Beautiful Monster

Isabelle's Pov

Another day and I haven't seen Mattia at all. It's been so bad. At this point, I might as well be kidnapped again, because he was my main purpose to get back. I love Camille but I know she is mature enough to deal with so much. He isn't and neither am I.

I looked at myself in the mirror as I brushed my hair. I sighed and put the brush down. I sat in silence hoping for someone to make a noise but I was alone. Camille was out with Noah and Olivia was home. I wondered if she would stop by today because planning is basically finished.

I thought about what she asked me. Of course I want to be a mother. I would be so happy to have a little one running around. I would make sure they were happy all the time. I would give them the life I never had.

I don't know how everyone would feel. Maybe father will go away again. Maybe Mattia will leave me on the streets. Maybe I will just be alone with that baby but I won't care because I will be happy.

I decided to go downstairs and get out of my thoughts. I walked to the fridge and opened it. I pushed aside all of the healthy bullshit that we grabbed at the market and saw the holy grail.

Cheesecake is great. I pulled the entire cake out and cut me a piece. I placed the cake back in the fridge and walked into the dining room. I went to put my fork into the cake when I heard a slight knock on the door. I turned my head slowly. That's weird.

I got up from my chair and slowly walked to the door. I looked through the peep hole and there was no one there. I shrugged my shoulders. Maybe Camille ordered something. I opened the door and saw a black rose on the doorstep.

What is this? Why would someone do that? I rolled my eyes and picked it up. How did someone even get through the gate without the password? The guards must be on break but there is no way someone got through here. 

I shut the door and walked to the trash can. I tossed the rose into the garbage and sat at the table with my cheesecake. I picked up my fork and started to break off a piece.

This time there was a hard knock at the door. I rolled my eyes and dropped my fork hard and walked to the door. I swung it open.

"Listen stop leaving your stupid roses" I said harshly.

"What are you talking about" 

Olivia was standing at the door while holding a baby bottle. I tilted my head.

"Isabelle"

"Sorry come on" I said. We walked to the table and I sat down.

"Ooh, cheesecake" Olivia said and took the plate off the table. I rolled my eyes and sat back.

"What's the baby bottle for"

"We will be picking the games we are going to play"

"For the baby shower" I asked.

"Of course"

"Why does Kairi never help"

"Well today he is out with Mattia but I want him to be as surprised as possible"

"Out with Mattia doing what"

"Celebrating duh. Mattia just turned 24 today"

"You're shitting me. His birthday is today" I asked standing out my seat.

"He didn't tell you"

"No, he didn't fucking tell me. He never tells me anything. Shit, he has been avoiding me for two weeks. I have no idea what I did wrong or why I did it but He doesn't even give me time to apologize"
