Isabella's POV
I shivered as I tried to hold onto Manny's gaze, but it was just impossible because I stupidly went to kiss him and totally complicated our relationship.
So now that I am standing so close to him, I am shivering like a little schoolgirl not even knowing what to say.
” I am not avoiding you," I whispered and Manny rolled his eyes.
“ Well, 3 days hiding in your room is totally saying a different thing to me," Manny let out with a smirk on his face.
“ Fine you are. Right, I am avoiding you," I stated as I squared my shoulders, looking up at him.
“ Ouch, that hurts my feelings, but why does it seem like it has anything to do with the fact that you kissed me," Manny said.

She was like an angel, she appeared, and then she disappeared for a while.And even though we live in the same house, we were like strangers to each other.You know I willed myself every day not to go to her room, where she hides every day, just to see her, but I kept on telling myself that this was what she wanted, and seeing me would just make it worse.So even though I was dying to see her, to kiss those lips of hers again, and feel her skin under my touch once again, I knew I just couldn't.Getting up from my bed, I allowed my thoughts to run wild.

I don't know father, it is left to Xavier to prove me wrong,'' I let out as I continued to stare at Xavier.Xavier was quiet for a while and still didn't know why, and honestly, I couldn't take it anymore.'' What is this Xavier, why are you not saying anything,'' I yelled.'' What do you want me to say, when you have already made up your mind that I am stealing from you,'' Xavier let out.''

Xander's POV Days had passed by since the talk I had with my father, and ever since then, his words have remained in my mind, like an initial carved into a tree. His words were all I could hear when working when sleeping and even in my dreams, his words were everywhere in my mind. '' Love is not for people like us'' His words had me so worried, making me wonder if my father was right, wondering if I was so damaged and beyond repair, and no one would ever love me. Wondering if Bella could ever love a damaged man like me and whether she was better off without me, and I should not be hoping for something that would never happen. Breathing out heavily, my Dad's words continued to hover around in my mind, as I tried to focus on work again because that was all I did nowadays. I try to focus on work just to get my mind off things. Sometimes it works, but sometimes my mind just wande

Why is my restaurant empty,'' I asked, whispering to my father as I stopped him in his tracks,'' I thought we needed the privacy, so I cleared the restaurant out for the evening,'' My dad whispered back and I scoffed.''
