Award Winning and Proud

~2 years Later~

Isabella's P.O.V

I looked myself in the mirror one last time and adjusted my dress. Today was the day the day I was invited to the Authors award show. My book was nominated, I couldn't be happier. 

You must be thinking I will take Wes with me, well nope. "Love, your ready?" Tom asks peaking through the door. There answered your question.

I now lived in my mansion with Gabby and Evelyn and Tom was here to pick me up so we can go to the award together. "Yup, let's go" I said as we walked outside to his car.

Fumbling my fingers nervously. "You'll be fine, love your books are amazing" Tom says. Tom was the one who encouraged me in writing. He was the first to read my books and couldn't stop talking about it to his friends.

I shot him a quick smile as we were walking hand in hand. We reached the venue and gave our car in valet. We walked inside the hall Tom adjusted his suit. I hands were sweating. Tom gives me reassuring smile. I nervously smiled back. 

We walked in the hall and I greeted the other authors as well as Tom. He was much more relaxed and confident than I was.

Once everyone was settle down. The anchor started to speak. Few of the authors gave there speeches and everyone clapped. Now it was time for the awards. One by one the awards were given to the authors.

"And the next award was for the autobiography, she is one of the youngest author to be nominated. The awards wins by Isabella Scott, for the her book 'The Journey to Light'. The lady announces with a smile.

I sighed with smile. Everyone claps getting up from there seat. I hugged Tom. "Go out there!" Tom says grinning. I nodded and walked towards the stage.

The lady hands me my prize. I took a deep breathe and and stood infront of the mic. I breathed out. As everyone's attention was me and Tom was giving me a smile. 

"I am honored and happy to be standing here and accepting this award. My 14-15 year old self would've never thought that I would be standing here accepting this award infront of the authors I grew up reading" I continued my speech. 

"And thank you so much for my Ray of Hope to coming out here with me" I said referring to Tom. "Honestly if it were for him I wouldn't be standing here" I said as one or two tears slips down my cheek I hold it back my biting my inner lip. I could see few them crying as well, and getting a bit emotional. 

"I almost gave up on my life when, he walked in and guided me through the darkness, I would like to sincerely thank you for that you have done to make me feel at home." I said with a smile. 'I am proud of you' he mouthed with a smile. I thanked Sophia as well Catherine Wes Eve Gabby Austin Connor "And thanks to my mom and grandpa and grandma, it just bumps me out that they aren't present her physically, but they definitely  are watching down to me I just hope, that I made them, Proud" I said as I ended my speech.

They all stood up and gave a big round of applause as I walked back to my seat shaking hands on the way with the others.

"You were AMAZING!" Tom says as we were in the car driving back. "Thanks!" I replied. "And Thanks" I said again. "What is the second thanks for?" He asks. "For being my Ray of Hope" I replied. He smiles and continues to drive.

"Come on now, this causes for a celebration" He says. "How should we celebrate?" He asks. "By going to a bar" I replied jokingly. "BElls!" He shouts jokingly. I just laughed.

Something's never changed, and I NEVER want them to change.
