Chapter 7: Ez Has A Crush pt. 2

~Ez's POV~

It had been two days since I had seen Izzy. I didn't know why I felt worried sick over her, but I did. I glanced at Bishop before leaning back in my seat. I pinched the bridge of my nose, deeply breathing. I glanced to Angel when I felt him put his hand on my shoulder.

I look back to Bishop when the question of why Izzy was in San Pedro came up. I felt my blood begin to boil when Coco went off on being hit by her. I felt Angel put pressure on my shoulder, his way of telling me not to push it.

I roll my shoulders and watch Bishop, my mind racing. My mouth and throat felt like they were going dry.

"Who will take the job of watching Isobel Romero," Bishop said, his voice holding a great deal of authority.

"I will," I say, standing up, "I'll take the job of watching Li'l Izzy Romero.".

I felt all eyes on me, but my tone didn't falter. I watched Bishop nod to me, then I glanced to Angel whom nodded as well.

Once the meeting was over I head to the Best Western I knew Izzy was staying at. I felt nervous as hell, but I didn't make a noise as I walked to room 107. I hesitantly knocked, then waited patiently for the door to open.

I glanced down at Izzy when she opened the door. Her eyes looked bloodshot and she looked tired.

"C'mon," she mumbled, shuffling back into the room.

I watched her turn on the lights, then she laid back down on the bed closest to the door. I glanced to Alejo whom was curled up in a ball with his tail wrapped around his feet. I watched Izzy take a drink of Mountain Dew before she sat up.

My heart began to ache for her as I watched her glance at her hands.

Am I falling in love with Alejandro Romero's baby sister?
