Isabella's POV
The following day, I received a letter, which is from my mother who went back to Mexico, years ago. It read:
Isa,
Your grandpapa is at the hospital. He is sick. And he is looking for you. So could you please go here, for even just two weeks? Mija, I hope to see you in few days.
If I go, Anna will have no place to go and I can't bring her with me because she'll miss school
.
.
.
I have an idea.
"Anna," I called
"Yes mom?"
"I'm going out for a few minutes. Be good okay?"
She nodded then I grabbed my keys and left the house. I drove to Phineas' house.
When I got there, I rang the doorbell and he opened the door.
"Oh hey Isabella," he said, "what are you doing here so late?"
"I just came to ask you something. Listen, mom sent me a letter, and she said that my grandpa was at the hospital, and asked if I could stay at Mexico for two weeks, and I can't bring Anna with me because she'll miss school. So, could take care of Anna while I'm gone?" I asked
"Sure, and maybe Anna could spend some quality time with me." He replied
"Great! See you then."
"When will your flight be?"
"In three days."
"Okay."
I went back to my car and drove home.
When I reached my destination, I opened the door and saw Anna watching TV.
"Still not ready for bed, sweetie?" I said
"Mom where'd you go?" She asked
"Um, I... I went to daddy's place." I replied
"What did you do there?" She asked
"I asked if he could watch you for two weeks."
"Why not just our neighbors?"
"Do you remember the last time I left you there? You were lost in the mall in the first three hours."
"Oh yeah."
"And also, daddy wants to spend quality time with you to, you know, know you better." I said
"He wants to know me better, but I do not want to know him." She said harshly
"Oh you don't need to, all his personalities are in you." I said, "Now come on, you need to sleep."
Three days later...
"Be good to daddy okay, sweetie?" I said
"Okay mom." She replied in a kind of irritated tone
"I'll be back in two weeks, and I want to see you two getting along." I said with a smile
"We'll see." She replied then hugged me
"Bye sweetie, be good at school okay?" I asked after releasing her from the hug.
"Bye Phin," I said as I hugged Phineas tight, "I'll miss you."
He smiled then replied, "I'll miss you too, very much."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Anna roll her eyes, but I decided to ignore it.
I released him from the hug and breathed heavily.
"Well, I guess I gotta go now. Anna be good to daddy and Phin, thanks for agreeing to take care of Anna." I said then went to my designated place.
Phineas' POV
When Isabella rode her plane, Anna's smile faded and turned around.
"You tired Anna?" I asked
"Not really." She replied
"So what do you wanna do?" I asked
"Try to get away from you." She muttered then walked to the car.
She doesn't love me, and that's for sure.
I drove home and showed her the room she'll be staying in.
"Here it is Anna. I'm sorry if this is all pink, I thought you would like pink just like your mom and I designed this way before I met you, so, we're just going to replace this tomorrow." I said
The room consisted a very large bed with point pillows and pink covers. The windows were covered by pink curtains and everything else in the room was pink.
"Wow, thanks." She said then smiled
"It's no problem," I replied, "now, if you need me, I'll be in the next room."
I left the room with a smile on my face. I now know how to make her happy.
