*The Next Day*
~Sophia's p.o.v~
Layla and I made up and everything is back to how it was. Except this time I won't ruin our friendship by blaming her for things that she'd never do.
David and I havent decided on a wedding date yet, but we know it has to be sometime soon. Except there's one tiny problem, we haven't told anyone yet, the only person who knows besides me and David is Layla. She knew before I knew. But besides us, no one knows.
I have to tell my family and David has to tell his family. That's another problem, David's family probably doesn't even know my name and now in their prospective their son is getting married to a stranger. I don't know how they'll respond to that, but I can only hope for the best. But first I have to worry about my own family because as of right now, my mom isn't very fond of David.
"Hey mom." I said while walking into the living room with David standing behind me.
"Hi Ms. Davis." David said timidly, he didn't want to anger her.
"Oh hi! What are you kids up to?" She said in a friendly voice.
Uhhh, is she ok? Usually she gets mad when I bring David over. I thought.
"Well mom, David and I have something very important to tell you."
I said as we sat down on the couch side by side.
"Ok, what is it?"
"Well Ms. Davis-"
"No no no! Call me Kendra."
"Ok?" He said in a confused voice. "Well Kendra, as you know I love Sophia very much."
"I know you do." She smiled.
"And I want her to be my wife."
She gasped "Oh my goodness that's great! I'm so happy for you both!" She said happily.
"Mom, are you ok?" I said as she hugged me.
"Yes of course, I'm great why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, whenever I bring David over you usually get angry, and I just told you we're getting married! Why is this time any different?"
"Soph, can I please talk to you, alone?"
I looked at David as if I was asking him and he nodded, so I agreed.
"Sure mom."
We walked to the kitchen and she made sure the door was shut before she said anything.
"So mom what's up with you?"
"Listen Sophia, you're 18 and I can't hold on to you forever, I guess I just haven't realized that my baby is growing up so fast." She said with tears in her eyes. "I haven't been able to cope with the fact that I'm going to lose another person I love."
"What do you mean?"
"Sit down soph, there's been a few things I've kept from you.
"Like what?"
"Sophia, I lied when I said I didn't believe in true love, the truth is, I did. And I married my true love, long ago. We were so in love when we found each other, until one day he went out and he never came home. He had been in a terrible crash, and he didn't make it. And Sophia do you want to know who that man was?"
"Of course I do."
"He was your father."
