CHAPTER 3: THOUGHTS

"you ruined my bicycle" she pointed and the person in front her raised his brows while his companion looked between the two of the.

His eyes fell on the bicycle that was near the vehicle and he rolled his eyes before replying "then you shouldn't have put it in the way"

"there are plenty of space to park your car , you're not blind ,and you can't just destroy anyone's property just because they are in the way" she placed emphasis on the last three words.

"move out of the way" he glared and Isabella felt her palms itch as she wishes to punch him in the face.

"we need to leave "the person with him said while glancing at Isabella.

The girl opened her mouth to speak when. she saw a bunch of flying papers in front of her face before it fell on the ground

"that's more than enough for your loss" he said and hopped inside the car with the other person before the vehicle drive away .

Isabella rolled her eyes at what she just did,she stared at the money on the floor,she wasn't going to take it,money wasn't enough to take responsibility she thought. He had just humiliated her by throwing the money on her face and if he hadn't left she was sure to give him a slap he would remember.

The grocery store she went to was far from her home and she was going to take longer than she had initially planned and it was all tbanks to the rich spoilt brat she encountered earlier. She had held tight to what she bought she as to not waste it because of her anger, though the thought of slapping came in mind ,she had made sure not to drop the groceries on the ground.

Isabella decided to wait for the taxi,but waiting could also take more time as she hadn't seen any passed by, she'll just have to work.

Having walking for a while,with the groceries in both hands , Isabella finally hailed a cab and went straight for her home. She was still ranting about how her planned time had been ruined,now she needed to get herself a new bicycle.

Opening the door to her home,she went straight to the kitchen where her mother had placed her food on the counter. Setting the groceries aside she went straight to making pancakes for her brother. A while later she took it up to Carl's room.

Opening the door ,she noticed the boy had placed his book away and now laid on his back with his headphones on. Isabella stumped right towards him and iulled the device away making the boy turn to look at her with a questioning look on his face but on setting his eyes on the pancakes,he sat up and took the dish from her

"thank you" she said before taking a bite,then he added "you took longer than I thought"

"just had a little problem"she replied putting his headphones on the shelf "enjoy" with that she exited the room and went away from there but not to her room.

There was another door that was located not too far away from where she now stood making her way there,she didn't bother to knock and just went in, noticing the woman that now laid on the bed . Her mother that was in the kitchen before she left now laid down peacefully.

"mum I'm back" she went to sit beside her mum, who's had her eyes closed but opened them to see her daughter with a small smile on her face.

The woman sat up with her back leaning against the headboard "how are you doing?' she asked while her eyes scanned her daughter

"I should be the one asking you that " Isabella placed her hand on her mum's

"don't worry I'm strong"she gave an assuring smile but Isabella wasn't ready to take it she heard her mum say "but if anything, anything at all,take care of your brother"

"I'm already taking care of him and nothing is ever going to happen".

Her mum has a hole in her heart and wasn't going to last long,she needed surgery as soon as possible. Their life was simple but they didn't have that amount of money for the surgery and Isabella really wished they could. She had tried not to think about it but it only came back every time she sets her eyes on her mum . Though she's been the one handling a few things now , being the eldest she wanted to her assist her mum and take care of her brother,but it felt hard sometimes.

Isabella walked out of the room with many thoughts running through her head she was only sixteen and about to graduate high school what would happen if she lost her mum.

"no no no... nothing would happen" she assured herself trying to clear the thoughts away. She hurriedly went to her room and closed the door behind her.The mess she had made on her bed still laid there and ava took one of the papers that were there.

A famous fashion industry is giving opportunity for fashion designers out there to showcase their designs and make their best sales and the people who would be purchasing it including famous models would pay a lot of money for it,it was going to be going to be like an auction but different. Every fashion designer would send their designs to the company and the ones that had the best sales would been given the price and also an opportunity to work for them.

Isabella saw this as a golden opportunity, though she didn't know if she was going to get it ,it was worth a try. She had always loved fashion and sometimes went to her tailor's shop taking the little pieces of clothes and sewing something new.

She canned through her closet and noticed some clothing materials that were yet to be used nor opened. Her mum had sometimes tried to had been clothes made for but Isabella had always refused and requested for the materials instead as she wanted to practice her sewing abilities but she hadn't found the chance to,now all she needed was a sewing machine ,she thought

But first she took out her sketch pad and drew out the designs she needed, knowing she was going to spend all night doing that. The deadline was in two weeks as she had seen it late she had only two weeks to make her clothes but she knew she could do it with just the right amount of focus
