The next morning, he was gone. Isabelle opened her eyes to meet his, but they weren’t there. Her heart sank like the titanic, but faster. Her bedroom door was slightly open, and no sign of him was found. She stood up from the fallen fort next to her bed.
Slipped on her slippers, pulled a tank top and pajama pants on and flew down the stairs. Milena was already watching tv, and eating cereal.
“Have you seen Gus?” Isabelle asked with worry in her eyes.
“Uh, no. Did he spend the night?” Milena turned around from the couch to meet Isabelle’s gaze.
“Umm. Yeah, kind of.” Isabelle’s eyes started to fill with tears. She pulled out her phone and dialed his number. After two rings, she was sent to voicemail.
Tears were already streaming down her face, and dropped her phone to the floor.
“Isabelle what’s wrong?” Milena got up to comfort her, but Isabelle’s forehead was against a wall. Her fists were pounding it, and suddenly, pulled her arm all the way back, and punch right through the drywall.
“THAT FUCKING DICK!” She cried. She pounded her head on the wall a couple times, the slid down on her back to the ground. Wrapping her legs to her chest and crying into her legs.
Milena was already sitting next to her with her arm around her.
“What happened?” Milena asked her when Isabelle calmed down a little.
“I slept with him. And now he’s fucking gone.” Isabelle bawled some more.
Follow Milena:
The day after Isabelle’s “incident,” was MIlena’s Grandma’s big party. At least, it was suppose to be. Her grandmother died that morning in her sleep.
That morning Milena and Isabelle went to the hospital to talk to the doctors to find out what had happened to Milena’s grandma. The girls walked in to find Grandma’s doctor.
"Hi Dr. Haper. I'm Milena Laera and this is my friend Isabelle. I’m Suzie’s granddaughter." They held out there hands so the doctor could shake them.
"Hello ladies. Milena I'm sincerely sorry about your loss. Your grandmother was a wonderful women."
Milena started tearing up. "What happened? She was so healthy and happy yesterday?" Tears started running down her cheek.
"Her heart just decided it was time to give up. Your grandmother lived a very long and healthy life." She just stood there in silence. "Tell me if you need anything." Then Dr. Haper walked back behind the counter to talk to a worker.
Milena started crying. Isabelle held her hand for comfort. Isabelle held out a tissue for Milena, then started tearing up.
After crying for 15 minutes the girls decided to go back to the house.
After they got home the girls didn't leave the couch all night. They laid next to each other watching movies. They took it easy that night.
A lot happened and Milena didn't know how to process it. Her grandmother was like her best friend. She was always there for Milena.
Milena knew that they’re going to have to leave California, which means leaving Madison. Madison was the first real boyfriend Milena ever had and now she's going to have to leave him in California.
They decided to take the soonest flight back to Chicago the next day.
