ISABELLE

"Are you alright? You've been strangely quiet this morning..." I ask Trey, who's taking me home from the hospital since OB had football to worry about.

"I'm good."

"Now why are you lying to me?" I ask

"I'm just worried about you Isabelle."

"Worried about what? You don't have to worry about me Trey, I'm fine, I'll be fine." I tell him

"You're fine now, but anything can happen. And you being pregnant makes everything 10 times more riskier. You can't be stressed out, and we both know who stresses you out."

"He came to see me last night."

"What?" Trey asks, surprised as expected.

"He came to talk to me, it wasn't very long but he made me realize how much it tears me apart that we're not together, and not going to be together."

"Why not?" He asks

"I'm surprised you're not getting on my back about this... You should be saying it's better this way and that I should just move on..."

He sighs and shakes his head. Trey knows better. I know that's what he wants to say but he knows it's not that easy.

"I know that you still love him Isabelle. And that you're not going to get over at him like that. If the circumstances were right you know I'd want you guys to be together. You're both happier, that's for sure." He tells me

He pulls up to the beach house. I don't know how I feel about being here... But this is the place where I'd definitely be stress free.

"You need me to walk you in?" Trey asks

"You're not gonna come in?"

"I wish I could. But Chris needs me in the office right now. We're handling this last auction." He tells me

"Last auction?" I ask

"Yeah, last one. I guess he's done doing them, he doesn't need the money anymore and he hasn't been able to focus on them so, one last time, and it's supposed to be big. Not as big as yours.. Don't take it the wrong way but that one was iconic."

I roll my eyes.

"Thanks." I say

I get out the car and walk up to the door. Once I get it open, I wave at Trey so he can leave. I walk in and it smells just like it always did. It's like there wasn't even a fire here at all.

I haven't had this much time to myself in forever and I don't know what to do with myself. I'm used to always working, and saving money. Now I'm living comfortably. I don't really have to work, but I still want to.

I mean what else am I going to do? Think about Chris all day? Cause that's what's happening now.

All I want to do is be close to him, hear him talk. Nothing would even matter it'd just be us. No problems or anything. As much as I want to forgive him and start over, I don't think it's possible. I feel like that's something I'll always hold over his head, and he doesn't need that.

OB has been around, and he is the father of my kid. I'm not gonna force myself into being with him just because of that. That's not fair to either of us. I can try but no promises. But that doesn't mean he can't be a father to his kid, I'm not gonna be petty like that. I'm also not going to make him pay a ridiculous amount of child support like some hoes.... I might not even make him pay anything. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of a child on my own.
