IAN'S POV

When she stepped out of the shower I tried my hardest not to look. Not in a sexual way, just to make sure she was doing okay, that she wasn't just skin and bones anymore and she was doing as she said she would and getting help, getting better. 

I took Indie's clothes off of her before taking her to Isabella who showered her. It felt wrong doing things together like we had been recent. I felt like this had passed for us and we'd never get the chance, or I'd never get the chance but Isabella has been so mature about the whole situation. And when she told me we were friends I thought it was just something she was saying, that she didn't believe it, something we'd tell the media to get them off our backs. But I think she meant it. 

"Can you grab her some PJ's?" She asked but then Indie started moaning for me so she went to get her some. 

Eventually, we got Indie to bed. "You want to stay tonight?" She asked as she cleaned up from making Indie a bottle. "Spear rooms free so you don't even have to share with me." She teased. "Yeah, probably best for the two of us to be with her. She's in a mood." "Wonder where she gets it from." She joked and I pushed her as she passed me at the Island. "Just saying." She laughed to herself. "Do you need to check on the horses or anything?" She asked. "You can take the car. Or I can go." I checked the time it was only 6. We did well getting Indie to bed so earlier, she must have needed it. I'm just hoping she doesn't wake up too early tomorrow. 

"You can go see them, if you, want," I tell her she smiled at me. She doesn't come over to the house as much but when she does she goes to see the horses and she plays with the dogs for a while. "Thanks." 

Whilst she was gone I did the laundry for her, it was already in the machine I just had to add the detergent and press go. I laid on the sofa until she came back. "How were they?" I asked. "Okay." She was being quiet. "What's up?" She shook her head. "Elle?" "Tired." She tells me before going upstairs. I sighed, turning the tv off and going up to her bedroom. "Elle?" I said before opening the door. 

"What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Something is, you were fine before you left." "Nothing." She said innocently climbing into bed. "Night Ian." "Night Elle," I say kissing her cheek before leaving. That girl goes through huge mood swings and the problem is she never tells me what causes it. 

I laid down in bed and tried to forget about it but I couldn't so I went back into her room without knocking, she was laid in bed glasses on hair in a messy bun looking at her phone screen completely absorbed by it. "Talk to me," I say sitting on the corner of the bed. 

She just handed me her phone. 

@EaBellafan: If love, like there's, is dead what hope do the rest of us have

@EaBellafan: If love, like there's, is dead what hope do the rest of us have. They've gone from best friends to strangers. They're the couple that danced in the rain, met the expectations of crazy romance novels, they were a crazy romance novel and now they nothing. I'm going to get hate for saying this but since they've split I feel like they've both lost themselves. They've changed as people. Neither of them is happy. No one can argue that they are. Ian went to rehab for alcoholism and Isabella looks like she's dying, literally wasting away. They were each other heartbeats, they were each other reasons to hold on and keep living and I feel like they have both given up on themselves. Yes, they have their daughter and they're both amazing parents. But their baby is the only thing that's keeping them both from jumping headfirst into self-destruction mode. They needed each other, they were soulmates. And everyone is speculating what has happened but the facts are clear, they're both unhappy without one another in their lives. I just wish they would get back together and start setting unrealistic expectations of love again. I miss Isabella's lives, of them and I miss Ian's appreciation post for his WIFE because she'll always be his wife no matter what happens. I miss them being goofy and loud, I miss them being cute. I miss their romantic gestures, I miss them house back riding. I miss their pointless bickering on Twitter that we all knew was them attempting to annoy one another because they had that fun young love. I don't want either of them to lose themselves anymore, I'm worried that they'll be nothing of them left.
