SOPHIE'S POV
Sophie ❤: About to tell Drew about our past.
Kyle ❤: Okay. Text me after.
The way Kyle told me to see who I'd be better with is to tell them about our past and see who's reaction is the best.
"Why is your life story long and sad?" He asked.
I took out my juul and inhaled it before I started.
"It started when I was seven. My mom was driving home from work and got into a car accident. The roads were so wet and slippery, she lost control of the wheel." I said.
"Soph, I'm so sorry. I had no idea." He said squeezing my hand.
"No it's fine, it's fine." I said.
"Continue." He said.
"It was on the news, that's how Kyle, my dad and I found out. Later that night, my dad killed himself. He overdosed on sleeping pills. Kyle and I found hin in the bathtub that morning." I said with watery eyes.
"I'm so sorry for your losses, Soph. It must be hard." He said.
"It's fine. Kyle and I went on to move in with our grandma, the one that loved Mamma Mia. She's the reason why I perform so much. She taught me that I could do anything with the right mindset." I said.
"You're talking in the past, I have a bad feeling." He said.
"The middle of my seventh grade year, she passed. She passed from dementia." I said.
"Oh Soph." He said squeezing my hand again.
"We then went on to move in with my aunt. She's crazy as hell. She'd use us for attention. She'd talk about all my accomplishments and call Kyle lazy. I would scream at her everyday to be nice to Kyle." I said.
"He did do big things. That's why he didn't graduate high school. He went on his first tour when I was a sophomore. The same summer, he went on the Vans Warped Tour." I said.
"Did you graduate high school?" He asked.
"I graduated early. I went off to New Jersey where I made my off off Broadway debut. And I have been to New York, just on business. That's when I did Spongebob. I was okay on my own. My cast became my family. Now I'm here." I said wiping away some tears.
"Wow. You've been through so much. To see you here living your best life is amazing. You are the definition of survivor, Soph." He said giving me a hug.
I don't know why, but I started hysterically crying.
"Aw Soph. Don't cry. I'm here. I'll always be here for you. Whether you need a juul buddy or a shoulder to cry on." He said.
"Thank you so much. I just have to text Kyle where I am." I said.
Sophie ❤: He took it so well. He really did care. He held me when I started crying.
Kyle ❤: Drew: 1 Mikey: 0
