Endless pain?

Endless pain? Chapter 10

 -Isabella's POV:-        

"I was only 7 years old when my mama died. S-"

I was just beginning to tell Adam my past when my phone begun ringing.

"ISABELLA! WHERE ARE YOU?! EVERYONE IS WORRIED SICK!" A worried Maggie screamed down the phone, i cringed at the tone of her voice. Damn she is scary when she raises her voice!

"I-i urm, I'm fine Maggie. I'm j-just at a friend's"

"What friend?" she asked curiously but then started shouting again.

"REGARDLESS, HAVE YOU NO IDEA OR ANY THOUGHTS OF HOW WE FEEL, WHEN WE FIND OUR FRIEND MISSING! DIDNT YOU-"

Before i could listen to what she was saying fully, Adam took the phone off me and started saying calmly, "Hey! It's me Adam. That's enough Maggie! I get you were worried but there is no need for that tone. She is already not well, so i dont think you raisin-"

"WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE ISNT WELL"

Wow, even though Adam had the phone, i could hear her clearly.

"Urm, yeah. A-at school, she fainted, so i took her to the nurse. I then brought to my house to urm rest. Look I'm sorry that we didn't inform you guys but seriously, informing people was the least of my worries. Anyway, I'm going to put the phone down and when we are done talking, i will drop her off home okay? Bye"

Before Maggie could reply, Adam quickly ended the call, knowing Maggie would have begun asking questions and shouting her cringe-worthy voice off.

However by then, i realised i didn't want to share my past, i had calmed down enough to realise that i shouldn't allow myself to get weak in front of people. By doing so, it could make people think I'm weak and unable to cope, and i didn't want that. I just needed to stay and look strong for my dad. It's a good thing that Maggie rang as even though i was prepared early, i now know i shouldn't say anything.

"So, where were we? About you mother's death?" Adam asked cautiously.

I felt a fresh batch of tears rising so i composed myself in order to respond.

"Urm yeah, dont worry about it Adam. I'm fine, just sometimes my emotions get the best of me. Wow! I should really take drama since I'm such a drama queen. Sorry for worrying you, I'll just go" i said nervously, hoping to lighten the situation and for Adam to get the hint and not question me any further.

Before i could get off the bed, Adam grabbed my hand.

"Wait! Isabella, please dont do this! I know you're hurting, i know you dont want to share this but i also know that you're feeling a burden on your chest. Look i won't force you but please talk to me if you need too. Dont bottle it up, it aint healthy. I'm serious, I've been through a rough patch in life, where i bottled things up and that led me nowhere but cause pain to myself and others. So please talk to me if you need to. Please"

I stared into his eyes, i felt as if i was lost, just by looking into them. He was doing the same, staring into my eyes, possibly looking for answers that I could never tell him. Why? Because life doesn't always work the way we want it to.

I blinked back the tears that were starting to fall and wiped the remainder.

"Adam, everything's fine, seriously. Look dont worry, I'm fine, just a bad patch in life. But thank you for the offer and i know where to turn if i need help. I'm sorry that this is the second time I'm rejecting telling you anything, but believe me, I'm still not comfortable with life at the moment, so it's hard. I'm sorry."

He let go of my hand and simply nodded.

"If you ever need anything Isabella, I'm always here for you okay?"
