My alarm clock woke me up. I don't know why if it's a Saturday. I groaned and turned to shut that thing off. It's so irritating. I try to go back to sleep but couldn't. I get off the bed and look in the mirror. On my body is some short shorts and a tank with no bra. My hair is a mess. I slightly comb it to take away tangles and discover a note from my mother.
"Isabella we need to talk. It's something about your father's business. Xoxo, Mom"
My father's business? What can go wrong? My dad owns one of the best money making boutiques. He did it for my mom. My mother always wanted to open her own boutique and so dad helped her and it turned out quite successful. I put the note down and went to brush my teeth.
Afterwards I walked downstairs to the kitchen. My mother is sobbing. I clenched my teeth and walked up to her. "Mom? What's wrong?" I asked while taking a seat next to her at the table. I try to touch her but she turns away. I got confused. She usually loves when I'm here to comfort her. She can be so emotional at times.
"Mom? I got the note. What is it about the business?" I asked trying to change the subject. I gave her a napkin and she wiped her brown eyes. My mom is beautiful. And I'm not saying because she's my mother but she is genuinely beautiful. Long wavy black hair. She has small delicate pink lips and big brown eyes with long lashes. She's quite skinny. Well considering I'm her only child I can understand that she could pull off the weight quickly. Shes smart too. She went to New York University to become a dancer or a photographer. She also took a business course and that's when she realized she wanted to open her own boutiques and sell clothes. In that same business course she met my father. They soon fell in love with each other. My father came from a rich family. So after they graduated and got engaged they opened up my mom's first boutique. The store was a huge success and my father decided to expand the business and it was a success.
"Isabella.. The business is going bankrupt."
I gasped. Bankrupt? What? "Bankrupt? But mom the stores are a big success! It's one of the top 10 stores in America to have the best business."
She's shakes her head no and wipes her tears away. Her hand grabs mine.
"The only way we can save the business and your father's business is if we find sponsors and partners to help save it. But the only way we can convince anyone is with you..."
What is she talking about? Is my mother saying I'm the one who can save the business? I'll do anything to save my mother and father. "Sure. What do I have to do mom?"
She bites her bottom lip and sighs. "No. I can't ask you to do this." She states.
"Mom what are you talking about?" I narrow my eyebrows and she stares at me with such worry on her face. "Mom tell me." I demand. I really want to know what she was going to ask me.
"You have to break up with Liam and be with the owner of the sponsor."
