*ISABELLE*
                      "Isabelle?"He ran towards me confused.

"What are you doing here?, and why were you looking into my car window" my cheeks grew red, i felt really embarrassed.

"Well, i have to meet my sister so can you?" The last two words came out of my mouth as a whisper.

He chuckled as he opened the passenger door for me, unexpectedly a tiny laugh came out of me too.

He got into the car and started driving to the hospital, and i didn't know how to tell her,i didn't want to tell her, she already had a really rough time.

"Your sister knows"louis suddenly spoke out of nowhere.

"W-what?"

"Your sister knows that you have  glioblastoma, i told her"i sat there staring at him with my jaw dropped.

"You read my mind didn't you,but,out of nowhere, she would have been really shocked, you shouldn't have told her,she's gone through enough"

"I'm sorry,but she needs to know, she's your sister", he was right, she's my sister, she needs know, but, i don't to be a burden to her, i know,she does needs to know.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, i am, surprisingly, the cancer news isn't that shocking to me"he looked at me worried, and back at the road.

"Do you trust me?"he asked with his lips pressed in a straight line.

That was sudden, well,I think i do, i told him my secrets which i didn't even share with my two best friends,and he did comfort me, so i do,"i do"

He almost looked a bit relieved,

and the next two min of the car drive was filled with silence.

Until "I'm sorry" Louis broke the silence between us,

"For what?"i pretended to be confused even though i knew, what he was talking about,

"About that day, sort of leaving you,you were probably really confused right?,sorry"he said as he kissed his teeth.

"It's fine, no need to apologized though" he smiled at my words and the car again was filled with silence.

"Heyy" i tried to be as cheerful as possible, as i entered the room,liz looked up at me, tears formed in her eyes,

"Quit acting like nothing's wrong,do you really have cancer?,is that true?, it's not right?, he's just kidding right?"her soft cry turned into a sob,i stayed quiet,not daring to open my mouth,

i hugged her, with one of my hand on her head,in a comforting way,as she slowly leaned onto my shoulder,

On the other hand louis was standing at his usual spot, at the door,with his hand in his pockets,

When he looked at me, i swear, my skipped a beat,my cheeks grew red.

I looked away from him,

Why am i flustered all of the sudden.
