Chapter 1: Lies Lies Lies
.
Isabella woke up with the noise of the vacuum cleaner coming from the living room. She brushed her teeth, put her dark hair on a pony tail and went downstairs to eat breakfast. When she got to the end of the stairs she saw her dad cleaning the couch.
"Dad? What are you doing?" The little brunette girl asked.
"Good morning honey. I let some crumbs fall all over this" he said laughing and Isabella laughed too.
"There's apple juice waiting for you" he said.
Apple juice was one of Bella's favorite.
She smile and headed to the kitchen counter. She had breakfast while John finished cleaning the couch which took about 5 minutes.
After John was done he sat next to her in the kitchen.
"I have a surgery this afternoon. Do you want to go to the hospital with me?" He asked.
"How long will it be?" She asked with a look of wonder.
"I don't know about 4 hours maybe" he answered. Bella looked interested.
"Well, Callie will be there. I'm pretty sure you guys can hang out." John said.
"Dad she's probably going to be on surgery too" Bella pointed out.
"You can hang out with someone else" he said smiling.
"Dad you said this two days ago and I spent the entire day by myself at the cafeteria reading." She said not convinced.
"I thought you liked that" John smiled.
"Sometimes I do. But" she said and he interrupted her.
"See you do like it. Come on. Honey I don't want to leave you in the house alone again. Your break from school needs to be fun and not you just staying inside the entire time"
"Well dad when I'm there I'm inside too" she said.
"Very funny Belly. But seriously I don't want you home by yourself and Cameron is busy so you are going alright?" He said smiling at her.
"So apparently sir, you already made a decision"
"Go get ready" John said smiling. Isabella hopped of the chair and gave him a hug.
"Good morning daddy." She smiled.
"Actually good afternoon. It's almost 1. Sleepy head" John said letting out a little laugh. Isabella smiled and went upstairs to change.
She took a shower and got dressed. The usual jeans, a t-shirt and her black doc martins. She just loved the boots her mom gave her. She let her hair lay and put a hair tie on her wrist just for precaution. She got her bag and put two books in it. At the moment she was almost done reading 'The Understudy' and was going to begin 'The 100'. She also packed her iPad and some skittles and she was ready. She went downstairs and found her dad sitting in the kitchen waiting for her.
"You're ready?" He asked.
"Yup." She said.
They went to the car.
The ride to the hospital was alright. Bella did that too many times to pay attention to the outside still so she just turned the music on.

At the hospital they went in to find Derek, Isabella's godfather, in the hall talking to Callie. They seemed happy to see Bella.
"Hey you." Callie said hugging her.
"Hi" Bella said now going to hug Derek who picked her up, gave her a big squeeze and put her back down.
When she turned to her dad he looked a bit off.
"Dad are you okay?" She asked. But got no response. "Dad?" She asked again but before he could answer he fell to the ground and started seizing.
Isabella didn't knew exactly what to do. She tried going down to help him but she couldn't because Callie was holding her too tight she couldn't move right.
"Daddy" she whispered and tears started to go down her face. "Uncle Derek what's going on?" She asked.
"I need a bed in here" Derek shouted and two nurses hurried over with a bed and medicine. "He's gonna be alright honey." Derek said to Bella. "Callie get her out of here"
Isabella was in shock. She didn't want to go anywhere she wanted to stay with her dad.
"Come on honey." Callie said calmly.
"No. I want to stay with him" Bella said letting go of Callie.
"You can't right now. They need to check him" Callie said hugging the girl and trying her best not to cry. She knew what was going on. She knew what John had. But she couldn't tell Bella anything.
Chief Owen came over to see what was going on. Derek rolled John out with the nurses and Bella was hugging Callie.
"What happened?" Owen asked.
"He had a seizure" Callie said with a scared look on her face. She knew that was bad. Really bad.
"Hey what do you think of hanging out with me and Callie for a while?" He asked. "He's gonna be okay." He said hugging her.
"We need to call Jeremy" Callie said. Jeremy was Isabella's brother. He's 25 and he's a doctor too but he works at a private practice downtown and leaves with his girlfriend Marley who is a resident there at the hospital.
The three of them walked to the residents lounge. Bella was holding Callie's hand but she was not crying anymore. They got to the lounge and Isabella and Callie sat on the couch.
"I'm gonna call him. You two wait here" Owen said and left the room. Isabella just stayed there and hugged Callie. She was scared but she was good at not showing it so she just kept telling herself on her head that it was nothing and he was going to be okay. Callie knew how Bella was with letting her emotions out so she didn't want to force anything so she just stayed there hugging her back and she didn't say a word.
Outside Owen was on the phone with Jeremy.
"You need to come here now. It's bad Jeremy. It's really bad this time" he said.
"I'll get there in 5 minutes" Jeremy said.
"Bella is here. She saw everything" Owen said.
"Oh no. Is she okay?" He asked.
"She's with Callie right now."
"I'll get there as soon as I can" Jeremy said and hung up.
Owen was one of the people who knew. A huge part of the doctors there knew, and besides them only Isabella's mother who lived in D.C. knew. Her mother is an FBI agent and used to work for Interpol. She found out she was pregnant while in there and didn't want to get a baby involved into any of that. She was scared somebody could hurt the baby. Even people at Interpol said kids never worked there and it usually ends bad. They told her to have an abortion but she could never do that. So her and John came up with a plan to keep the baby safe. And 10 years later only close family knew about her and no one she knows, but 2 of her friends for Interpol, knows about her daughter. She comes to visit Isabella sometimes and they have an amazing bond. They look so much alike it's scary. Her father always says that.
Owen went into the lounge.
"Your brother's coming" he said. "Hey. It's gonna be okay. Alright" he said kneeing down in front of Bella.
"Okay" she whispered turning over and hugging Callie again. She was trying to be strong but she was just so scared.
"I'm gonna go see how he's doing" Owen said.

After about 10 minutes Jeremy showed up. Bella ran to him.
"Are you okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah" she whispered and hugged him again. "Is he gonna be alright?" She asked fighting her tears that wanted desperately to fall.
"I'm gonna go talk to Derek right now. They took him to do an mri" Jeremy said.
"But he'll be okay right?" Bella asked.
The look on her face was killing Jeremy inside.
"Yeah. It's gonna be okay" he said. She was hating the fact that everyone was saying "it's" and not "he's". She sat down on the couch again and got her book out. She knew mris took a long time and she needed to think about something else. She laid her head on Callie's lap and began reading.

Jeremy got to the mri and the news were not good. They checked john's brain first. And there was a tumor there, but it could be fixed, they thought. But when he's abdomen loaded on the screen they realized it was to late. It was everywhere. Derek stared crying. And Jeremy just stood there and stared at the screen. "How long to you think he has?" Jeremy asked to the oncologist sitting next to Derek. "Not long"
"How long?" He asked again. "Around a week isn't it?"
"Maybe less then that" the oncologist said. Derek got up and hugged Jeremy. They were booth crying. They knew it would happen sooner or later but they didn't thought it was this soon.
John first found out he had cancer 3 years before that. He had chemo and went into remission. They decided not to tell Isabella. John didn't want her to be scared all the time that she was going to lose him. He just wanted her to have a happy life and he knew that would ruin everything leaving her so afraid all the time. His plan worked fine because they had just started talking about boarding schools and he made her go to one in Massachusetts. She went to the same school as john's mother. She didn't want to go but John made her specially because of his sickness. He was in remission for about 7 months and then it came again. He treated and went back to remission. Everything was fine until about 2 months ago. He started feeling really tired and nauseous so he went to get check and they saw it was back. They began treatment but this time he was too sick. The treatment wasn't working and it wasn't going to work. Then he decided to stop it and just enjoy his life and not spend his hours sick in the hospital. He was feeling sick but he could take it. He tried to have as much fun times as he could with Bella and Jeremy and even all his friends. And it was working. He thought of telling Bella but he didn't want her to suffer. So he just didn't.
Derek and Jeremy stopped crying but they were still hugging.
"I need to talk to him" Jeremy said.
"Of course" Derek said.
They turned the mri machine off and took John to his room. He was awake but was feeling really sick and so tired. It was like his lungs were starting to give up on him.
"Dad" Jeremy said getting in the room.
"Hi. Come here" John said. Jeremy went in and sat on the bed.
"How long do I have?" John asked. Jeremy's eyes were tearing up.
"They think maybe a week" he said.
"I don't think I have that long" John said. He was a doctor too. He knew his longs would give up, he knew they wouldn't fight for a week even if he really wanted too.
Jeremy was holding his tears.
"Dad. What am I gonna tell her?" He asked.
"You tell her the truth" John said.
"She'll hate us for this dad." Jeremy said letting his tears fall.
John held his hand tight.
"She will understand sooner or later. She's tough Jeremy. You know that." John said crying too. He knew his daughter was tough and brave but he also knew this would break her.
"She'll be okay" John said.
"I need to call Emily" Jeremy said. "She needs her mom"
"Call Emily and tell Bella. Don't wait for her to get here okay?. Promise me you won't wait" John said.
"Why not dad? Her mother needs to be here. How am I supposed to tell her by myself ?. I can't. I just can't" Jeremy said really fast.
"You can. You need to. She needs you to tell her. She'll stay with Emily and we can't let her be mad at Emily for this because she'll need her more than ever"
"I know but-"
"Jeremy" John cut him off and Jeremy just knew he would have to toughen up and do it.
". Do you want me to tell her now?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah. Call Emily and go tell her. Make sure Derek and Callie are there. And please don't leave her alone okay? She can't be alone okay?" John said crying.
"Okay." Jeremy said and kissed his dad forehead.
"Tell her I love her. Please tell her" John said and Jeremy nodded yes.
He took his phone out of his pocket and went out of the room.

Emily had just finished a case in Texas with her team and they were on the suv heading to the airport to go back home. Her phone started ringing and the name 'David mills' showed up on the screen. She knew that was Jeremy. She changed their names on her contact list so no one would know who they were.
Her body froze. She knew they wouldn't call her if it wasn't something serious. She was always the one who called them.
She answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Emily it's me" Jeremy said.
"Is everything okay?" She asked concerned.
"He's in the hospital. It's really bad this time Em. You need to come here." John said his voice sounding teary.
