I walk a good few steps behind both of them until we reach the car. Lilah is literally hanging onto Lorenzo as if she lets go something bad will happen. 

The entire time I've been looking anywhere but at them. I don't know what it is but something about seeing them together pains me. 

Lorenzo's jaw is clenched the entire time. I've learnt that that's something he does when he is very angry or irritated. 

He shrugs off Lilah's grip and walks over to the passenger side of the car. Oh great! All three of us in the same car. 

Life can't possibly get any better, can it? Lilah turns around to stare at me but when she see's Lorenzo has held the passenger side door open she gives me a wicked smile before rushing over to take the seat. 

"I wasn't holding the door for you" Lorenzo says monotonously. Lilah looks shocked by his words and she side glances towards me. 

"And? I'm your wife as well I should have the right to sit with my husband too" she sneers. I cringe back at the words 'husband' coming out of her mouth. 

Especially when she's implying Lorenzo as her 'husband'. I look over at Lorenzo to see he's just left the passenger side door open and is holding the back door open now. 

I try to hide the blush that is forming on my face and thank him quietly as I settle myself in the back of the car. 

He shuts the door once I'm fully settled in and walks over to the driver side and sits in the car. 

Lilah's jaw is dropped open when she realises that he isn't getting up to close her door for her. She huffs slightly and closes the door herself. 

I turn my face away from her so she can't see the smirk on my face and decide to just stare out of the window for the rest of the ride. 

________________

Finally! God it felt like that 15 minute drive lasted an eternity. I was trying my hardest to not pay attention to them but my eyes couldn't help but catch glimpses of Lilah touching Lorenzo on his arm, chest and other places. 

It hurt me more at the fact that Lorenzo wasn't even resisting her. Why should I care right? I mean he can go and love whoever he wants it shouldn't affect me. 

I rush out of the car and quickly make my way up to my bedroom. I strip out of the dress and change into my pj's. 

Making sure to brush my teeth and removing all the makeup from my face, I return back to my bedroom and throw myself onto the bed. 

I let out a sigh and just stare at the ceiling. After a while of just staring at the ceiling I decide to get ahead on some of the stuff that we're doing in school. 

I start revising for biology because I know it can really overwhelming if there's a really hard topic and I don't understand. 

After a few hours of studying I look at the clock in the corner of my screen and see it says 3:30. How am I still not tired?

Where is Sebastian and Oliver? I haven't seen Oliver since 2 days ago and who did Sebastian come back with if he came in our car. 

I decide to creep out of my bedroom quietly not wanting to disturb anyone. Wait...where is Lilah sleeping?

Is she sleeping in Lorenzo's room? I walk up to his bedroom door and place my hand on the door knob but I just can't bring myself to do it. 

Because I know if I see them both in there my heart won't be able to handle it, so I decide to carry on my journey downstairs. 

Just as I'm about to walk into the kitchen voices laughing come from the living room. I walk over and see Sebastian, Oliver and Lorenzo all sitting and talking. 

Sebastian notices me first and a smile appears on his face. "Sophhhhh!" he says looking towards me. 

I smile and walk towards him sitting in the seat next to him. He throws a hand around the back of my seat and Lorenzo and Oliver have also realised I'm here now. 

"Hey Soph. How are you? Fells like forever since I last saw you" Oliver states. I smile slightly at his comment and smile in return. 

"I'm good thanks. Yeah" I reply. 

"Who'd you come back with Sebby?" I ask him. He smile at my nickname for him, "I came with Andrea and Lorenzo's father" he says simply.

I then turn my attention to Lorenzo to see his jaw's clenched but he's staring right back at me. God what's got in his pants now?

"Why are you still awake?" he asks before I could even open my mouth. 

I gulp silent under his intensive gaze, "Couldn't sleep" I simply tell him. I decide to leave my question for now and thank Sebby silently for speaking up. 

"By the way Sophia, don't you ever worry about Lorenzo leaving you for that little bitch he has upstairs. I will always look after you like my little sister" he says proudly. 

I can't help but smile at his statement and hug him. He hugs me back after a few seconds and I try my hardest to blink away the tears that had welled up in my eyes due to his comment. 

Sebby is like an older brother to me that I never had. The words he just said are something that my own parents had never even once confided in saying to me. 

"Thank you" I whisper into his ear, so only he can hear. We pull back from the hug and I see Lorenzo glaring at Sebby. 

What did he do? God this man. 

"Where's Lilah sleeping?" I chirp out, finally deciding to get the question out of me. 

Lorenzo's eyes bore into mine as he answers "Upstairs in my room". 

I simply nod my head and try not to think of the possible scenarios. "Ugh god no one care about that bitch anyways" Sebby reassures me. 

"I hated her the second I saw her, besides tomorrow me, you and Olly are going to play truth or dare" he says excitedly. 

"We are?" I ask confused. 

"Stop calling me that name" Oliver decides to speak up, glaring at Sebby. 

He holds his hand up in surrender and speaks. "Okay, yeah but when Soph says it you don't tell her anything" he argues. 

Oliver glances over at me and the back over to Sebastian. "Yeah well Sophia is the only one allowed to call me that" he says smiling at me. 

I smile back at him and stick my tongue out at Sebby. He pouts slightly and I just ruffle his hair.

"So none of you are inviting me?" Lorenzo asks shocked. 

I bite my lip to try and hide the smile that wants to escape. Sebby clasps his heart with hands and makes a dramatic sound. 

"You want to play? Pretty sure last time I asked you anything similar you gave me the excuse of being 'busy with work' and now you want to join us?" he says exasperatedly. 

Lorenzo smiles at this and shakes his head at his friends. "Fine. I'll stop work for one day to spend some time with you guys" he says looking at me mainly. 

I smile at his choice and decide to go to bed if we're going to be staying up late tomorrow night. I walk upstairs to my bedroom and wear my wireless earphones. 

Tapping on my Spotify playlist, I listen to as I drift off to sleep.
