Taking It Out

                                    

                                          
Jake's POV
                          
Something was going on with Izzy, as she seemed like she didn't want to talk to anyone, not even me. She wasn't even up yet. She's always the first ones to be waking up before me and Cubby.
                          
"Izz. Izz. Izz...wake up..." I whispered into her ear while gently shaking her shoulder.
                          
I was sitting down next to her on her bed.
                          
"No...I don't feel like getting up. I don't belong here." Izzy groaned as she pulled her duvet over her while I looked at her, confused. 
                          
"What do you mean that you don't belong here?" I asked her, as she snapped at me as she sat up.
                          
"Don't you get it Jake?? Nobody needs me, not even you! I don't want to be seen. I don't want anyone to notice me." Izzy exclaimed as she pushed me off her bed.
                          
I was shocked as she never does that. I was wondering if it was her time of the month or if I made her mad. Did someone else make her angry and she's taking it out on me?
                          
"What's with you, lately? Are you on your period?" I asked her as I stood up.
                          
"Nothing. I'm not on my period. It's just something you wouldn't understand. Maybe, you don't even want me!" Izzy yelled at me as she got out of bed and shoved me out of the way, when she left the room.
                          
I stood there shocked. I need her. I walked down to the kitchen and saw Izzy sitting there in the kitchen, eating cereal and not talking to Cubby or Skully. They were looking at her with concern as she was just staring the table. 
                          
After she was done with her cereal, she placed her bowl in the sink and went back upstairs. I sat down next to Cubby and Skully.
                          
"Jake, what's wrong with Izzy? She's not acting like herself." Cubby asked me as I sighed.
                          
"I don't know. I tried asking her what was wrong and she pushed me off her bed." I exclaimed while they looked at me, in shock.
                          
"That's unlike her. Is she on her period?" Cubby asked me.
                          
"Nope but something is making her act this way." I exclaimed.
                          
"Is she mad and she's taking her anger out on you?" Cubby asked me.
                          
"I don't know. I don't even know what I've done wrong for her to be acting like this." I exclaimed.
                          
Izzy's POV
                          
I was lying down on my bed, really upset. I was taking my anger out on Jake because Marina told me not to talk to him. I felt a piece of paper hit my head as it was flew in through the window.
                          
'Stay away Jake. He will never love you like he loves me.' I read on what Marina wrote. I felt tears come to my eyes as another piece of paper hit my head.
                          
'You're too ugly. Your laugh is horrible. Your eyes are too dull. Your hair is a pathetic mess. No wonder that Jake is only pretending to love you.' I read more what she said.
                          
I started to cry more as I heard a knock on the door.
                          
"Izz? Are you okay? I can hear you crying. Please answer me, I'm really worried about you. Look I don't know what's going on with you but you can tell me. I know you haven't been acting like yourself ever since you pushed me off your bed, when you yelled at me." Jake exclaimed as he was trying to get me to open up to him.
                          
"Go away Jake! I don't want to talk to you! Of course you don't know what's going on with me! You're not experiencing the pain that I'm feeling! I'm fine! Thanks for asking! Just leave me alone!" I screamed at him as I allowed the tears to fall as I heard footsteps moving away from the door.
                          
I put my head in between my knees as I started to cry my heart out. I needed him but I just keep pushing him away.
                          
Jake's POV
                          
After Izzy screamed at me, I went downstairs to watch TV. 
                          
"Hey Jake, we heard it all." Cubby exclaimed as I sighed.
                          
"Every time I try to help her, she just keeps pushing me away from her. I feel like I've done something wrong." I exclaimed, feeling guilty.
                          
"No Jake, you haven't done anything wrong. Izzy is just going through something and we need her to take her time to tell us. She'll come to you, eventually. She always comes to you first." Skully exclaimed as I smiled, slightly.
                          
"I just want her to be okay." I exclaimed.
                          
"We do too. We just need her to come to us, eventually." Cubby exclaimed.
                          
"But I feel like I have to ask her that question. I don't like seeing her like this." I exclaimed.
                          
"We all don't Jake. We all want our bubbly Izzy back." Cubby exclaimed as I want my Izzy back not this moody Izzy.
                          
"Are you definitely sure she's not on her period? She might be having bad mood swings." Skully exclaimed.
                          
"I'm sure. I track her periods on the calendar." I exclaimed.
                          
"I wish there was something that we could do." Cubby exclaimed.
                          
Izzy's POV
                          
I went into the bathroom as I like sitting in the bath, with no water, when I'm this upset. I usually come to Jake but I really need to be by myself, no matter how much it causes me to start stressing about Marina.
                          
As I was sitting in the bath, I felt a piece of paper hit my head. How does she know where I'm in the hideout?
                          
I opened it up and I started to read it.
                          
'You smell. No wonder that Jake doesn't love you. He doesn't want to be with a smelly girl that has OB like you. Go and take a bath.' 
                          
As I read it, I started to cry even more.
                          
I wish she would leave me alone.
