Peter's pov

Sofia lay motionless on Miles' bed, her face pale and devoid of any signs of awareness. The room fell silent as we stood around her, a mixture of concern and anxiety filling the air. Cole held her hand as David held her other hand, worried about their friend. Matilda carefully examined her, looking for any visible injuries or signs of distress.

" What happened again?" Dad asked.

" She entered the room, saw David and fainted." Miles resumed.

" Hmm so David is the problem!" Desty hummed.

We all looked at her with an unamused look and I took the chance to be sarcastic, saying, " Wow, what a leap of logic!"

She rolled her eyes and Dave elbowed my arm, mouthing, " Enough!"

" I'll get her some perfume."

" I have one here." Miles grabbed his perfume and gave it to Matilda.

With great caution, we tried to rouse Sofia from her unconscious state. Diana gently called out her name, softly tapping her cheeks. Cole even tried shaking her shoulders lightly. Mom fetched a glass of water, hoping that a few sips might help her revive.

Suddenly, Sofia stirred and opened her eyes, blinking away the tiredness and confusion as she slowly sat up.

" Finally!" Luke said.

We all gasped with relief and smiled, with David and Cole squeezing her hands in reassurance. Mom handed her the glass of water. " Hydrate yourself."

Sofia accepted it with a faint smile. " Thank you."

" Just be fine!"

She nodded and drank it. Her eyes met David's and they looked at each other deeply. I couldn't help but wink at Miles.

" How did this happen?" Dad asked her.

" I don't know!" She let go of Dave's hand and rubbed her face down.

Cole suggested, " We should call a doctor."

" No, I'll be fine. Just give me a moment."

" But you have to." Vincent said.

" It's not necessary!"

David snickered and stood up. " As you like!"

" I wouldn't expect anything from you."

" Great! Saves me the trouble."

" Can you both stop and let's focus on our real problem?"

" Yeah sur-" Sofia stood up suddenly and ran into the bathroom, locking the door.

We were taken aback, unsure why Sofia had reacted so strangely. Mom quickly followed her into the bathroom, knocking gently on the door. " Sofia, is everything alright?"

" Yeah, don't worry, please." She came out and said," I'm having migraines. I'm taking meds and I'll be okay in a while."

" Ohh!" We all nodded, understandingly.

" Let's have breakfast then." Mom said

" No, thank you."

" But you just empty your stomach."

" I guess you're right."

" You really should rest, we'll take care of finding Levio." Cole said.

" I won't overdo."

We all went to the dining room and sat at the table, having breakfast. We chatted with Dave about when he came and why he didn't call us, then we bickered and joked around.
