"where are we in the story?" estrella asked luna who didn't dare to look at estrellas beady eyes because they were afraid of was to happen next.
"if i tell you," luna expressed, "you'll be heartbroken."
not heartbroken for luca- not yet at least. we aren't there in the story. heartbroken because everyone believed they had their end game. everyone believed that their soulmate was out there waiting for them to be found. what if i told you that this is where you see someone's life get snatched right out of their hands. where you can physically see the soul of the girl who had found her end game. who had found her soulmate. lose him all in one night.
this is where you see sophia lose her soul. someone snatch the man who gave her the world right out of her hands. luca could still remember the smell of the liquid on her fingertips, her ears ringing and her honey eyes fixated ahead. her head spinning because she wasn't sure how one minute earlier. exactly one minute earlier. they were all leaving sophia's and lucas apartment with the brothers. laughter leaving their lips as they rushed to the car, the food that they would be having heavy on their mind. it happened so quickly. luca wasn't able to wrap her head around what had just happened before sophia let out a scream. a scream that came from the inside of her core. luca hadn't even realized that she was pressed against the concrete hands covering her ears.
"someone help!" sophia yelled again and luca snapped to look at where sophia was. blood covering her as she rocked back and forth with quentin. luca felt her heart dropped at the sight of the couple together. fight or flight? fight or flight? fight flight?
luca scurried to get up. looking at sophia who was screaming for help. luca panicking as neighbors came out staring and a crowd forming, "don't just stand there!" she hissed at an innocent bystander, "do something! call 9-1-1!" luca was quick to grab sophia, "fi, get up." she yelled, "this isn't helping him." fight. fight. fight.
"he's bleeding out!" sophia hissed back snapping from her trance.
"i fucking know." luca finally felt her chest cave in, sobs leaving her lips, "i know." she repeated again. on her knows as she looked around the crowd. flight. flight. flight. her eyes looking to the younger boy, "jayden?" her voice was muffled around the commotion of the bystanders, their phones out as everyone called for help, "jayden!" she yelled again. finally getting up, her honey eyes landed on the eighteen-year old who was in fetal position, his body rocking back and forth in his own hold, "jay." she whispered, the sirens bombing, her ears ringing and tears falling from her face. streams and streams of tears. que time was bleeding out and the sight of sophia covered in his blood triggered her to hunch over and throw up, "fuck me!" she yelled, tears coming down harder and harder. the whole world was spinning as she looked back and forth between jayden and sophia and quentin's body.
amr pulled in, rushing to asses the football player. he was lifeless and sophia's screams could be heard from miles. the screams that would hunt luca for years to come. screams the come from deep in ones soul as life is being snatched away form you. luca hasn't even noticed she was on the ground, rocking herself until someone from amr touched her knee in a comforting manner. in a manner that told luca that she would be taken care and she would be okay. she wanted to hear someone tell her that everything would be okay, "miss." the older lady looked at her, her eyes staring intently at luca who snapped to look at her. eyes red from her crying. luca began shaking her head, panic rising from deep with her and she felt herself hyperventilating, "miss, please breathe with me."
luca shook her head, "i can't breathe." she chocked out, "save him, please save him."
estrella and luna had tears streaming down their faces as they watched the scene from above, "he doesn't make it, does he?" estrella asked.
luna let out a deep sigh. sad one, "he doesn't."
