The past

Truth-ish

*Isabellas POV*

My eyes fluttered opened to an unknown surroundings. I couldn't move my head with out it hurting

So I laid really still and thought about today's events. Ummm let's see the park, got that, storming off , got that, Travis ....TRAVIS! That little ass!

Oh my gosh! He kidnaped me didn't he? I'm in his layer where the walls are sound proof and no one can hear my screams!!! ...Calm down and breath and look around, does this look like a kidnaping layer?!

I took a look around and I was laying on a couch there was a coffee table next to me and this place look oddly familiar. I suddenly realize where I am I'm at Josh's hous- Josh's house what am I doing here, and where is josh?My questions would soon be answered considering He just walking in the room.

"Hey your finally up" he says setting down a cup of water.

"How long was I out?" I responded

"Couple hours." he shrugged

I nodded and attempted to sit up so I could drink water. But holy crap did it hurt to move! I winced in pain and I guess josh noticed because he tried to help the best he could. When I looked into his eyes there was guilt written all over them, but why it's not his fault.

"Isabella, what exactly happened after you left the park?" he asked with concern etched in his voice. So I stared explaining the entire event from the stop light to the black out. I tried to keep track of his reactions but they just kept getting angrier. After I was done we sat there in silence and then I remembered my questions.

"Josh, what am I doing here?" there was a long pause until he sighed and started talking.

"Well after you blacked out I took you here that's about it... Look Isabella you can't be seen with me any more if they tried this once because they think you know something they will do it again especially if your seen around me more and it's not your problem to worry about, they're mine and I don't want you involved it this okay?"

"Excuse me?!" I asked in disbelief "not my problem?! They came up to be today, assaulted me and almost kidnapped me! You can't say this isn't my problem to worry about Josh!" I started to raise my voice but I didn't care.

"I need you to forget this ever happened okay?" He tried to say calmly.

" Oh yea sure no problem!" I said sarcastically " you know damn well I can't forget about this! i'll be looking over my shoulder forever! What is this even about any way!?" I asked, the curiosity was eating me alive. he sat there for a minute deciphering if he should tell me or not.

" I can't tell you everything, just that I'm in this... business and its hard/ dangerous to get out of okay?"

Obviously that wasn't all of it but I decided not to push it. So instead I just nodded.

"Well I want to help." I said there's no way he's going at this alone and plus i'll never really feel at ease if I don't know what's going on.

"What? Absolutely not." I could see he was trying to keep his cool but the more I kept talking the more it became harder and harder for him. " Yes Josh I'm already invested in this you can't say no, you said it yourself they will try to come after me again no matter what ,if I stay away or not. and your not going though the hard/dangerous mission alone and I won't take no for an answer!" He ran a hand in his soft brown hair thinking hard about what I had just said. "fine. but you do realize what your getting yourself into?"

"No not really, but that's okay when you ready to tell me you'll tell me." I honestly don't know what I'm getting my self into but I'm not going to stand by and watch, plus not knowing anything would bug the crap out of me. He sighed and nodded his head and we sat there is an 'what know' kind of silence when I realized I had to get home.

"Hey I have to get home before my mom starts freaking out." I spoke softly. He handed over his phone to my hand as I plugged in my number.

"Call or text if you need anything alright?" he said in a very monotone voice.

"Alright." I got up and stumbled a bit when I tried to walk again since my head still hurt but I got the hang of it. I walk slowly and carefully over to my house and stepped inside.

"Isabella is that you?"

No shit mom who else?!

"Yea it's me!"

"Would you come upstairs I'm in my room!"

Great! stairs just what i needed, this is going to be hell.

I hobbled up the stairs very slowly and finally made it to the top. whoop whoop! I walked in to see my mother packing a very large suit case.

"Mom what's going on?" I asked in confusion what's on earth is she packing for? ooo are you going on a trip??

"Honey great news I got a promotion and the bank is sending me on a all expense paid trip to check out the other branches in the US!" she practically jumped for joy.

"Mom that's great! for how long?"

She paused for a very long time... this can't be good.

"Three months." she almost whispers

"THREE MONTHS?!?" I yell why so long??and what about me what do I do!

"Honey don't worry it's not that long! I left food money on the table, please no parties and you and have a couple of friends over got it? I can't talk long my flight leaves in an hour."

I stood there in shock. Don't get me wrong I'm happy for my mom she seems really excited, but three months on my own?! what am I suppose to do? She started making her way down stairs and I was just standing in the middle of her room.

"Okay sweetie, food money on the counter, call if you need anything I love you!" my mother spit out the sentence so fast all I heard was 'food money' and hugged me and waved goodbye and shut the door.

Is this even real? I asked myself. I walked over to the t.v and flipped it on.

Hmmm three months all alone what to do what to do? late night marathons...yes recoding only my shows... yes having girls night every weekend... yes and pigging out every day... hell yea!

After me and myself agreed on what to do. I flipped on the fatal finale of Pretty Little Liars and popped some popcorn.

***

By the time it ended I was creeped out and it had gotten dark out side and I was afraid to leave my couch. So I turned on every light and made my way upstairs, changed into my pajamas and laid in my moms bed. I couldn't fall asleep I was too creeped out I felt like I was being watched and that someone would break in! I'd never thought I'd feel unsafe in my own house I need someone's presents here in the house with me. So I called to one person I know who could be here real quick.

***

"Hello? Is every thing okay?" I heard his voice over the phone filled with concern. oops probably should have just texted him.

" Well yes and no ... could you do me a favor?"
