*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. Everybody is trying to make ends meet— 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. We got to know each other more and became really close, hence him being my now best friend.

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 and waiting for Jason to get back with our food. He went out to buy some Chinese.

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

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

I got up and walked into the kitchen to see Jason unpacking the food and setting out the spicy noodle boxes one by one.

"Yum, thank-a-youuuu Jasy" I playfully pouted at him.

"You're very welcome Sophi-Wofi" we both laughed at our goofiness

With our food and drinks in hand, we went into the lounge and resumed watching Friends. Just then Chandler was plucking Joey's eyebrows. Laughter and wheezing filled the air throughout the night. After 5 more episodes, we soon became tired.

"Come on Jase, it's late babes 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

Jason was handsome, very muscular and perfectly tanned. He had dirty blonde hair but he dyed it brown. if I hadn't known better you'd think he would be your typical jock-type with chocolate brown eyes and a jaw line to die for. 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 babes?" Jason took my hand looking at me with a knowing look of concern

"I just miss him so much Jase"

"Awww come on now, heyyyy baby 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 him. I just sometimes wish it were Lucca who was here doing all of the comforting.

"I guess you're right, anyways let's go to bed" I got up and pulled him up by his arms as we went to his room. I didn't want to think about my situation further, it would just make me feel more depressed.

We have separate rooms, but sometimes when one of us feels down or needs the other we sleep in that person's room. We have a close friendship and I see Jason more as a girlfriend than anything. Other people would probably find it odd but who gives a shit. They wouldn't understand unless they had their own Jason in their life.
