In the middle of nowhere

Chapter 14 ✔️

P.o.v. Sophia

I woke up. It's Thursday today and New Year is only 3 days from now on. I took my phone.

I read almost every comments. Some of them were hurtful. They didn't know me so why would they say I'm a whore?

I sighed deeply. I also had some text from friends who gave me their number so I saved them. Afterwards I turned off my phone. People kept reacting at my post and it drove me nuts.

I went upstairs and sat down by the piano. I placed my hands in the right position and started to play.

Music had always something special. You could express you emotions without saying a word. I loved it. I was never good in expressing myself properly until I found music. My music teacher used to say 'Let the music speak when words can't'. She was a wise woman.

When I was done I went downstairs. I took my phone again because I wanted to check how late it was.

You have 378 new messages.

I sighed deeply. "Seriously?" I yelled frustrated. "Don't they have a life?" I continued. I took my phone and threw it against the wall.

Shit

I ran towards it. "Please please please" I begged. "Yes" I yelled enthusiastically when it still worked. This was the first time ever that there was nothing wrong with my phone.

But maybe I should turn off the notifications? That's probably better. I'm not planning on buying a new phone, again.

All of a sudden my phone started buzzing. The name Emma reappeared at the screen. "Hi Ems" I said enthusiastically. "Hi" she yelled. "What's going on with Shawnia?" she asked immediately. "Straight to the point" I said laughing.

"Well" she said. I sighed. "Nothing. We're nothing. I don't know him" I explained. "Then why does everybody say you do know each other?" she asked confused. I started to explain everything all over again.

"Oh wow" she said. "Indeed" I answered her. "He probably has seen that post right? A lot of girls tagged him." she said. "Yeah probably. I don't care" I said calmly.

'You do' Dora said in my ear. Dora this is not the right moment, okay?

"You do" Emma said. Damn it. She's right. 'I told you so' Dora said. I sighed deeply.

"I do" I answered after a while. "Anyway he doesn't want anything to do with me and that's fine. I'll just have to accept that" I responded quietly. "Not necessarily" Emma almost whispered. "No Emma. Just no" I sighed. "Okay okay" she answered.

"Any plans for New Years Eve?" she asked to switch the subject. "Sara dragged me to go out" I answered laughing. "You're going out? You're making progress. I'll be there too so I'll see you then" Emma said laughing. "Another reason to not go. Hmm? Interesting" I responded. "Ey, that's mean" she answered. I started to laugh. "I'm sorry" I responded quickly. "Better. Okay see you then! Byee" she said. "Bye" I answered.

Shit. I still had to find a good excuse. I was never going to find an excuse good enough to trick Sara and Emma. Damn it. And I have nothing to wear.
I sighed deeply.

Maybe I should call Adam? I took my phone again and pressed the button. "Hi Soph" he said. "Adam" I yelled enthusiastically. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Do you maybe have some time to help me with some shopping?" I asked. "For shopping always" he said laughing. "Tomorrow?" I asked. "Yeah! That's perfect! See you tomorrow!" he responded. "See ya" I answered smiling.

Adam is a great guy. He's a colleague of mine and teaches fashion. He's amazing and always up for some shopping. I love him so much. Not like 'love love' but like friend love. I'm making some weird sentences here, oops?

Don't get me wrong, he is handsome like hell but he is gay so I'll never make a chance. Not that I want to make a chance. We're just friends. Okay next subject because this is getting awkward.

I went to the kitchen and started to cook. I like to cook. Most people don't like it, especially not when it's just for themselves, because it takes a lot of time. But I do like it. I always like to experiment with new stuff.

I ate my dinner and cleaned the dishes. "Are you ready for a movie?" I asked Jodie. She looked at me like 'please human, let me sleep' and she closed her eyes again. I laughed a little.

"A gift to remember" I whispered to myself. I shrugged my shoulders and pressed it. I started to watch it.

A girl bumped into the guy and now the guy has amnesia. "Seriously? That guy has amnesie and still find the love of his life?" I said frustrated.

I know what you're all thinking. How is that possible? Sophia doesn't like romantic movies? No, I do like them. I just get frustrated by the fact that everything always has a happy end. That's not reality.

'That's why it's called a movie?' Dora said. I sighed. Okay she has a point but still.

Why can't I find love?
