Don't Make A Sound

♣ 13 ♣

Isabella's POV:

Something was definitely wrong. Adrian was quiet when I got into the car. Was he upset with me?

Did I do something wrong?

What's wrong? Is everything okay? I asked in sign language,

He sighed, not turning his head.

"Nothing, it's just..." He started but trailed off,

He wasn't turning his face at all. Was he hiding his face? Confused, I put my fingers gently under his chin and turned him to face me.

He let me and a deep bruise covered his cheek. There was also a cut surrounded by redness on his lip. Appalled, thoughts of concern flooded my head.

What happened to your face?! Did you and Jason fight again? I questioned,

"Don't worry, I'm okay. I promise but um...yesterday when I went home, I caught my dad cheating on my mom. And so, yeah we fought." He explained,

I remember Adrian telling me he argued with his dad the day he got suspended. Now he's walked in on him with another woman?

I can't believe he would hit you. I signed,

"Yeah well, I was saying things that pretty much hit every nerve so he threw a punch. It doesn't matter. I'm sure they're gonna get a divorce and it'll just be me and my mom."

I'm sorry. I said,

"Don't be, it'll be better this way. My dad needs to go and find someway to change into a real man." He said, before driving out of my driveway.

School went by like a breeze afterwards Angie hung out with me and Adrian again at the store to look for something for the halloween dance.

"What do you think?" She asked, coming out in a super girl costume.

I crinkled my nose and shook my head before holding up a sexy witch costume.

He'll be under your spell. I wrote before showing her,

She laughed and grabbed it before going back to the dressing room. Adrian came up behind me and put his arms around my waist.

"Having fun? Which one she trying now?" He asked,

A witch costume, I like it. I told him,

Even though I'd most likely never wear something like that. I wonder if Adrian is planning on us going to the halloween dance. He hasn't mentioned it, I would like to go.

I let it go as Angie came back out, posing like a model with a big smile.

"I love this one!" She squealed,

I grinned and clapped at the fact that we finally found one. This dance was gonna be eventful with Matt and Angie.

Adrian brought me by his house and I was nervous. I didn't know if this was a good idea considering what he saw yesterday.

His mother could be in her room crying or they could be fighting in the kitchen right now. Or worse, the mistress could be here.

But Adrian said he wanted to watch movies with me in his basement which is apparently like a theater.

He opened the door and we immediately heard shouting. I knew it.

Adrian held me close as we passed his parents in the kitchen. They yelled at each other in frustration and I couldn't help but stare.

They didn't notice us at all as Adrian led me to the basement. Closing the door behind us, he smiled at me as we walked down the stairs.
