Connors pov

"layla, Haley, I need you guys to keep Izzy distracted for the day, take her shopping or something." I explain to these two girls, one of which I've known for less than 12 hours, "I need time to set up for tonight."

yesterday Haley flew in and we all got to meet her at dinner, she agreed to help me with surprising Isabel. I am thinking I will somehow kick everyone out of the house and decorate the dock. the guys will help me string fairy lights along the pergola that lays on top of the dock.

"hey Connor," Izzy makes her way into the kitchen to grab some breakfast, "what are you going to do today?" shit shit shit

"uhmm-" I look around the living room at the guys, trying to get an idea, "I think us guys were planning on playing volleyball, maybe go out fishing today." I try to come up with any idea that I know she doesn't like.

"oh, that sounds really boring actually." she pulls out her phone and mindlessly scrolls Instagram.

"hey Isabel, do you wanna go shopping with me and Haley today?" thank the Lord Layla finally decided to join our conversation. "It would be great girl time!"

"yeah, I would love to get to know you two girls!" Haley, Cole's girlfriend interjects. "where are we going?"

"I heard there was a big mall somewhere around here!" the girls try to figure out where they're going, I try to act interested in what their day holds, but I honestly don't care as long as they're out of my hair.

eventually the girls leave, time to get to work. the girls are going to have supper together as well, me and isabel agrees that tonight we wouldn't do supper, just the evening. Layla promised me she would keep the girls away until 7pm. I could never shop for that long.

me and the guys run to the walmart close by so that we can get the mini lights and all the stuff we'll need.

the guys didn't really have a choice if they wanted to help me today, I was going to force them. everyone had a pretty good attitude about it, except for luke. I don't know why, I think he's just always kinda in a pissy mood.

"Dude I'm so happy for you, we are going to make sure this is super special for both of you," jack puts his hand on my hand as he walks past me. I did not expect him to be the most supportive, considering his past with izzy, but here we are.

"so connor," trevor takes a pause, giving all of us time to prepare for whatever might come out of his uncleansed mouth, "if she dumps your ass can I have her?"

before I can say anything cole smacks him upside the head, "thank you cole" I make sure he knows my appreciation.

"trevor, we all know that if she dumps his ass, I will get her." luke joins trevor in this sick joke.

but wait, what if she doesn't say yes, I know she loves me, but what if she doesn't love me enough to say yes.

I stand there, staring at absolutely nothing, starting to freak out.

"hey, dude they're just fucking with you," alex tries to comfort me, but it can only do so much.

"what if she doesn't say yes?" I drop the box of lights I was holding, so I can go sit down on the couch.

"Bro, she left me for you. If she didn't love you she would've just broken up with me," wow thanks jack for bringing this to my memory again, once wasn't enough today apparently. "but when we broke up, she said it was because she still loved you. I don't think she'll ever stop loving you."

weirdly enough jacks words were comforting. Isabel left freaking jack hughes for me, maybe she did actually love me and wasn't making it up.
