It's been an hour since Isabelle got home and she's really tired

"I'm tired When is everyone leaving" she asks laying her head on Corbyn's shoulder

"I can get everyone to leave now. You'd just have to say bye"

"Okay I just want to get to bed"

"I know. Do you want me to sleep over tonight"

"Can you?"

"Yeah it's Friday I'm sure my mom won't mind"

"Then yeah please sleepover I want to spend as much time with you as I can"

"I love you" he kisses her cheek and she blushes

"I love you too"

They stand up and walk over to her mom

"Can everyone leave now i want to sleep"

"Sure say goodbye and then go upstairs to bed I'll take care of everything else"

"Thank you"

She walks around to everyone saying good night and now she has to say goodbye to Jonah and Lilia

"So I'm very tired so I'm going to sleep um thanks for coming I guess"  she turns to walk upstairs but Lilias voice stops her

"Wait can I talk to you"

She turns around and walks back

"Um sure"

"Do you want me to go with you" Corbyn asks

"No I'll be fine thank you"

"Okay I'll call my mom and tell her I'm staying, I'll be in your room"

He walks upstairs and Isabelle walks with Lilia to the corner of the room

"I'm guessing you're going to tell me you hate me and you're glad I got hit. So I'll make it easy for you so you can go and be with Reyna. The pain of my head and leg does not compare to the pain in my heart of what you did to me. You left me when I needed you the most. I waited for your call asking if I was okay. I waited for your visit in the hospital"

"I am so so so sorry I don't know what I was thinking. I have no excuse for what I did and I just want you back being my friend. I was going to visit but I couldn't"

"Why couldn't you"

"Reyna, she told me if I go I'd be betraying her friendship"

"So you just listen to what she says. You didn't go to visit your best friend of 17 years because she told you to."

"I'm sorry. But she's not relevant I want you to be my best friend again. I miss you. I miss talking to you. I miss everything"

"I miss everything too but you've made it clear you don't care about me"

"I do care. I haven't been able to sleep just worrying that you're okay"

"But you've never called me"

"I know and I'm sorry but I knew you couldn't even be on your phone"

"But still I would've enjoyed a voicemail or one text anything"

"Ugh I hate myself I just want you to be my best friend"

"What about Reyna"

"She doesn't matter to me. She's nothing. She's not a friend you're a friend. No you're a best friend"

"I just don't know what to do. I want you to be my friend but I know she'll be apart of it."

"Just for one second pretend she's not in the picture. I'm trying to tell you I'm sorry but you won't listen to me. All I do is cry to Jonah about you. All our good memories. Our sleepovers, when we would talk about everyone, the parties we went to, everything"

"I understand you're sorry but you also have to understand how hard it is to accept the apology. You hurt me. You hurt me a lot"

"I never wanted to hurt you" Lilia starts to cry and it hurts Isabelle even more to see her like that

She pulls Lilia into a hug and rubs her back

"Why did you do that" Lilia asks backing away

"I feel bad even after what you did I can't watch you cry"

"Can I Please have a second chance. I just want my best friend back"

"I'm not saying our friendship will ever be the same but I can try to put it past me"

"So yes"

Isabelle nods and pulls her into a hug

"I want you to be okay" Lilia says into the hug

"I am okay. In fact I feel way more than okay"

Lilia gets out of the hug and wipes her tears

"Well I'll let you go to Corbyn"

"Oh bye"

"Thank you for the second chance"

"Thank you for the apology"
