Sophie POV:
There is only one place where I can go to think. Whenever something really bothered me I just ran away. It was always the same place. A small beach, 30 minutes from my home. My grandparents took me and my sister here sometimes during the summer all those years ago, when they were still alive. Besides them I've never been here with anyone else. It was my safe place. I remember talking about it to Sian, but that's all, no one knows this place.
As I arrive I park my car and get out taking a walk along the beach.
Sian POV:
She is not opening the door. Her beetle is not here. Quickly I think about all the places where she could have gone to.
Sophie POV:
As I walk along the beach I find lots of sea shells. Normally I collect the nicest one and take it home to my treasure chest. But today I find a beautiful one. It is heart-shaped and in a warm shade of salmon rose…Smiling I grab it and put it into my trousers as I walk further.
2 hours later - Sian POV:
I've gone to all the places where Sophie used to go. Her gym, the cinema, our park bench, the tree near the little river, her favorite coffee place... It seems that she is disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly I remember a conversation we had one night after watching a movie. The protagonist used to drive to a mountain whenever he felt confused or when something bothered him. He had some sort of safe place there. Sophie had asked me if I had something like that. I had negated it. She on the other hand had somewhere she went, I knew that. But she had never told me where it was.
Who could know where this secret place is?
Damn, I couldn't call Sally or Kevin; they didn't have any contact for several years now. And Rosie? Well, she and Sophie haven't got the best relationship either. They talk every now and then on the phone, but that's all. Well, better than nothing. Why not give it a chance? I think as I grab my mobile phone and dial Rosie's number.
Sophie POV:
The wind blows and my hair waves wildly around my head. I walk back from the sand towards my beetle. Opening my car I grab my grey hoodie, a can of Dr. Pepper and my music. I plug the earphones in. It's getting colder. I put my hoodie on and feel instantly more comfortable. I get onto the hood of my beetle and lay down. Looking up to the sky, letting my thoughts wander while drinking some Dr Pepper. After a while I get a little too comfortable out there and fall asleep…
I wake up to see the sunset. Taking a deep breath I jump from my car and get into it. As I start the engine I can't help but feel relieved. Relieved that I came here today. Hoping for the best I make my way back towards home...
General POV:
Sian walks out of a small cafe. The blonde holds a cup of coffee in her hands and crosses the street. Looking defeated with hanging shoulders she sits down on Sophie's doorsteps. Silently crying to herself she doesn't acknowledge the brunette getting out of her car, walking towards her.
"Sian? What are you doing here?" the blonde looks up.
Sophie immediately sees Sian's tear streamed face
"Why are you crying?"
Angrily Sian gets up, moves towards the brunette and shoves her away
"Damn you silly cow! Where have you been?" Sophie stayed silent and waited, her best friends' outburst clearly shocking her
"I've tried to contact you for three fucking days! I've left you voice-messages and texts. I went to every fucking place where you could have been. I even called Rosie to find you! Damn you worried me, Sophie…"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to" Sophie mumbled quietly.
"Ha, sure you didn't"
"Listen Sian, I just had to think… about some things" She had whispered the last part.
"I hope it was worth it. I'm leaving now" Sian shouted enraged and walked past Sophie.
"No, wait, Sian. I said I'm sorry" Helplessly she shouted after the furious blonde.
Sophie POV:
Urgh, that's not how I pictured our first encounter after the kiss. Damn, think of something, Webster.
General POV:
Sophie began running, as fast as she could she picked up a pace and followed her best friend.
"Hey, listen, can we talk?" she came to a stop in front of the still angry looking blonde, who eyed her suspiciously. Wordlessly Sian nodded and they walked in silence to their bench in the park.
Later:
"Please tell me, this is not about that stupid kiss we shared in the club"
"No, of course not… well… maybe…it just… I don't know...confused me or something like that…"
Shyly Sophie looked up from the path. Sian saw her best friend struggling.
"Oh Soph, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you. It was just to get rid of this annoyingly stupid lad… you know"
"Alright, well, I guess…. Can we forget about it, yeah?"
"Of course, come here" Sian pulled Sophie into a tight hug.
"You had me really worried, you silly cow" Sian mumbled into their embrace.
As they got their separated ways again, leading home, Sophie couldn't help it and remembered that kiss again. She repeated it over and over in her head. It was like an infinite loop.
Forgetting it was impossible.
There was something deep inside her. She wanted to do it again. Kiss Sian once again.
Leave it, Sophie. You both agreed to forget about it…
Thanks for reading;)
