❥❥❥❥Save Me ❥❥❥❥

Morning came quickly and before I knew it I woke up and took a quick shower. Today I decided I wanted to spend my day exploring England for a bit. This is where Lewis will be coming as well.

After my shower, I ended up choosing to wear dark blue skinny jeans, a short-sleeve shirt with a jacket over it to cover my bruises and some old black flats. I did a bun since I didn't want to deal with my long hair today and finally, I applied some foundation, mascara, and black eyeliner along with my cherry chapstick to finish off my daily look.

I made my way downstairs to the kitchen and found my favorite cereal, fruit loops.  I grabbed the white milk from the fridge and poured some into the bowl before pouring in the cereal. When I was done pouring the cereal I realized I didn't have a spoon.

I started looking for a spoon in the cabinets, when I found where the utensils are located I turned around with my spoon to see my bowl of cereal in Justin's hands and him taking bites from it

He's eating my cereal

"Hey! That's my cereal, Justin." I stared wide-eyed.

"Thank you for the breakfast, Isa." He said smirking while he handed the empty bowl that contained no more of my cereal.

After returning from my walk exploring England for a bit
Emma told me we were going shopping. My walk wasn't long due to the fact I do not know where I'm going and I did not want to get lost.

She said that I can use an upgrade and that we can also use a new outfit for tonight's party she was invited to that she can bring anyone she wanted.

Parties were never really my scene
That being I've never been to one

I wasn't a big fan of shopping because I normally would have to undress in front of a mirror when trying on new clothes and I can see my visible bruises, that are still there reminding me of every hit I've received.

Later at the mall

"Oh my gosh, Isa you have to try that dress right now," Emma said pulling a dress from the rack. I turned and saw a black mid-thigh dress with mid selves and I instantly fell in love with.

It will cover them well enough.

I gently grabbed the dress from her hand and nodded my head and stepped right into an empty changing room after waiting in line. I undressed and saw the dark purple and blue bruises all over me, some were a lighter purple and some were even green. I forced my eyes to look down until the dress was on completely because if not I will never stop looking at them. I slid on the dress and instantly fell in love with it again it suited me perfectly the dark color contrasted with my visible pale complexion.

No bruise insight
Perfect

I put on my shoes and walked out to look for Emma who was waiting for me just outside Emma took a while before speaking.

Do I look bad?

"You look amazing like you just step out of a magazine, we should definitely buy it," Emma spoke nodding her head and giving me a thumbs up.

"It's definitely going home with us today."

I did end up buying the dress and a pack of earrings that were on sale. Emma even found a perfect pair of heels to match the dress to make complete the outfit. After several attempts of not trying to convince her to not buy it, she did not take no for an answer and brought the heels for me.

Emma dragged me into Victoria secret a place I always dreaded why to pay so much for a pair of bras and underwear when you can get it for a cheaper price at any other place. I don't know how Emma did it but she convinced me to buy a few new pairs of bras and underwear that were on sale.

We finally came back to the house to see that there were two cars and a motorcycle I have not seen parked before.

"Those are just Justin's friends' cars, it is a game night for them," Emma said as she noticed my confused facial expression.

We walked into the house and I went straight to my room to put everything away and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a New Jersey t-shirt.

Don't judge me I love sweatpants, they are just so comfy and leaves you so much space to fit food when you are eating.

I quickly skipped downstairs and walked to the kitchen to get a snack. I was greeted by a bunch of boys I never seen before but one of the five got my attention, he was the most attractive one there to me, my eyes soon met up with his.

His eyes never left mine

I broke eye contact with him and looked around the table, I then saw a very familiar face.

Lewis 

Say what

I did another double-take that definitely Lewis

"Uh hey, Lewis," I said grabbing a water bottle and a granola bar that had some chocolate pieces in it. "You know Justin?" I asked.

"Hey, Isa, yeah uh Justin is a very old friend of mine," Lewis spoke waving.

Why did he sound nervous?

"Lewis, how do you know Isa?" Justin asked looking at him strangely.

"I went to the same high school with him back in Jersey," I told Justin.

"So Isa you officially moved here to England?" Justin asked as the other guys moved to the living room.

"Yes, I officially moved here," I responded.

"How do you like it so far here Isa, even though you have only been here for a day," Lewis asked me eating an Oreo.

"Uh so far I like it here it's way different environment from New Jersey I'm actually somewhat happy here," I told him honestly.

"Yeah, it's different from New Jersey why weren't you happy in New Jersey?" He asked.

"Umm, nothing I gotta go nicely to see you and nice to meet you ."I smiled and waved at the boys that were in the living room that I didn't get introduced to and made one last eye contact with the attractive guy.

Those memorable blue-green eyes

⫸⫸⫸

"Come on Isa let's get ready." Emma said coming into my room "the party is from 8-12 tonight. The parties here are completely different from those in New Jersey.

This is my first party.

I wouldn't have anything to compare this party too.

"It's a small party so we don't have to wear anything fancy." She said fixing her hair.

I wore some light wash jeans, a black tank top with my black combat boots, and to top it off my fake black leather jacket. I wore my usual makeup and did a high ponytail. I grabbed my phone and a black crossbody bag and waited downstairs for Emma.

Emma came down in a dress and some heels. She looked like a high-class model. Red dress and a pair of black heels and her dark hair was pinned down.

If this isn't a fancy party what will she wear for that then?

We walked out to be greeted by a car I didn't know but Emma knew for sure who it was since she was doing a great job trying to run to it in heels, she was pretty fast to be running in heels that is pure talent.

When we got settled in the car Emma introduced me to her friends Stacey, who had blond hair blue eyes she was a cheerleader and Jennifer, who had light brown hair and brown eyes who was a dancer.

They were all so pretty and then there's me who is feeling so insecure about myself.

"Oh my, Emma she is so gorgeous. You were not kidding," Stacey said.

I'm was confused and my face probably showed it too because Jennifer had to tell me Emma kept on talking about me nonstop about how pretty I am.

"Oh thank you," I said shyly.

"Okay let's get going. We have a party to attend, I heard this one is going to be toned down a bit but it's okay." Stacey screamed and started driving and blasted the music.

I looked everywhere as we drove and memorized the street names.

Once we got to the party the music was blasting from outside people with red cups were walking around everywhere.

It smelled like pure alcohol. I went to the kitchen and found a clean cup and filled it with water from the water gallon connected to the machine that kept it cold.

I don't drink and I don't plan to.

Too many bad memories that I have been associated with people who were drinking.

I walked around the house not knowing who to talk to or where to go. Emma and her friends unknowingly left me to meet other people.

I was so caught up in my thoughts I haven't realized someone sat down next to me on the bench I found in the backyard.

"Hey," I said to the boy next to me.

"Hey, I'm Bobby" he greeted with a bright smile.

"I'm Isa," I responded back nicely.

We talked to each other until the party was over, we learned about each other's favorite music, and hobbies.

I later found the girls drunk out of their mind and I decided to drive back even though I did not have my driver license, I didn't want to risk our lives with the other girls who were drunk. They also decided to have a sleepover.

And let me tell you, the way back home was hard as hell when three drunk girls one who is tired and grumpy, one being a giggling manic screaming on top of her lungs, and the last one who passed out completely having no care in the world.

I woke up early and took a shower deciding what to do today. I head downstairs and no one is awake, everyone is still sleeping. I then decided to make breakfast for everyone when they wake up.

Eggs, bacon, toast, and sausage along with some orange juice that was in the fridge. I got the table ready with drinks set up too.

Everyone came down with a wide smile looking over all the food on the table. We all took a seat and began to all ate making jokes here and there to keep a conversation going.

"Hey, Jennifer do you know any good place to dance where nobody watches?" I asked quietly to her when the others were speaking to each other.

"Yeah, there's a small dance studio they don't mind if you dance there it's around the block." She whispered back.

"Thank you, I just want to dance again," I said.

"No problem girl."

"Yeah, well I'm going to go change hope everyone enjoyed their breakfast," I told the others getting up and placing my plate in the sink where Justin was washing the dishes.

"Thank you, Isa, it was delicious don't be home too late we are going out to pool later as a family," Rob said.

"Um okay bye." But I truly did not want to go, my bruises are going to be out on display if I do.

⫸⫸⫸

I got my phone into shuffle mode once I made it to the empty dance room.

I let my mind free

I dance as if no one was watching. I let my emotions within me drag my body across the dance floor. I danced for the family, I did not have growing up and I danced for the family I was with now, hoping they were better.

I danced as if I was given a second chance at life

I'm out of the old hell house. I want to make a change in my life. I do not want to go back to that house though, I can't go to the pool.

I took very small steps back but this being around the block it didn't take that long.
I reached the house in a couple of minutes took a shower threw on my bathing suit under a sweatshirt and pulled in some shorts.

I grabbed a towel just for my feet since that is the closest I will get to the water. Not only because of my bruises but I can't swim.

I can't swim

I met up with everyone outside, they were already in the pool and chatting with each other with music in the back. Rob and Sam were by the grill making burgers and hot dogs. I sat back at the table and watched.

This is what it feels like to be a family

"Isa come on, get in," Emma told me as she swam closer to the edge. But I shook my head and declined her suggestion she then whispered something in Justin and one of his friend's ear and quietly they came to me and picked me up and did not listen to my shouts of "put me down" but it was too late they threw me in the deep side of the pool.

I couldn't exactly reach the floor

I couldn't swim

I flapped my arms and tried to reach above, but again it was too late.

I drowned.
