The room fell dead silent and Sofia looked deep in thought. I don't know why I felt the need to protect her this much.
'You don't even know this girl
It's her life after all but for some unknown reason, I can't let Sofia end up like my mother.
"Sofia who was the guy at the club?" I tried changing the subject for a while because I was coming back to her 'problem'.
Her head shot up at my question and a million feelings flashed through her eyes at once. Knowing she was running from the truth of that night it was obvious she wasn't ready to talk about it. Alex tried asking me about that night but my response stayed the same. She was the one who needed to tell him.
"Uhm...he was a cop that had to watch me" she softly muttered still in thought. Slowly sitting down on the floor she held her head telling herself to stop thinking. I didn't know what to do so my first thought was to get Alex or her brother but for my selfish reasons, I wanted her to trust me enough to help her.
Sofia slowly sat down on the floor and started whispering to herself to stop thinking.
"Please let me out I need one...just one" She pleaded at me looking desperate. I asked her what she meant but regretted it when she explained.
I tried picking her up but she shifted back with every attempt I tried.
Seeing Sofia like this I contemplated if my decision about taking the drugs away was the best decision to make seeing that she depended on the drugs to make her feel okay with everything that happened in her life but I didn't want her to end up like my mother but she would hate me. Hating me was better than being dead.
Right?
Sitting down next to her I made sure I was close enough so that she could hear everything I was about to say. "I removed the door of the room you chose and already took everything except your cigarettes you can have them, I made sure you couldn't get more by contacting every dealer you knew" Sofia shut me out completely and changed every emotion she was showing leaving a blank expression on her face. She avoided contact and slowly nodded her head and stood up.
Stopping at the door she waited for me to unlock it and when I did she simply walked out without saying anything, she didn't even argue with anything I said.
After she left Alex walked in giving me a questioning look wanting to know how it went.
Telling him everything since she walked in he slowly nodded taking in everything I said.
"We're completely fucked" He stated pouring some whiskey for the both of us.
After Alex left I did some work and decided to go check up on Sofia before I went to bed.
Walking to her room I stopped at the doorway that was now wide open for anyone to see into her room I saw her sitting on the window ledge staring at the garden outside. Breakfast is at 8 and you're coming with me to the warehouse tomorrow" I informed making sure she didn't have a choice.
I waited for one of her snarky comments but she stayed silent still looking out of the window.
Knowing she wasn't going to speak to me for a while I walked to my room.
