Summary: While Izzy is upset about her breakup with Owen, she also realizes that she has no friends. Someone will talk to her, I wonder what will happen? A sweet fic that I just wrote :))
It was a typical night. All the girls - Courtney, Gwen, Bridgette, Dakota, Sierra, Dawn, Betty - were having a great time outside the cabin. Gwen had lit a fire and then all the girls started chatting to each other. Dakota was talking about fashion, Courtney was talking about her plans for the future, and Bridgette was talking about how much fun surfing was. Overall, all the girls were happy... except for one...
Izzy had really bothered the girls to a certain point but on the other hand she was still very upset about her breakup with Owen but on the other hand there was no one to comfort her because she hadn't made any friends while she was on the island. They weren't competing right now because Chris had let them hang out with each other for a few days.
Izzy was sitting on a log playing with a stick of dynamite. She wanted to say "Boom-Boom!" but she was too upset to say it.
Then Betty noticed someone was missing. She turned around and saw Izzy sitting sadly on the log.
Betty told the girls that she was going to check on someone. The girls agreed and continued their conversation.
Betty walked over to Izzy, who was a few steps away.
"Hey Izzy, are you okay?" Betty asked.
Izzy looked at him and decided to tell him the truth instead of lying to him because there wasn't much honesty in her life since she lived a life full of lies.
"Not really," Izzy said.
Betty saw the bombs under the log. She was surprised at first but then realized they were fake. She then turned to Izzy.
"Is this about… someone?" Betty asked.
"It's kind of like that. I mean, it's a really sad thing when a three-season romance ends so suddenly."
"I know, right? Well, it was kind of a good thing for me because I got to have that reddy centipede back with Mike when she broke up with him," Betty replied.
"Yours is different, Betty. Mine is more of a... how should I put it... I feel like I've lost a bunch of friends more than a relationship," Izzy said, her words straining.
"Ohh, can you explain in more detail?" Betty asked interestedly.
"So like, when Owen and I broke up, no one comforted me and everyone was upset with me from the first few seasons and even Noah and Eva didn't comfort me," Izzy admitted.
Betty was going to say something but Izzy kept talking because she knew what she was going to say.
"They're not here and all, but they could've at least called. I also feel like we're not even friends with them. After all, I used them to win the million dollars and all, but still... sometimes I want to have friends. I don't want a contestant friend, I want a real friend. Even when my acting career started, I couldn't have a real friend, even here, no one hangs out with me..."
Izzy sighed.
"I think I'll say goodbye to life alone..."
Betty looked sad for Izzy. Betty was one of the new contestants and despite her shy personality, she had managed to make friends with many people and even had a boyfriend. Betty saw herself in Izzy for a moment and then held her hand.
"I can be your friend." Betty said smiling at the crazy girl.
Izzy was surprised and blushed a little.
"Really? I mean, you're not just saying that to comfort me, right?" Izzy asked.
"No, I mean, look, when I came here I was just like you, but then I got along with people and got a little carried away and we made friends pretty easily," Betty admitted.
"I mean, I understand what you're trying to do, you're trying to be yourself and all that, but it's obvious that a lot of people are uncomfortable with it."
Izzy gave in to Betty's words. She looked upset again, but thankfully Betty still hadn't finished what she was going to say.
"But you can do that with me. A person should always be themselves. And I always remember what a famous person said: 'Just, trying to be yourself. Because pretending to be someone else will only make people never know the real you.'"
Izzy smiled.
"Is this from Riya Sharma? The famous Bollywood actress?" Izzy asked with a chuckle
"Yeah, that's definitely it." Betty chuckled too.
"I admired how she was always herself. I wish she would listen to herself..."
Betty sighed.
"Anyway, it's not too late for something. Right now, if you want, we can hang out or go over to the others and chat with them. Whatever you want."
Izzy thought for a moment and then smiled, taking her friend's hand.
"Let's go, girl! We can scare them and make them laugh with some Izzy memories!" Izzy said excitedly.
Betty smiled at her friend.
"Yeah, we would definitely do that!" Betty said happily.
Izzy Betty'in deletes everything.
"Let's show them some Boom-Booms!"
Izzy grabbed her friend and quickly went to the others.
They all had so much fun chatting to each other. This was Izzy's favorite night and she now had new friends.
(The End)
Note: Okay, I was browsing Pinterest and I found a picture of Izzy. Then I thought why not write a fic about that picture. Don't worry, I'll give the credit of the picture in the summary :)) For now, see you in other fics, big kisses to those who love and support me! I love you 💖💖💖
