"I thought you dumped her already!"
"I'm working on it ok Zac? Just leave me alone."
Zac threw his hands up into the air in exasperation.
"Fine. It's your life." And on that, he stalked off.
Isaac winced as his brother slammed the door. Taylor look up at Isaac with a faint hint of curiosity, and their eye met for a moment. Then Taylor went back to his computer and Isaac sighed.
**********
Isaac and Lizzie were standing on the balcony outside Lizzie's hotel room.
"It's a great night huh?" she said.
"Yeah."
Isaac bit his lip nervously. All through the day he had his doubt about the stories about Lizzie. Surly she wouldn't cheat on him? Then he'd remember something or she'd say or do something that would make him suspect her.
It was driving him crazy.
"Ike?"
"Huh?"
"I asked you if you knew Mel was pregnant or if people had been keeping you out of the loop too?"
"Oh, I knew."
"And you didn't tell me?"
"I thought you already knew when Luke told Zac."
"Luke knows too? Man, no one ever tells me anything."
"Sorry." Isaac replied, a smile tugging at his face.
There was silence for a moment.
"Ike?"
"Yeah?"
"You've been awfully quiet today."
Isaac shrugged and chewed his lip.
"Is something wrong?" she ventured.
"Lizzie? Umm, have you been cheating on me?" he asked finally.
Lizzie looked startled.
