Sophia

Sophia’s head felt like cotton.

No… her head felt like it was an empty helium balloon that had been filled up and let go too many times, and then stuffed with cotton.

Wait, that didn’t make sense either.

Why were all of her thoughts so groggy? The last thing she remembered was walking around the grocery store. In her downtime between lessons with Missy and drawing commissions, she’d taken to researching different recipes now that she had access to food. She wanted to do something special for the Millers, so she’d asked Missy and Chastity to take her into town. And also sworn them to secrecy.

But then, her ex—

Her ex!

Sophia sat up with a jolt, throwing herself to the side. She was moving, far too fast to be carried, so that meant that she was in a car.

“Let me go!” she screamed, bringing up her fists like Missy had taught her and twisting so that she could kick at the driver.

“Whoa, whoa, Sophia, it’s me! You’re alright, it’s okay. I got you. Your ex ran off again.”

The voice. Sophia knew that voice. That voice meant that she was safe.

“Bradley?” she asked hazily, her vision clearing.

“Yeah. Sophia, it’s me. It’s okay, you’re in my truck and we’re headed home.”

“Home.”

She sat up slowly, her heartbeat coming down. Her ex… her ex had been at the grocery, but she wasn’t at the grocery. She was safe.

But why was her head so… funny?

She didn’t know, but more and more of her memory slid back to her. Cops had shown up and she’d tried to tell them what happened, but they’d treated her like she was the bad one. The next thing she knew, cuffs were being put on her, and she was being dragged.

She’d yelled at them that they had everything all messed up, yeah, but she’d managed to keep mostly calm until she thought she saw a glimpse of her ex’s father outside one of the windows. Then everything had clicked together, and she understood that this was a setup. Even if she didn’t go with him, there was a backup plan to get her to where they could easily load her up and haul her out.

And that… that was so terrifying.

Even with the fake engagement, even with all the Millers on her side, they still wouldn’t stop. Would they ever stop? Or was she going to have to lay in the ground, cold and dead, before they finally would leave her be?

But then, right when her mind was done wrapping itself around that, the embarrassment set in.

She was pretty sure that she had been passed out, which wasn’t great. But she had also been in literal jail before that, which meant that Bradley had bailed her out. How humiliating! His family was helping her out, letting her stay with them for free, and she repaid them by getting arrested and costing them more money? And what would she do when she had to show up for court? When even was her court date? And would he be there?

One thing for certain was that Bradley had to hate her now.
