Isabelle's POV

I stare at the road outside of Justin's window and watch the car pass by. It seems like this is my every morning routine for the past days.

Mom has left to spend christmas with our relatives, while I stayed here with Justin and Ryan. I wasn't and still isn't in the mood for having fun and leave Ryan on his own.

I know everything happens for a reason, but I still can't understand the reason behind Rachel's death. Her death only caused pain.

Justin comes in a few minutes "I made waffles" Justin says with a grin, I look at him and smile before getting up. He wraps an arm around my shoulder and I lean in to him. He's the best thing that has ever happened in my life.

We sit on the table, and seconds later Ryan joins. It's been a week since Rachel's death, and yes I'm moving on but as for Ryan, all he's been doing is getting worse.

"Good morning Ryan" I smile warmly, he tries to give me a smile back but fails miserably. Justin coughs awkwardly and gives us our plates and we start eating in silence.

Justin decides to cut this silence "hey guys.. what are we doing today?" He asks, I add more chocolate cream to my waffle and look at him "what is today?".

"New year's eve" Justin answers enthusiastically, and I frown. His best friend is literally mourning for Rachel's death and he's thinking about the New year?.

"What do you expect us to do? Throw up a party?" Ryan snaps and I widen my eyes surprised. Justin looks taken back "I didn't mean it like that" Justin whispers.

"Then like what?" I ask whisper.

"I thought about going up on the roof and order pizza.. watch the fireworks" he says and my features relax, I nod "we have to do that" I say, and Justin smiles.

Ryan sighs "Justin, I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you". I feel so bad for Ryan, he's constantly apologizing for things he can't control. For fucks sake, we all know he's going through a lot.

"It's alright Ry" Justin replies and I take my hand in his and lean in to him. I love him.

And yes, love. Right, we've been dating for two weeks and a half but I've known him for so long, and I've liked him for so long. My feelings only got stronger towards him.

We were like this before dating, we were too close. So yes, it ain't early to say I love him. Because I really do. He helped me through a lot and I can't thank him enough. He stood by my side when no one else did.

Ryan suddenly gets up "I'll try to get some sleep, so excuse me" he says hurriedly and leaves. I look at Justin who is already looking at me "he's getting worse" he whispers, "I notice".

"I just.. I wish I can help him. He ain't letting me help him" Justin whispers, I sigh "He'll get used to it eventually and adapt" I whisper.

After we finish eating, we clean the table together, and then sit down on the couch cuddling next to each other.

And this is how we spent the day, cuddled up next to each other and talking about our future.

Ryan suddenly appears rubbing his eyes, he looks at us and yawns "what time is it?" He asks, I look at my phone "9" I reply.

He nods and walks up to the kitchen to get some water, "come on Ryan, let's go up the roof and order pizza" I say excitedly, he just nods.

I don't blame him really. He's lost a very close friend.

We get up and order pizza before going up the roof. We all sit on the edge eating the pizza. We start talking small talks but I don't know how it started but we ended up talking about Rachel.

And Ryan's eyes light up as he remembers her, and I smile.

"You know.. she told me to try sky diving, I've never agreed because I'm scared. But I think I might do it now.. you know just for her" Ryan says taking a bite from his pizza.

I smile widely "we'll definitely join you" I say, and Justin pulls me to his side, and I melt in his arms.

"I just.. I really miss her you know" he sighs, I nod "we all miss her Ryan" I reply, he sighs and shakes his head.

"Don't worry Ry, we're here for you" I smile and he smiles back genuinely for the first time in a week. "I think I'll be OK" he suddenly says and plays with his fingers.

"Isabelle had a worse life than me, and she overcome it. If she did it, then I can do it" Ryan says with a smile of hope drawn on his lips and looks at both me and Justin. We give him a smile and nod.

I start thinking about my life, and I realize how important friends are, and how much I need them. Without both of these dorks, I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't be Isabelle.

We all need each other, listen to each other, and simply be there for each other.

Suddenly we see something light up in the sky, and I smile so wide when I see the fireworks sparkle in the sky.

My eyes widen when more firework start lighting up the sky "so beautiful!" I exclaim. Wow. This is just so astonishing!

I look at Justin, and he smiles widely as me, he leans in and gives me a passionate kiss "Happy new year Isabelle" he whispers when we pull away, "Happy new year Justin" I smile widely. This will be a good year.

We hear someone coughs, and we turn our heads to Ryan "Literally, you guys just forgot I exist at this moment" he says pretty much mad, I chuckle "sorry Ry" we apologize quickly.

Both of us stand up, and I give him a long hug pulling him close "I'll never forget you, don't worry" I chuckle, he rolls his eyes "you just did" he answers and I slap his arm playfully.

Justin gives Ryan a hug and they whisper quietly things to each other. Justin then comes back to my side and pulls me closer to him "you know Isabelle.." Justin starts and I look at him waiting for him to complete.

"I love you, I really do" he whispers making my heart beat faster. Shit. He said it. He loves me.

He feels the same way.

"You know.. I love you too Jay" I say and he leans in to kiss my temple.

"I don't want to be a third wheel please" Suddenly Ryan says behind us and we laugh.

And now I remember all the times when Justin used to say: You'll be OK.

And I believe it now. At the end of the day we'll be OK.

We're here for each other, we mend each other.

The End.
