Beep, beep, beep.... Beep, beep, beep.... Beep beep, beep..... That annoying alarm clock, I set it for 9am today to start my routine, after I go rollerblading I'll be going to the gym to start my training for the day. I'm a gymnasts and I'm training for nationals and then hopefully the Olympics. Arrrgggg. I opened my sleepy eyes slowly. Rubbed the sleep away and got dressed into my black yoga pants and tank top with purple roses and black skull on it. I pulled my long black hair that reaches just above my waist into a pony tail. Grabbed my phone and headphones, along with a dark purple hoodie that also has a skull on it, and an energy drink. I was sitting on my front steps fastening my rollerblades. I was selecting my playlist to listen to on my phone when I noticed a moving truck along with the new family moving in next door. I was putting on my sunglasses and hoodie on, while placing my phone in the side pocket on my yoga pants, when the voices next door drew my attention. It was the deep chuckle of a guy that looks about my age.

I'm 17, in case I didn't mention it

He is the definition of hot with dark hair that's short along the sides and the top is longer falling into his eyes. I can't see what color eyes he has yet, since he's too far away to see. But he's tall, somewhere between 6ft and 6.5 ft. He's laughing at something a little girl said, who has the same color hair as he does, while unloading some boxes from the moving truck. 'izzabella quit staring at him before he notices you looking at him' my mind kept telling me. So I decided I should get up off the front porch and start rollerblading. I put my Bluetooth grey skull headphones on to block out the world as I skate past our new neighbors house. That's when I felt eyes on me, his eyes. I looked over to where I felt the eyes coming from, and seen the most beautiful ocean blue eyes staring back at me. He was wearing black jeans that hung loosely on his hips, a short sleeve tight fitting black t-shirt that clinged to his well defined torso and biceps. To finish off his look he was wearing black combat boots, the definition of the badboy look. Of course he's looking at me with a smirk on his beautiful face. I think he must have noticed that I was checking him out a few minutes ago. I turned my head back straight and sped off on my rollerblades before I end up making a fool of myself. I shouldn't even be checking out the new neighbor, I have a boyfriend. And if he finds out I was so much as looking in the direction of another guy he'd definitely make me suffer. Just that thought of what Travis would do to me makes me shudder. I'm still healing from the last beating he gave me 4 days ago. Travis thought I was flirting with another guy when we were getting something to eat at the local diner. When all I was doing was ordering my food. I really wish he'd just trust me. But no, as soon as we got into his car after we ate that day, he grabbed my hair and slammed my head into the dashboard. Then he started punching me in my stomach, thighs, and arms. The bruises are almost gone now. But I had to postpone my work outs and gymnastic practices for a couple days. Luckily it's the summer and haven't started school back up yet. Otherwise his jealousy would be even worse. He tells me that no one will want me, that I'm not very pretty, fat, and I should just give up on being a gymnast since I'm not very good at it. We've only been dating for 2 months now, and he already changed from being sweet and complementing me all the time, to being controlling and abusive. I really should just tell my brothers or my friends but he always threatens to kill me if I tell anyone. 'oh, great... Now I'm crying' I said to myself. I just need to stop thinking about Travis right now and continue with my rollerblading. It always relaxes me and helps me forget about my problems. Besides once I get back home I'll have to get ready to go to the gym. My dad owns the biggest local gym in town. It even has a gymnastics training area, just so that I can train there. I was on my way back home when I got a text from my oldest brother Zack. He's 21 and in the military. He is 6'3" tall with black hair and green eyes. Very well built, and very protective over me. Well all my brothers are, I guess that's what happens when you are the only girl with 4 brothers. I pulled out my phone to check the text.

　　Zack- Hey Lil sis, I'm on my way home. Be there in about 20 minutes. So you better be back by then.

　　Me- Don't worry, I'm almost home now. Can't wait to see you, I've really missed you Z. See you soon. As I was approaching our house I looked over at the new neighbors house. Well they look like they still have a long way to go. I made it to our driveway and sat down on the grass next to the driveway to take off my rollerblades. My second oldest brother was working on his Camaro. His name is Oliver and he's 18 with bright blue eyes and chocolate brown hair. He's also well built and is 6'2" tall. "Hey Ollie, how's your Camaro coming along?" I asked my brother. " It's coming along great Izzy. It should be ready in a couple weeks" he told me with a huge grin on his face. " I see we got new neighbors, and it looks like you've got an admirer. Have you met them yet?" He asked me with a mischievous smirk on his face. " Nope, can't say I have. And what's with that smirk on your face?" I asked. " Well it looks like we're about to meet, he's walking over this way now!" Ollie said as he chuckled. " What???" I said as my eyes widened in shock. Ollie just laughed some more before our new neighbor approached us. "Hey, I figured I should introduce myself since we just moved in next door. I'm Nathaniel." he said as he held out his hand to my brother. " Hey man, I'm Oliver, but my friends call me Ollie." my brother said as he shook his hand. " And this is my little sister, Izzabella. Or you can call her Izzy or Bella.' I just nodded my head in his direction. " Well Ollie, I'm going inside to let the twins know that Zack is on his way here. He said he'll be here soon." I said to my brother. Then I looked at Nathaniel and said," See ya". I really needed to get inside before I get lost in those beautiful ocean blue eyes of his and start staring at him. I walked inside the house towards the living room where the twins were sitting on the couch playing video games. " Jayden and Aiden, just so you know Zack is almost here." They both looked over to me and nodded. I walked up the stairs and into my room. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a pair of white jean shorts that reach mid thigh and a black tank top with a glow in the dark skull on it. Then walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Once I was done showering and putting on my clothes. I walked into my bedroom with a towel wrapped around my hair. I dried my hair and brushed it. Put on my makeup and picked out a pair of platform black sandals that have a crisscross design across the front over the toes. I painted my toe nails black and once they were dry I put on my sandals. Then I headed down stairs with my phone in my back pocket and my headphones around my neck, with my white sunglasses on top of my head.
