"Good morning Sophia!"

"Good morning Mr. Fields!" the girl told her boss with a smile.

"Has Lily informed you about the photoshoot already?" he asked.

"Yes. She told me about a band. She didn't say which one..." she answered and sat on the chair across from him.

"Yes. About that. They'll come here today to discuss with you about the idea of the photoshoot and what they exactly want to show and such and they want your suggestions as well. I still cannot tell you who they are because they're trying to keep this project a secret to their fans so... I'm sorry. I know that you want to know with whom your working with each time, but this photoshoot is really important for this magazine so please be patient. They'll be here at 11.00 o'clock, okay?" her boss explained.

"Ugh... Okay, okay! Eleven o'clock is fine. I'm going to my office to prepare everything because they'll be here in a while. Bye Mr. Fields!" she smiled and stood up from the chair and then moved to her boss' office's door to leave. 

Her office was placed next to her studio. She went inside and sat on her office chair and opened her computer to do some work until they would arrive. Her cellphone vibrated and her screen lit up with Irene's name popping up on it.

Irene: Good morning!xx

Sophia: Oh! You're awake? Good morning! 
Sophia laughed as she pressed the send button.

Irene: I just finished the design I had started yesterday! You have to see it and tell me if I should send it anywhere...!

Sophia: Argh! I have so much work to do today and I'm most probably going to come home late... There's a band that's going to be on the cover next month and I have to arrange the photoshoot... Can you send me a picture of it?

Irene: It's okay! You'll see it when you come home! You won't get much from the picture... Okay, I'm letting you work now. If there's anyone good looking in the band you know what to do... XD. See you tonight! Kisses xxx

Just as Sophia was about to answer to her friend's last text a faint knock on her door made her lock her phone and put it on her desk.

"Yes?" she said ancouragging the person behind the door to come in.

"Sophia..." her assisant, Lily, said and opened the door. "Uhm... They're here. May I let them come in or have you got any more work to do?" she asked silently.

"Why are we whispering?" Sophia said with the same tone of voice and laughed making Lily laugh as well. "Tell them to come in." she said with a normal volume of her voice.

Lily nodded and turned around, closing the door behind her. 
Sophia's heartbeat increased suddenly.

'What's up with me now?' she wondered.

The first thought that came into her mind was stress because she didn't know with what people she has to deal with, but when this usually happened she got angry, not stressed.
The same knock on the door could be heard in the small place again.

"Come in!" Sophia shouted and tried to get everything that she was thinking of, off her mind.

The door opened and Lily with four boys entered the room. Sophia's face dropped.

"So guys..." Lily started talking. "Here's our phot-"

"Sophia?!" the four of them said all together.

"Do you know her?" Lily asked surprised.

"My Lily... Thank you. You can leave now and if I need you I'll call you..." Sophia said as calmly as she could.

Lily nodded and left the room for one more time.

Sophia looked at the four people standing in front of her. Firstly at Luke, then Michael, Calum, to whom she smiled after all this time she hadn't seen him, and lastly her eyes fixed on Ashton. Her facial expression changed. Ashton was looking at her with regret and shame, trying to understand what her look was hiding.
Anger.
Sadness.
Hate?
Sophia stood up from her chair and walked until she was in front of him. She looked at him from up close and gave him a hard slap on the cheek. She turned her head to face the other three guys while trying to not let her tears slip from her eyes.
She whiped the small amount of liquid that had escaped her eyes carefully as to not destroy her make up and opened her office's door, looking at them for one more time, before forcefully closing the door behind her and running out of the place. All her co-workers were looking at her. Lily followed her for a while until Sophia told her to leave. She went to the elevator and to the last floor.
She didn't know where she was heading to.
Somewhere far away.
Somewhere no one could find her.

"SOPHIA?!" she heard a familiar voice calling her and their steps following her.

"No... Just leave... I don't... I want you to get away from my life!" she said angrily and kept on walking quickly.

"I'm sorry..." he said sadly still following her.

"We've talked about this before, Ashton." she said and stopped on her tracks and turned to look at him.

"Not from up close, Sophia. I've tried to comunicate with you so many times but it was like you'd desappeared from this world! You've never let me explain!" he told her and stood in front of her.

"I don't want you to explain anything to me... It's all in the past. Forgotten and really far away. I just want you to. Leave. Me. Alone." she said trying to stay calm.

"But I want you in my life! I want to fix this! I want you to forgive me!" he said and grabbed his head with his hands.

"Unfortunatelly for you the feeling is not common." Sophia said and was about to leave.

"Sophia... I love you."
