Chapter 43

*****Sofia's POV*****

Hearing the door bell ring, I glance over to Vincent who pulls his jacket on and heads towards the door with me trailing along behind him.

Peaking out from behind his back, he opens it to find Emma as I smile at her - thankful that she had accepted the invitation to come over here to catch up with me.

"I'll be gone an hour or two, get comfortable and help yourselves to anything in the kitchen." Vincent tells us, passing Emma on his way out as they switch places and she walks inside.

He goes towards his car, before pausing and holding up his phone-

"Remember you have my number now, just phone if you need me." He states, as I smile and nod watching him climb inside the car.

Closing the door over, feeling strange being left alone in his home with Emma, I lock the door for safety measures and motion towards the living area to sit down.

Vincent had set up some snacks for us to have whilst he was away, chips, dips, chocolates and cookies along with a bottle of flavoured water each which was kind...

"My parents are shocked to see me out this much, but they are happy about it! Before you came to town I would go to school and go home - that was it!" Emma laughs and shakes her head at the memory as I smile, feeling anxious. "Ok so tell me? What the heck happened? I almost died when you asked me to come over here today! Why did you end up staying here last night again? How bad is it? Is it your brother?!" Emma states her questions immediately, looking around at Vincent's huge living space as she rabbles her concerns.

She wasn't one to hold back with me, feeling comfortable enough to not be judged for her endless rants whenever she was nervous or worried.

It was what I enjoyed most about her - she was an over sharer whereas I was the total opposite.
