A/N We left off with Sophia telling Ariella why she prefers coming to Ariella's house rather than having Ariella go to hers.
"Not really Ariella." Sophia said "I don't think that's possible to be honest."
"Do you know how often I wished I was you?" I ask.
"No, but have you ever wondered about why I prefer coming over here than having you come over to mine?" She asks in response.
"No, but I am sure you are going to tell me" I say in reply.
"Well, my parents are drunk all the time and sometimes my dad hits my mum or me, that's mostly why I wear long sleeved tops, and all my brothers care about is finding a new girl to be with so they don't even try to stop my dad. At least you have people who love you" Sophia explains."Or at least act like they love you." She amends.
Chapter 2
Is running an option?
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask.
Sophia replies "I didn't think you would believe me."
"Of course I'd believe you. You're my best friend, why wouldn't I believe you?" I say slightly hurt.
"I don't know, but can you blame me for having some minor trust issues?" She asks.
"No I can't, not at all. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with trust issues because of my parents." I answer.
"If you think about it they meant well really." Sophia says after a slight pause.
"I know but they could have at least mentioned the fact that they are the King and Queen of the Vampires!" I say still a bit annoyed that they hadn't told me until now.
"Maybe they thought you would be in danger if they told you?" She asks.
"Maybe, but I never know with my parents." I reply.
Yeah, I guess. But it is a logical explanation when you think about it." Sophia says.
"I know but it's not likely that I am going to forgive them anytime soon." I say.
"I understand that." Sophia says. "I feel the same way about my dad and brothers."
A couple of minutes later she adds "Maybe you could move out though? That might be better for you."
"Yeah, maybe I could. But I do not think that they would let me at the moment, with this going on. Do you?"
"Thinking on it, no, probably not. But you can't blame me for suggesting it. Can you?" She asks.
"No I can't, it was a good idea" I reply.
A/N Sorry it's short but that's all I've been able to think of at the moment.
