After losing their father and taking over his business they can't help but feel alone, that is until she gets offered a job after going viral online....
Me and Demi were at a club to celebrate her return to NXT after what happened at Wrestlemania. She was proud of herself for returning, it took her a lot of courage and work to bring herself back and she was happy that it all paid off so we had planned the night out together, just us two.
I was finishing off my drink when a hand met my wrist and pulled me closer to her. She looked directly into my eyes as we danced together; her hands gliding up and down the red dress I had on.

We were so enamoured by each other and lost in each others embrace that we didn't notice my phone repeatedly going off on the table until the song came to a close and we sat back down.

This went on a few more times and they continued to call me while I was going outside. Demi grabbed our things and joined me outside considering whatever they were calling me for must've been important. "Hey Trav, what's up?" Immediately after I picked up the phone my mood changed. Travis was audibly hyperventilating and it sounded like he was crying. "Trav? What's wrong? You're scaring me..." There was a pause on the line as trav tried to calm himself down. "Izzy. She's been in an accident" my heart sank to the floor and my breathing became heavier as I realised that one of my best friends was in danger. "I'm on my way. I'll be there soon, just hold on!" Me and Demi ran over to the car and although I had been drinking; in this moment I sober right up. I knew it was dangerous to be driving this fast but I couldn't help it. My friend was in danger I didn't care about myself at this point.
As if things couldn't get any worse, my drive to the hospital was longer than I anticipated when I got caught in a traffic jam. "FUCK! COME ON MOVE!!!" I shouted at the cars in front, desperate to get to my destination. I looked around my car and found my sneakers in my backseat. I wasn't wearing shoes because I wasn't going to drive in heels and I had not time to waste in traffic. I pulled the car over and slipped on my sneakers before climbing out of the car "catch up when you can." Was all I said to demi, who had moved to the driver's seat. I ran. The hospital was 3 blocks away and I ran more in a morning. I could get there in ten minutes max if I ran which would be quicker than driving given the vast amounts of cars.
The moment I ran through those hospital doors and saw Travis at the entrance. I knew. I was too late. I didn't even have chance to say goodbye to her. She was gone. I didn't want to believe it. I wouldn't. She couldn't be gone. She was too young. This was too soon. "No. No she's not. Trav tell me she's okay. TELL ME MY BEST FRIEND ISN'T DEAD!" I screamed unable to control my emotions. Travis was crying, he knew I wasn't shouted at him in a mean way and he just pulled me into their chest. I bawled my eyes out, my knees growing weak as I fell to the floor in anguish. I couldn't breathe. "She's not dead. Please she can't be dead..." I wept into travs chest grasping at his shirt. He held onto me tightly, unable to talk out of the shock they were experiencing. I was so lost in my wails that I didn't even notice the anger that surged through my body. "What happened..." I asked, trying not to shake too much. "Hit and run." Trav muttered, gradually getting quieter as he realised that I was growing angrier. I stood back up and I couldn't control my anger. "FUCK!" I screamed; throwing my phone at the wall, watching it shatter under impact. I just barely missed my girlfriend; I didn't notice she was here but I couldn't control myself. I began screaming and crying; involuntarily hitting Demi and her arms wrapped around me. She knew I was in pain, she knew I wasn't trying to hurt her, and I was glad she wasn't angry at me for hitting her. She knelt down and swayed a little with me trying her hardest to calm me down a bit. A few members of staff had run over in a panic at my outburst but demi was just sending them away.
Demi pov:
I held Sydney close to my chest; trying to keep them from having another outburst. I wasn't 100% sure what had happened but due to Sydney's reaction; I had a pretty good guess. I didn't let go as Syd relaxed into my chest, I figured that this was part of the outburst, becoming numb. I held my arm out to Travis and he joined us on the floor, allowing himself to break down. I looked down to see Sydney's exhaustion had caught up to her and she had crashed; passing out in my arms. "Trav?" I said, to which he responded with an exhausted hum. "do you need a ride home?" He didn't respond vocally but he did nod. "Do you wanna go to your place?" I asked, "not really..." They whimpered. "You wanna stay in our spare room tonight?" He nodded. Giving me all the information I needed. I picked Syd up and placed them on the backseat with trav there to stabilise them and drove back to our apartment. The melancholic vibes followed us everywhere but we all knew why. Syd hadn't woken up so I just placed her in bed before heading to Trav's apartment to grab some essentials for them. Upon entering the apartment it felt mournful; Izzy's presence was missing and it just hit me that Sydney's best friend had passed away. I didn't like the feeling of it. While I was packing some of Travis's things up I heard a high pitched meow from the corner of the bedroom that belonged to Isabelle. I opened the door slowly to find a grey tabby cat rubbing against my leg. I couldn't leave him so I picked him up and drove home with him on my lap.
Trav was in the kitchen when I got home and handed him his things. "I see you've met scrappy." He said pointing to the cat that clung onto my shoulder. I smiled and nodded "couldn't leave him" I sighed. Trav nodded and paused for a moment "I... Know this is a stretch, but I've noticed Ryuk. I'm terrible with cats. And Syd loves scrappy. Could you possibly take him?" I smiled and nodded; how could I say no. After a moment of talking trav went to bed and I followed joining a passed out Sydney in bed. I wasn't sure on how she would react tomorrow, I just hoped that she wouldn't isolate herself...
