It's YOUR fault-(Cimorelli story)

Chapter 30 - Mikah❤

Sofia's POV

As soon as Kyle leaves, I go back into the living room and I'm basically attacked by Lexie.

"Is he gone?" she says pouncing up from the couch. 

"Yeah," I sighed. We locked eyes for a moment, Lexie's showed just how confused she was.

"Sofia, what the hell is going on?" Lexie asked, frustrated, "It definitely wasn't Kyle who raped Lauren." I just closed my eyes and listened to her. I already knew what the answer to this puzzle was, I knew from the beginning. I knew it was bloody Jason. But Lexie didn't so I just waited until the clogs in her brain finally turned and the answer came to her.

"And if Jason wasn't picking up his phone, that makes it really suspicious," Lexie said, now pacing around the room, "Wait so he was lying to us back at Becca's hangout?" Now I looked at her.

"I knew he was lying Lex, I saw how nervous he was." I said to her.

"Wait, why didn't you say anything?" she asked.

"I don't know, I didn't think much of it, I  didn't think he would be that sick to actually do something like that." I replied truthfully.

"So it was Jason then." Lexie concluded. I rolled my eyes, grateful that Lexie finally got it. She was kind of a slow one, if you know what I mean.

"Well, we have to find him, he needs to be behind bars, god knows how many others he's done it to and Dani and Laur-" she rambled but I cut her off.

"No," I said. She looked at me, confused.

"What do you mean?" she asked incredulously. 

"I said no, we don't need to get involved it's not our problem." I said raising my voice.

"But Sofia he-"

"I KNOW WHAT HE FREAKING DID LEXIE! AND IT'S NOT OUR FUCKING PROBLEM! IT'S THEIRS! LAUREN AND DANI ARE OLD ENOUGH TO SORT THIS SHIT OUT ON THEIR OWN!" I yelled at her, getting it all off my chest. Truth is I didn't  feel that way at all, I really did wanna help Lauren but I've been having a problem of my own, the last couple of days and I couldn't keep it on any more so I let out all out on poor Lexie. I hadn't even realised I was crying until I felt Lexie's arms wrap around me tightly. She rubbed small circles on my back which seemed to calm me down a little. She then led me to the sofa, where I sat with my head on Lexie's chest. She ran her hands through my hair and kept telling me that it would be okay. So I believed her... at least a little anyway.

"Wanna talk about it?" she asked me. I didn't want to. Not really. But I also knew that I had been bottling this up for way too long. I kept my head on her chest and started to tell her my story.

Lexie's POV

"I KNOW WHAT HE FREAKING DID LEXIE! AND IT'S NOT OUR FUCKING PROBLEM! IT'S THEIRS! LAUREN AND DANI ARE OLD ENOUGH TO SORT THIS SHIT OUT ON THEIR OWN!" Sofia yelled at me. I stood in awe as my best friend completely broke down in front of me. How could I be so blind and not have realised how much she was hurting. I quickly rushed over and engulfed her trembling body in a hug. She clutched on to my shirt and cried. I rubbed her back soothingly. I didn't know how to react in situations like these, I wasn't the best at consoling people. But whatever I did seemed to be working, because Sofia slowly calmed down. I slowly led her to the sofa where she lay her head on my chest.

I ran my hands through her hair and kept telling her that it would be okay, even though I had no idea what was going on with her. But I made it my mission to find out.

"Wanna talk about it?" I asked her. She hesitated for a while and then after a few sniffles she began to speak.

"When I used to live in New York," she said, I nodded my head, I remember her saying she used to live there, "I lived with my whole family, my mom, dad and my little brother." I looked down at her in shock, I knew about her dad as he always sent her money. I knew about her mom but she never talked about her, but she had never said anything about a brother. She continued talking.

"We were so happy, I loved my brother and mom so much, I even loved my dad at that time." she chuckled, I smiled. "Then, everything went bad." She took a deep breath and then continued.

"There was a horrible accident, a fire, my mom and brother died." she said, her voice breaking slightly. 

"Soph," I said, not really knowing what else to say, I rubbed her arms. She smiled up at me sadly.

"It's okay, after they" she cleared her throat, "after they died, my dad, he shut off from everyone, including me. He became engrossed in his work which is why he's so rich, he sold our old house and bought a mansion. He always had maids and babysitters look after me, because he never had time for me, I hated it. I felt so alone." She paused for a moment. I squeezed her shoulder, urging her to continue.

"As soon as I turned 17 I got out of there, I told someone to tell my dad I was leaving and I gave him my address, in case he ever wanted to visit but no I guess not, seeing as he's never even contacted me," she laughed bitterly, "I wanted to start a new life so I came here and met Becca and the rest of them and then I met you." I sat there for a minute taking everything in. 

"I know right, it's a lot to take in," Sofia said and we both laughed.

"Sofia, promise me something?" I said, she hummed and looked at me.

"Never keep anything bottled up again, I could take a thousand more of those rants if I have to just so I know you're not hurting." I said, genuinely.

"I promise." she smiled, "Oh and sorry abut earlier, it's just last week would've marked the 5th year my mom and brother had died." 

"You could've told me." I said. She just smiled at me and I smiled back and with that the air was cleared between us again.

"Tell me about your brother," I asked. She lifted her head off my chest and laughed and looked up at the sky.

"His name was Mikah, he was 11 years old when he passed away and I was 14. He was the best human ever. He was wise beyond his years and he was so bright and he had this special sense of humour. He was very much like Kyle, I guess that's why Kyle and I are so close because Kyle reminds me of Mikah." She finished, beaming. I felt a tear escape my eye, but I was quick to wipe it away, Sofia still noticed though.

"If I'm gonna open up, you've got to too you know?" she said and I looked down, "You can't hide your emotions forever." I looked at her.

"Don't worry, I'm getting better." I said truthfully, because I was, I'd been talking to Dani a lot ever since we kissed, "I have to tell you something." I said, blushing furiously.

Sofia quickly looked at me seriously but her expression changed once she saw the colour of my cheeks. She broke out into a grin.

"Finally, about bloody time." she exclaimed, "So did you kiss her or did she kiss you?" It's funny how she knew straight away, I rolled my eyes.

"It just kinda happened, I saw Dani at the park, and we were on the swings and yeah..." I stuttered out. She laughed and then her face turned into a serious expression.

"Well if Dani's your girlfriend now or whatever, this means we have to help her and her family, I didn't mean what I said earlier." Sofia said as she jumped up, wiping away her tears. I grinned at her.

"Yeah, let's go get that son of a bitch." I said and we went into our rooms to get cleaned up before we left to find him.

I promise, there will be more Cimorelli stuff soon. But for now, I hope you enjoyed this emotional chapter! Also sorry for the language but I felt like that would be something Sofia and Lexie would have said. Please comment kids, it means a lot!
