*Sophia's POV*

2 years later

It's been 2 years since my move to New York and things have been going rather well. I got a job as a librarian in one of the largest libraries in town. The pay is good enough to put food on the table and to buy new clothes— but of course not enough for the luxuries that come with NYC.

I live in an apartment with my roommate and now best friend, Jason Monroe. I met him when I first moved here and saw he was advertising to share his apartment for rent in the paper. Everybody is trying to make ends meet because shit is expensive.

Of course at first I was skeptical at sharing an apartment with a guy— let alone one I've never met before. Then I got to know that Jason was gay and that somehow made me feel a bit more at ease, how many cases were there of a woman getting murdered in her sleep by a gay guy?

We got to know each other more and became really close, hence him being my now best friend— my only friend in NYC.

Jason is all caught up on my situation back in Italy. He is literally the only person I could tell in this point of time. He really sympathised with me and made sure to reassure me that if he were in my position he'd probably lose his mind.

I'm currently sitting in our living room in my comfy Llama pajama top and pink shorts watching 'Friends' on TV waiting for Jason to get back. I was craving for some chinese food.

Just then the front door burst open and in walked my best friend. He loves being all dramatic.

"I got the food babe!" He screamed from the kitchen and I laughed.

I got up and walked into the kitchen finding Jason already unpacking the food and setting out the spicy noodle boxes one by one. The smell was making my mouth water.

"Thank-a-you Jasy" I playfully pouted at him.

"You're very welcome Sophi-Wofi" He replied in the same goofy manner bringing a good laugh out from both of us.

With our food and drinks in hand, we went into the lounge and resumed watching Friends. Chandler was plucking Joey's eyebrows. Laughter and wheezing filled the air throughout the night and after just five more episodes, the laughter died down and I had stifled a yawn.

"Come on Jase, it's late babe and we got work tomorrow" I patted his leg and he whined like a little boy who has to go to school tomorrow.

"Ughhhhh you're so boring" He groaned.

I laughed at him and took a moment to look at him properly. Jason was handsome, very muscular and perfectly tanned. He had dirty blonde hair but he dyed it brown. If one hadn't known better you'd think he would be your typical jock-type that was out breaking the hearts of pretty girls who looked good enough to be models. He was really gorgeous, but of course not as gorgeous as my Lucca.

I miss him

"Hey hey hey, I know that face. What's wrong babe?" Jason took my hand looking at me with a knowing look of concern.

"I just miss him so much Jase"

"Awww come on now, babe don't worry you'll see him again— he just doesn't know the type of situation you're in right now" He comforted me and gave me a hug.

This is what I loved so much about Jason, he always knew exactly what to do and how to comfort me when I needed it. I just sometimes wish it were Lucca who would be here doing all of the comforting.
