2 chapter two

Isabella POV:

" I know it's hard... hang in there things will get better .."

dad comfort me as we sat down for breakfast.

" don't worry dad I am all good.."

" you are bad at lying so don't even try to fool me.. you are still my little girl you can't hide your pain from me.."

I tried to be unaffected but who am I kidding tears fall as I force myself to take a bite of my favourite burger.

" take it easy honey.. I know how you feel.."

dad pat my back as I hiccup for forcing the burger into my mouth, guess I underestimated the poor burger.

"here.. you will feel better once you drink the water.."

he offer me water which I was swift to grab and drench my throat.

" why pretend when you are bad at it.. " he added worries written all over his face.

" are you sure you are okay" he ask

this time it was hard to pretend and flash a smile, I sat there crying loud for it hurts like hell to even breathe.

dad got up and hug me tight making me more miserable as my crying gets louder.

" what am I suppose to do with you.. was it not enough that we lost your mom.. why Marcus.. why.."

dad mumble between tears..

we sat there hugging eachother not uttering a word and let sadness do it's job.

August POV:

I stood at the door contemplating whether to press the bell or not when the door was swift open.

" can I help you.."

she asked as though she had forgotten the boy who always stands at the her door.

" oh oggy.. gosh how long has it being since we last met.. " her face slightly change as she remembered her old friend.

" being ages I guess.."

" I still can't believe it's you.. and what bought you here ..."

" just paying a visit to Grandma thought why not drop by.."

" look at me I have keep you standing please come in.."

" that's fine.. "

" come in..."

I followed her into her living room nothing have change, maybe the technologies other than that it's still the home with the same fragrance and love.

" would you like some black tea.. your favourite "

she offers

" sure since you have mention it.."

" just wait a minute I will be.."

she hurried off to the kitchen.

my eyes roam around the room, the pictures of her wedding hanging right Infront on my eyes, I never thought I did be in a situation of visiting her after she got married, when I heard about it I promise myself to bury the memories of regrets and move along with whatever life offers me but here we here face to face in a rather awkward situation.

" here is your tea.. not sure if I have make it to your taste.." she hand me the cup

looking at her after a long time, things have change she have matured far more than I have image but she still looks beautiful behind her big curious eyes.

" so I heard you have become a captain.. Marcus would speak lengths about you over the phone.. he said you have change alot but look at you being nervous as usual.." she said catching my nervous eyes that's ready to look every where but not her.

" and Marcus who talk lengths about you.. I am sorry that you have to go through all things..." I answer breaking the ice, her expression change but still manage to act strong.

" I am doing better.. everyone is trying their best so I should be fine.. "

" just know no one could have love you as much as Marcus did..."

" I know... that man was one big angel within a short time he make me the happiest girl.. heaven must have being a better place now.."

she answer flashing her smile between her twinkling eyes and I could read the pain written behind those eyes.

" I am planning to spend the holidays here.. so you can call me when you need a companion.. remember I am your bestie.."
