Waking up in boys' place startled Isabel a bit. She actually forgot that they were having a sleepover. She opened her eyes and saw Logan sound asleep. She giggled at the sound of him slightly snoring. She turned around. Kendall was asleep and so was James. Carlos was all stretched on the couch. She was actually surprise that she was the only one awake. It was 7:12. She laid her head back down on the pillow and stared up at the celling. She started thinking about New york. She started thinking about all her friends and wondered how they're doing without her.
"Good morning Mrs. I'm starting to like Kendall." Logan laughed.
Isabel turned around and saw Logan looking at her. He was smirking.
"Pssh, No. You're kidding right." Isabel punched his arm.
"Ow. Sheesh, that hurt." Logan whispered sarcastically.
"Well sorry Mr. Weirdo."
"Weirdo? At least say something true like I did."
"I don't like him like that." Isabel whispered.
"Okay in all seriousness, do you really. I won't even say a thing if you say yes."
"I am being serious. I don't like Kendall like that. You guys are my best friends and let's say I did like him I wouldn't want it to ruin this whole friendship."
"Okay, You do have a point. I believe you though. So are you happy here?"
"Yeah super freaking happy. I needed to have you guys back in my life again."
"Ha yeah. I can say the exact same. But I mean, are you okay that you left New York. I know it was hard for you when you left Minnesota so I would figure it would be hard leaving New York too."
There was a long pause from Isabel. She really couldn't find the right words.
"Yeah. Yeah i kind of do miss it. But I miss how it was. I moved during the right time."
"What you mean?"
"Well, when I first moved there I had a great time. I made lots of friends and my life was good. But lately it-it just wasn't the same. It's sorta hard to explain. But all I know is that it was best for me to move. I just wished my dad was still here. The divorce really hurt me. I don't even know how Mandy deals with it. I couldn't really enjoy my life. It affected me badly."
"Nobody's parents should get divorced. And I remember your dad was such an awesome guy."
"He really was. I honestly don't know why this whole divorced happened. But I just knew that my dad wasn't happy with my mom. He wasn't the same and I had a feeling that the divorce was gonna come. And that's when everything started to change. Right before the divorce. New York didn't feel like my home anymore. Everywhere I went just made me feel…weird. But I miss it. Missed how it used to be."
"Yeah, I get it. I'm sorry that the divorce happened."
"Thanks Logan. That's why I said I needed you guys back in my life. I had to get some positive energy back in my life. Before we left New York, I guess you can say I wasn't the same anymore. I did somehow change but so did everything else. I remember when I told my friends that I was moving. And they were just sad. But even though New York didn't feel like it was for me, I was still pretty sad about moving. I knew I was leaving a lot of things behind."
"Moving is always hard. Always. But you just have to deal with those type of things. And I'm glad you're back. When you left Minnesota, everything didn't feel the same anymore. No more knocking on your doorbell. No more fun ass sleepovers. It was actually hard on all of us. Even though you said New York somehow changed, I know you'll still miss it."
"Yeah but I rather be here than over there."
"Thank god." Logan chuckled.
"Ha. It's true."
"Did you ever meet someone special in New York?"
"Like a guy?"
"Yeah, someone special means a guy."
"Oh, well. I had those usual "two week" relationships. Nothing really serious. But, um, there-there was this guy. He was my friends friend. I didn't, uh, know him too well but something about him was…different... But, uh, there was this rumor that he had slept with this girl. No one knew who but then there was a rumor that he had gotten her pregnant but she got an abortion. And before I left, it turned out to be true. But I never found out who the girl was."
"Damn. That's fucked up. When- when was that?"
"Uh, I think about a month before I left. My parents were going through the divorce at that time. So it was around a month before i left that the rumor started. And 2 days before leaving, my friend told me that it was true. She didn't know who the girl was so neither did I."
"How did she know it was true?"
"Well, people were whispering about it a lot and then he finally admitted it was true but he never said who the girl was. Maybe he did but my friend didn't know."
"Damn, that's pretty intense. To me, Abortion is just-just sad. I know when you're teenager and having a kid is hard but apportion is so extreme for me. I find it wrong."
"Yeah yeah. Uh, A lot of people I knew found it wrong too. It's sad that it happen to that girl."
"Yeah, and now she has to go through life knowing that she killed her child."
Isabel was going to say something but was interrupted by James. He was moving around in the blankets. He sighed and sat up. He looked at Logan and Isabel, who were looking back at him.
"Uncomfortable, there?" Isabel snickered.
"Yes very. Make me comfortable please." He whispered-laughed.
"Okay James." Logan held out his arms
"Ew dude. I'm not gay." James said looking at Logan.
"It was a joke, James. Sheesh." Logan got up and walked into the kitchen.
"Ha I know you were." James chuckled.
"Ergh, Me is trying to sleep." Kendall groaned.
"Oh sorry." James whispered.
"Eh, it's alright. I should probably get up anyway." He said with a yawn.
"Yes, it would be best if you got up sleepy head." Isabel half laughed.
"FIne fine." Kendall got up from the blankets and went into the kitchen with Logan.
"So people, I believe we need to get to know the new Isabel. It's been 6 years since we've seen you. We should get to know the new you." James said grinning.
The boys besides Carlos ( who was still sleeping) nodded and chuckled.
"Well, there isn't, uh, much new to me. Don't I seem like the old me?" Isabel winked.
"Well, we all are different somehow. But missy you came back from New York. And i know for a fact New York changed you. That's what New York does."
"Pssh, How do you know if New York changed me? The only thing new about me is that i got taller, straighter hair and more confident. Does that satisfy you James?"
"Don't forget bigger boobs." Logan laughed hysterically.
All the boys laughed and Carlos, who just woke up, chuckled. Isabel was smiling. She looked down at her boobs and snorted. It was funny seeing the boys laughing hysterically.
"Okay enough about my big boobs. Gosh. Be mature men." Isabel said
"Hey, we are mature enough. Lot of other guys would keep saying that you got big boobs. Since we are generous we are only mentioning it once." Kendall laughed.
"Wows thank you so much. This is what I get for being friends with only boys." Isabel shook her head.
"Oh come on, we love you." Carlos nudged Isabel on her shoulder.
"Yeah, we just joking. We wont mention it again." Logan said.
"I know you're just joking." Isabel stuck her tongue out.
Isabel got a text from her mother saying that she's leaving for work and that she has to be home now to look over Mandy. So she told the guys and they said they'll all hang out later.
Isabel went two doors down and saw her mother dressed for work. When her mother left, Isabel went in her new room. She saw Mandy sleeping and smiled. Isabel went to the living room and turned on the computer to look for jobs in L.A. Isabel felt bad that her mother was doing this on her own. She didn't want to see her mother going through this alone. Isabel thought it would be a good thing to help her mother out. So when she saw an ad for a modeling agency, Isabel was pretty interested. She knew the becoming a model old take skills but she was pretty confident in her self. Isabel has always wanted to be a model ever since she moved to New York. She just needed to get a folder of good quality photos. Luckily, in New York she shot a few modeling photos with her friend on her birthday. Isabel sighed. She thought a chance like this would never happen. Especially how things been turning out lately. But now this was something Isabel wanted. And Isabel is determined to do this. She was ready and nothing was gonna stop her.
