Pleasing Silas

*TW*

It was winter break and Sophia and I were visiting our families and today we were visiting mine and then hers in a few days days.

I help her put her suitcase in my trunk then mine, Sophia puts the presents she bought in the back seat and gets in the passenger seat taking her notebook out.

"You think I can do my makeup in the car?" She asks when I get in I shrug "you can, if you want we leave after your done." I tell her Sophia shakes her head "I'll be okay." She tells me taking her makeup bag out of her totebag

I watch her as she starts to do her makeup before pulling out of the parking lot.

Sophia had her hair in a bun with strands of her hair hanging infront, her hair is natural curly or wavy is what she said, she also said it's more of a in between.

She was wearing jeans and a light green sweater, she wore Jordan's that were also green.

It takes a few hours to get close to my parents and I look over to see Sophia staring out of the car, she hasn't talked much about break, nor her family.

For some reason it seems as if she's dreading it, dreading seeing her family or even having the break.

When we finally get to my parents house I park my car in the driveway and look over at Sophia who's on the verge of sleeping.

"We're here, if you want I'm sure my mother and father will let you sleep in our guest bedroom or my room if that'll make you more comfortable" I say getting a tired nod from her.

We get out of the car and knock on the door and wait, but I can't help but notice how quiet Sophia is, and as if she seems nervous

My mother opens the door and gives us a smile "hey, sorry if I took long I had to deal with your fathers clinginess." She said letting us in.

Sophia and I sat at the table after my mother and her talked, Elijah and Evelyn were already here and they were talking with Claire and Cesare.

Although Elijah was mostly talking to Sydney who occasionally talks with Sophia but not so much.

Sophia's still quiet though, she plays with the gold necklace with a green diamond on it she's wearing "you okay?" I ask, she slowly looks over at me a nods giving me a small smile I kiss her forehead.

Claire gets up and goes to help my mother with cooking, and apparently Emilia is still in her room getting ready.

Sophia's head snapped towards my father when he walks in.

Her breathing was fast now, her hands drop from the necklace and start to shake "Sophia?" I whisper. She didn't answer her eyes remain on my father who's confused like everyone else.

I grab her hand and squeeze it making her head snap towards me "I- uhm I'm so sorry." She rushed out of the room leaving everyone even more confused.

"What happened?" My father asked me, I stare at where she once was "I'm not sure, let me go check on her." I say getting up.

I knocked on the bathroom door before opening it when I hear a soft cry "Sophia?" I asked, she was curled in a ball shaking "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, im so sorry, make it stop. Please I'll do anything." She says shakily.

I bent down to her level and try to help her, she flinched when I rubbed her arm and I instantly back away, Sophia was gripping her hair tightly, she was sobbing and coughing when she tried breathing quickly

"Hey, I'm going to be right back okay? Just try to breathe Tesoro, slow breaths okay?." I said (darling)

My mother gives a confused look when I go downstairs "where's Sophia?" She asked when I walked towards her "can you follow me? And just you?" She nods slowly and followed me to the bathroom.
