Chapter Eighteen

Sophia

It has been two months since Connor and me first arrived in Jacksonville and I feel completely normal. I still haven't spoken to my mother but I hope all is well with her, I still miss her so much but the memory of her is starting to fade slowly.

It has been wonderful living with Connor's family, you just assume people who have a good bit of money are stuck up but no, they aren't. I guess I would be classified as wealthy but I am no where near as prosperous as Connors aunt and uncle. I love Nicole, we get along so well and she is like the sister I've never had. We are so close to the point we tell each other everything. I love the entire family as my own and as for Connor, we have become so close in the past two months. I think I'm starting to fall in love with him. I have spent so much time with that boy that I feel like he is a part of me now. Wherever I go he goes and vice versa.

Living with his family has been a great experience. I have completely forgotten about my father, all these good memories have washed away all the terrifying ones of him. Soon, Connor and me are going to go back up to New York. As much as I love it here, everything seems to have simmered down and I need to get back to normal life. I start at NYU in the fall and I'm so excited to finally fulfill my dream of being a pediatrician. A few months ago, I thought that dream was gone forever, dead and forgotten. But due to recent events, I've realized that everything is going to be okay. David Black is no longer a threat to me. I'm hoping he got hit by a car or offed himself because he realized what a sick, twisted shit he really was.

I have completely regained my sanity and I know my life will continue. I have big plans for the future and Connor is definitely a part of them. I think it's safe to say I am completely safe from crazy.

Connor is taking me out to dinner tonight, we haven't had a lot of alone time together because he was preoccupied with Benji while I was with Nicole. Don't get me wrong, Benji and Nicole are amazing but I have been stuck in this house for two months and I haven't even went outside. Connor eventually told his Aunt and Uncle and they were extremely comforting in it all. Nicole and Benji still don't know though, they didn't want to break them or make them scared in any way.

I'm so excited to just sit down with Connor and not have to worry about being scared or worried about any serial killers. I can just be me, the outgoing, intelligent, and caring Sophia. I need to finish getting ready; we are getting ready to leave soon. Nicole helped me pick out my entire outfit, a little black dress, nude heels, and a diamond necklace that Aunt Clara bought me, it is truly so beautiful and I insisted on her taking it back but she wanted me to have it. That woman is extremely persistent. Nicole did my hair and makeup, applying a light, nude, shimmery look to my eyes and curling my hair in soft curls, almost beachy waves. I feel like amazing in this dress and I finally feel like myself again, not the timid Sophia who is scared of her own shadow.

Connor orders the chicken parm and I get the same. He has brought me to a fancy Italian restaurant and it looks to be extremely expensive.

"So how have you been lately?" Connor asks. He wants to know my state of mind, I think he is still a little concerned.

"I've been great. Your family is just amazing and I've got to spend two months with you." I smile and blush slightly.
