"Ash I...I l-like you. I like you a lot. Not k-knowing.... Ignoreing you-it hurt. It hurt like h-hell" she stammered.
"If what Andrew said was true...." she left the sentence hanging.
"Ash I don't care. I-I I want to be...

I took hold of Sofia's hand and dragged her away from Ash, leaving him there all alone. I felt that in my heart. I had hurt myself in the process of asking him to leave me alone, but it will be worth it. He will be safe. I think I knew what has happened and I needed to deal with it on my own or he would get hurt because what I was about to make myself do was dangerous.
I didn't leave Sofia's hand till we were near the lockers. I got my bag out of my locker and took my little clutch out of it.
In it was a burner phone that I always had on me and a credit card with enough allowance to buy me a lifetime in heaven. These were the two things that I always had on me but never used. Sofia saw this and gaped like a fish, she knew I would never even touch these things unless it was apocalypse or end of the world.
I dragged her to my car and we both got in.
I looked at her seriously, suppressing all the emotions churning in me, waiting to burst out like a volcano and I think Sofia knew this.
She was my one and only friend who new one terrible truth about me, a truth that I wished I could turn in a lie. But it wasn't.
"Tell me exactly when these texts started and what did they want?" I asked her seriously. And without missing a beat she jumped into the story.
"Rose the day your mom took you away was the day, I received the first text. It was about your whereabouts. They told me they won't harm me if I told them the exact truth. First I thought someone was just pranking me so I changed my number and deleted your details from my phone." she went on without a pause.
"But they got hold of the other number as well, this unknown person did not want me to go to anyone for help so they threatened to k-kill my little sister," she said and my eyes flared up, no one, I repeat no one threatens to hurt my Lyla.
She must have seen the fire in my eyes cause she took hold of my hand and squeezed it lightly.
"It was all manageable for me, I would never have disclosed your location to anyone, I knew that. I kept telling this person that I had no idea where you were."
"And then one day some men dragged me in a van and threatened to kill my whole family and Ethan."
"And I came to here three days later, I needed to see you to warn you. I begged my parents to let me come here to Mason and they complied." she finished.
I took a deep breath to compose myself.
"Sof don't panic but I think you were followed here," I said slowly holding her hand.
