Adrian's POV- Easter 2016

I looked at the time and cleared my throat getting Sophia's attention. 

"Why don't you call them?" I asked earning a nod from Jaclyn.

Lorenzo's twins were supposed to come over tonight. It was clear how much Easter Sunday meant to Sophia. I know she was hurt at the fact that she was unable to spend it to her mom, it's why we had enough food to feed a small army. She had cooked everything that her soon to be step siblings liked eating. Dina was away in Mexico at the moment, Lorenzo had whisked her away and was going to propose sometime this week.

"I'm not hungry anymore"

Her bottom lip wobbled a bit as she stood up. Jaclyn frowned a bit and glanced at me.

"I'm going to my room"

 Blue, her beagle stood up and followed her out of the kitchen. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I heard Sophia start crying on her way upstairs. I pulled my phone out and dialed a number.

"Who are you calling?"

Jaclyn frowned as I shushed her.

"What up?"

"Never answer the phone like that" I stated.

Biz laughed.

"Hello"

"Hi, are you busy right now?" I asked.

"Some of the guys are decided if we should order pizza"

"Don't order anything, come over" I said.

I hears shuffling.

"Something wrong?"

"The twins didn't show up" I told him.

He let out a sigh.

"Oh Sophia"

I hummed.

"Can you come?" I asked.

"Yeah, text me the address and I'll tell the guys to go there"

"Sounds good, thanks" I replied.

"No problem man, whatever it takes to make Soph  feel better"

I nodded.

"Text me the address, like right now"

"Ok, bye" I said.

I ended the call once he said bye and I looked at Jaclyn.

"Do you know Soph's passcode?" I asked.

She looked at the phone across from us and nodded. 

"Thank you" I said when she handed me the unlocked phone.

"Make them hear it"

"Oh I will" I mumbled as I made my way to the living room.

I turned to Jaclyn.

"Can you text Byz the address?" I asked.

"What's your passcode?"

"1213" I replied.

She smiled and touched her chest. December 13, the day I asked Soph to be my girlfriend. 

"You sap"

I rolled my eyes and found Mariana's name on Soph's contact list. I pressed the phone against my ear and took a deep breath as it rang,

"Hello?"

"Hi is this Mariana?" I asked.

"This is her, but you're not Sophia"
