Sophia's POV
Hardest Goodbye
Before I left my place and had to be at the airport, I made a quick stop to see Aaron who had just woken up due to me knocking on the door as loud as possible.
Aaron: Sophia it is six in the morning, what are you doing here?
Sophia: I just came to say goodbye, Iknow it is strange but Iam moving back to Mexico...
Aaron: when did you decide that?
Sophia: I don't have time to explain but I hope this helps you understand.
I handed him a folded piece of paper and watched as it slowly unfolded it.
Sophia: goodbye Aaron, you have been a great friend...
I walked back to my vehicle before he stopped me, I drove away not looking back, I let my manager know that I would be late arriving to New York which I really didn't care if I went or not because I wanted to be alone and clear my mind, I had felt like my heart was ripped from my chest after Zak dropped a bomb about no longer wanting me around which was why I said my goodbyes to Aaron, I couldn't be reminded of the past so it was better this way.
Seven hours passed and I was finally arriving to the border, Inever realized how much Imissed this place until I seen a signing welcoming me to Mexico, the scent of the area was still the same as it was when I was still a child. the only thing that changed was the size of the city. My mom used to call everyone she knew her "familia" which was normal because everyone treated each other like they were part of their family even if we weren't related to that person. I slowly pulled into a small driveway of a restaurant that overlooked the ocean, I stepped inside and seen my mother standing behind the counter as she handed a small bag to a customer, I walked up to her and hugged her as tight as I could while I tried fighting the tears that were about to run from my eyes as Ifought to conceal the heartbreak I had been feeling ever since I left Vegas.
The day ended and we spent the remaining time alone talking about what happened after she left my home that day she visited.
her mom: I am sorry mija, I always knew that he wasn't right for you ever since you brought him home to meet your father and I, the pain you are feeling is only there because you still care about him and I know in my heart that you will find happiness again, just promise me that you will never see him again...
Sophia: I don't plan on seeing him ever again, Ieven say goodbye to someone that was there for me through everything because he works with Zak.
her mom: sometimes doing what feels horrible is the best thing, new friends will come into your life when the time is right, so what are your plans since you won't be returning to Nevada?
Sophia: I have to be in New York for an interview and a photoshoot, I was wondering if I could leave my things here until I return?
her mom: you have always been welcome here, your things will be safe until you get back, just put your things in your old bedroom.
I carried my things up to my old bedroom which was the same as the day I left home, the pictures of us were still hanging on the mirror that hung n the wall next to the bed that I slept on for so many years, I gently pulled a picture away from the glass and remembered it like it was yesterday; it was at the baby shower my mom had put together after I found out that I had been a month and a half pregnant four weeks before he cheated on me with Christina, and the stress got to me which caused me to have a miscarriage, I had felt the tears running down my face while my mother stood in the doorway watching me carefully...
her mom: I hated that day too sweetheart, I was overjoyed when you told me that I was going to be a grandma and you would have been a great mother to that child.
Sophia: I blamed myself for him cheating with her for so many years, If only I hadn't been so clingy I think our child would still be alive today...
her mom: it was never your fault, he probably had a thing for her before you become part of his life.
Sophia: maybe so....
her mom: dinner is almost done if you want to eat before you head to the airport.
Sophia: I would love to but I am already going to be late when I get to the city but we can spend the day at the beach when I return...
her mom: I will be looking forward to it, be safe sweetie and don't worry so much. Everything is going to be okay...
I gave her a hug before I left, I knew that she wanted me to be happy but getting over it was easier said than done because I lost the best friend anyone could have due to what had happened, I arrived in the city after hours of flying and a delayed trip halfway there. I was making my way to the hotel after the interview and photoshoot was finished when I seen them standing near the desk getting a key as I was heading to my room, I hid behind a man that was taller than me so they wouldn't see heading out the lobby doors, I quickly hid beside a man that was walking in the same direction as I was but fate as always had other plans for me whenever I returned to my hotel room, I had been focused on something that I was reading online when I bumped into him while he was standing outside his room trying to open the door....
Zak: I am sorry miss, are you okay?
I didn't say anything because I remembered the words he said to me that night before he walked away, I didn't want to cause conflict between us so I quickly stood up and walked to my room as I quietly unlocked it and stepped into the room which was coincidentally two doors away from his room.
later that night, the one thing that I never wanted to happen had happened anyway.... I slowly opened the door enough to hear him speak when I seen him reach his hand through the crack of the door with a small teddy bear in his hand that had a piece of paper taped to its backside. I gently took it from his hand and read what was written on the paper.
My dearest Sophia,
I know apologizing would mean nothing to you right now since what I said broke your heart but I beg of you not to make Aaron pay for the mistake that I made, he truly does care about you like a sister, this is all I ask of you and I promise that I won't come around you anymore if it what you desire. I will never bother you again after you finish reading this letter and the bear is a gift from Aaron so please don't throw it out thinking it is from me...
I placed the teddy bear on the bedside table and laid out a comfortable pair of pajamas, I hadn't gotten the chance to relax since I arrived here but Ineeded to apologize to Aaron for what I said and done the morning I showed up to his house unannounced.
Aaron: if I was Zak, I would never let you get away. it's not everyday that a woman like you treats someone like him with so much respect and love despite the breaups you two have went through, he broke your heart multiple times and you still stayed his friend...
Sophia: I never told anyone this except my mother but we were expecting a child together until I had a miscarriage.
Aaron: does he know about this?
Sophia: he believes that the child was placed in a foster home, I can't break his heart...
Aaron: come on Soph, I think it is time you tell him... after all it is his child just as much as it is yours....
