Tony's Pov

My fingers trace over the edge of my coffee cup. I couldn't make my mind up. I liked Brittney, but I liked Isabella more.
I hated even the idea of messing with girls feelings but I'm not only messing with theirs, I'm messing with my own and I hate myself for it.
"Whats going on with you?" Tayler asks leaning on the kitchen side, next to me.
"He's got a love triangle problem" chase teases.
"Bro shut up" I joke.
"Tell her" Bryce smirks.
"Tell who what where now?" I ask.
"Tell Isabella, about your feelings, wherever the fuck you want, and yes now" He says making the boys laugh.
"I can't" I shake my head and look back down at my cup.
"Whyyyyyy" Ondreaz says head-butting the kitchen side, clearly fed up with me being so indecisive. I don't blame him.

"Because I love Brittney" I say, instantly regretting it.
"And you love Izzy..." Anthony says.
"Well love is a strong word ain't it" I shrug.
"But you like Izzy more?"
I nod.
"So how can you love Britt if you don't love Izzy but you like Izzy more?" Tayler asks, looking at me as-if I'm dumb.
After thinking about it I roll my eyes at him.
"STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME SEEM LIKE AN IDIOT" I laugh.
I stand up and head to the backyard to get Izzy.
"We ARENT doing that, you're doing that yourself" Dre says pointing a finger at me as I walk away.

"Izzy, can we talk?" I ask. She nods and gets up, grabbing her stuff.
She heads to the bathroom quickly and gets changed.
"Come with me" I whisper, grabbing my car keys.
"Where are we going?" She asks confused.
"Just come with me" I smile grabbing her hand.

Isabella's Pov
We pull up behind a massive building with a ladder going right up to it.
"Come on" He smirks heading for the ladder.
"WOAH- I'm scared of heights" I shake my head.
"Go first" He smiles, comfortingly.
I climb up the ladder and we eventually get to the very top. I stumble back slightly in fear as I look over the edge.
"It's okay I've got you" he grins grabbing my arm.
We sit down with our legs over the edge.
"Why are we here?" I ask confused.
"This is my secret spot, I normally come here to think when I need to" he says looking out at the breath taking view. We was quite high up and it was getting darker so the street and building lights were all on.

"It's beautiful" I smile.
"You're the only person who knows about this place" he says looking into my eyes.
"Not even Brittney?" I ask, hiding the jealousy in my voice.
"No" he scoffs leaving me confused.
"Can I ask you a question?".
"Of course Izzy" he holds my hand in his.
"Was you with her the whole time? Like since I've been here". I instantly regret what just came out of my mouth.

"No, me and her have liked eachother since kindergarten, kind of, and she recently moved back into town so it was more just talking to her to get to know her again" he says.
"So you're not together, like at all?" My eyes widen as he shakes his head. "We're talking".
I nod and smirk looking back at the view.
"We've gotten you over one of your fears, now we have to get you over the other" he says catching my attention again.
"Which one?" I ask confused.
I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Your fear for falling for somebody".

"How did you-?"
"It's blatantly obvious you're fighting your feelings away" He cuts my question off.
I look down at my wrists, still blue and bruised. He gently holds them in his hand.
"Isabella Im so sorry about what he did to you" He says.
"It's not your fault" I smile to him.
He shakes his head "if I had gotten to you 20 seconds before he wouldn't have done what he did" He starts to tear up.

"Oh my god Tony, please don't blame yourself, I was drunk, and vulnerable and I should have known better than to go upstairs with him" I say placing my hands on either side of his cheeks, wiping a tear away.
"I just can't think of anybody hurting you".
His words were all I needed, all my life.
It just goes to show he was what I've been waiting for.
His phone starts ringing in his pocket. He answers it and groans, just as if it was somebody he didn't want to speak to.

"Hey Britt what's up?" He rolls his eyes.
My smile drops into a frown and I lean back so I'm laying down.

"Yeah"
"Yeah no that's cool I'll be right over" he says.
He hangs up the phone and slips it in his pocket. "Izzy I'm sorry-"
"It's fine, I get it" I shake my head and smile.
We climb back down the ladder and say our goodbyes. I walk home since it wasn't too far from my house.

I felt as if I really needed to cry, but I didn't want to let myself.
I rush to my front door and slam it behind me.

I slowly stumble into the front room, the tears uncontrollably streaming down my face.
"Mum" I say getting her attention.
Her smile drops and she rushes to me.
"Bella what's wro-"
"What would you do if you was falling in love with somebody so quickly it was freaking you out and you physically couldn't stand to see them with someone else" I say sobbing in her arms.
"Who is it?" She asks kissing my forehead.
"Tony"
