Blast from the Past - Part 3.
There he was, Sofie thought to herself, James was standing right infront of her, and it was almost like she wasn’t even sure how to react, should she go up and hug him, or wave from a distance? I guess that all depended on how he reacted, right?
Once James glanced towards her direction and seen the expression on her face, he knew then that was her, that was his sister who he hadn’t seen in seven years. Man, how much he missed her, if she had only known. He couldn’t even help but run up to her and pull her closely into his strong arms. It seemed as if Sofie still didn’t know what to do besides to place her arms around his body gently.
“Oh my god, James,” she cried softly. “What was I thinking all these years?”
“Don’t blame yourself, Sofe… I didn’t give you a way of contacting me.. lets get a seat first, okay?”
“Okay,” she sniffled.
“Although I must say, I already have a table for us,” he said, looking up to their table and taking her hand in his as they walked to it. He took her over to her side of the table and helped her into the seat, and then walked over to the other side of the table and sat down in his own. He had imagined the day where he would contact his sister and actually be able to see her again, he just didn’t imagine it would be so soon, heck.. Who’s to say it was that soon, he had been searching for 2 years now. He just couldn’t help but to stare at her. “Wow,” is all he could spit out.
She giggled, and then they began to talk and catch up on everything that they’ve been missing out on. “Where are you staying?” she asked him curiously.
“I’m bunking with Eric, you remember Eric, right?” Who was he kidding, he knew she would remember him.
“Oh yes, I remember him,” how could she not remember him? They had dated for over two years, the only reason they had broken up was because Eric had to move to florida to take care of his sick grandmother. “Still living in Florida?”
“Nah, we moved back up here, actually to Veronaville,” which was only 20 minutes from her house. “It’s a crappy little apartment, but it’s working for now, we’ve only been here for two weeks.”
She sighed, shaking her head, “that’s no way for my little brother to live, if you want to, you could always come shack up at my place,” she smirked, knowing he wouldn’t accept that kind of help from his sister.
“Don’t be silly,” he said as he had noticed his sister glancing to another table and her facial expression changing dramatically. “What is it?”
Sofie’s mouth had dropped open, what was she going to do? “Oh my god…
…Clayton.”
“Uh.. James, do you think it would be okay, if we change our plans?”
“What do you mean, Sofe?”
Sofie stood up and grabbed James trying to hide behind him until they got out front, then she turned to him, “we need to get out of here, or atleast I do,” her eyes shot back and forth around the area.
James looked at her with the most confused look on his face, “Do I need to beat someone’s ass for you?”
“No, no. Lets just go to my house, I’ll cook us up something good, if you’re hungry. We can do anything I promise!” she said hurriedly.
“Okay, okay, Lets go then, if you’re in such a rush,” he said looking around as they made their way to the car.
The whole way in the car they had been silent, Sofie didn’t know how to explain her actions, and she wasn’t sure if it was the correct time to fill him in on how she feels for Clayton. And plus she felt like such a teenager when it came to that boy.
‘What is James thinking? He is probably thinking that I’m crazy’ she thought to herself, ‘damn it, I should’ve just walked right up to Clayton, why let him have the satisfaction of screwing my night up?’ Ah, the things that popped through Sofie’s head.
James wasn’t sure what to do when his sister panicked and wanted to leave, he wasn’t exactly hungry, he just wanted to see her and be able to talk to her, he didn’t even care about the past, he just cared about the future and he wants her to be a part of it.
As they reached Sofie’s house, James was shocked and surprised at how big it was, he hadn’t expected this. “Wow, Sofe.. you’re really successful, huh?” he said.
“Ha. No, this is because of the” her eyes started to turn towards the ground and her voice went suddenly quiet, “.. you know.”
“Oh, right.. yeah, I guess if I stuck around I would’ve had a piece of it, too,” he tried joking, but knowing this wasn’t a joking matter he apologized.
They walked into the house and sat down at the kitchen table, just to talk, they had a lot to catch up on, from the incident itself to the future now, but they weren’t sure exactly how to get to it, so they started right from the beginning, what better of a place to start?
James explained to Sofie that when she had told him to come with her, he was so confused, and as she was in a rush to get the heck out of the place he had no choice but to freeze up and look for his parents. He had said that he had seen her body, too, but since he was still young and looked up to his father completely, he didn’t want to admit to himself that his father would do something like that. “How could anyone have that little of a heart? .. They were in love at one point, you and I both know that,” he stated with a matter of fact tone. He nodded as Sofie went on to say that obviously something had changed in their relationship, their father had changed, he didn’t see their mother the same way he had used to, and that was what caused things to slip and fade the way they did.
He had gone on to explain to his sister that after she ran away and he found their father, that they both had made a run for it and he didn’t know why. Their father had told James that he didn’t do it, that there was an accident with their mother, that she had a miscarriage, and she was so depressed. “He told me that she killed herself, Sofie.. that’s what he told me, what was I to believe?” She had sensed how sad he was about this, as she reached her hand over to place it on his, letting him know that she didn’t blame him anymore.
When they had all gone to court for the matter at hand, and her brother had stuck up for their father, after he had known the fights that were going on, she was furious, but furious at the wrong person, she wasn’t supposed to be mad at her father and her brother, just her father for brainwashing her brother and for killing their mother.
Now that they had talked about it, they had both hoped they could put it behind them, she didn’t want to be pained everytime she sets her eyes on James, she wants to be happy now that he would be a part of her life, and she had hoped that that is what it would be like for him, too.
After about two hours of that conversation, she realized it was getting late and asked him if he had wanted to stay the night, he had told her that it wouldn’t be necessary, but he did want to hang out with her for a bit more. As she heard this, she agreed, she didn’t seem to want this night to ever end. and that’s when they started to playfully punch eachother like they used to do when they were kids.
“So.. are you seeing anyone right now?” she asked curiously.
“Uh, I just moved back here two weeks ago, so not anyone around here,” he smirked, “Why, you got any single friends?”
She thought about Amber, then shook her head, she was so not right for him. “No, no, not really..”
Then the question she had hoped he wouldn’t ask came out, “What about you? I thought you would’ve been married with five kids by now,” he joked.
She sighed, “No, to be honest, I haven’t gotten over my last boyfriend, and I’m kind of acting like a child when it comes to Stacey’s fiancés best friend,” she blushed a little bit.
“Oh? Your last boyfriend.. as in Eric?” he asked and noticed her blushing a bit more and nodding in answer, “Well, he actually told me he couldn’t wait to see you again. Last I knew he was talking to some Kayla chick,” and as he seen her expression sink, he threw in “but, they’re not that serious…
… And don’t you worry about acting like a kid when it comes to crushing, I know how you feel, who is this guy?”
“..His name is Clayton. And I just seen him at dinner, with another girl, after standing me up tonight,” she sighed.
When they noticed it was 1:00am, she thought it was best to take him home already, after all they had plenty of time to catch up now that they had eachother back. So, they piled into her car and continued to talk as she drove, when they had reached his apartment, he had asked if she wanted to come say hi to Eric, but she declined his invitation and they had made plans to all meet up sometime soon, again.
