I call blakeny to update her on the situation "oh my god blake im at jacks family lake house and his brother brought connor along not knowing the lore and now I have to spend an entire summer with him i can't possibly ignore him that long what do I do?" i say basically crying into the phone.

"K isabel first im going to need you to calm down okay? it will all be okay, not quite sure how yet, but don't worry. it will." we talk on the phone for a couple minutes until she has to go.

i sit on my bed crying to myself, freaking out, not knowing what to do. i hear a quiet knock on my door "it's jack, can i come in?" he asks. "yeah" i somehow squeak out.

"i am so sorry, i did not know that connor was going to be coming with luke, he's never mentioned him" jack tries to comfort me, rubbing my back.

"how are luke and connor even connected?" i sob into my hands

"i think that connor and adam got close, i think since they were first and second pick last year. sometimes the guys bring their friends, i didn't think that adam would bring connor tho"

"do you think he's gonna stay all summer? i don't think i can handle that" a bit of hope in my voice, that maybe connor will only stay a couple days.

jack just sighs, "i think he's planning on it. im really sorry izzy" he says giving me a big hug.

eventually me and jack leave my room, once i've calmed down and we go grab some supper that the others have prepared for us.

layla comes up to me and gives me a hug "hey girl, you okay?" she says with a worried look on her face.

"yeah im fine" i manage to get out, "when a woman says she's fine, she never is. whats up?" she keeps on pushing

"how about this, we have a little sleepover tonight and then I'll update you on everything." i give her a little wink and walk away to go get my hot dog ready.

it was like he timed it, the second i took a massive bite out of the hotdog connor approaches "hey isabel, can we talk?" i obviously can't talk right now since my mouth is way too full with hotdog.

after a couple seconds of us staring at each other, me signaling with my fingers to give me one second, i am able to swallow my full bite and start yelling at him.

"no we can't connor! you think you can walk right back into my life after what you did to me? you think that after 2 months I will just get over the fact that you fucked a random girl in OUR bed? cause newsflash! you can't! i don't know what kind of stunt you think you're pulling, but it's not working" i say as i walk away, nowhere in particular, but anywhere that connor isn't.

i find myself walking towards the dock, so i take off my sandals and dip my feet in the water, softly sobbing. after about 10 minutes trevor approaches me, "hey belle, can i call you that? actually i don'r really care, im going to call you that." he gives me a plate with the rest of my hotdog on it so i can finish it.

i let out a soft chuckle, cause i know no matter what i say he won't stop.

"do you want to talk about anything?" he asks me, hinting towards the connor situation.

"well not really, but since you're asking. k so basically we dated for just less than a year, then he cheated on me with another girl in our bed. so then i broke up with him and left without saying anything and he basically forced me to block him since he wouldn't leave me alone."

"it's giving clingy" trevor says in probably the most zesty voice i've ever heard.

we talk for about another hour about our exes and past relationships when we decide its time to go back up to the house.
