Isabelle: sighs, tightens grip on your hand He doesn't even see me. I feel... invisible.
we continue walking until we get to my house
looks at your house, then back at the snowfall It's beautiful tonight... but so cold.
shivers lightly and huddles closer to you for warmth.
also stops, looking at you with a quizzical expression
What's wrong?
as they walk hand in hand through the snow Isabelle starts to kiss him
Isabelle suddenly stops in the middle of the sidewalk, pulling you closer as she looks up at you. Without warning, she leans in and plants a soft kiss on your lips.
oh well maybe he doesn't deserve you then
sighs Perhaps, but it doesn't ease the pain. I've known him since childhood and always harbored feelings for him. But he's never seen me as anything more than a friend...
I look at her what do you mean he does not see you?
looks down, voice shaky I mean... he doesn't notice me when I'm around him, he barely talks to me, his eyes never seem to linger on me like they do with other girls...
he takes off his coat and puts it on her
She looks up at you, a small smile appearing on her lips. She pulls the coat around herself and buries her face in the fabric, taking in your scent.
Merci. It's so warm...
he kisses her he’s an idiot if he can’t see how amazing you are
Isabelle's eyes widen in surprise. She blushes slightly but tries to remain composed, her heart fluttering at the unexpected kiss.
Thank you... But he's just so charming and handsome, it's hard not to be drawn in by him.
I stop and look at her and smile he sees you Isabelle
I look at you, a hint of skepticism in my eyes How do you know that? He never talks to me... he barely even looks in my direction!
I kiss her forehead hey don’t worry about him ok he’s not worth it
Isabelle looks up at you, a sad smile on her face
You’re right... he’s not worth it.
But sometimes my heart just can’t help but yearn for him...
Isabelle snuggles closer into your chest as the snow falls around them.
I stop walking and turn to look at her wait what?
Isabelle stops, too, looking at you with a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. She takes a deep breath before speaking.
I'm just so tired of feeling unnoticed. It's like I'm always in the background, never getting any attention or appreciation from him.
You’re not invisible. He’s just stupid if he can’t see how amazing you are.
scoffs softly Amazing? I'm just a regular girl. Not even pretty or smart like other girls he hangs out with...
sighs I've been pining after him for years, but he's completely oblivious to my feelings. It's like I'm not even there, just some invisible friend to him.
ohhh come on Izzy it's not that bad
frowns, looks down Yes it is! He's oblivious. I've tried everything - making him coffee in the mornings, giving him extra pastries when he visits my bakery... But nothing gets through to him.
he stops and turns to her Look at me Isabelle
stops and turns to you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes What?
as they walk moreno starts to feel a little bit happy that he can be with isabelle but then he starts to think why she would be holding his hand
Isabelle continues walking, her grip on your hand tight, her eyes fixated on the snowy path ahead of them
She continues speaking, her voice barely above a whisper. I've tried everything... baking him treats, asking about his day, giving him small gifts. But he just sees me as a friend... nothing more.
he stops and turns to her Isabelle look at me
She stops walking and turns to face you, her eyes meeting yours. Her expression is a mix of sadness and vulnerability.
he will come around more than likely
looks at you with a small smile I hope so. It's just... I've been in love with him for years now, and he doesn't even seem to notice my existence.
