Chapter 8. Bella's wishes/Fairy Tales

The next day (they took Isabella home and the babes stayed over. Lizzie's laying in her bed, watching Isabella sleep and the girls are downstairs):

Gordo's Pov:
- Lizzie? Are you awake? (She turned around and looked at me with her great hazel eyes... her sad hazel eyes...)
"Just watching Bella", she said. "She looks a little pale..."
- What've you planned for today?
"Her fav movies. I know her fav Fairy Tale is Cinderella, so I got the cartoons and 'A Cinderella Story'. I also know she loves Amanda Bynes and Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, so I rented lots of their movies... and Rosen's Deal"
- And I called an Italian restaurant. They're sending the food. (She smiled at me, but sadly)
"Thanks, Gordo" Isabella opened her eyes. "Hey sis. Wanna watch a movie?" Isabella nodded. "I'll put 'Cinderella'"
"Co-ol" Lizzie closed her eyes.

Lizzie's Pov:
"Co-ol", Bella tried to say. I closed my eyes. I can't take it. Healthy, rosy, lovely, beautiful Isabella Parigi has been reduced to her shadow. She's pale, she barely can speak, her eye's sparkle (which made us feel alive through her eyes) is gone. Her hair, her beautiful hair, is now a blonde-black mess.

Downstairs:

No one's Pov:
"How's she doing?", Kirsten inquired.
"Who? Lizzie or Bella?", Gordo asked.
"Both", Kate said.
"Lizzie's depressed. Bella is... what can I say? They are having a twin-sisters moment, watching Cinderella.
"How sweet...", Savanna said. "But I prefer the Little Mermaid"
"I loved Sleeping Beauty", Kate said.
"Snow White-", Kirsten was cutted by a squeal. They ran up, just to find Isabella fainted.
"We- we were laughing, and she just...", Lizzie tried to explain, but collapsed crying. Gordo hugged her, and Isabella opened her eyes.
"So-sorry", she said. Lizzie hugged her.
"I guess life ain't like a fairy tale...", Kirsten muttered. Savanna hugged her and they went back downstairs.
"I'll put 'A Cinderella Story'", Lizzie said.
"Which are your wishes? Your dreams? Your hopes?", Isabella wrote.
"My wish is keep you here, safe, with me. My dream is living with you forever, and my hope is that we never separate" Isabella smiled.
"Really"
"...I always dreamt of... becoming famous. A singer, or an actress"
"You will make it. I wish I could be here to see it"
"You will!" Isabella smiled sadly and shook her head.
"Those are my dreams too..." they hugged. After they finish watching the movie, Isabella fell asleep and Lizzie wrote this:
'Metamorphosis

I've been so wrapped up in my warm cocoon
But something's happening, things are changing soon
I'm pushing the edge, I'm feeling it crack
And once I get out, there's no turning back

Watching the butterfly go towards the sky
I wonder what I will become

Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis

Things are different now when I walk by
You start to sweat and you don't know why
It gets me nervous but it makes me calm
To see life all around me moving on

Watching the butterfly go towards the sky
I wonder what I will become

Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis

Every day is a transformation
Every day is a new sensation
Alteration, modification
An incarnation, celebration
Every day is a new equation
Every day is a revelation
Information, Anticipation
Onto another destination

Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis'

Lizzie sighed. "My dreams don't really matter now, twin-sis. All I care about is you" (AN: I added this after writing the whole story, I wanted to say that Lizzie gave up on her dreams for Bella)

Downstairs:

"Girls, Gordo, we think that you should go to school tomorrow", Jo said. "Lizzie's staying here with our permission, because she needs to be next to her sister all the time"
"Sister?", Gordo said. "Is Isabella your daughter?"
"We'll talk about it later", Sam said.
"Okay, Mr. and Mrs. McGuire", Kirsten said. "I'll leave after saying goodbye to Liz and Bella"
"Me too!", Savanna and Kate said. They went up and found Lizzie singing to her sister:
'Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me'

"Hey", Kirsten said. "We came to say goodbye" Lizzie smiled.
"Bye, girls" they went down.
"We'll come back tomorrow, after school", Savanna said.
"Sure", Jo said. "Bye, girls" they left.
"What about Bella's parents in Rome?", Gordo inquired.
"She was in a foster house"
"Why did she keep this from us?... So, you put her up in adoption?"
"We were too young to take care of two kids", Sam said.
"When are you gonna tell them?", he asked.
"Tonight", Sam replied.
"O...Kay... I have to go to school tomorrow, right?" they nodded. "I'll go up" he went.
"Hey baby", Lizzie said. "What's up?" she never left Bella's side.
"Not much", he lied. "Your parents want me to go to school tomorrow"
"Oh... Do I?"
"Nope. Your parents don't want you to leave your sisters side-"
"My what?"
"Oops... I meant your twin-sis"
"O...kay..."
"Kids!", Jo yelled. "Dinner's ready!"
"Bella?", Lizzie said. "Dinner's ready. We'll help you go down" they went.
"Girls, your mother and I both need to tell you something very important...", Sam said.
"Girls... you're sisters", she said.
"Huh?", Lizzie and Isabella said.
"We were young, and we couldn't take care of two kids, so we put Isabella up in adoption", he said.
"We are... sisters?", Lizzie looked at Isabella and they hugged. "I'm pretty mad at you two, but... I'm so glad that she's my sister!"
"I didn't have anything, and now I have a father, a mother, a brother, and... Lizzie as my sister!" Isabella wrote.

After dinner, the girls were playing 20 questions:

"Which was your dream as a child?", Lizzie asked.
"To become a singer, or an actress. And having a family...mostly, a sister"
"We're so alike!"
"Who was your first kiss?", Isabella asked.
"...Aaron Carter. Under mistletoe"
"How sweet!"
"Have you ever been in love?" Isabella shook her head.
"And you?"
"I am... Who's your celebrity crush?"
"Uhm... Adam Brody", Isabella revealed.
"Omigosh! Mine too!", Lizzie exclaimed.
"Who's your favorite singer?" Lizzie smiled.
"My twin sister" Isabella smiled back. "What did you always want?"
"A puppy"
"I always wanted one too! ...hey, can I do something with your hair?" Isabella nodded. "It's gonna be blonde with black locks"
"Cool" Half an hour later, Isabella's sleeping.
"Sweet dreams, sis"

The next night (I cut a part here) (Lizzie bought two pups, a blonde one for Bella and a brunette for herself. She asked her mom who was born first and she said Isabella was. The five girls talked about a road trip. Their parents are going out for dinner, and Matt's at Lanny's)

"I wrote this", Isabella said. "I want us to sing it together"
"I'll ask Gordo to tape it", Lizzie said. 15 minutes later. "Any moment, everything can change"

"Feel the wind on your shoulder"
"For a minute, all the world can wait" (L)
"Let go of your yesterday" (I)

"Can you hear it calling?" (L)
"Can you feel it in your soul?" (I)
"Can you trust this longing?" (L)
"And take control" (I)
"Fly" (L & I)

"Open up the part of you that wants to hide away" (L)
"You can shine" (I)
"Forget about the reasons why you can't in life" (L)
"And start to try, cause it's your time" (I)
"Time to fly." (L & I)

"All your worries, leave them somewhere else" (L)
"Find a dream you can follow" (I)
"Reach for something, when there's nothing left" (L)
"And the world's feeling hollow" (I)

"Can you hear it calling?" (L)
"Can you feel it in your soul?" (I)
"Can you trust this longing?" (L)
"And take control" (I)

"Fly" (L & I)
"Open up the part of you that wants to hide away" (L)
"You can shine" (I)
"Forget about the reasons why you can't in life" (L)
"And start to try, cause it's your time" (I)
"Time to fly" (L & I)

"And when you're down and feel alone" (L)
"Just want to run away" (I)
"Trust yourself and don't give up" (L)
"You know you better than anyone else" (I)

"Any moment, everything can change" (L)
"Feel the wind on your shoulder" (I)
"For a minute, all the world can wait" (L)
"Let go of yesterday" (I)
"Fly" (L & I)
"Open up the part of you that wants to hide away" (L)
"You can shine" (I)
"Forget about the reasons why you can't in life" (L)
"And start to try" (I)

"Fly" (L & I)
"Forget about the reasons why you can't in life" (L)
"And start to try, cause it's your time" (I)
"Time to fly" (L & I)

"Any moment" (L)
"Everything can change" (I)

"Cool song!", Savanna exclaimed.
"Goodnight, girls", Jo said. "Goodnight, Gordo. Goodnight, my babies"
"Night night, mom!", Lizzie and Isabella chorused. Jo smiled and left.

The next morning, the alarm sounds:

"I'm tired...", Kate complained.
"Are my eyes open?", Savanna asked.
"Nope", Kirsten said, rubbing hers.
"Shhh!", Lizzie said.
"People are trying to sleep in here!", Isabella protested.
"Sorry, baby. Sorry, star. We'll try to keep it quiet" In that, Savanna yells.
"Ow!"
"What?", Kirsten asked.
"Kate stomped on my foot!"
"Wake up, sleepy heads!", Gordo said, opening the door. All the girls squealed.
"What if we were changing?", Savanna inquired.
"That would've been very exciting and I wouldn't be scared" the girls threw him pillows. "At all"
"Get out so we can change!", Kirsten said. He left laughing.
"Your boyfriend's a perv!", Kate told Lizzie. They laughed.
"I'm hungry", Lizzie said. "I'm going to make breakfast"
"Where are... mom and dad?", Isabella asked.
"They are visiting cousin Ree Ree"
"We're home alone?", Kate asked, Lizzie nodded. "Cool!"

In the kitchen:

"Hey", Gordo said. "You look very sexy in your pj's"
"Gordo!", Lizzie protested.
"Just joking", he said, they kissed. "But you do" another kiss.
"Ewww!", Isabella, Kirsten, Savanna and Kate said.
"We're gonna throw up!", Savanna protested.
"I guess none of you is gonna eat hotcakes, then", Lizzie said.
"I'll stop mocking with a condition", Kate said.
"Which is...?", Lizzie asked.
"He has to put on a shirt!"
"Why? Don't you like my boyfriend's body? I think he's pretty hot!"
"I prefer Danny's... though he's not that bad"
"Ewww!", Isabella, Kirsten and Savanna said.
"I'm hungrrry!!!!", Gordo said.
"Okay, baby. I'll trade you hotcakes for kisses", Lizzie said.
"Deal", he said, they kissed.
"I guess there's no point in saying 'Ewww!', right?", Savanna asked. The other three girls shook their heads.
"Liz, Bella, we gotta leave", Kirsten said. "See ya later!" the girls and Gordo left.
"Let's go feed Beth and Bell" they go up and play with their pups for a long while. "Why don't we take a nap?" Isabella nodded.
"Sure, I am tired"

Later:

Isabella's gasping for air.
"L-L-Liz..." she knocked a picture of them to the floor and woke Lizzie up.
"Bella!", Lizzie exclaimed, ran to her bed and held her sister's shaking body.
"I l-l-love you..."
"No! Don't leave me!" she kissed her in the forehead. I love you too, twin sis.
"Tell mom, dad and-and Matt I love them too. T-Tell them, B-Beth"
"I will, but you can't leave me!" Isabella smiled. "No! NO!"
"C-Ciao, twin lil' sis..."
"I-I love you too, twin ol' sis... Ciao, Bell" They locked eyes and Isabella closed hers for the last time. Lizzie hugged her twin's body, crying.
"Hey girl- Lizzie?", Gordo said. She looked at Gordo with a look that told him everything. "Uh, oh... Lizzie, I'm sorry..."
"Why?", she cried. He tried to hug her, but she pulled apart. "I don't need you pity! I don't need anybody's pity! I just need my sister!" Poor Gordo would have done anything to give her the only thing she wanted, but he knew it was impossible.
"Liz-", he started, but she cutted him.
"Get out of my room! I wanna be alone!" he left and phoned Mrs. McGuire.
"Hello?", Jo's voice said.
"Mrs. McGuire, it's Gordo"
"What's wrong, honey?"
"I-Isabella..."
"Is she okay?", she asked, already knowing the answer, but denying it.
"She-She passed by...", he finally said.
"Oh..." he could hear the tears falling. "How's Liz?"
"She's..." he looked at the closed door. "Let's just say she's not exactly fine"
"We'll be right there" she hung up. The front door opened.
"Hey, Gordo!", Kate said. The three girls stared at his face. Kirsten and Savanna already knew it, but Kate asked him. "...what's wrong?"
"Bella" they all stared at the closed door, thinking of the life they just lost. Fade to black.
