"I'm sorry I'm not what you wanted."

Isabella pov

When I wake up I feel hug arms tightly around my waist, I open my eyes and see I'm in an unfamiliar room.

Oh God where am I?!

Panicking, I start moving around trying to get out of the persons hold,"Sweetheart what's wrong?" When I hear the voice I calm down,"Sorry, I didn't know where I was Apollo," I say turning around to face him.

He looks good in the morning, sounds good too.

Oh my gosh Isabella you can't be thinking that! He is your best friend, and probably doesn't even like you that way.

"So about what happened yesterday," he starts,"Do you want to forget it happened or do you want to talk about it?"

"I t-think we should talk about it," I mumble, trying to look away from him but he grabs my chin to make me loot at him.

"Are we going to actually let something happen between us?" He asks,"I don't know, Do you want something to happen Apollo? Do you even like me that way?"

"Of course I do sweetheart, why else would I ask you that?" He says,"I don't know, it's just i didn't think you would like me that way. People I've liked never like me back," I mumble, and start to play with the hoodie strings,"So do you want to try and be together?"

"You're sorry for almost kissing someone?! Dad said no boyfriends!" Alex yells.

"B-but my d-dad said no boyfriends, and you seen how Alex reacted yesterday," I say,"we can always be secret?" He says, but it's more off a question.

"Okay fine," I sigh,"but how will it work?" I ask,"well we can just hang out at my house more, at school just act like friends and not tell anyone, we can tell my parents if you want to though."

"Yeah I think we can tell your parents. do you have any clothes I can wear?" I ask remembering I'm in his hoodie," oh yeah there's an outfit on the counter in the bathroom, along with everything else you need," he says before I get up and walk over to his bathroom.

After I use the bathroom and brush my teeth and brush my hair to put it in a high ponytail, I put the outfit on.

After I get the skirt and sweater, I can see the bruises are barely noticeable so I don't try and find some concealer

After I get the skirt and sweater, I can see the bruises are barely noticeable so I don't try and find some concealer. I exit the bathroom and see Apollo not in the room, so I grabs my shoes from yesterday and put them on.

"Apollo, your best friends ha- wait you aren't Apollo, who are you?" A guy who looks a little shorter then Apollo says,"I-I'm Isa-" I start but get rudely interrupted,"maybe it's one of his one-night stands?" The person who interrupted, looks about 6'2 just like Apollo.

"N-no I-I'm Isabella, h-his f-friend," I say, why do I always stutter?

"Sebastian, Everett what are you doing here?" Apollo says, putting his hands on my shoulders making me slightly jump,"Well we wanted to say hi today but when we came in we seen her," the shorter tall one says, pointing at me.

"This is my-" he starts but I interrupt him,"his very good friend!" Apollo looks at me like I'm crazy and after a second realizes.

"You're lying," the boy who's around apollos height says. Sighing I get up and turn around and hug Apollo,"I have to call Ales to pick me up," I sigh, then kiss his cheek. I grab my phone and call the contact 'Cuddly bear' and wait for him to answer,"Isabella Avery! Where are you?!" Is the first thing I hear,"A-at My f-friends house, I t-thought I told d-dad," I stutter," No, you told no one, we've been calling you, give me your friends address so I can pick you up," he says then hangs up.With shaky hands I go to my messages with dad.

I didn't send it.

Shit shit shit. What am I going to do? Are they going to put me in foster care for the next year before I turn 18?

"Avery what's wrong? You're crying," Apollo says, but I can barely hear him over my thoughts.

It's getting hard to breathe, I feel like I'm dying.

No no no no! I can't do this again.

I feel shaky and I can tell I'm crying, and I start shaking.
