It's been a month. I keep getting flashbacks. I'm still "recovering" the doctor says. I remember everyone else. That girl that visited me hasn't come back. I never told anybody about her.

The door opens and it's the doctor.

"I have good news, Isabella. Your leaving the hospital today." He says

I start jumping for joy. Luke comes in and calls everyone else in the room. My mom packs my stuff. Alex and Luke help me out, and Peyton gets the car. We are about to leave, when Luke tells me that he wants to show me something.

He takes me and there is a little girl.

"Isabella this is my sister, Emma. She has cancer. She has about a year. I'm all that she has. She is all I have. I can't lose her." He says crying.

"How old is she?" I whisper.

"She's 10."

I raise my hand to my mouth, I grab Luke in a hug. We stand there for a little while. Luke crying and me holding him.

"When I was there while she was puking, and losing her hair my parents weren't. Ms.Reed isn't our grandma either, she my neighbor but she took Emma to the doctors, so she's like a grandma." he mumbles.

"Luke why are you crying?" Emma ask.

It's her, it's the girl that visited me that night. It's her voice.

"I wasn't  crying munchkin, my eyes are watery." He says sniffling.

"You are right Luke she is beautiful." Emma says.

I blush slightly.

"Thank you." I say.

Luke kissed her head and whispers something in her ear.

"Bye munchkin, we have to take muffin home. Grandma and I will visit you tonight." He says.

"Can muffin come?" Emma pleads.

"No, I don't think she wants to come back here tonight."

"Actually I would love to come back." I say hitting Luke.

We leave. I see Peyton's car and five other cars behind hers. I hesitate getting in the car.

"The doctor said this was normal, just take your time." My mom says.

I finally get in the car. I'm looking out the window.

"Are you excited?" Peyton ask.

"Why would I be excited?" I say.

"Your going home." She says

"I'm not sure Peyton." I say.

We get home, and a car is sitting in the driveway.

We pull in and my dad, a woman I never met, and two kids get out.

I ignore them, and sit on the couch.

"How are you?" He ask.

"GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! GET HER AND THE BRATS OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I yell.

Everyone is at the door watching me explode.

"We are not leaving, we're not going to let you leave Isabella, not this time." He says.

"Is that what you said when you left? Is that what you said when you made a new family? Is that what you said when you left us broke? Don't tell me not to leave when you left, I'm not doing this right now." I hiss.

Peyton, Luke, and Alex come to my defense. Luke looks like he is about to murder my dad. Peyton looks like she wants to pull the woman's hair out, and Alex is just glaring.

"I'm not leaving Isabella."

"Wanna know what to Adam. You could've seen me in the hospital, but no you wait until I get to my safe place, the place that makes me happiest. You have just ruined the happiness. Are you happy?" I ask.

My mother is looking at me devastated. I know she doesn't like to see my dad with another woman. I see it in her eyes. It's tearing her up.

"Adam I think it's best if you leave, you guys can talk when you don't bring them along." My mother says.

A chorus of 'get out' follows. They get up and leave. I watch him and his family leave.

Everyone is looking at me.

"Haha now you know my dad left me, now you all know my secret." I say before I run up the stairs and throw myself  on my bed.
