Isabel's pov
The next morning at 9:00a.m. the guys came back to take me home. "Hey Is, how ya doing?" Cam asked. "Great. I just know this day is gonna be the best day ever." I said. "Glad you're feeling okay." Sierra said popping into the room. "Sierra!" I yelled. She walked over to me and sat on the side of my bed. "What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be back in Bloomfield." I said/asked. "Well, as soon as I heard that you were in the hospital, I just had to come over and visit." She said grabbing my hand. "Well, I'm glad you came." I replied. "Guys. Can I talk to Sierra alone for a few minutes?" I asked. They nodded and Cam, Nash, Hayes, and Shawn walked back to the waiting room. "Sierra. I have no idea what to do." I said. "About what?" She asked. "About the whole Shawn/Michael situation." I replied. "Well, do what you think is right and best for all of you. Follow your heart, Isabel." She said. I smiled up at her and she hugged me. "I'm really glad that I have you as a big sister." I said. "And I'm glad that I have you as another younger sibling, other than Cameron." She replied. I smiled again and then the nurse and doctor came in and unhooked me from the machines. I walked out toward the front desk with Sierra and she checked me out. On our way back to the waiting room we talked and laughed and caught up with each other. When we walked into the waiting room, Michael was there with them. "Michael!" I said jumping into his arms. "Hey. I'm glad you're okay." He said kissing my cheek. "Okay guys we need to go back to the hotel." Nash said. "Want a ride to the car?" Michael asked gesturing towards his back. "Yes! I missed your piggy-back-rides." I say, and hop onto his back. On our way , we all laughed, joked and talked. I felt like my normal self again. No more stress, depression, anxiety, or sadness feels. Just my plain old self. Hayes jokes around and said something that made us a laugh, even Sierra. But Shawn didn't laugh though. He looked sad, depressed even. I had to fix this. I hopped off of Michael's back and held his hand the rest of the way to the car. {they parked really far} "Are you going back home?" I asked. "No. Actually we're gonna spend the next week in Myrtle Beach with my mom's sister and my cousins." He said. "So, when are you leaving." I asked. He looked at me with a sad face and said, "We're going to the airport right now." "Oh." I mumbled looking down. "But we can still facetime and text." He said. "Yeah, definitely." I replied. *skip ride to airport* When we arrived at the airport, I helped Michael with his bags and we walked to his gate. "I'm gonna miss you." I said as he was looking for his boarding pass. "Gonna miss you too." He replied leaning in. Our lips touched and I felt butterflies in my stomach and fireworks, just like the first time. "Flight number 542 now boarding!" The announcer yelled in the speaker. I pulled away and hugged him. "I'll text you." He said walking away. "Okay, say hi to Claire for me." I said as our hands slipped from each other and he boarded the plane. I walked over to Nash, Hayes, and Cam. "Hey. Where's Shawn?" I ask. "He walked back to the car." Hayes said. "When?" I asked. "Around the time when Michael was leaning in to kiss you." Nash replied. I nod and can't help but feel guilty. "Well, you're pretty quiet. What's wrong?" I ask Cam. "Nothing, just bored , and hungry." He said. "When are you not." I reply and we all laugh. *skip car ride to hotel* When we got back to the hotel, we went to our rooms and Mahogany was frantically looking all around the room for her stuff when I entered. "Hey stranger." I say tapping her on the shoulder. "Hey! Isabel, you're back!" She said hugging me. "Yup. Back and better than ever." I say smiling. "So. How you feeling?" She asked, with a serious face. "Okay. But I still have no idea what to do about Shawn and Michael." I said looking down. "Well don't worry. You'll figure out what to do." She said. "But how? I've asked a ton of people for help and they all said the same thing; 'You'll figure it out. This is your decision and we'll support you on it." I reply. "Well. We will. And I'll try to help, but I can't promise anything." She said, then went back to packing. I decided to start packing too since we only have four hours 'til we have to leave. After I finished I laid on bed and checked my phone. The haters were mostly gone and I got tagged in a lot of edits with Cam and the boys and a lot edits of just me. Then a few people walked into the room, one of them was Shawn. We haven't talked for almost a month now. Maybe...maybe I shouldn't break up with Michael. I mean, it seems like Shawn's moved on... I get up, grab my phone and make my way towards the door. But before I can walk out, I feel a gentle grip on my arm pull me back. I turn around and I'm facing Shawn and staring into his brown eyes. We don't say anything for a while and I turn my body to walk out. "Isabel. Please, just hear me out." He says. I turn back around, avoiding his eyes. "Okay. What." I mumble. "Isabel Rose Dallas. From the first day Cameron introduced you to us to the first time you sang in front of everyone at the Magcon, I've liked you. I love the way you laugh, your smile, your voice, and your personality. Isabel Rose Dallas. Please, say that you'll forgive me." He said. I soften up and then start to get tense again as I realize that almost everyone in the room is staring at us. I walk over to him. "Look Shawn. I forgive you. But this changes nothing between us." I say, then leave and close the door behind me. I check the time on my phone and it's 5:30. Then I walk down to the lobby and out of the hotel to a tree and sit there, thinking.
