Overlooked Love

Chapter 118: Sort Out

Sophie jogged up to the porch of her house, panting heavily since she had just run from Keefe's house to hers.

She just needed to get out of there as quick as she could.

Sophie felt her heart start to quicken more than usual and she realized that she would probably have a panic attack soon. She needed to quickly get the medication that Elwin prescribed her.

Sophie quickly knocked on the door. "Open up!" She yelled.

The door quickly opened to reveal Edaline with a worried expression. "Sophie?! What's going on?! Why are you home early?!"

"I just need my meds!" Sophie exclaimed, running through the door and quickly making her way to the medicine cabinet. She quickly swallowed a couple of pills as Edaline watched her, looking worried.

"I'll be fine now," Sophie said.

"Sophie what happened?" Edaline asked, blocking Sophie's way from leaving the kitchen.

"Nothing, mom," Sophie said, really just wanting to just take a nice warm shower to just get her mind off what happened.

Edaline raised an eyebrow. "Obviously something happened since you needed to take your meds."

Welp.

"Mom can I just shower and go to bed early? I can explain everything to you tomorrow. Right now I just don't feel like it," Sophie explained, honestly.

Edaline sighed. "I get it. Just don't let your dad see you like this—"

"WELL HELLO THERE SOPHIE!" Grady announced as he popped into the kitchen, cutting Edaline off. "I see you are home early," Grady noticed, twirling his bat.

"Uhm—"

"NOW WHAT DID THAT BOY DO?!" Grady shouted, getting in Sophie's face.

Jeez! Sophie couldn't even say anything!

"Nothing Dad," Sophie said, rolling her eyes.

"Mhm," Grady hummed, narrowing his eyes. "I'll be watching you," he added as he slowly backed out of the kitchen.

When he left the kitchen and Sophie couldn't see him anymore, she heard a crash.

"WHO PUT THIS FLOWER POT HERE?!" Grady exclaimed from the other room.

Edaline sighed. "He has bad luck with flower pots." Sophie nodded in agreement.

Before Sophie could walk away, Edaline exclaimed, "oh wait—Sophie! I have good news!"

"What is it?" Sophie asked.

"Mr. Forkle has recovered from that infection and he'll be out of the hospital soon!" Edaline exclaimed.

Sophie's eyebrows rose. "Really?"

"Yup. I figured you could use some good news," Edaline added.

"Agreed," Sophie said as she made her way to her room.

At least one thing was good today.

Sophie shifted in the her seat outside the local cafe. She was expecting Fitz to join her.

It was the next day after the whole Keefe incident and Sophie was trying not to think about it.

She'd worry about that after she got the plan with Fitz over with.

Biana, Marella, Linh, and Stina has also been texting Sophie like crazy. They were asking how it went and what happened and if she was dead or not.
