A/N: Ah, so I lied. There are to be two more chapters after the last one! The chappie after this is gonna be the last...sob, I want to cry. I warn you, it's quite depressing actually and I'm in a sad mood. Enjoy and see you on the next and final chappie!

Sophia tried to flutter her eyes open delicately but found it incredibly difficult. When she finally opened her eyes, the streaming white light made her want to shut them again.

She was unsure where she was, what day it was and even who she was.

"Hey," She heard a soft voice say but she couldn't really focus on anyone so she assumed the worst.

"Am I dead?" Sophia questioned, her voice sounded weak and scratchy.

"Far from it," the voice replied, chuckling softly. She recognised that laugh.

"Virgil?"

"Yeah, it's me," Virgil replied, smiling widely. Quickly, everything came back into focus. Sophia saw Virgil and realised she was laying in bed with him perched on the edge. Sophia recognised the yellow walls – she was back on Tracy island, inside Tracy Villa. Safe again.

"How're you feeling?" Virgil asked, brushing some hair from her face so it didn't annoy her.

"In desperate need of a bacon sandwich," Sophia replied, returning his smile.

"I'll see what I can do," Virgil promised. "How's your head?"

"Achy. Are you ok? How's everyone else? Are they safe?"

"Everyone's fine. I'm fine. We got out easily although it was fun trying to get you out. We're not sure about The Hood. Or Harry," Virgil added quietly.

"Harry?" Sophia echoed. "Oh, I hit him with a door." She began to feel a little sick, true she didn't like Harry but she hoped he hadn't burnt to death.

"It won't be too long till we hear, I'm pretty sure of that," Virgil reassured, squeezing her hand fondly.

"Has Scott said anything to you?" Sophia asked gingerly, that particular conversation still strong in her head.

"Yeah, he hasn't actually shut up. It's alright Sophia, I understand everything. Don't worry," Virgil said with a smile she couldn't quite decipher. It was a cross between a knowing and a sad smile.

"But Virgil -," Sophia began but he cut her off.

"Don't worry," He reassured softly. "I'll go see about that sandwich, huh?"

He kissed the top of her head lightly and gave her one last smile before he left. Sophia swallowed hard and lay back in her pillows but her silence was soon broken by the appearance of her sister.

"Pea," Penelope said softly and rushed to her side. "You're awake sweetie."

"Hi Penny," Sophia said, happy to see her sister as she perched herself on the edge of the bed just like Virgil had done.

"How are you? We've been quite worried, you've been out for three days," Penelope enquired, kissing her sister on the cheek.

"I'm fine. I've just seen Virgil," Sophia replied.

"I know. He's been sitting with you all day," Penelope replied, smiling knowingly and making Sophia blush.

"I need to tell you something," Sophia said after taking a deep breath. "About me. And Virgil."

"Go on," Penelope said softly. "You can tell me."

"We…um, me and him. Him and I…a couple of days ago we were together. With each other…alone together…" Sophia trailed off, really not knowing what else to say about it. It was dreadfully embarrassing but Penelope remained clear faced.

"I know Pea. Virgil explained, and apologised profusely to me and his father," Penelope said simply, not letting on whether she was angry or amused or what.

"He did?" Sophia replied, feeling sick at the thought of it. She could never face her sister and Jeff alone with something like that to tell.

"He did. He understands you're only young and wanted us to know he cares about you very much but he knows the reality. Sophia, do you know it too?" Penelope said seriously. Sophia gulped. This wasn't really the way it was supposed to be going.

"What, that we can't be together anymore?" She said.

"Oh honey, no. You can try and be together but it'll be so difficult. I'm not saying you can or cannot and neither is Jeff. That's up to you and Virgil. But I am saying it won't be easy and I don't want to see you get hurt," Penelope explained as gently as she could.

For some reason, Sophia felt herself getting teary eyed. She knew it in her heart but it hurt to be told it out loud.

"I know," Sophia sighed after a while. "He's the nicest person I've ever met Penny. So lovely."

Penelope didn't reply. She just smiled and squeezed her baby sister's hand.
