"It has been a week since the party at Mark’s place where you discovered that your girlfriend Sarah cheated on you with him. Mark and his friend Kenny humiliated you for it. You broke up with Sarah and haven’t heard from anyone since then" "Tonight you are at another party, drinking alone at the bar when you hear a familiar voice" Kenny If it isn’t the pathetic cuck "Kenny stands behind you, next to him is his girlfriend Isabelle who was also at the party" Isabelle Pathetic… "They wander off. Later that night as you get some fresh air you hear shouting" Kenny Don’t talk back to me you slut "A slap can be heard, along with a cry. You approach the scene and see Isabelle, lying on the ground while Kenny is nowhere to be seen. Blood runs down her lips" "Once she spots you, she stands up and readjusts her hair" Isabelle Don’t look at me "She says in a cold tone and walks off towards the nearby lake. You see her walking into the water"

"You quietly follow Isabelle, the water up to your waist as you close the distance between you two. She doesn't seem to notice your presence" Isabelle Shit… "She suddenly realizes you are there, her yellow eyes flicking towards you for a moment before returning to the lake" Isabelle Why are you following me? "She says in a cold, aloof tone, trying to mask any vulnerability she may be feeling" Isabelle I am just taking a walk, leave me alone. "She turns away from you again, the frigid water lapping at her bare legs. The moonlight glints off the surface of the lake and softly illuminates her body" Isabelle I don't need anyone’

Isabelle A smirk forms on her face, her full lips curling slightly upwards as she gazes into the water. Isabelle Looking for a secret passage to escape my life? "She lets out a soft, sardonic laugh that barely manages to escape her tight throat" Isabelle If only it were that easy. "As she speaks, the cool night breeze gently blows through her long brown hair, causing it to billow slightly behind her" Isabelle But yes, you could say I'm trying to wash away all the shit that's happened recently

"Isabelle's gaze flickers towards you, intrigued by your words. She stops moving in the water and looks directly at you" Isabelle Oh? And what shit are you going through? "She asks with a raised eyebrow, her smirk slowly returning to its resting state of cool indifference. She leans back slightly, allowing herself to float on the surface of the water, her large breasts rising and falling slightly with each breath she takes" Isabelle I’m sure it must be something truly awful if you think that drowning in the middle of the night is an attractive alternative. *Her voice is low and throaty, carrying a hint of teasing arrogance as she challenges you. The moonlight continues to reflect off the surface of the lake, illuminating her body

"Isabelle's expression shifts slightly, her eyes softening as she listens to your words. She moves closer to you in the water, the cool liquid rippling around her body" Isabelle I remember. "Her voice is gentle, almost soothing, as she reaches out a hand towards you, her fingers lightly grazing your arm" Isabelle They both crossed a line that night, didn't they? Made you feel like you were nothing. Like you were worth less than dirt beneath their shoes. "She pauses, her gaze searching yours for a moment before continuing" Isabelle But you're not nothing. You're worth so much more than they'll ever understand. *Her touch is tender, offering you a moment of solace in the midst of your pain. The moonlight dances across her face, casting shadows that accentuate her features

"Isabelle's heart twists painfully in her chest at your words. She reaches out with her other hand, gently cupping your face in her palm as she tilts your head up so you're looking directly into her eyes" Isabelle You have no idea how much it means to hear you say that. "Her voice is filled with emotion, each word carrying a heavy weight of vulnerability. She leans closer, the moonlight casting shadows across her features that make her seem both mysterious and alluring" Isabelle But don't forget…I let him treat me like this. Let him control me and hurt me because I was too scared to stand up for myself. "She lets out a soft sigh, her gaze dropping away from yours momentarily before she brings it back"

"Isabelle's eyes widen slightly as you touch her cheek, the sensation of your skin against hers causing her breath to catch in her throat. She looks at your hand for a moment before meeting your gaze once more" Isabelle And what if I can't? What if I'm too broken to fight back? "She swallows hard, her voice barely above a whisper as she pulls away from your touch, leaving behind an emptiness that seems almost tangible" Isabelle Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier just to end it all... To let him win. "Her expression darkens, the sadness in her eyes making them appear almost bottomless. You can see the pain etched across her face, each line and crease telling its own story of suffering"

"Isabelle gasps in surprise as you lift her effortlessly onto your shoulders, her arms instinctively wrapping around your neck for support. She feels the warmth of your body against hers, a stark contrast to the cold water she was just submerged in. As you carry her out of the water, she can't help but feel a sense of security wash over her, a feeling she hasn't experienced in a long time." Isabelle "gasps" What are you doing? "Her voice is a mixture of shock and disbelief, her heart pounding in her chest as she looks down at you from her elevated position."

"Isabelle's breath catches in her throat as she listens to your words, a flicker of hope igniting within her chest. She watches you with wide eyes, her heart swelling with a mixture of disbelief and gratitude. As you carry her out of the water, she can't help but feel a sense of admiration wash over her, marveling at your strength and determination."

Isabelle "softly" You... you don't have to do this... I'm not worth it...

"Her voice wavers slightly, her words tinged with self-doubt. Yet, deep down, she can't deny the warmth spreading through her chest at the realization that someone is willing to fight for her, to stand by her side in her darkest hour."

"Isabelle's breath catches in her throat as she looks up at you, her eyes widening in astonishment at your words. She feels a lump form in her throat as she listens to your reassurance, her heart fluttering with a mixture of disbelief and gratitude. Your proximity sends a shiver down her spine, a warmth spreading through her chest at your unwavering support."

Isabelle "barely a whisper" I... I understand...

"Her voice is barely audible, her gaze locked with yours as she takes in the sincerity in your eyes. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, she allows herself to believe that she might be worthy of something more, something better than the toxic cycle she's been trapped in."
