Love Costs

Haileys pov
I left early on Tuesday since Isaac wasn't at school anyways and I had finished everything.
While I was sitting on the bed on my phone and watching tv the door open. Isaac walked in sitting on the edge of the bed with his back facing me. I sat up behind him as he continued to stay silent and I just felt how tense he was.

"Do you love me" he asked finally "yes" "would you still love me if I killed someone" "Isaac did you kill someone" "would you" he asked ignoring my question "yes of course. Did you" "no" "are you thinking about it" "I don't know" "is it Harley" "yea" "babe you don't have to kill him" "I don't have any other solution. I have to protect you no matter what. I can't lose you Hailey" "and you can't lose yourself either" "if he comes after you and I can't get to you in time what will happen" "can we not think about that" "I haven't thought about anything else since" "lay down with me" I asked and he nodded. He laid in between my legs with his head on my stomach.

"Can I ask why Harley hates you so much" "it's more of a family thing" "okay" "our grandfathers used to be best friends. His grandfather was going to become the Don before my grandfather killed him, took his power and became the Don himself. Ever since then it's been a problem" "oh" "I just don't want whatever anger he has towards me to be taken out on you" "I'll be okay just relax please you feel so tense" "I guess".

He laid there as I watched tv and eventually he drifted off to sleep on me. He was so cute when he slept and I didn't want him to leave. I loved him, I knew that much. If I was going to be okay was kind of a different story. He was right, if he couldn't get to me fast enough there's not anything that I could do and Isaac couldn't be everywhere.

"Hello" I said answering the phone "hey" Rory said "what's up" "I'm down the street, you're home right" "uh yea I am" "okay good see you in a minute" she said hanging up.

I looked down at Isaac who was still really fast asleep and not waking up anytime soon, I guess he must've been really tired.

About three minutes later Rory opened the door slowly.

"Oh hey sorry I didn't know he was here" she said "it's fine and he's sleep anyways" "is he okay" "I don't know really, stressed I guess" "damn" "well how was your family dinner" "really good actually. They asked a lot of questions but it wasn't as intimidating as I thought it was gonna be" "that's good. I've met his mom before she was pretty chill" "yea she was sweet. Question" "yea" "have you talked to Isaac about college" "uh no, have you" "not really. Gios mom asked about it then on the drive home he tried to bring it up and I told him we'd figure it out when we got there. What are you gonna do" "I'm not sure, and it's not like he's asked about it so I haven't really thought about it" "yea me neither".

"My dad asked me to go out of town with them" I said to her "when" "a few days before spring break starts. They are going to Florida, some resort" "are you gonna go" "I don't know" "well how long is the trip" "Wednesday to Sunday. We'll be back Sunday afternoon" "I think you should go" "really" "yea. I'm not saying things with your dad are ever going to be normal or that he can make up for what he did but it's obvious that he's trying. He really turned his life around and he wants you in it so maybe give him a chance" "maybe you're right. Would you come if I went" "of course I would" "I'll think about it" "okay" she said smiling a little.

"Come in" I said before Derrick opened the door a little "I was gonna order in for dinner and I was just seeing if you and Isaac were staying" he asked Rory "yea I'll stay" "you can just order enough I don't know if he's staying" "okay, Chinese sound good" "yea great" I said before he left and Rory and I went back to watching tv.

About twenty minutes later Isaac started to stir before he opened his eyes and sat up slowly.
"Hey are you gonna stay for dinner" I asked "uh what time is it" "a little after eight" "sure. Hey Rory" "hey Isaac" she said waving without taking her eyes off the screen. He leaned forward kissing me with his hand on my stomach. I pulled off and started kissing his neck a little before lightly pushing against his chest then he stood up and left the room.
