To Late

CHAPTER FOUR

*SOPHIES P.O.V.*

      "What's your name?" I ask the boy who has put me through this hell.

     He looks into my eyes, his eyes as soft as a snowflake, as blue as the deep sea. "My names Jake, I'm in your algebra class." I keep thinking until I remember, he was the one laughing every time someone had said something so cruel to me.

     "Why me..?" I question my eyes boring into his. I feel him turn, like he's a bit uncomfortable with the question I had just asked. I hear his breathing intensify almost instantly.

      "I umm... I did it to fit in..." he whishpers ever so softly. His answer angers me, he had no right! I have to sit here and suffer just so people can fit in? Why can't we all just get along?

      "You're pathetic.. just like everyone else in that hell hole. I don't want you here anymore, I don't want you to come see me. I don't want you to even think of me. I'm not a toy, I don't like being played with and I sure as hell will not let you." I pull of the blanket revealing my wrists, "I hope you fit in really well now, because this was all from what you and your friends would say about me. It drive me to cutting, to killing myself. All you did was laugh at me. Mock me. You're the loser here. Not me!" I feel my blood boil as my voice sounds like a knife slowly digging into his heart, making him cringe with every word I spoke.

*JAKES P.O.V*

     Every word that Sophie said killed me, I make her cut, I'm the true loser. I reach out for her hand, but she instantly rips it away. "I'm do sorry I did this to you." I whisper to her watching her tears fall onto her beautiful soft skin.

     She quickly looks away, not letting me see her broken. She puts her hard shell back on, "leave. I don't need you here and I sure as hell don't want you here." At that moment I knew I should leave, but I wasn't able too. I would be her new guardian. Well, my dad would be. We'd take care of her, her dad passed her off to us the minute my dad told him. We didn't sign anything to make her my legal sister though.

     "I can't leave you Sophie, you're living with me now."
