A sickening emptiness stirred agonizingly in the pit of Izaaks stomach as he lay there in the darkness with his long, lean limbs sprawled awkwardly over the arms, the cushions and the back of the battered couch. It was not the kind of emptiness that had domineered him for the past month but a more obvious kind, the kind youd expect from such a young, energetic male like himself. He was hungry, so hungry in fact that he felt as if he could eat every dish available in Bondi Junction and still come back for seconds. Unable to fall back to sleep with his stomach so forcefully demanding to be filled, Izaak grunted quietly in discomfort and tumbled lazily from the sunken embrace of the lounge in his navy blue trackpants. His long toes curled hesitantly into the carpet as he stood, directly facing the open door to his bedroom, the one he had given up for Isabella and a new urge quickly flitted through his mind. Perhaps new wasnt exactly the right word, all too often he seemed to be thwarted with urges that made him want to just curl his arms around her waist and fall asleep embracing her and many a time they had been satisfied. But not tonight, he couldnt. His own bed in his own room was just a little different from a bed in an open ward and was a little too intimate for Izaaks liking. It had been one whole month since he and Alexis had come to an end and his broken heart was still on the mend, still bruising with every thought of her, every memory and every happiness that had shared. Though slowly but surely, piece by tiny piece it was coming back together again.
Once again Izaaks hunger tore sharply through his stomach and he was jolted from the less demanding of the two urges. Reaching back to scratch the bare skin on his shoulder blade, the nineteen year old treaded his feet as carefully as possible through the home that he and his sister now shared again. The kitchen couldnt come soon enough for Izaak, even though it was a mere ten yards from the back of the couch and once he was in it, he dove straight for the freezer. Izaak knew exactly what he wanted and because it seemed to be a favourite amongst the Finchs it wasnt so hard to find. Mint choc-chip ice cream. He snatched it from the ice cold temperature the freezer housed, took it over to the breakfast and reached up to flick on the stove light on. Digging into a draw a his hips, Izaaks hand surfaced triumphantly with a dessert spoon clutched within it. But the very tip of the handle caught on the ledge of the counter and it was wrenched from Izaaks grasp, tumbling to an extremely noisy and seemingly endless clutter against the tiles. A sharp curse shot from his lips as he bent down to retrieve it, feeling hot with guilt because the noise was enough to wake everyone in the house. Leah would get over it, Jay would sleep through it but surely it would wake Isabella and the last thing he wanted to do was disturb her sleep.
