General Pov:

"What are you doing here?" Liza said giving the new entering group a   lingering dirty glare

"So this is the childish throw-every-thing-you-can-grab model that we have to deal with?" Bless questioned throwing the same kind of glare at Liza

"babe just be nice. We are here to help" Mitchell asked as he side hugged his fuming girlfriend

"I hate that term "Babe"" she mocked and pushed away from him walking to stand by Sophia. The girls became best friends and for sure Bless knew how hard this situation must be for Sophia. The latter is after all helping her husband's ex lover who tried to suicide because Axel didn't pick her.

"Why do you want to help her again?" Bless hushed but it was quit loud 

" I don't know. We just have to...She is human after all and she kind of shared my roof for two years." Sophia argued not sounding pretty sure herself...Did she just brought herself to hell?

"I shared more than your roof" Liza interfered eyeing Axel in a flirty way...Does she have no manners at all? 

"Liza" Axel grumbled threateningly at her "We are here to help and it is Gem's idea so you either be respectful or her or we are going to leave." he continued to order 

"Gem and how did this gem promise to pay you afterwords?" Liza mocked and closed her eyes ignoring the hateful glares she getting

"She is not you." Mitchell grumbled now 

"Babe just be nice. We are here to help" Bless mimicked him mocking his previous tone

"Bless!" Mitchell grumbled back and she stuck her tongue out for him 

"You guys are getting on my nerves. Get out or I will get a nurse to throw you out." Liza threatened

"We are not going anywhere. You need us around you. You may not like us but we ,and by it I mean Axel and I ,we feel like we had a hand in what happened to you. So we will make sure to bring you back up to your feet." Sophia explained as she sat her backpack and sat on a chair near Liza's bed

"You stole my man you had a hand. He also gave up on me when I needed him most. All he talked about was you. I wanted to distract him even physically but all he wanted was you. He didn't shut up for days about you. I was drunk and can hardly focus but all he talked about was how you will never forgive him.for leaving you and never telling that he was helping me. You didn't help" Liza yelled at last looking at Axel

"She didn't steal me. I am hers since the start but I was too blinded to see it. You said it yourself , you caught me eyeing her a lot in my first years of marriage." Axel fought back

"We are here to help so stop it Axel" Sophia ordered and he came and took the chair beside her

"His eyes used to follow you around when you were dressed in those summer dresses of yours. I caught him staring and fought him endlessly. He said he was just looking but I knew that a dark cloud sat upon his head while Mitchell came along and cooked with you. Axel's gaze changed to a glare and he became grumpier as soon as you and Mitchell started to get closer." Liza announced throwing the couple an angry glare " I was the one who truly got played." 

"Since you knew all of that then you got yourself played" Bless defended 

"True...I got what I deserved for loving an already taken man." Liza admitted

"I am sorry." Axel spoke softly 

"I am sorry too for all I did...I am sorry for widening the  gap between you two. I know that I tried my best to make hate and never forgive each other." Liza confessed 

"She still has not forgiven me fully." Axel replied talking about Sophia as his gaze settled on her 

"I am trying." Sophia hushed at him feeling her cheeks getting rosier by the minute

"Dear god, we forgot your date with Rainer." Bless yelled out of nowhere

"She is not going." Axel yelled back

"She is" she repeated

"Not" he stubbornly fought back

"Is" bless said again 

"Not" Axel grumbled 

"Are you sure that came to help and not to give me a headache?" Liza interrupted both childish adults

"We are sorry. They are always like so and for once I feel like the adult in the room." Mitchell said huffing as if exhausted 

"Who is Rainer?" Liza questioned turning to face Sophia

"My blind date." The woman said shyly

"But you are married" Liza pointed out

"To a jerk" Bless commented earning a glare from Axel

"It is just a friendly date. I wanted to grow out of my safe side. I wanted to just break all my walls and limits." Sophia explained 

"But that's what made him fall for you." Liza argued back pointing at Axel who nodded like a kid

"It also made me defenseless and less appreciative of myself and worth. If I was more like Bless, I would have divorced him way earlier or even sued him and took my share of the company but no I just..." Sophia tried to continue but her tears started to fall endlessly 

"You fell in love." Liza completed for her " And once you fall you do crazy things. Things that any other being with find silly and even idiotic but for you and your lover they make sense. Only for you both they make sense. You gave a kidney to his mother out of goodness but also because you saw him suffering and turning insane. He might have ignored you but not fully and you might have ignored him but not fully too..." 

"I fell in love..." Sophia acknowledged and Axel's hand sneaked to hold hers "Yet I still do not trust him fully. I want to truly but I can't" she felt Axel's hand tightening on hers 

"I will prove myself to you. I will in all the coming years and days." Axel promised

"What about the baby clause?" Bless questioned knowing that the topic went missing in the midst of all the emotions

"I won't rush her into things and trouble her with a baby. I am just going to give up the company." Axel answered with confidence 

"See he is ready to give the company up for you but he was not ready to do so for me. I am not saying this so you can pity me but to prove that Axel is a changed man." Liza promised 

"I thought that you were going to throw things at us then throw us out." Mitchell commented finally

"Oh, I was. But I am bored alone and all these sappy emotions are keeping me busy away from my dark hole of a mind." Liza said sounding friendlier at last
