Chapter 8 

I woke up the next morning to someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and saw Isaac staring down at me. His eyes were puffy and red like he'd been crying. I was immediatly fully awake and I pulled him in a bear hug. He hugged me back and started crying again. When he finally calmed down he pulled back and I looked him in the eye and asked him what happened. He looked into my eyes and told me said "Mom left." I was shocked when he said that but immedaitly knew why. I shook my head and said "I'm so sorry Isaac. Do you think she'll come back?" He shook his head and said "I dont know!" He started crying again and I pulled him back into a hug. He was still crying when I said "Isaac can I tell you something?" He pulled back and looked at me, tears still rolling down his face. "My dad had an affair with another woman before he died. He told my mom and she left him. After a couple of days though she came back. She told him that he wasnt ready to forgive him yet but she was going to stay for my sake. They took marriage classes and eventually things got better. I overheard your dad yesterday on the phone with the lady he was having an affair with. He was angry because she wanted him to leave you and your mom for her but he wouldnt because he loves you guys a lot. Please just try and forgive him. It will make things easier for everyone." He looked at me shock but by now he had stopped crying. He nodded his head and said "I'll try." We sat there in silence for a few minutes before he spoke up and said "You should get ready if your going to meet your friend." I shook my head and said "No I can stay if you need me." He shook his head then said "No way are you staying home for me! Go have fun but be back by 5 and remember were going to the club at 7." I smiled then got up and headed to the bathroom. When I came out of the bathroom Isaac was still there. He smiled when he saw me and said "Well dont you look fancy." I laughed at his attempt of an American accent and said "Thank you."  

I gave him a quick hug then went downstairs and started making my way to the music studio. I got there with 5 minutes to spare but Kolby was already waiting for me. When he saw me he smiled then walked over to me and said "You look pretty." "Thank you." I told him as we started walking down the street. After a few minutes of silence I finally got tired of it and asked "So where are we going?" He looked at me and smiled. "It's a surprise." I rolled my eyes but kept walking. "So where are you from?" He asked me trying to start a conversation. "Florida." He looked at me with an eyebrow cocked and said "Really?" I looked at him confused and said "Yeah is that so hard to believe?" He shook his head and said "No I just thought that people from there were always really tan." I laughed and said "Well not everybody." While waving my hands at my pale skin. He smiled and said "I can see that." I laughed again and we walked a couple more blocks until we made it to the Big Ben.  

I gasped. "It's so much more beautiful up close!" He smiled at me then said "I know that's why it's my favorite place to go." I smiled and we walked closer. I was still gaping at it when Kolby said "So beautiful." in awe but when I turned around he wasn't looking at Big Ben he was looking at me. I blushed and turned my head before he could see my face. I had never been called beautiful by anyone other than my family. I was still thinking about this when he grabbed my hand and said "Come on I wanna show you something else." I nodded and we started walking away from Big Ben when I realised we were still holding hands. I blushed again and realised that this could be a very good day after all.
