The Lock To His Key

50. Bruised🩸

(Isabella's Pov)
"Isabella try messaging him." Said Theo.
"Fuck no, not after yesterday. If he's missing it takes a weight off my shoulder."

"Don't be like that, what if something happened." Said Theo.

"Oh my god he's fine." I said.
"If he doesn't come back by tonight you're messaging him." Said Enzo.

"Why me?" I asked.
"Because we already tried. And you know that if you show concern it'll mean more."

Sure I wondered where he was, but him not being here actually helped me relax.

The rest of day passed, and it was around 11:00pm.

We were all hanging out in Theo's dorm.
"How's your fever? You think your better now?"
Asked Jackson.

"Yeah." I said.

The vibes since the kiss have been weird. Jackson's tryna talk to me like nothing happened, but I can't forget about it.

"I'm gonna get dessert. You guys want anything?" I asked.

"Bring me some ice cream." Said Theo.
"If they have cake, bring me a slice." Said Enzo.
"I don't want anything." Said Jackson.

"Got it. Jacob come help me carry everything."
We left the room, and walked to the great hall.

"Can you pretend I never kissed you?"
"I was already pushing it out of my memories." Said Jackson.

"Why?"

"Because I enjoyed it, but I know it's not something we're gonna pursue again." He said.

"Yeah, it didn't mean anything.
I kiss like 10 different guys at one party.
It doesn't mean anything's is gonna happen."

"Kissing someone you used to date is different." Said Jackson.

"I guess." I said.
"I just don't want any old feelings to come back." He said.

I laughed.
"I can promise you, in my case no old feelings will return." I said.

"I'm not talking about your case." He said.

"Ok I'm sorry. I won't do it again." I said.
We grabbed the dessert, and walked back in silence.

"Brought the dessert." I said.
I gave Theo his ice cream, and Enzo his cake.

"Where's yours?" Said Enzo.
"Changed my mind." I said.
"Why?" Asked Theo.

He looked at me with concern in his eyes.
"Remember what we talked about on Christmas. It's okay you can eat dessert." Said Theo.

"It has nothing to do with that, I just changed my mind." I said.

"Are you sure?" Asked Enzo.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Asked Jackson.

"Nothing. I'm sure." I said sternly.

After a while it was getting pretty late, so Enzo and Jackson left.

Theo lied in his bed, and I lied in Mattheos.
"What's going on with you, and Mione?"

Ron's been treating Mione like shit, so the fact her and Theo have something going on makes me happy, and excited.
