A/n: Thanks for your concerns "the lies sink in", and for your thoughts on Issie. Yes, she is a slut-but we are going to explore this side of her and maybe have her make amends! This chapter, however, does not explore Issie as a slut but maybe the next chapter will? Maybe some more Lizzie/Corey fun maybe a twist this chapter is more about Lizzie and Issie's Day! The next chapter is already written so the more you review the more inclined I'll be to post it!
I was tired from fighting- I hadn't actually fought with someone younger since Matt. I miss Matt, good old Matt. He's in high school now and around Isabella's age. They might make a good couple that is if Matt weren't dating Melina, but maybe they broke up. Maybe I'll call him tomorrow, invite him over. He's only an hour away-I mean it's not that far and then Isabella could hang out with some one her own age, who I trusted. Well kind of trusted-okay don't trust but at least know where he lives so I could hurt him if he tried anything!
I lay down on my bed recovering from my pleasure filled night with Corey and drifted off to sleep. The next morning I woke up with Isabella hovering over me.
"What? Is something wrong?" I said sitting up and looking at Isabella suspiciously.
"No Liz, everything is fine, I made you breakfast!" she said, her obvious attempt at redeeming my trust.
"Oh thanks, come sit here with me." I smiled and she plopped down cheerfully beside me, her dark hair tied up in a messy bun on her head.
"I'm sorry for being so mean yesterday, it's just that your brother trusted me with you and I wanted to keep you out of trouble." I said looking down into my hands.
"I know Liz, its okay. I had no right inviting Jack over." She said sincerely.
"Hug?" I asked with a smile. She responded by hugging me and we sat eating the breakfast she had made for me.
"So, Issie, what do you want to do today?" I asked finishing up my toast.
"Hmm, get my hair done! Let's both get our hair done, my mom said I should come out here and get it done professionally." She smiled excitedly.
"Yeah, I've been wanting to dye my hair for a while now, I'm thinking of changing the blonde to maybe a brown or a coppery red!" I smiled at her.
"How about you go down to see your brother for the morning and I will make us an appointment?"
"Awesome Liz, you're my favourite of Corey's girl friends!" she said happily giving me a quick hug and running out the door.
I yawned and fell back down into my bed. I rolled over and grabbed the phone making two appointments for our hair and our nails. I got out of bed and dressed for the day.
After an hour of studying I went to go get Issie for our hair appointments so that we could maybe get lunch first. I knocked on Corey's door softly and a happy Isabella answered the door.
"Hey, where's your brother?" I asked looking in the apartment.
"In here Liz, come in!" he called from the bathroom. I entered the apartment and collapsed on the couch to wait for him to come out. As he left the bathroom, he was shirtless and merely in his boxers. I smiled at him and he came over to give me a kiss.
"Hey sexy, mind if I borrow your sister for the day?" I asked kissing him softly.
"Go ahead, I have some guy stuff to do anyway," he answered heading into his room.
"Oh guy stuff," Isabella and I giggled in unison.
We said a quick good bye and left for our hair appointment, unfortunately without enough time to grab lunch.
As we entered into the salon, I noticed all the really wild hair styles on the hair-dressers and began to panic.
"Hey, Issie, maybe you should just get your hair colour done-I don't know if I can go through with this!" I told her as we walked up to the front desk.
"Oh Liz don't worry about it-change is great!" she answered telling the hostess our names. We followed her back to the colour stations and put on a robe. We were then met with some colourists and began to discuss hair colours.
"So, I was thinking going darker-like brown or red," I began to tell Sheila, the woman doing my colour for the day.
"That's a great idea, I'm thinking a dark, chocolaty brown!" she exclaimed and I nodded in agreement. She began wildly rushing around to grab the colour and finally set to work. I was set away from the mirror so that I would be completely surprised with the results of my hair colour-and I was.
As I turned back around after she had blown out my hair, I began to cry.
"My-My-My-My hair is brown!" I yelled shocked at the result. I didn't look bad, I actually looked great-it was just a major shock.
"Liz, calm down! You look amazing," Isabella reassured me.
"Really?"
"Yeah, absolutely gorgeous, well, what about mine?" she asked pointing to her bright blonde hair.
"Wow, you look awesome as a blonde-do you realize we just switched hair colours?" I asked her beginning to laugh.
We paid for our hair and left the salon with laughter, heading out to lunch for a quick bite-then back to Corey's.
After lunch we went straight to Corey's ready to surprise him with our new hair colours. When we got to his apartment he was busy away in his room, so we sat on the couch that faced away from Corey's room. He came out excitedly and began to hug Isabella, giving her a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey Lizzie," he began then gave me a little pat on my head, "hi Issie!"
We both turned around revealing that he had mixed us up and he backed away in shock. "Whoa, you guys look amazing and really different!" he said coming over to me and kissing me hard on the lips. "I love you as a brunette-such a sexy colour!" he said coming through his own hair. He went over to Issie and gave her a hug looking at her speculatively to take in her new hair colour. "Mom is going to die!" he began to laugh and Issie looked down at her feet.
"So, how about we all go out to celebrate your fine hair-dos?" He asked putting his arms around our shoulders.
"Hey, you know what, my brother is actually coming to visit us today- I invited him to dinner, I thought it would be fun!" I said happily and Corey smiled happily.
"Awesome, now I can meet some of your family! How ld is he?" Corey asked.
"He's actually Issie's age!" I said giving her a look.
"Oh Issie's age, looks like you have a date Issie!" Corey teased.
"Great!" she said sarcastically and sat down on the couch.
"Well I have to go meet him-he should be over soon- so we'll come pick you two up in a bit-bye!" I waved at Issie and gave Corey a quick hug walking out the door. I ran up to my apartment and went in to fine Ethan talking to Matt on the couch.
"...You know guy, it's so weird-marriage-engagement-whoa!" Ethan was saying as I walked in. Just then they turned to see me walk through the door.
"Hey Lizzie, nice hair, very sexy!" Ethan commented then I turned to see Matt's huge grin.
"Hey Matt," I greeted while giving him a hug, "how are you?"
"I'm good, does mom know you dyed your hair Lizzie?" he asked mischievously.
"Don't start Matt. So go get ready-we're going for dinner with my boyfriend and his sister!" I commanded and Matt obeyed gchanging his shirt and gelling his hair a bit more.
"Kay Lizzie, I can't believe you set me up on a blind date!" he called from the washroom.
"Oh give me a break, she's very pretty and blonde-two things you like. So how's Melina?" I asked quietly.
"I don't know, she's seeing some guy named Tom. Oh, Lanny says hello." Matt called.
"Oh, thanks, I say hello too. So Matt, what happened with Melina?" I asked seeing if he'd respond.
He came out of the bathroom and answered, "well, we got in a fight over this prank we pulled and she got all pissed at me for calling her a whore-after she kissed Tom-because that was part of the plan- and she told me she liked Tom so I said 'then be with Tom' and she's all 'then I will'. The next day they were making out in the café." He said sadly concluding his story.
"Oh Matt, that's so sad! I'm sorry; this date will be good for you!" I stated cheerfully and pulled him to the door to come meet Isabella. As we arrived and knocked on the door, Isabella answered. Matt was shocked to see her, his face looked very surprised and she also had a look of shock.
"Hi Issie, this is my brother Matt," I introduced, "and Matt, this is Issie!"
"Hi!" They said in unison then blushed slightly. At this point Corey came to the door and introduced himself to Matt.
"So are we ready to go then?" I asked everyone.
They nodded and we headed out once again for another fun-filled night.
