Life Changer

Chapter 4- New Me, more or less

Isabella's POV

I wake up and I was about to trudge downstairs to engulf a huge plate of pancakes. I frowned realizing that mom and my step dad aren't home. I decided to just have a lazy day and get ready at 4 for the party. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. After I jumped on my messy bed and over to my closet to grab my guitar that I haven't used since my dad's passing. I ran my fingers through the chords and a tear fee down my cheek. I wiped it away and sniffled. I miss my dad.

If my dad were here right now he would want me to sing again. Yes I used to sing. I even used to make youtube covers but then stopped and never went back to them. I pulled my guitar down off the rack and took it with me to my bed. I opened the French doors to let sun inside. I went to bed which had a side view to the balcony.

I've had this song in my head for a while. Lets see if I remember the lyrics.

"Guess it's true I'm not good at a one-night stand

But I still need love cause' I'm just a girl

These nights never seem to go to plan

I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?

Cause you're all I need

This ain't love it's clear to me

But darling stay with me

Why am I so emotional?

No it's not a good look, gain some self control and deep down I know this never works

But can you lay with me so it doesn't hurt?...." I sang and sighed deeply and threw my body on my bed.

I heard clapping and I sat up quickly and saw Brad standing out on his balcony shirtless. My eyes widened and I grabbed a pillow and covered my face.

"How long have you been standing there?!?!?" I called out

"Since I heard the verse 'hold my hand'" he chuckled

I stood up with my yes closed and I heard him laugh. I was walking to close the balcony door and on the way I jabbed my toe on the legs of my bed.

"Oh, mierda! Eso maldito duele!!!! Oh que dolor tan feo!!!!!" I yelled in spanish as I fell on the floor holding my toe. I looked at my foot and saw it was red. I looked up and saw brad wasn't there anymore. I shrugged it off and went to close the doors. I can't get privacy around here. I limped to my bed and before I could even hop on the door bell rang.

I rolled my eyes "Agh!!! Why now!! I just jabbed toe!" I whined and limped my way down and saw my toe was throbbing and it was really abnormally red. Well I guess no peep toe heels for tonight.

I got to the door and opened the door. my eyes widened when I saw brad with a serious face.

Brad's POV

She looked at me with those big brown eyes of hers. I looked down at her bare feet and her toe was red and somewhat purple. She had pain in her eyes but her face looked shocked.

"Yes?" she asked

"Are you uhm ok?" I asked as I scratches my neck

She nodded and looked down

"May I uh come in?" why am I even studdering?

"My parents aren't home.." she looked behind her

"Good" I mumbled hoping she didn't hear but she furrows her eyes instead

"Come in" she said with a fake smile

She limped over to the kitchen and I grabbed her wrist. She turned to look at me and I froze.
