me, baby. it was just a slip-up, we got into a fight that night — i went out with mandem to blow off some steam, but i didn't have any sex with no other fems. i swear"

everything he said sounded like total bullshit to her and she wasn't going to stay, not this time. isabel had enough of his shit, she pulled away from him and grabbed a duffel bag to pack her stuff leaving charlie standing outside the bedroom door. she called herself an uber to her brother's house and locked herself in the room until she received a 'your driver is outside' notification on her phone. charlie followed behind her like a lost puppy waiting for isabel's next move. she got in the car, rolling down the window "don't ever talk to me again. have fun with all the other women you were messing with."
