Let's Capture It

"Sofi what were you thinking?" Camila raises her tone at her as she brings her sister back to her place.

"Kaki please not now? I have a huge headache. I already heard enough from Ms. Jáuregui." Her sister complains.

"We'll talk later then. We're not done with this conversation." She points to her. "Just go to one of the guest rooms and relax. I have to do some work before I start dinner. And I'll call mami and Papa to tell them you're with me." She reassures her sister as she sets down her bag and opens her laptop.

"Don't te-"

"Don't worry I won't tell them," she cuts her sister off. "You'll talk to them later if it comes up in future conversations."

"Mila." Her sister calls out. Camila looks up the staircase right at her. "Thanks. You're always there for me whenever I need you." Camila nods and brings her attention back to her laptop. Her phone vibrates on the coffee table.

Becky: Mila, I'm fine thank you. I have to talk to you tonight about what happened earlier. Can I come over? You live in Miami still right? I had to drive to Fort Lauderdale after I left.

Camila: Yeah I still live in Miami. I do have to drive to Fort Lauderdale tonight though so I can meet you out there. Mami And papa moved out there so I have to bring Sofia home.

Becky: Wow little Sofia?! She's probably so grown up now. I'm going out there tomorrow anyways so I can bring her for you in the morning if you want.

Camila: Actually that'd be great. Thanks. Do you want to come by for dinner? You can bring the little one too.

Becky: ❤️ gracias

"Okay focus Camila." She tells herself. "Deadline is in a couple of weeks, we have two meetings coming up, a baby shower to plan, you got this." She says.

She was determined to get these photos done by the end of tomorrow. She had promised her client that she would edit these photos as fast as she can. Her client had promised her a bonus if she got them done within the two weeks time from the wedding.

About an hour later her phone rings again.

"Hello?" She answers, putting it on speaker. She continues to edit the last 10 photos she has left.

"Camila have you heard from Sofia?!" She hears her father yell through the phone. "She isn't answering her cell phone and she isn't home!" He continues. Camila palms her forehead, completely forgetting that she told her sister she would call their parents to tell them she was with her. She stops her work and closes her laptop.

"Oh damn it Papa! I'm sorry I forgot to call. Sofia is with me right now. She's sleeping. That's probably why she didn't pick up her phone." She tells them.

"Oh god okay. I was worried for a second," he breathes out. "How are you doing mija? How's business been doing for you?" Her father asks her.

"Business is great Papa. I'll be doing a celebrity's wedding very soon." She tells him. She wanted to ask him how her mom and him were doing but she was hesitant. There was a long pause on the phone.

"Mami's fine. We're fine mija," he tries to convince her but Camila knew better. He was only telling her what she wanted him to say.

"You don't have to lie to me Papa.. I'm not Sofi." She breathes out. "Where is she right now? Can I talk to her?" She asks.

"She's not home right now mija.. I.. I don't know where she is. Camila, Papa has to go now okay? I love you so much." He says. She hears it in his voice. So much pain. And she couldn't do much to help her father.
