Isabelle did this almost everyday and tried to hide it from everyone. She did her best. She had so much trouble sleeping which became staying up all night. She hasn't been eating very much at all, either. She's been very distant with everyone, as well.
She used makeup to cover it up. She wore long sleeves and jeans everyday. No one noticed anything wrong except for Peter. He hasn't said anything to the Avengers or Isabelle. But he couldn't keep it inside no more.
"Guys." Peter spoke with worry in his voice and everyone around the table for breakfast looked up at Peter very confused. Peter is a bit shy with the Avengers. And he doesn't talk much. Especially cuz he worries about Isabelle.
"H-have you noticed Belle acting... different? She's been acting a certain way s-since a few weeks ago." Peter said and everyone shot him a confused look.
"What do you mean, kid?" Steve asked the younger boy.
As Peter was about to speak, Isabelle walked into the room. Isabelle stopped in her tracks as she noticed every single eye laid on her. "Hi"
She walked over to the fridge and got out the orange juice. As she grabbed a cup and poured it inside the cup, she could feel the stares. It was very awkward and uncomfortable. She started reading their minds but it was all blank. Except for Peters. She turned around and drank her juice staring at Peter. He's catching on Isabelle thought.
"Bye" Isabelle said as she grabbed her lunch and put it in her backpack. She then left the kitchen and everyone looked at Peter.
"Alright, that was all your fault. You made her feel awkward" Peter said and a few ppl around the table scoffed.
"Well, you mentioned it. Now we're observing" Sam said and continued eating breakfast.
As for Isabelle, she walked out the avengers facility not even waiting for someone to take her. She just walked to school and then stopped at a bus stop. Took the bus to a train station and went to school from there.
Alright, act tough. You're strong. Isabelle thought in her mind.
It was sometimes hard for Isabelle to act tonight. Especially when there are now more people in the school who bully her.
She was walking to class and a girl pushed her towards the locker. "Loser"
Isabelle has seen people say things online as well. "She's the worst" "Why haven't they locker her up yet?" "Tbh, she's kinda ugly. And she's so emotional sometimes"
School. School. School. So boring. Pointless. It went by incredibly slow. Peter told Ned and MJ about Isabelle and they decided to keep their distance to watch their friend.
"Idk. Looks the same sassy, sarcastic, rude girl to me." MJ said. "She's hiding behind a mask" Peter said.
"What if aliens adducted the real Belle and replaced her with this one" Ned said and the two looked at him like he was crazy. "Anything is possible. We live in a world where superheroes exist and aliens come through a worm hole up in the sky." Ned said.
"MJ you are the most observant one here, how can't you tell. Anything I didn't tell you that I noticed?" Peter asked.
"She only wears long sleeve shirts or keeps her sweater on. And she only wears jeans." MJ said and Peter was hit with realization.
"Wait- doesn't that mean-" Ned stopped mid sentence and the three looked at each other in shock. "No. She's not the type of person to do that. She's a strong person" MJ said.
"She's been through a lot and more recently." Ned said.
Peter watched the clock. Their last class.
Tick..... tick.....tick
Peter stood up a second before the bell rang. "I'll see you guys tm and tell you anything."
Isabelle walked through the halls. Passing her locker. To the front door. And outside she was. She walked and Peter caught up with her. "Belle, Happy is picking us up today. And he's over there" Peter said pointing to a car across the street.
"No- I'm fine walking." Isabelle said about to walk but Peter grabbed her wrists and she flinched. He pulled her to the car and he two got in.
"Hey happy" Peter said but the older man ignored him. Isabelle sat rlly close to the door. "So Isabelle. How was your day" Peter asked.
"Ok"
Ok?! Peter thought.
"How you doing in school?" "Ok" Was all that came out from her mouth.
"Did you eat your lunch?" Peter asked knowing hat Isabelle threw it away and didn't even bother to look in the bag.
"Yea." She lied.
Lying? Peter thought.
Peter watched Isabelle the whole ride. Once the car made a stop at the avengers facility, she immediately opened the door and walked towards the door.
"Thanks Happy" Peter said as he got out the car. He followed Isabelle to her room. She couldn't go in tho. "Friday, can you open Isabelle's room"
"I'm sorry master Parker, but she said to open to no one at all. Perhaps try knocking on her door" Friday said.
Peter sighed and then knocked. "Who is it?" Isabelle asked. "It's Peter"
"What do you need?" Isabelle asked.
"Can I come in?" "No. Plz leave me alone" Isabelle said.
"I know somethings wrong with u. And I think I know what it is" Peter said and Isabelle shut her eyes. "I'm an idiot" Isabelle told herself.
"No I'm fine! Plz just leave me alone" Isabelle said.
Peter sighed. "Fine"
Night came and what do you know? Isabelle stayed up almost all night!
The next day, Isabelle got ready for the day. It was a Saturday. She basically walked around the city and watched tv when she was inside.
Luckily for Isabelle, Tony called everyone in for a mission. But she wasn't gonna go.
"You sure you don't want to come help? You can take out all emotions in these bad guys?" Wanda said and Isabelle shook her head. "No. I think I'm fine here." Isabelle replied.
"Alright. We'll get back soon" Wanda said and walked out. Everyone had left and Isabelle was left alone, or so she thought.
- "But I want to go and help!" Peter whined as he followed Tony around. "No you stay here. Stay in your room. Go in my lab. Just don't come." Tony said.
"He acres for you Peter" Steve said as he walked by. "Steve!" Tony yelled.
"We'll be back. Stay here and have fun" Tony said and Peter stood there alone in the room as his mentor walked out.
"Never get to have any fun" Peter says and walked to his room. - Isabelle took off her jacket and sat on her bed. "I hate my life"
After a couple of minutes of staring into nothing, an idea popped into her head. She grabbed paper and a pen. She started writing a note to all of the avenger.
She then ran to the bathroom, note in hand. She opened the mirror and took out some pills. Once she closed her mirror again, she ran to the kitchen and placed the note down.
"Alright" Isabelle said and started trying to open up the pills. "Good bye pain"
