Damon went back to the hospital as quickly as he could. He watched Isabel move from side to side as she was asleep. Once again her eyes blinked repeatedly as she tried to open them because the light was a little too bright for her. "Hey. How are you feeling?" asked Damon, lying beside Isabel and putting one arm under her neck and the other to hug her. "Dad. I'm scared. What if I age and die? What will happen to you?" asked Isabel with teary eyes. "Honey, you know I wouldn't let that happen. If you would die, I would die along with you. I wouldn't let you go for anything." said Damon, hugging Isabel. "Promise?" asked Isabel, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Promise." said Damon, kissing her forehead.

Isabel started to feel better. She was discharged the next day and they went home. Isabel was still weak but she could already walk and she had good appetite.

"Ready for dinner?" yelled Damon from the kitchen while Isabel was at their room.

"Hey, Zac. I'm feeling a whole lot better now. I might come back to school tomorrow. See you!" Isabel pressed the send button.

"Almost!" Isabel was changing into her house clothes. "Here. I prepared your favorite." said Damon as he put the fork beside the spoon. Isabel stared at the food.

"What?" said Damon embarassingly.

"Since when did you know how to cook?" asked Isabel, raising an eyebrow.

"I read the cook book."

"Wow." Isabel whispered.

Damon was wearing an apron which seemed pretty weird and he had a pot holder in his hand. He took off the pot holder and tried to get the bread he prepared for Isabel in the oven. "Ow!" he yelled.

"You're supposed to wear the pot holder when you're getting something hot." Isabel laughed. "What's a pot holder? They didn't put that in the book." Damon complained. Isabel stood up and held the pot holder in her hands right in front of Damon's face, one hand on her hips. "Oh, I thought those were gloves." Damon said, scratching his head. Isabel shook her had and laughed. "Hey, I'm new here okay?" defended Damon. "Yeah, so much for a dad." said Isabel sarcastically then laughed.

She slept early that night and woke up the next morning, prepared for school. "Going to school already?" asked Damon as he saw her looking at herself in the mirror with her cheerleader outfit. "Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better now." she said as she pulled her hair into a knot. "Okay, good luck." She left the house and set off to school.

She went to get her History book since it was her first subject that day. She went to the classroom to find no one there. She looked at the time and wondered if classes were called off. She just turned on the lights to make sure and to her surprise, everyone jumped out and there was a banner on the ceiling saying 'Welcome Back!' and then they threw confettis all over the place. "SURPRISE!" they yelled in unison.

"Aww, thanks guys. You shouldn't-"

"Of course we did, you're one of the best and kindest students in this subject, or maybe even in the school." Zac interjected. "Zac told us everything and he told us that you we're coming back to school today, so, we decided to surprise you. It's the least we could do after he told us how much of a hard time you went through." said Arianna, the Half Spanish and Half American girl. "And girl, speaking of which, why didn't you tell me anything about this huh?" said Scarlett angrily. "Scarlett I-"

"Girl, I love it when you do that. It's fine, Isabel. All I care about is you're back and you're good." she laughed. "Whatever Scarface! I hate you for that." teased Isabel. Scarlett made a face that showed she was pissed with what Isabel said. "Uh-uh. I'm not falling for that one." teased Isabel again. "Haha!" laughed Scarlett as she hugged Isabel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BACK AT THE HOUSE~~~~~~~~

"Well well. Lookie here." said Katherine. "Katherine. What are you doing here?" asked Damon, annoyed. "Oh you know. The usual. I came here to mess up your life." smiled Katherine. "You made Isabel go through a lot, you practically made her life a living hell. It was lucky that she survived it. I'm not going to let you do anything else." stopped Damon. "Oh, I wasn't going to do that kind of thing." said Katherine.

She came closer to Damon, and he tried to avoid her. She looked at him sideways, and kept moving towards him. Before they he knew it, Katherine succeeded. She was kissing him. She was able to take a step forward without Damon noticing. Damon kissed back, as if they were passionately inlove. It lasted for a very, very long period of time. They moved to Damon and Isabel's bedroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~AT SCHOOL~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Dismissal.)

"So, Clubs was fun today wasn't it?" said Zac. "Yeah, it was. I loved that duet by the way. That's What Friends Are For. It was really a nice song choice." smiled Isabel. "Well... Could I give you a ride home?" asked Zac. "Yeah. Sure." smiled Isabel, getting chills. They arrived home and Zac left. Isabel entered their bedroom. "DAD?" Isabel screamed. She saw Damon making out with Katherine. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" she yelled.

"Isabel, I can ex-"

"NO YOU CAN'T!"

Isabel screamed and left the room. Damon quickly got up and put on some clothes. "And that's what I came for." smiled Katherine. "Katherine, get out now. I never want to see your face ever again." said Damon irritatingly. Katherine smiled, put on her clothes and left. Damon ran downstairs to look for Isabel. She wasn't in the house.

Damon ran out of the house to look for Isabel. He spotted her after a few minutes, she was running near a lake, crying. "Isabel wait!" Damon yelled out. Isabel looked back but didn't stop. She continued running forward until she fell off. "Isabel, let me explain." begged Damon as he helped her up.

"No dad. I don't want to talk to you."

"Isabel, please. Give me a chance."

"I don't think so."

"Please, I'm begging you."

"I said no, dad. Do you think it's easy for me to see my dad having an affair with the woman who has been longing to kill my mother way before I was made? Do you think I could just forgive my dad for making out with the only woman I want to kill? The woman who ruined your relationship with your brother? Who broke your heart and is trying to do it again and you're just letting her? No dad. I can't talk to you." said Isabel, crying. She started running again. Damon didn't follow her.

She's right. Damon thought. He went back to the house, devastated.

How could he do this? Of all the other possible mistakes he can make, he made this very mistake. The mistake which is too obvious for you to make. I can't believe this. Isabel sat down, leaned on a tree and cried.

Damon was leaning on the wall near the bedroom, putting both hands in his head. He started to sob and feel so bad. Is this the end? Will she ever even think of me as her dad anymore? Or will she completely forget she even had a dad. Damon sobbed even harder. I've gone soft. I've been falling for things that are too obvious to fall for. What's wrong with me? Damon blamed himself.

Damon went to the kitchen. Staring out the window. He heard a loud noise coming from the bedroom. He went in. "Isabel-"

"Don't even think about talking to me. I'm not staying here anymore. I'm moving to Zac's. I called him and he said he had a spare bedroom. Plus, he's got no parents. He's been taken care of his aunt and uncle ever since he was born. He learned to live on his own, so he got his own house. I guess it fits doesn't it. Us living together, I mean, we both don't have any parents." Isabel finished packing angrily and left. Damon sighed, ran his hands through his hair and stared at one thing that Isabel left. A picture of Damon and her at a friend's wedding. Isabel was wearing a tube, sky blue, sparkly gown while Damon was wearing a white tuxedo.

Isabel ringed the doorbell. Zac opened the door. "Hey." said Isabel. "Come here." said Zac, hugging Isabel, patting her head as tears started to roll down from her eyes.
