"Hello Giovanni come in" Anna said opening the door "hi is Isaac here" "he's in his room, has been all day" "yea he's taking this breakup pretty bad" "he is. Hailey was good for him I'm just sorry it ended so soon and under the circumstances it did" "yea well I'm going to go up" "okay" she said as I started upstairs.

"Come in" he said when I knocked "hey" "hey" "how are you holding up" "fine" "really" "yup" "you know we can tell when you're angry, yesterday that was not you" "well maybe it should be" "meaning" "I spend all this time worrying about morals and shit and what does it get me. Kidnapped, shot, injured, blackmailed" "alone you mean" "fuck alone. It's just that nothing is working out for me" "well I know you and I know you don't mean that. You're the best of us for a reason Isaac people respect you. This thing with Hailey will work out. If you say you didn't do it I'm gonna find out who did" I said and he nodded.
"That shit yesterday, I'm sorry" he said "you don't have to apologize" "no I do, I was an ass to you" "don't worry about it just thanks for not shooting me" I said as he laughed a little.

"Well I just came to make sure you were okay and I'm pretty sure your mom wants you to socialize before she thinks you've killed yourself" I said "yea I will, thanks" "I'll see you tomorrow then" "yea".

Sydney's pov
"I have to get to work early can one of you drop him off at daycare" I asked mom and dad as I pulled my hair into a bun "I can take him" mom said "no" Jack said from the stairs "what Jack" I asked bending down to put on his shoes "no no no" "buddy please I really have to get to work I can't be late again" "no" "Jack" "no" "what if uncle Isaac takes you is that fine" "yay" he said smiling as I pulled out my phone.

"Isaac are you at school yet" "no I'm getting in my car" "do you think you could come get Jack. I can't be late for work" "yea I'll swing by" "you're the best thank you" I said hanging up.

"So he doesn't want me to take him" mom said "mom come on you can't hold it against him, he doesn't know you" "who's fault is that" "yours. You wanted nothing to do with me" "well now that he's here you could teach him to like his grandparents" "I can't force him to like you he's four" "so you're going to let this criminal be his father instead" "Isaacs been here his entire life he knows him and trusts him just give it time" "how much time it's been weeks" "I don't know mom".

10 minutes later Isaac knocked on the door.
"Uncle Isaac" Jack shouted running towards him as he picked him up "hey buddy ready for school" "yea" "here's his backpack his lunch is inside and his drink is on the side" I said handing it to Isaac "okay" "and if it's Ms. Plank there remind her he is allergic to strawberries and peanuts she conveniently never remembers and usually gives it to him at snack time and don't forget-" "Syd I know what he needs stop worrying and get to work" "yea mom stop worrying" Jack said as he and Isaac smiled "okay okay. Bye love you both. Have a good day at school both of you and Isaac I hope you're feeling better we'll talk later. Bye mom dad" "yes bye" they said before I walked out, Isaac and Jack behind me.

Haileys pov
"Hey Hailey" Kyle said "hi" "are you okay" "I'm fine I'd just like everyone to stop talking about it" "yea, I'm sorry he did that" "me too" "do you maybe want to do something after school" "Kyle I didn't break up with you because I wanted to be with Isaac I did it because I couldn't be with you and I don't think this is going to change that" "I know I treated you horribly but I never meant to hurt you. We can just go out and talk and have fun like we used to I won't make you rush into anything but I really miss you and I miss us" "Kyle I don't know" "please Hailey. I've always cared about you I was doing all the wrong things to show it but I won't do that this time" "uh we can grab some food" "thank you" "yea we're just going out though" "yea of course. See you after school" he said as I gave him a small smile and he left.

"Hey" Rory said catching up to me "hey" "so I haven't seen him yet but are you sure you want me to give this back" she said holding up the box with the bracelet in it "yes Rory. Give to Gio or Ricky if you have to, I'm moving on" "wait what does that mean" "it means I'm going out with someone" "who" "uh Kyle" "Kyle are you serious" "yes. He actually cares about me and isn't just using me" "Hailey you were miserable with him" "I wasn't miserable" "you were allowed to have two friends, me and Jackson and I said allowed for a reason" "well he knows I didn't like that now and he said he won't do it" "he said that last time before he tried to get Isaac expelled remember that" "Rory he's actually owning up to his mistakes, unlike Isaac. He hasn't even apologized for it" "maybe it's because he didn't make a mistake to own up to" "or it's because he never cared and never says sorry because he's a jackass who only cares about power and money" "you don't mean that" "so what if I do and you know what Rory since you're playing messenger you can tell him I'm over him" "okay" she said as we walked in silence.

Rorys pov
Since football was over we did cheer less and mostly had free periods. After their science class, Hailey went home and I knew Isaac had class somewhere near the gym so I waited there for him.
"I'll catch up with you" he said to Gio walking with him.

"Hey" I said to him "hey" "here" "she didn't take it" he asked "no she didn't. She said she's moving on" "what does that mean" "she's going out. With Kyle" I said and he looked the most disappointed I've ever seen him but "okay" was all he said then he took the box and walked off.

I knew she wasn't over him at all but she was hurt and she really believed he did this.

Haileys pov
"Hi" I said when I met Kyle for food "hey. New car huh" "yea Derrick and my mom got it for my birthday" "well I remember you saying you wanted it so I'm happy for you" "yea thanks" "I just want to be clear with you, I still like you a lot and I've missed you. I want this to be a date and I want us to go back to how we were" "well how we were wasn't ideal Kyle" "I know, and I won't be that way. If you take me back I'll trust you and I'll be less overbearing. You just have to know that I only ever cared about you and I've never tried to hurt you" "you really do have to change this time and our relationship has to be honest" "I will" "then maybe we'll try it out" "thank you Hailey" "yea".
