Jaxon & Sofia

After going and seeing Sofia, I applied for a new job as a pathologist. I loved my job but I needed to be somewhere that was at least 50 mile's away.
I had been looking at properties to rent in a new area. I needed this, I needed to get as far away from Sofia as possible and put this whole year behind me.

I text Ria to see if I could meet up with her for a chat as I would be leaving town tomorrow morning. She agreed to meet me at my house while I was packing up.

I called up the estate agents and asked if they could sell my house as soon as possible.
A quick deal because I was leaving town. They got someone to come straight out and evaluate my house and within 2 hours a young couple came and viewed it.
'They were expecting a baby' the thought soon rushed through my head, how far gone would Sofia have been if she didn't get rid of our baby!
It still tore me apart even to this day, I knew I would have been a good dad.

I showed the couple around the house and they loved it, they gave me an offer straight away on the spot!
I accepted it, I felt a little emotional, I had raised my baby brother here, and I killed my Doll's right underneath where The new couple were standing.
I had made memories with Sofia in this house, A tear ran down my face. I knew it was the right thing to do.

I called my agent and told him the good news, the couple wanted the house. I told them I would be in touch to sign papers and sort out details as I wouldn't be in the city anymore. They congratulated me and wished me the best.

After going to the supermarket and grabbing as many cardboard boxes as possible I loaded them into the car and headed back home.
As I got home Ria was stood outside my door, waiting.
'Shes a good one' I thought to myself as she offered to help me pack, she never asked questions either, she just helped me.

I poured us both a coffee and continued to empty my draws in the bedroom.
I came across a photo Sofia and I on the boat on the lake, 'that day was a good day' I thought to myself. I stuck it under my pillow and continued to pack.

I called down the stairs to Ria who was packing up the living room "fancy an Indian?"

"Of course, that would be great I'm starving.."came her reply.

I called and ordered food for us both, I still couldn't stop thinking about Sofia and if she could handle herself in prison.
Sofia was in there for no reason, she didn't kill those women, I did.
She was taking the fall for me even now and there I was just inside my own bubble, living my life on the outside, yet she was still the only person I could think about.

Once our food arrived I unpacked my forks and we ate out of the containers like animals. Ria really managed to make me laugh and feel better about myself, I thought of her as a VERY close friend and I hoped we could remain friends for a long time.

By the time we had finished packing up the house it was late, the removal van was coming at 9am the next morning.
I stood and looked around my house thinking about all the good and bad memories, then took myself to bed with Ria, nothing happened this time we just fell asleep cuddling, sometimes sex wasn't everything, Sofia had taught me that.
