"hey," i said as i picked up the phone. "what's wrong?" isla looked like she had been crying.
"my dad cheated on my mom."
"oh."
"yeah."
i didn't know what to say. what do you even say in this situation? "do you wanna talk about it or anything? you know i'm here if you need me, isla." she paused.
"can i just come over? i can't be here right now, my dad and my mom are just arguin—"
"isla, you know you're allowed over anytime you want, of course you can come over. don't even worry about clothes, i still have the drawer of your stuff in my room. if you want to, we can bake or watch tv if you wanna get your mind off it."
"thank you connor, i'm on my way soon."

i needed to clean my room before she got here. i organized my desk, picked up my clothes off the floor, and made my bed. i went downstairs to where my mom, dad, and brady were.
"guys, isla's coming over so don't be weird or anything." i said while looking at brady specifically.
"i haven't seen her in so long, how is she?" my mom spoke up. "i thought you guys broke up, i was starting to get sad."
"mom, we were never together and we never will be together, please, just tone it down she's going through something." i didn't want to be just friends. i want more than that. but does she? i heard a knock on the door and sprinted for it.
"hi," she gave me a warm smile, i could tell she was trying not to cry. it hurt me seeing her sad, i didn't like it. i wish i could make all of her problems disappear. "hellooo, earth to connor??" she laughed.
"huh? oh. sorry, i forgot you were still standing outside, come in."
"it's fine con, don't worry i'm just joking with you."
"isla honey is that you?" my mom said from the living room.
"hi mrs. noon!! yes it is me, how've you been?"
"i've been great dear, it's nice to see you again." my mom gave her a smile.
"it's nice to see you again too, mrs. noon."
"isla come on, you wanna go upstairs?" i was tired of waiting. i took her hand and went up the stairs into my room, and i closed the door shut. "you can set your stuff down anywhere, doesn't matter."
"okayy, wanna watch you?" she said as she set her stuff down, and jumped onto my bed.
"yeah, sure. i'm fine with anything you choose." i gave her a smile. i laid down next to her, grabbed my laptop and put it on top of my legs. "are you cold or anything?"
"maybe a little but it's fine i can manage," she gave me a quick glance before returning her eyes to the screen. i look over at her, and she still has the same expression on her face. i wish she didn't have to go through this.
"are you okay isla?"
"mhm."
"do you wanna talk about it or anything?"
she sighed. "i don't know what to think, connor." her voice breaking with each word. "i just, i don't know, i didn't think he would do that."
i pulled her into a hug. "i know you didn't, i'm always here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on." she pulled away from me and wiped her tears.
"connor you're honestly the best person i could ask for right now."
"i try to be. you make me want to be a good person," and before i knew it, we stayed up talking the whole night and she fell asleep in my arms.
