Sophia Gilinsky

" Yes mom, I love you too" I chuckled into the now 34 minute hug my mom was giving me.

" Are you sure you're gonna be okay?" she asked pulling back and looking down at me.

" Yes momma...i'll text you if anything happens" I nodded kissing her cheek. " Tell Dylan and Jay i love them" i said knowing that they both were downstairs sucking face before Mom and Derek got downstairs.

Jaden still isn't ready to tell mom and Dad or Derek because he thinks they'll treat him differently once they realize. I'm mostly worried about him telling Dad because he may tell Madison and that lady has no respect for others or herself and if she says anything to hurt my brother and mess with him about what he wants to do with his life than I may have deeper issues with my dad and her.

so will momma.

" Ok...we're gonna go now" mom sighed giving me one last long kiss on my cheek grabbing her bag. " Love you baby" She said blowing me a kiss.

" Love you too momma" I giggled shaking my head.

Derek shook his head giving me a hug and a forehead kiss before following my mom out. I shook my head locking the door behind them.

I spun around and faced the cute little loft that I can officially say is all mine and smiled.

Finally an adult!

I let out a little squeal falling back onto sofa.

I started to snuggle into the warm couch but got off track by my phone obnoxiously ringing from the kitchen counter where I left it.

I sighed as i got up knowing it's probably my mom calling to say she misses me after 10 minutes of being gone.

" Hello?" i answered once i grabbed my phone.

" Hey...A-Are you busy?"

+

I let out a deep breathe running my fingers through my hair.

How did he even know i was here? I hadn't told anyone i was here, The only people who know are my family and...

Kassidy...

" Still as beautiful as the last time i saw you"

I looked up and blushed at Noah's sly little compliment and breathtaking smile.

" Thank you" I said softly, pushing a piece of hair behind my ear.

" No problem" He cutely smiled. " Can i?" he asked holding his arms out like he wanted a hug.

I kindly nodded standing up and letting him engulf me in those strong arms i've been craving for so long.

Nathalie...His girlfriend is Nathalie!

" I missed you so much" he mumbled into my hair, holding me tightly.

I sighed feeling myself sink into his arms, feeling the warmth i used to feel every day for a year, The warmth i felt so comfortable with...

" I missed you too" I mumbled allowing my eyes to flutter closed

" I'm so sorry about what happened the last time i saw you...I just missed you so much and remembered all we had...i truly never got over you...I thought i did when i met Nathalie but...Nobody could ever replace you" he said pulling back and cupping my cheeks into his hands.

Wait what?

" Then why're you with her Noah? that's not fair to her" I frowned pulling back.

" I know!...That's why i ended things with her the minute we got back to L.A...I just felt so bad that i was having these thoughts about you while i was with her..." he said grabbing my hand.

I pulled away looking down at my fingers.

" You thought that...if you break up with her i'm just gonna jump into your arms?...Are you serious?" I asked crossing my arms.

" I-I Sophie-"

" No...I'm not stupid or that naive girl anymore Noah...How do i know you won't hurt me like you hurt Nathalie huh?...How do i know you won't break my heart just like you broke hers huh?" i asked

" I know you aren't Sophia...and i'm not gonna play you...baby i love you" Noah said moving his chair closer and grabbing my hand.

" I don't...I'm scared...i'm scared to trust you again... i'm scared to trust anyone I-"

" I'll earn it again...I'll work for your trust for as long as i have to and as hard as i have to...I love you" Noah cupped my cheeks and softly caressed my cheeks. " Just give me the chance Baby" he said softly.

I looked down tearing up.

I wanted to say no...but i wanted to say yes much much more...

I miss him...

I miss us so much...

I miss the late night cuddles

the forehead kisses

the passionate kisses before or after we said our i love you's.

" You have one chance...Then i'm done"
