Dancing with the Devil✔️

Chill

I exactly knew that voice. I felt butterflies and suddenly nervous. I swirled around to see Xavier.

"I was hungry so I decided to look for food," I said abashedly lowering my head down. I suddenly heard footsteps approaching me raising my anxiety higher. 

"When I'm talking to you, look at me in the face!" He spat dangerously and I nodded in understanding. "That's not where the human food is, it's right over there," He said pointing to a small fridge over to the left. 

How did I not see that?? Gosh, I may start to get old nowadays.

"Thank you," I muttered going to the fridge and picking at the food of my choice." I turned over to see Xavier observing me firmly like I was a show. "Please stop staring!" I told  myself. But he didn't listen but continued staring. 

This was very uncomfortable. How can I cook when I have some freak watching everything I do now. To ease the tense away, I decided to start a conversation.

"How was your day?" I questioned him while I take out a pot to cook. "Stressful" He simply said.

When I noticed that the conversation was getting odd and boring I decided to keep shut and cook my dinner. I miss cooking a lot. 

After I was done, I grabbed an orange juice and poured one for my self and went to the dining to eat. "What were you doing when I was gone?" He suddenly asked me as I took a bit from my salad. I munched the food slowly not wanting to choke on the salads.

"Watching horror movies with Noah" I admitted and he chuckled.

He just chuckled. 

"You spent your day with that old annoying butt head?" He asked. That was when I couldn't control it. I burst out laughing that I almost choked heavily on my salad.

"What's funny?" Xavier asked. His voice suddenly becomes cold and harsh.

"I'm sorry. Butt head?" I said not even thinking straight.

"You're beautiful when you smile Bella" He whispered but I heard him. I  stopped laughing and stared at him focusing on his eyes.

"What did you say?" I asked him tucking a strand of hair behind my ears.

"Nothing." He said and started going away. I stared at him as he walked away leaving me confused and shocked. I smiled at myself as I recalled his words.

"You're beautiful when you smile Bella" 

I took my plate to wash it and walked up to my room bolting it for concealment. I picked up my phone and unlocked it. When the phone was turned on, I started downloading some apps like Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and WhatsApp. 

When downloading, I started thinking about Blair and Casey. I wonder what happened to them when I was gone. School? Teachers and friends. Most especially Blake.

I sighed as I ran my hands through my hair frustrated to even think about it. 

!!!

I got it! I still remember their number I can still call them and stalk them on their social pages. Thank goodness of my old wacky brain. 

I logged into the apps and search their name. When it finally came a list of some people named Casey and Blair. I scrolled down looking for their name and I finally saw it.

Casey had a profile picture with a boy of her age in the background and Blair with her mother. I smiled happily at the picture and tapped it looking for their last activity which was  50 minutes ago. I pressed 'Follow' and messaged them. 

Not too long, I got a text from Blair.

Blair- Who's this?

A tear escaped my eyes. I miss them so much. Their craziness and smart jokes.

Isabella- It's Isabella

2 minutes later, I got a text.

Blair- Which Isabella?

Isabella- Andrew

Blair- O my goodness. Are you the one. No, you're fake and a hypocrite.

I was about typing when a video call popped into my screen from Blair and Casey. She created a group chat. I tapped on Answer and I was talking to them face to face. Well, not face to face but the screen to screen.

"Are you the one? Am I growing old?" Blair asked surprised and confused. Her voice was filled with pain, emotion, anger, happiness, love, compassion, friendliness and much more joy. They were the one I could call my family and smile with. They were the ones who helped through thick and thin, they were the ones I would always go to when I was angry or being a dumb asshole. I love them.

"You're not. It's me. Isabella Andrew. Your best friend." I replied at her funny comment. I looked at Casey who was now crying silently and trying to cover her eyes from shame and joy. "I understand and owe you guys an apology and explanation," I said to Casey and she smiled.

"You don't owe us anything. We owe you one. We thought you were dead or ran away from school or home or something. We called the police and filed a case on your situation. You were even put on the Tv. Hashtag: #Themissinggirl."

I was on the Tv?? How didn't I know? O my gosh, I see the reason why Tv was not seen in this house.

"Where are you and why are you fat?" Blair asked and I sulked. 

Am not fat. I could never be fat. I don't even eat much.

"Just kidding. But seriously, where are you?" She asked and I knew this was gonna be a long long conversation.

...

"That little dumbass. How could do all those stuff to you? " Blair says after explaining what happened. It's currently 8:00 Pm and I just told them what happened to me for the past 4 months living here. It finally felt like I was home talking to my friends but only the difference was the surroundings/environment. I liked talking to them but fear was also tangled inside of me. What will happen if Xavier knows I'm talking to them?? Will he snatch the phone given to me?

Who does that? As far as I know, this phone is going nowhere.

"I don't know. But we're friends now." I said sarcastically scratching my neck. I don't know what to tell them. He's been nice to me... That's how it seems.

I haven't gotten any punishment since then and I'm extremely thankful for that.

"Anyway, I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight" I said and the video call was dropped. I laid flat on the bed looking up at the ceiling while thoughts wandered through my mind. It's late now and what I just wanted to do was to sleep tight and serene on this bed. But first, I had to brush my teeth and take my bath. 

I undressed and entered into the cool water while I relaxed in it. Honestly, I can spend my life in the bathtub if I had to. I'm beginning to stay relaxed and enjoy the peaceful moment when the timer played waking me from my trance. I brushed my teeth and washed my face after that, i changed into my pj's after brushing my hair and putting it in a messy bun. I sat on my bed facing the opened window listening to some soft music on SoundCloud. Soon afterwards, i sailed to the dreamworld.

I love you mom.

I love you Dad.

I love you Johnson.

Goodnight.

Goodnight Xavier.
