It's been three months since I moved in with Mariah. To say it's been easier would be a lie. As amazing as it is to spend a lot of time with the girl you are falling for, we butt heads a lot. There are times when I think that she's just playing me. I've come home a few times and caught her with a different person each time. It definitely hurt but I have no right to say anything because we aren't actually together. There are also times where I do miss my family, I'll never admit that to anyone but it's true. School has been a whole other realm of hell. I see my sister and Bea in the halls sometimes during the day. On some occasions they tried talking to me, but I just kept walking and completely ignored them. It may have been harsh but it isn't like they'd care anyways. Ever since I moved in with her, I haven't spoken to any of my friends. When I try they ignore me.

The only thing that isn't messed up at the moment is basketball. We've been doing really good, undefeated actually. Basketball is the only place where I feel like I belong. When I'm on that court nothing else matters, all my thoughts are wiped out. Other than that, though, everything is shit.

I am currently sitting on my bed trying to block out the loud moans coming from the other room. I even had Formation by the Queen herself playing at full volume through my headphones, could still hear them. "uh..yes, don't stop," alright that's it, I've had enough. I stomped angrily across the hall and pounded on the door. Nothing. Taking the risk, I barge in. I will never be able to get this image out of my head. Mariah's head snapped in my direction.

"What the actual fuck!" Mariah shouted. You could see the anger and annoyance in her eyes.

"May we help you?" she went on still angry that I just barged in and stood there frozen.

"Yeah actually, if you could stop fucking for a minute to realize you're louder than bombs going off that would be ace" I stabbed back.

"You are more than welcome to leave, no one is forcing you to stay," she said matter of factly. I couldn't tell if I was more shocked, hurt, or angry at that. But I shook it off because I should have expected it. This was all too good to be true.

"You're right" with that I walked out and back into my room. I grabbed a bag and started stuffing anything I could fit. Next thing I knew Mariah was barging in. "Where do you think you're going?" she questioned angrily. "I'm leaving." She just stared at me with rage. "Where do you think you're going to go huh? Your family doesn't want you and you have no friends. You gon sleep on the streets so you can get raped, murdered, kidnapped, even forced into a gang? Huh?" I just stared at her blankly. "Didn't think this through did you?" She continued. Those words hurt, I knew they were all true, but coming from her, it hurt. Her of all people. I finished packing what little had and pushed passed her towards the door.

"Iz, I'm sorry I didn't mean that," she said grabbing my wrist. I ripped it out of her grip and continued walking. Walking down the street she didn't follow. It stung, more than it should've, but I didn't care at the moment. I'm done with everyone.

I've been walking for a long time now. I stopped once or twice to get food and go to the bathroom with the money I had from when I left home. I'm not quite sure where I am, though. It's a little frightening but exciting at the same time. I was free. I was finally free. *honkkkhonkkkkkk* I looked to my right, it's as if everything was moving in slow motion. Before I could react it was too late, everything went black.

Dianna's POV (changing it up cause why not)

"Mom c'mon, get up. It's been 3 months and you haven't moved from that spot." I heard my oldest speak. I couldn't form words to reply to her. I could not begin to explain what I was feeling right now. I shouldn't have let her leave. I should've stopped her, I should've realized how she was feeling sooner. I am a horrible mother and now I've lost one of my babies and who knows if she's coming back. I heard knocking again. "Mom seriously, we're getting really worried. Please come out." My youngest, Madison spoke. This time, I found the energy to get up. Opening the door they all had surprised and relieved looks on their faces. By all I mean my husband, Demi, Dallas, Maggi, Bea, and Maddie.

"I'm fine," I spoke. "No, honey you're not-" *ring-ring-ring* Maddie ran downstairs to get the phone.

Maddie's POV

As soon as I heard the phone ring I ran downstairs, as fast as I could, secretly and I mean secretly wishing it was Izzy saying she's coming home. Or even just calling to say hi or something like that. I picked up the phone and was instantly disappointed at the male voice on the other line.

"Hello is Mrs. De la Garza there?" the voice spoke.

"Uh yeah, but who is this?"

"This is Dr. Karev from Grey Sloan Memorial speaking" I stood there puzzled as to why a doctor would be calling for my mom.

"Hello?" I was snapped out of my thoughts by the same male voice. I ran upstairs and was greeted with 12 pairs of eyes. I looked at one pair individually and said, "It's for you," handing my mom the phone.

"Hi," she spoke.

"Hello, is this Mrs. De la Garza?"

"Yes, it is.." words hesitant.

Her face flushed and tears started welling up in her eyes, I'm not sure what the doctor said but it couldn't have been good news. We all stood scared, curious as to what's going on.

Dianna's POV

"This is Dr. Karev from Grey Sloan Memorial. There's been an accident involving your daughter and we're going to need you to come down here." Everything that I felt before just got a million times worse. I froze, not sure how to respond, not sure what to say, not sure how to react. This is all a dream, right? It's not real, it's a dream, I'm asleep.

"Ma'am, we're going to need you to come down right now." All I could do was hang up, I couldn't find words to say to him. As soon as I hung up, everyone was looking at me expectantly. My mouth opening and closing trying to compose words.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Demi pushed frustrated with the silence.

"Izzy, it's Izzy. Something happened." I fell to my knees, just letting all emotions free. This has to be a dream, right?
