Klaus

"What do you mean you know where she is?" I stood up and walked over to Sofia. She backed up a little once I reached her, causing me to furrow my eyebrows.

"Sorry. You're too close.." she surly laughed, i took notice of that and backed off a bit. Sofia coughed and adjusted her jacket.

"When my dad took me to work- he's a police officer by the way, I saw your mother getting off at the station. She was with a man—"

"What the fuck kind of false information are you giving me? Why would my mother be with the police." My dad said she was out of the country and I of course knew that it was a lie but the last thing I expected was what came out of sofias mouth next.

"I asked my dad. She was arrested for.. for-"

"For what? Sofia tell me!" I urged.

"For attempted murder!"

I don't think I've ever experienced the level of shock I'm going through right now. "Against you." Why was my best friends 13 year old sister insinuating that my mom attempted to kill me.

"That must be a mistake." I rubbed my forehead and paced around my room. "Klaus she's been in prison for 10 months." She continued.

No, no. This whole time she's been right under my fucking nose. How could I have been so stupid. "But it wasn't her that day! Sam shot me- god why does nobody ever believe me!"

"I believe you." This time she was the one to approach me, Sofia put her arms out to stop me from pacing. "I believe you, and I always have." She took my arms and held them in her hands.

"I know where your mother is now. But she's most likely leaving town."

My heart dropped, my dad hasn't told me a single word of this, he hasn't told me about mom going to prison, about anything actually. Some dad he is.

"And I want you to know that-"

"Why are you telling me this."

"What?"

"Sofia why are you here in the middle of the day telling me information I've been trying to figure out for months on end? You could be doing something better than being here." She looked sort of offended when I said that last part.

But I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to know why she cared so much. "I always looked up to you klaus and I hate seeing you struggle like this, and I want to be worthy of your friendship."

I must be off the edge of something because I still don't get why a 13 year old is in front of me telling me this information and pouring all of this out like a damn faucet.

"Alright. Meet me here tomorrow after school, and we'll go look for her. Okay?" A wild smile appeared on sofias face as she nodded excitedly. "Okay- I will."

Sofia

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"Leilah all I did was try to help-"

"Dad is going to murder us! We weren't supposed to give out information like that especially not to klaus." I practically rolled my eyes. Of course she had to have an opinion on this.

"Oh really? Hes been suffering this whole time while you went back and forth to his house, knowing where his mother was and you didn't even bother to say a word to him!"

Leilah groaned and and sat down on the chair, leaning against the table. "You know sometimes you take your little crush on him too far."

"Crush? CRUSH?!"

I sat down across from her and practically widened my eyes, she looked at me calmly and folded her arms. "I care for him way more than you do, all you do is obey every little thing the adults tell you and expect them to be right about it!"

"Klaus is a good person, and trust me you may think you're helping him and you think he'll fall for you but you're just some other dumb 13 year old girl to him." Suddenly I had no words, because deep down, I knew she was right.

He'd always treated Leilah better than me but that didn't stop me from caring about him, and trust me it will never come even close to it. I'll help him until the day I die if I have to. "If it means risking dad being disappointed in me, then so be it, I couldn't care less."

Leilah laughed, she had the audacity to laugh right in my face."Sofia, you're too young to be thinking about stuff like that. Leave klaus alone and leave it to the professionals. Because even if you do all of this he will not like you back."

After that I didn't say anything. Instead I stood up and grabbed my bag pack from the couch and the house keys from the counter. "Wha- where are you going it's 6:30!"

I ignored her calls and slammed the front door shut. I felt tears running down my face. About how no one would truly understand about how much I care about him, and what I would do for him.. I know I'm young.

But they didn't have to keep reminding me about it every single second of damn life. I'm human too and I have feelings, that's something my family doesn't seem to understand.

And so I found myself in the front door of the only person i wanted to talk to. I waited at the door and used my hand to block out the sobs that are escaping my lips.

As the door opened it revealed exactly who I wanted to see. "Sofia? I thought we weren't meeting until tomo-" before he finished I jumped into his arms and started sobbing like crazy.

He didn't even hesitate to wrap his own around me and lead me inside. "Shh.. it's okay, I'm here." For some reason I felt safe. Safer than I've ever been, and my dad is part of the police force, so that's a lot.

"I'm here it's okay."
