ISABELLA

I just completed writing all of yesterday's events in my diary. It was the best day of my life, the day that each girl always dreams of, I just had it earlier than normal due to both if our parents orthodox minds, not that any of us mind.

When I was done I walked downstairs to get some breakfast. I saw mum making eggs on the stove. Dad was reading a newspaper at the head of the table. Sam was collecting some cornflakes and milk from the fridge while Allison was lazily popping cashews and almonds in her mouth one after another.

Yesterday was a very tiring day, though they didn't let it show.

I walked right in and grabbed an apple, plopping right between dad and Allison.

Dad said we'd be leaving soon. We were going on a road trip to a nearby town. I thought I should say goodbye to Toby one last time. I walked to our backyard, opened the gate and sneaked into their house.

I saw Mr. And Mrs. Connor gardening, I waved at them and they pointed inside. I gave them a thumbs up and they got back to gardening.

I walked right in like I owned the place and went straight to Toby's room.

Ignoring the "stay out" sign-boards I barged in very unladylike and saw him in deep slumber on his bed, I went and sat next to him, and tried to wake him up.

I shook him up, and he was saying something, more like sleep talking, that was so cute. I went closer to hear what he was saying.

"I love you Isabella. I'll never leave you." He said. I smiled, he'll surely never forget me, nor I, him.

"Wake up Toby!" I shout next to his ears. He barely stirs and shifts his position. He then unconsciously catches my wrist and doesn't let go.

Once I am able to get free myself of his death grip I race to the bathroom, and fill up a bucket of ice cold water.

I chuck it whole at his head. He wakes up with a start shouting my name. When he sees me a mischievous smile makes it's way on his face.

"Isabella why do you always wake me up like that. You know how much I like hugging you. Come here I need your hug!"

"Not today Toby, I'm leaving in some time. We will surely continue this once I'm back, I came here to say goodbye." As soon as he hears this his face drops. Sadness.

"Can you please not go? I don't like having you go so far away. I'll miss you."

"I, myself, do not want to go, but mom says I'm too young to make my decisions. I have a bad feeling about this trip, but I can't do anything about it."

"As long as I get my goodbye hug and kiss." Saying this he smiles evilly, all traces of seriousness gone, he lunges at me and both of us roll on the floor fully wet now.

Once I am able to get him off of me I say, "I actually came here to give you something as a goodbye gift, to take care of while I'm gone, you can return it to me once I am back." Saying this I hand him my dear diary, I don't keep a lock on it as there is nothing that I would ever hide from Toby.

"I will guard this with my life m'lady, I promise you. And I shall return it to you the day you come back." He said trying to copy a weird accent. Key word being "trying".

I was satisfied and relieved. Toby never gave a fake promise. He always completed whatever challenge was given to him.

I heard my father calling for me so I sprinted out of his house, because I knew he wouldn't let me, leave if I stayed any longer in his room.

I changed into a new pair of clothes and entered the living room.

My dad says "Bella see if anything happens to all of us, you get away from there and save your life, after this all my estates and business and house all belongs to you and your sisters. Okay?"

I was afraid at what dad was saying and couldn't form words so I just nodded my head. Someone had been sending threats to us since a few weeks, but we never took it seriously.

We all went out to the car to start off on our trip.

I saw Toby sitting on the porch of his house looking really sad, as soon as he saw me his eyes light up, and he started running towards me.

"Goodbye Isabella, be safe." He said, but it came out as a muffle as his head was in the crook of my neck as he hugged me with all he had. I could hear the hurt in his voice.

"Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it. Goodbye Toby." I assured him but was unsure of it myself. I don't know why but it felt like I was saying goodbye forever.

The nagging voice at the back of my head that told me not to leave but I ignored it. We all got in the car one after another. Allison sat on my right and Sam on Alison's right. I looked out of the window and saw Toby and his brother standing on the road. Watching us leave. I caught Toby's gaze till he was out of sight. I huffed and sat back in my seat.

"You know it's rare to find your soul mate at such a young age. You're really lucky Bella." Said Allison with a tinge of hurt. I merely hummed and gave her a full hearted grin. She returned a small smile but it did not reach her eyes. I instantly knew that some boy had hurt my sister. I would have to talk to her about it when we are alone.

I was admiring the scenery around us a few hours into the trip while most of us are asleep.

The nagging feeling came back strong and that's when I saw it-a huge truck came our way with no one driving it. I looked over at my dad and saw that he was asleep. I panicked, I tried waking everyone up but all of them were in deep slumber as if someone had drugged them. I remembered what Dad had told me and without second thought jumped out of my side of the car.

I rolled and rolled across the concrete but stopped momentarily when my head hit a huge rock, my body had changed its direction and the friction stopped me from rolling further. I was conscious. I suddenly realised what I had done, I left my family to die just because my instinct guided me to. I felt horrible as I saw the car crash into the truck and a loud blast was sounded. I saw the hazy stream of smoke mixing up with the air high above.

My betrayal was the only thing that I thought of as darkness consumed me whole.
