      "Who do you think the father is, Mother?!" I manage to choke, hurt and insulted. "Huh? Go ahead! Tell me."
      “Come on, dear. Izzy has only had one boyfriend. We know who the father is," Dad soothes, attempting to quiet her yet it's impossible. When she's raving like this, the best thing to do is sit back and wait until she's finished.

How dare they ask what I’m going to do! My body is physically shaking from anger. My blood is bubbling. I let every one of my feelings and displeasures out and my screams transformed into wails.
    Taking a deep breath to calm the smoldering in my throat. I begin counting in reverse from twenty until I'm totally relaxed. I’ve never taken such an abrasive action towards my parents before. I've generally done what they've inquired. No questions asked, like a decent young lady. I ponder where the boldness to talk up appeared from.

    "Hey Isabelle, it's Xavier. I’m just checking in to see if you’re you're okay. Kyle and Nikki are going insane with worry. If it's not too much trouble let one of us know you're alright."
    How did he get my number and why does he care? He doesn't know anything about me. The heaviness of everything going on has a significance of me. Not having any desire to deal with Xavier or anybody else. I head in the direction of home.
