A few days later....

It's been a few days and they've really been chill days. I woke up and went to downstairs and saw Noel eating cereal. I went down and sat by her and we just talked about random and funny things. After a while, I saw Isabella come down the stairs with her cereal bowl. The boys and us planned on hanging out today. So I called over to Isabella.

Isabella: Yes?

Mia: Um..we just want to know if you would wanna come with us to meet up with the boys

Isabella: Oh, actually I'm pretty busy right now. Aunt Skye wants me to babysit Alexa, Riley, and Gabe.

Noel: That's totally fine. Gives me more time with Mia

We both smiled and did the Why Don't We handshake that we learned. Isabella went back upstairs. About 15 minutes later, Noel and I were ready to leave.

Mia: Isabella we're leaving. Have fun babysitting

Noel and I got into an Uber and we headed to the hotel the boys were at. We got to their room and got settled. As I was scrolling on my phone, I got a message from Daniel.

Daniel and I left and headed to the mall. Noel was just playing games with the boys and I could trust her. Around 7pm, I get back to the hotel and see Noel eating pizza with everyone else.

Mia: Noel, we gotta get going

Noel: But why?

Mia: We have family to get back to. Like Isabella.

Zach: How is she by the way?

Mia:....Fine. If there was something wrong, she would tell you

As Noel is getting her things, Jacque and Ashley walk into the room.

Jacque: Oh Zach, where is your little girl?

Zach: Isabella?

Jacque: Yeah..her

Mia: Babysitting

Ashley: Aww that sucks. Will you guys be back tomorrow

Mia: I don't know

Jacque: Well, you should be getting home

Mia: Yeah..Noel, lets go

Noel grabs her stuff and we get an Uber back home. When we get home, I go up to Isabella's room to check on her but she wasn't there. I saw a piece of paper on her bed. It said:

"I'm leaving..by myself. Noel is meant to stay here and she is happier. She doesn't want a sister who has cancer. She wants someone perfect like Mia. Don't come looking for me

                          -Isabella"

I immediately grabbed my phone and started to call Zach.

Zach: Hello?

Mia: Isabella is gone!!

Zach: What?!

Mia: She....left a letter and she isn't here anymore. I don't know where she could be or anything. Zach..what do I do?

Zach: I don't think she could've gone far. Flights are going back anywhere for a while

Mia: Well then where is she?!

Zach: Me and Daniel are heading over right now. Don't do anything

Zach hangs up and and 15 minutes later, they arrive. Noel was asleep and didn't know any of this

Daniel: Is Noel asleep

Mia: Yes. I don't know where she is. All of her stuff is gone

Zach: Is she answering her texts?

Mia: Nope

Daniel: Why would she..I don't understand

I was reading the letter she left. Zach noticed I was and grabbed it from me.

Mia: Zach....

Zach reads it and his jaw drops.

Zach: She has cancer?

Mia: She doesn't know if there is a cure

Daniel: Mia...I'm so sorry

Zach: I don't want her to die. I'm starting to like her....

Daniel: Did you know?

Mia: I find out a couple days ago

Zach: But...why didn't she tell me

Mia: She wanted to..she just couldn't. Do you guys wanna spend the night?

Daniel and Zach: Yeah..

Mia: You can take the other guest room. Daniel can sleep with me

Zach: Thanks. Imma head off

Mia: Night

Zach heads off and Daniel follows me to my room. We both sit on the bed.

Daniel: Remember when I was in here last time?

Mia: Yeah...not happening tonight. It's been a long day

Daniel: Tomorrow?

Mia: I'll think about it

With that, I went to bed wondering where Isabella was and if she was okay. I didn't wanna tell Noel or anyone else. Daniel got into bed and we cuddled. We eventually fell asleep.
