Love Costs

•Sorry Not Sorry•

Haileys pov
I was excited to go to school this week, science class, get a project. All I wanted to do was see Isaac. It was like now that I admitted that I liked him, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I didn't want to be just his friend, I wanted to be his.

Throughout the week we talked just like we did every other week but they meant more to me. It was Thursday, so it had been less than a week since I've actually admitted to liking him.

I met up with Rory and Jackson before class and Jackson kept teasing me about it.

The first few periods were a blur. Walking through the hallway I didn't see Isaac. I saw a few of his friends but not him. All of a sudden I was worried about him too. If Isaac didn't do anything soon, I knew I would go crazy.

"Hey where were you this morning" I asked Isaac as we left science "around. Why" "oh I don't know I just didn't see you" "I was late but I was here by second period" "oh okay" "why" "nothing just asking" "okay" he said slowly "well I have a good class I'll see you later" I said before I turned to go to the gym.

After class Rory and I walked back to our lockers to get our books.
"There's Isaac" she said "he's talking to Andrea" "his ex" she asked "yea, he said they broke up but why would they be talking" "I bet it's nothing" "yea it's nothing or they're getting back together and you were wrong and he doesn't like me back" "okay calm down. I doubt they're getting back together. Just be patient Hailey" "I can't wait anymore" "you've only been waiting for a week" "it feels like forever" I groaned as she laughed before we walked to class.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I told her "Isaac don't play dumb with me. Are you and that Hailey girl dating" "no" "everyone already knows her boyfriend broke the trophy case because you kept hitting on her" "I wasn't hitting on her, he was just jealous" "well now they broke up so what is she trying to be your girlfriend" "Andrea what the fuck does it matter to you, Hailey and I are not dating,  we're friends. Besides we're not dating either so give it up" "do you like her" "leave me alone" "well if you don't why can't we just get back together" "it had nothing to do with her. I don't want to be with you. I know you go around being a whore, I don't like how childish how are, and honestly you're so fucking annoying" "don't call me a whore" "then don't be one. At least five of the guys you've slept with have told me, just cause I didn't say anything to you it doesn't mean I didn't know" "I'm sorry okay" "I don't care Andrea. Can you leave me the fuck alone about Hailey" I said leaving.

"Isaac is that you" dad said as I walked in "yes sir" "come for a second" "yes" "tomorrow afterschool I need you to be home early" "why" "I have a meeting that I would like you to be at. In fact I would like you Ricky and Leo there" "with who" "Roberto Giuliani" "at his home or here" "his home. You three will come here and then we will leave" "what time" "be here at 320" "yes sir" "good" he said before I went upstairs.

*the next day*

"So we're leaving at 3" I told Ricky and Leo "just us" Ricky asked "yea. He's not even sure what it's about but he doesn't want anyone to start anything if we don't need to" "okay" he said.

"So are you coming to the game tonight" Hailey asked "I'm not sure" "everything okay" "yea I think so, I just have something to take care of with my dad afterschool. If it ends early I'll swing by" "oh I'm not forcing you to come if you don't want to, I was just asking" "no I know. If I have time I want to come" "okay then" She said smiling at me as I gave her a small smile.

"Mom, is dad still here" I asked as me Ricky and Leo went inside "yea, upstairs. He was waiting for you all to get here" "okay" I said before going upstairs to get him.

It was us three, dad, and a few of the other people that worked for him.

The butler opened the door and we went into the living room before he went into the kitchen.
"Sir, Mr. Castellano is here" we heard him say before he came out.
"Welcome, Simon" he said sitting down "Roberto, you know I don't usually make house calls so what is it" "so as you know our shipment was busted last month" he said "yes" "we lost quite a few guys so I called you here to discuss taking some of your guys on my payroll since much of the profit goes to you" "how many are you talking" "enough to run a shipment on their own" "you want that many men, you know that's not possible" "I suggest you make it possible if you want your cut" "if I want my cut, your whole operation is my cut. Watch yourself Mr. Giuliani" "or what. I can run my own shipments, my own business" he said "oh you think so" dad asked sternly as I noticed one of the guys reach for the gun in his pants and pull it on my father, but I already had him marked.
"I wouldn't" I said as he turned to me. I held my own gun at my side and pointed it towards him.
"Listen, how about we come to an agreement" Giuliani said holding his hand up to his man to stop him "I'm listening" dad said "four men, full payroll" "I can give you four men, part time. And don't think this little challenge you pulled will be forgotten just yet" "okay then" "now we will discuss more when I have the men for you" he said standing up as we followed behind him.
Before we left he stopped to stand in front of the man that had pulled the gun, looking him up and down before shooting him in the foot, as he fell to ground trying to hold in his screams. Everyone was so used to this by now that the only people that jumped were the butler and the maid.
"Take that as a warning Giuliani, try something like that again and one of these bullets might be for you" "yes sir. Carlo, show these gentleman out" he said to the butler then we left.
It wasn't out of character for dad to do something like that. He didn't take disrespect very well and most of the time it ended in someone getting shot or hit so I wasn't surprised.
By the time we got home it was 558 so if we left now we would make it by the end of halftime.
"I'm gonna go to the game, do you guys want to come" I asked Ricky and Leo "yea sure, isn't everyone there now anyways" "yea".

The first half of the game I found myself looking for Isaac, hoping that he could make it in time. I saw Jessie and Andrea and a few more of them but that was it, no Isaac.
"You okay" Rory asked me in between cheers "yea I uh was just looking for Isaac" "is he supposed to be coming" "he had something to do but he said he'll try to make it" "oh. I'm sure he's gonna make it then" "yea" I said before we went into the next cheer for the game.
It was halftime and I was focused enough on the cheers to forget about Isaac for a few minutes. After a few tumbling passes and stunts I finally saw him. He Ricky and Leo walked up the bleachers, joining the rest of them and sitting down. When he made eye contact with me, I couldn't help but smile and I could see his cute giggle as he noticed.

As the game started back up again Rory nudged me before taking her position so we could start the next cheer. We were winning and the crowd was cheering but all I could focus on was Isaac. The way he moved, the way he spoke, the clothes he was wearing, everything.

"See you Monday" Rory said as she finished getting dressed and left since she had a date. I just finished getting dressed in my shorts and jacket before going to the mirror to brush my light brown hair and put it in a messy bun. I grabbed my bag and phone and left the locker room.

"Oh hey" "hey Kyle. Uh you played good tonight" "yea thanks. Are you doing anything right now" "I have to get home" I said quickly "do you want to grab something" "I don't. Good job again" I said turning to leave.

"Isaac" I said as he Ricky and Leo walked back to his car "give me a second" he said, giving them the keys as they continued to the car.

"So you made it" "yea we finished early" "are you okay" "yea we just talked something out. Are you going home" "yea, I'm hungry" "I'll meet you there after I drop them off" "for what" "we're gonna get a burger" "we are" I said in shock "yea so don't eat anything" "okay sure" "okay I'll see you in a little bit".

"Hey how was the game" mom asked as I passed her, Derrick, and the kids in the living room "it was good, they won. I'm gonna shower real quick" "wait come back" mom said when I almost halfway up the stairs "yes mom" "where are you going" "uh actually Isaac is coming to pick me up to grab a burger" "grab a burger, that's all" "yes can I go shower please" "yes" she said before I booked it upstairs. I took the fastest shower I could before I put on some light blue jeans and a blue cropped jacket. I went back downstairs and waited with everyone before Isaac texted that he was outside.
"I'll see you guys later" I said grabbing my house keys, pulling on my shoes, and leaving.

"Hey" I said getting in the car "hey" "so how was your thing, everything alright" "yea it's uh sort of dealt with, it went alright" "did you have to shoot someone" "no I didn't. My dad did though" "what really, I was kidding" "I'm not".

We went to the burger place, sitting this time and talked. He was so carefree when it was just me and him and it only made me like him more. We were at the restaurant until 11 before we decided to go home.

"So what was this" I asked when we got in the car "what was what" "us getting food. Are we just hanging out or was it like a date" I asked, knowing I was gonna regret this "it depends" "on" "on how you feel about me" "on how I feel about you" I asked sounding as uninterested as ever "yea" "oh" I said and I knew he was waiting for me to say more but he didn't push it. I couldn't say anything if I was so unsure if he liked me back.

"Thank you Isaac I was really hungry" "yea, me too" "I guess I'll see you Monday then" "yea see you then" he said as I reached for the door.

"Hailey" he said as I stopped, turning back to him before he grabbed my face kissing me.

"Isaac" I said when he let go "I'm sorry" he said blankly "you don't sound sorry" "I'm not" "well good" I said looking into his grey eyes which were now not so intimidating.

"Goodnight Hailey" "goodnight Isaac" I said actually getting out this time and going inside. Everyone was in their own rooms I didn't have to answer any questions about why this smile was plastered on my face. The kiss was better than I could've imagined and all I wanted to do was kiss him again.
