Why I Do This Disclaimer: You can't pin anything on me! I was framed! I own nothing! Chapter 4
Two Years Ago
After her encounter with Phineas, Isabella cried as she ran home. She ignored her mom and ran to her room. She sat on the floor and sobbed. She had been asking herself if she should run away and forget about everyone…or at least try to be less of pain than she already was to Phineas. The first option won. After deciding to run away, Isabella waited till night fall. As the night came Isabella opened her window and snuck out.
I will wander until the end of time
Torn away from you
she left her house and never looked back. She carried her pink backpack and ran till she reached a rundown building. She looked around and saw no one. It was raining hard and the building was the only place that seemed like it would keep her dry.
I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
Over the field
That I will never find a way
to hear my soul
And I will wander until the end of time
Torn away from you
As Isabella looked around the apartment building she noticed it was abandoned. She searched the three story building and sighed. It was empty. The rooms still had their furniture. And there were belongings left behind. Isabella looked into one particular room. It was the only decent one. The bed was made and it had faded blue sheets on it. It had a luggage bag in it. Curious Isabella looked in it. She found money and valuables. She smiled. Grateful that at least she had something to survive off of.
My heart is broken
Sweet dreams my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold
it was four days since Isabella went missing. Six days when she met Vladimir. She had been able to survive for six days. One day when she went to get food she had almost bumped into Phineas and Ferb. They both looked sad. But she didn't care. To her they looked happy and relieved. Of course that was Isabella's imagination. In reality Phineas and Ferb were both sad, and if Isabella looked closer she would have seen Phineas crying.
From my heart, heart
I can't go on living this way
I can't go back the way I came, change of this field
That I will never find the way
to hear my soul
And I will wander until the end of the time
Half alive without you
Days had grown into weeks. Still Isabella was sure that no one missed her. She was positive that she was better off here. With an abusive boyfriend and a horrible life.
My heart is broken
Sweet dreams my dark angel
Deliver us
Change
Open your eyes to the light
I've been denying so long
Oh so long
Say goodbye, goodbye
Weeks turned into months and Isabella had soon started living in the life of crime. Vladimir was a Russian drug dealer who killed, stole, and sold. She hated her life, but she didn't want to go home.
My heart is broken
Release me, I can't hold on
Deliver us
Isabella had soon become Vladimir's scapegoat. Whenever the police had arrived Vladimir would always leave her behind in the mess. She was lucky the police never caught her. She had learned to escape crime scenes without Vladimir.
My heart is broken
Sweet dreams my dark angel
Deliver us
Soon enough months had turned into years. Two years to be exact. Isabella was still beautiful and smart. In fact she had become smarter than anyone else. During the two years she had started love to Vladimir. Her love was just enough where she could give up her special possession. Her virginity. Of course when she first did she had made a mistake. When she was on her final orgasm she had let Phineas's name slip her lips. Luckily for her Vladimir hadn't heard it. But she had been extra cautious during those "rare moments" when Vladimir decided to use her. Soon after Isabella felt horrible. She had given up her valuable treasure to someone who wasn't her love. Then on the anniversary of her missing date she fled. And here she was now. Telling Phineas and Ferb her tale.
My heart is broken
Sweet dreams my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold
Present Time
After telling her tale she closed her eyes. Isabella had told them everything except for having sex with Vladimir. She wouldn't have been able to look into Phineas's eyes and tell him. And it pained her. The boys were both silent. Phineas was the first to speak.
"Isabella, how could you think that we didn't miss you?" He asked. Isabella felt her tears returning.
"I-I don't' know Phineas. I was just so angry and sad that my mind soon started believing that." She said. Phineas felt his heart ache. Phineas turned to his brother Ferb.
"Ferb, can Isabella and I talk alone please." He asked. Ferb nodded. But before he left he gave a sly smile to Phineas. Phineas chuckled. "Not like that." He said giving a weak laugh. Isabella didn't hear him. She was busy thinking about what Phineas wanted to talk about. "Isabella?" Phineas said. Isabella raised her head and looked at him.
"Yeah?" She asked. Phineas looked down and fiddled with his hands.
"I did miss you." He said. Isabella was shocked. He had said he missed her not we.
"You…you did?" She asked. Phineas nodded.
"More than you know." He whispered. Isabella lifted his chin.
"I missed you too Phineas." She said. Phineas smiled. He took hold of her hand and smiled as he felt a burst of energy surge through him. Isabella felt it too.
"Isabella, I didn't mean anything I said two years ago." He said looking down again.
"What do you mean?" She asked. He sighed.
"What I meant to say was that sometimes I wish I had the guts to tell you how I felt." Phineas said. Isabella was stunned.
"But I thought you were going so that you wish you had never met me." She replied. Phineas snapped his eyes back up to look at her.
"Isabella! I could never wish that." He said. Isabella stood up from the bed. Phineas followed her.
"I know. Sometimes I wish I had listened to myself." She said tears falling. Phineas pulled her into a hug. "Oh Phineas!" She sobbed, "You won't believe how cruel the real world is. How cruel people can be. I always thought that the world was good. But now I know that it isn't just sunshine and rainbows." She said. Phineas remained silent as his own eyes filled with tears. "I-I had to learn the hard way." She said. She then squirmed free of his grasp.
"Isabella-" Phineas began. But Isabella cut him off.
"Save it!" She snapped. Phineas was taken aback by the harshness in her voice. "You won't ever know the horrors I witnessed Phineas! Never! I've seen children get killed, parents murdered! Things that you can't even imagine!" She said. She sunk to the floor and sobbed. Phineas was speechless. Isabella looked like a wreck. Phineas bent down and pulled her into a hug. Isabella squirmed at first but Phineas held her tightly. "Let me go!" She wailed. Phineas held silent tears.
"I'm sorry!" He said. Isabella froze.
"What?" She said. Phineas looked into her eyes. Isabella saw tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Isabella." He said again. Isabella stared at him. His eyes held grief, pain, and suffering. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't said that, none of this would've happened." He whispered. Isabella was still frozen in shock. Phineas pushed back a strand of hair that covering Isabella's face. "It's my fault you had to witness the horror of the world. My fault that you're a wreck. My fault that you had to grow up to fast." He continued on. Isabella blinked.
"No Phineas. It wasn't your fault." She said. Phineas nodded.
"Don't tell me otherwise Izzy. It was my fault." He said. Isabella lifted her head up a little closer to Phineas.
"Phineas, it wasn't." She said. Phineas leaned in closer.
"But…it was." He said leaning closer to her. Their lips were just an inch away from each other. Isabella turned her head away.
"Phineas…do you still like me?" She asked looking back up. Phineas hadn't moved.
"No Isabella. I don't like you." He said, Isabella looked back down. Phineas lifted her head again, "I love you." He said. Isabella gasped.
BAM! Scenes over folks! Sorry I ended it on such a good part. But what do you think is going happen? Are they going to kiss? What about Isabella's reaction? Is she going to tell Phineas her feelings? Please review and let me know!
