Chapter 20: I’ve had a Bad Life

Isabella's Point of View:

I reached the airport early in the morning the next day. It was still an hour before the flight time, so I was in long lines to pass the security and airline ticket check. My mind was already so polluted by thoughts on where and how I would find my mother — if I would be able to.

And then came the worst part: I really wanted to avoid Achilles at all costs. My trip to Kansas was horrible with Chloe, Matt and him.

Suddenly my phone rang and I was shocked to find the name "Stefan". Seriously? He didn't call me the last two weeks and now he suddenly remembered me when I was leaving?

At 6 in the morning!?

I picked it up.

"Stefan?"

"Oh, it's really you. Hi Isabelle. Are you okay?"

"Am I okay? I should ask that to you. I've tried you several times over the last month, Stefan, what happened?"
