She stood looking deep into his eyes. She saw what she wanted so much there. She just wanted to stay in that moment forever.
Sophia could see his lips moving but was so lost in his gaze that the words didn't mean anything. She put her hand up to touch his face but before Sophia could make contact with his skin, he disappeared. He did that so much.
"You know you cannot touch me Sophia." his voice sang.
"I'm sorry, it was an impulse."
She sat there on the sofa with her chin resting on her huddled up knees; thinking back on the months that had past she realized that she had lost so much but gained much more.
"What are you thinking amoureux?" he questioned sitting on the coffee table opposite her.
They made eye contact again.
"I'm thinking...." she took in a deep breath. "I'm thinking that this is stupid why can't you just tell me what was said?"
Sophia realised she was crying.
"I can't tell you because I know what your answer would be and I will not hear it."
"Well that's just not fair. I'll get it out of Jodie." She wiped her tears from her cheek and said. "Yeah, how comes she was aloud there?"
He was not ready for that question.
"Sophia I must leave. I have some work I have to attend. I have left something at Peters home. You should go round later and pick it up." He finished.
He looked deep into her eyes, touching deep into her soul and then disappeared. She felt like he had left a mark on her soul.
Strangely, she felt like he wasn't coming back.
"Hurry up Sophia, were going to be late. I'll go and start the car up." Goran yelled up the stairs.
"Yeah yeah, I'm finishing wrapping the present."
Sophia hated family birthdays. They were always the same. Friends and family gathered at the person's home for cake, presents and alcohol.
She ran down the apartment stairs and out to the car that Goran had brought round.
He sat smiling to himself as he started up the engine.
"What?" She questioned putting on her belt.
"Nothing." he finished shaking his head.
They sat in silence on their short journey. They were defiantly on the right street when they arrived. People were scattered all across the street.
"Well here we go." Sophia breathed stepping out of the car.
Looking up at the house that she once grew up in, she took in a breath and braced herself. Before she had the chance to knock Jodie swung the door open and leaped into her big sisters arms.
"You made it. I thought you were never going to show."
"How could I miss my little sisters 19th birthday?" They both laughed.
"Where's the present?" Jodie snooped, tapping down Sophia's back.
"No need to search me."
Jodie turned round and grabbed the present from Sophia's hands. Jodie unwrapped the present to find a long white velvet box.
Slowly opening the box, Jodie's face went from quizzical to just plain happiness.
"Oh my god Sophia its beautiful. It must of cost a bomb?" Jodie beamed hugging her sister.
Sophia waved her hand to stop Jodie from asking loads of questions.
The party went by very slowly. At least she had her mother to talk. Her grandma Isabelle on the other hand was just plain mad. She always brought up stories
about family bloodlines. So she tended to avoid her all night.
"Babe it's time we left." Goran said taking hold of Sophia's arm.
She glanced at the clock which read eleven thirty. Tiredness was becoming an issue so she agreed with him that it was time to go. She said all her goodbyes and left.
"So you had a good night?" he asked keeping his eye on the road.
"Surprisingly yes but I just want to crash."
He smiled. Rain began to bounce of the windscreen really heavy too. Goran found it hard to see the road.
But in just that split second where Goran pulled his gaze from Sophia, something white and fast blurred in front of the car. The rest was confusing to Sophia but she still remembers bits. She couldn't see anything of the thing that Goran had just hit, which panicked her.
She turned her head to look at Goran but she couldn't see his face for all the blood.
"Goran, baby talk to me." but he didn't reply or move. "God damn it...answer me. Don't leave me."
He still didn't move. And that's when he came. Sophia thought he was an angel. He was tall and wearing a black tuxedo without the tie. He looked down on Goran.
"Help him please." She whispered.
The angel looked at her then back at Goran. He looks so full of pain Sophia thought.
"Man in the tux, don't just look at him. Help him."
"Are you talking to me?" he questioned. Shock and confusion spread across his face.
Her vision was beginning to go blurry but she was not leaving this planet until this annoying beautiful man helped Goran. She thought.
"Yes I'm talking to you. Ring an ambulance or something." Sophia yelled.
Then Sophia let out a shrilling scream of pain. Her neck burnt and it continued to burn for quite some time. She turned her head to see what was happening and found what she saw scary as hell. She turned her head back to the other man who
Looked at her in shock and then placed his hand on Goran's face.
Then her vision turned grey, grey to black and black to nothing.
