Zoe's Pov.
I explored every inch of Julian's apartment and dubbed it amazing. It had these huge, beautiful bedrooms. Way better than Soren's crappy apartment.
"Man this guy must be loaded." I said to myself as I ran my fingertips over the walls
Who is he anyway? I don't know much about him. Time to do some snooping.
I found... nothing. He was just a guy. With an apartment who liked to dance. Okay that sounded sorta gay.
But that was all. I felt like I was in some fancy hotel, no pictures, one color was painted on all the walls and it looked like no one lived here.
At Soren's clothes were thrown everywhere and pictures were everywhere. Soren and Kevin, Soren and I. Kevin and Emma. Here it was really plain, and that's what gave me chills.
The absence of things was starting to bother me and creep me out and then.. BAM BAM
Someone pounded on the door. I quietly hid behind the table.
"Zoe!"The voice yelled from the behind the door
I opened the door holding lamp for protection but then I saw a sad looking Soren standing there. "Oh hey Soren." I said putting down the lamp
"Oh hey Soren?!? Thats all you have to say? I've been looking for you everywhere." He said angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea that Claire was me."I said sarcastically
"Just get in the cab, the drivers waiting."He said impatiently
"No." I said crossing my arms
"Get in the car. Now. The meter's running."He said his voice low
I rolled my eyes but quickly grabbed my backpack and locked Julian's apartment as I slid into the cab. Soren sat next to me and I noticed he still was tugging his suitcase around. "Where are we going?"I asked him
He didn't respond. I felt fear gnaw at my stomach. "Kevin has taken the apartment."He said roughly
I shook my head, "He can"t do that."I said plainly
"It appears he can."He said softly
"But your name was on the lease.."I trailed off
He shook his head a tear slipping down his cheek. "Oh shit. Soren. You were staying there illegally."I said shocked
"He said it would be fine if I payed rent."He said turning away from me
"Why are we stopping."I asked as we pulled up to a red brick apartment building
Vines were crawling up and down it and I immediately recognized it. "My mom's house."I muttered to myself
Soren got out and paid the driver and helped me with my bags. "Why are we here."I asked him scared
"I don't have a place to live. Correction we don't have a place to live. And now you do."He said pointing at the apartment
"But. What about you?" I asked him
He shrugged, "I'll figure something out."He said honestly
"You could stay at Julian's."I suggested
He laughed, "Yeah that's a great idea Zoe. About I ask. When hell freezes over?"He said laughing
I frowned, "Julian's not a bad guy Soren."I told him crossing my arms
"I know."He said
And then he left me, back where I started. Infront of my mom's apartment.
Soren's Pov.
I can't tell what point it was that everything changed. I've made so many mistakes and I guess thats why I'm now homless with no money.
I'm walking down the street my feet slightly aching. When I hear a voice.
"Soren.Who do I owe the pleasure of your presence." He asked
"My roommate kicked me out." I said shrugging
"We could make a deal."He suggested
"Sorry Rico I don't do deals anymore."I said trying to keep from throwing up
This was the man who helped me most when I was in need. He was also the one who beat me half to death two years ago.
"No hard feelings right?"He asked
"Do you have any idea what your.
Goons. Did to me?"I spat
"Soren. Were family, but loans are loans. We got you the money. Zoe's going to college and everyone gets what they wanted."He said gruffly
"I'm homless Rico!"I shouted at him
"We could change that."He said softly, his accent rang strong
"Same terms?"I asked suspicous
"Triple."
"Fine." I said bowing my head
"You know what happens if you don't pay right?"He asked me
I felt my stomache sink and I clenched my teeth. "I have an idea." I told him
"Good. Everyone will be so happy to see you."He smiled
"Including Sicilia."
I felt my heart drop. 3 years ago I would have died just to hear the name.
Sicilia. Sicilia. Sicilia. The name played over in my head.
