On the Edge of Love *on hold*

Never Home

*Noah’s POV*

       I swear, every time I wake up with Isabelle in my arms I feel like the happiest man alive. Over the past few months, she has quickly become the center of my life once again. I mean that in the very best way possible, I love her more than any will ever know. She gave back a perspective on life I lost so long ago, and I can’t be more thankful. I stand up, and carefully pick her up from the couch trying not to wake her. Slowly I bring her into our room and gently place her in the bed. Lifting the covers around her, I kiss her forehead before heading off to the closet. I grab a t-shirt and sweatpants and quickly change into them thankful to be out of the other outfit. I walk out to the kitchen and put some bread in the toaster, deciding on making regular breakfast later because I had a feeling Izzy wouldn’t be up for quite some time. I filled a glass of water and grabbed a plate along with peanut butter and a butter knife. Quickly putting together my food and eating it, I walk into the living room only to hear the rustling on Izzy getting out of bed. Soon enough, she walks in with her hair in a messy bun, looking beautiful as ever, and plops on the couch. We decide to make the day a lazy one and just enjoy eachothers company. After it strikes one o'clock my phone begins to ring in the other room, but because of our plans I decide to just leave it to go. Once the ringing ceases, there is a pause followed by a tone signifying I have a voice mail. Within ten seconds my phone rings again, and yet I repeat the process again. By the third call, I realize something is wrong. Whatever is going on, it doesn't have time to wait. I get up and jog to the location of my phone, missing the call by seconds. Glancing at the screen I see all my calls are from Jordan.

“Hey Izzy?” I yell to her with slight panic in my voice.

“Who was it?”

“Jordan. I think something might be wrong” As the word leave my mouth I have the phone to my ear waiting for the rings to end and his voice to start.

*Izzy’s POV*

“Jordan. I think something might be wrong” I get up from the couch and begin walking.

“What do you mean you think something is wrong?” I get no answer, so walk slightly faster to see he has his phone to his ear I wait impatiently, and finally I Jordans muffled voice. I can’t tell what he is saying but I can tell he speaking fast and he seems upset. Just in case I go put some things together, the same way I did about two months ago for Noah. As if on cue, he shouts that we have to go. Tossing him a shoe and sweater, he gets ready to leave, as well as I. With both go to his car, and I jump in the drivers seat.

“Where to?”

“Jordans house.” He voice shaking, obviously worried. “Aidens gone.”

*Aiden’s POV*

I had to leave. I cant take it, I don't want to be here anymore. I want to leave this area, forget everyone I know. I want to start fresh. Get rid of everything. I just want to get on this train and go. Everything will be fine that way. I won’t have to mess up their lives, someone else will deal with me. With my “issues” and thoughts. Jordan will get a break, Noah and Isabelle won’t have to worry about me doing anything. All it will take it one simple cab ride to the train and the step that will change my life. Thats it, and everyones life will be simpler.

*Noah’s POV*

Our trip was silent. The only sound that filled the space was the hum of the car. When we get there, Izzy quickly pulls into the driveway and we both jump out. I just open the door, and find Jordan isn’t in sight. We both walk around the house and I find myself looking into the back yard. Immediately I see his fiery hair. I shout to Isabelle before walking outside. I sit down and let him explain what’s going on. Glancing back I see Izzy on the porch trying not to disrupt him. After he is done, she grabs her phone and starts tapping away. Putting it away she walks back inside, within seconds I receive a text from her saying: “Keep talking to Jordan, keep him calm. I’m going to drive around and try to find Aiden.”

*Isabelle’s POV*

Jumping in the car, my head runs thru all the places where he could be. My first thought is the small cafe where we all met the first time. When I find he isn't there, I drive to a few other places where he may be. On my way to the park, I pass the train station, and something catches my eye. Quickly turn into the lot, and I look at light blond fluff sitting on someones head. I park, only seeing the back of his head, and jump out running toward the platform. I know I have sometime as there is no train yet, but I rush anyway.

*Aiden’s POV*

Leaving is my best bet. No one has found me, no one cares enough to look. I know that now. So, now I’m here, waiting for my ticket out of here. To start a new life. It’s honestly interesting here, to see the families and single people all around. Maybe one of them are escaping like me. The best thing about this, is all the foot steps. There is an occasional running, like now. Someone behind me is running, rushing to get here on time. The running gets closer and closer. Being curious, I turn, seeing a glimpse of dark hair pulled in a bun. I feel a body slam into me, soon I know exactly who it is. Isabelle. She wraps her arms around me, holding me tight. She found me. I hug her back letting tears run down my face. I breathe slowly and shakily, before trying to speak.

“What...what are you doing here?”

She releases me, quickly wiping under her eyes.

“I’m finding you. What do you think? You left everyone, do you have any idea how Jordan and Noah are now?”

“Don’t you guys hate me…”

“Hate you? We were upset, but you are our friend. I dont care what happened. We just want you safe.”

“But… I thought…” I dont even finish my thought before she hugs me again. I hear her whisper slightly. “Just, lets go home.”
