1. Chapter 1

Isabel

I'd stopped counting time in Tuesdays, with the friendly UE. Now I counted by Thursdays. The UR looked so welcoming and pleasant. Time had passed slowly.

3 Thursdays since He died.

2 Thursdays since I learned He hadn't.

1 Thursday since talking to Grace and Sam.

And to decide I would never again think, or say His name again.

True to their word, my parents had shipped me off to Caoilfornia. I was back at my old school today and had started unpacking my stuff for my loft. Untrue to their word,I wasn't living with my grandmother but instead had an apartment to myself. More like a penthouse than an apartment. But they did say I had to find someone else to share with me and pay rent. Preferably a girl from school. A rich one. My dad always said, the best way to make money was by making friends. Rich friends. I sat down on a chaise lounge in the welcome room, where quests came from my private elevator. It was inspired by Blair Waldorf's castle design, including a gsweeping staircase connecting the two floors, but had Serena Van Der Woodsen style furniture. Surprisingly, the two polar styles contrasted perfectly. Maybe that was why they were such close friends. I lay back heavily, sighing. I missed the unpredictable weather of my home,my old school where I easily ruled that reminded me everyday of my elder brothers death, and my friends Grace and Sam.

I wouldn't think about him. I couldn't.

My phone rang.

"Speaking?"

"Da," I breathed in quickly. Only one person I knew answered the phone like that. "Helloooo? Isabel?"

"Cole." The ice in my tone even surprised me. Silence. I could hear his breathing, fast and quiet on the other side. "Shouldn't you have changed by now? Its snowing there, right?"

I looked outside. Vaguely cold looking. A bit windy, sky looking surprisingly none fake for once.

"Mm. I changed back. I think I can sort of control it now as well, rather than weather. Did you move in with your Gran yet?"

"I got my own place but I haven't yet unpacked." I said, uncertainly, not sure where this was going, still reeling.

"Whats the address?" I gave it to him.

"Be there in 5 minutes." Then he hung up. He must already be here, just waiting for me to tell him what house. I lay back again, my hand hanging down onto the floor, the other resting over my eyes. This was the first we had talked since That Talk. How could he be so..so normal? I sighed. What was I thinking, this was Cole afterall.
