*Sophia's POV*

So here I am, standing at the airport. A bag in one hand and plane ticket in the other.

It's all for him and it's for the best, I have to go.

I felt fresh tears threatening to fall from my eyes but I held them back. I have to be strong for him— my Lucca.
I love him with all my heart and leaving him, my family and friends behind is killing me. As much as I want to turn around, they wouldn't understand.

I then heard my flight number being called out.

Well, here goes nothingit's time for a fresh start. I hope he forgives me for this. I hope he knows how much I love him and that I'm doing this for his own good.

I boarded the plane and sat in my seat located by the window, I looked outside and saw the beautiful land. This will be my last day here in Italy.

I leaned back in my seat, closed my eyes shut and let a broken sigh take over me as I started to think back to the first day I met Lucca.

**flashback**
_______________

Oh fuck! I'm going to be late for homeroom.

I ran and it felt like my thighs were on fire but I couldn't stop. I was a senior at Hudson Crade High school, it was my first day of Senior year and I couldn't be late. Stephanie and Maxine are probably wondering where I am.

My fucking alarm never rang and my parents leave for work an hour earlier than when I have to get up so obviously they couldn't wake me up.

I ran and stopped on the sidewalk as I spotted my school's building.

"I made it, thank God" I sighed and looked up at the sky for a second— please don't rain today. I began running across the road until a matte black car came to an abrupt stop in front of me.

My eyes grew wide— I almost died.
A tall, muscular man stepped out and removed his sun glasses.

"Are you okay?" The gorgeous stranger with sleek brown hair and gorgeous brown eyes asked, judging by his attire and fancy car I'd say he's a business man just like my dad.

"Yeah I'm finejust running late for class. Don't worry I'm okay and thanks for not killing me but I really have to get going" I began walking only to be stopped by a hand on my wrist, I saw the man staring at me intently. He looked older. Late 20's? Or around early 30's, I wasn't sure.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes I'm fine, now if you'll excuse me... I have to get going sir" I bit out and tried to get my arm free from his grip which in result, just tightened. Not that it hurt— but his grip was really firm.

"Ok, but quick questionwhat is your name sweetheart?" He smirked

"Sophia. Now may I please get going? I'm extremely late" I asked getting slightly annoyed

He chuckled and my annoyance only grew stronger.

"Well watch where you're running next time Sophia, in fact don't runwalk. It's safer and should result in you getting to school without being run over. By the way I'm Lucca" He smirked again

"Okay, Thank youLucca, well, I really have to get going. See you around" I got out of his grip and made my way onto the school grounds. Not before quickly glancing back to see Lucca wink at me from inside his car and drove away.

Oh my- talk about major hunk alert. Steph and Max are going to go complete feral once they hear about this.

**End of flashback**

I opened my eyes and didn't even realise I had been crying. Goodbye mom, dad, Pablo, Steph and Max. I'll miss you guys and of course— Goodbye Lucca, I'll always love you baby.

I closed my eyes once again and soon sleep took over me as I was on my way to my new destination— my new life.

New York.
God help me.
