Chapter Twenty-Seven: Burning In Hell

Isabella pov

It has been a couple of days since the incident and now I am finally back home. Sabrina begged me to stay with them but I just did not want to bother and decided to stay with Carl Daniel Nicole and Aubrey. Those past days I got really close to Ivy and Isaiah, especially Isaiah, he even texted me saying he is gonna come by later and might stay with us since he's gonna take a day off tomorrow. Carl and I well I don't know I feel like we are official but we haven't really talked about it since the hospital. Him saying I love you must have made it official but I don't know I don't want to rush things.

Right now we are all sitting in the living room eating and drinking. I wasn't really talking they were all doing the talking. I am really happy I healed fast, I am okay with my back but on the inside, I feel so broken, I have always wanted to be a mom and now knowing I had a chance and ruined it, it is really getting me. "you okay?" Carl asks, he puts his shoulder around me and cuddles me, I nod my head and sight, resting my head on his chest "you sure?" he asks again "yeah just tired" I say as the doorbell rings and Aubrey goes to open it. Seconds after Isaiah walks in with Aubrey "hey guys" he says and everyone says hey back as he sits on the couch in front of me "how are you feeling?" he asks me and I give him a fake smile and nod my head "better" I say and he nods his head and looks at Nicole who's on her phone texting. She has been going through a tough time with her parents, they won't stop blackmailing her, it is getting pretty bad.

"what do you guys wanna eat?" Daniel asks and everyone cheers on Pizza "what about you?" Isaiah asks and I shake my head "I am actually about to go to bed but are you staying here?" I ask him getting up and he sights "oh no I leave in an hour" he says and I frown "I thought you were gonna stay" I say and he shakes his head "I promised my friends I would go out with them tonight but maybe next time" he says and I nod my head slowly, I walk up to him and give him a hug "have fun and don't let the paparazzi catch you" I say and he chuckles, Isaiah has paparazzi following him everywhere apparently since his company is doing so well. I walk in my room and a couple seconds after Carl walks In "heading to bed?" I ask and he sights "I just wanna cuddle you," he says and lays down beside me, scooping me in his big arms. "what are we, Carl?" I ask and hear him sight "what do you wanna be? I don't want to rush into things" he says and kisses my forehead "I want to be with you" I say and he looks down at me and smiles "yeah?" he asks and I nod my head and lean in to kiss him, "I love you" he says as I pull back and I smile "I love you too" I say and he laughs "god that sounds so great" he says and it gets quiet.

"do you think what he or she could have been like?" I ask him and hear him sight "everyday babe every day," he says and cuddles me closer to him. "I wonder if she or he would have looked beautiful like you" he whispers and I feel my heart break all over again "I am sorry" I say as I start to cry again "hey come on don't cry everything is okay" he says and I shake my head and sit up "Carl you don't need to be strong in front of me" I say and he looks away, I lean in and give him a kiss on the cheek " we will get through this together" I say and he hugs me and nods. "what happened to Angela?" I ask Carl, his face changes to anger "I don't know but I hope she's burning in hell" he says and I sight and hug him tighter.
