Chapter 21

Sophia

I was the one that had been avoiding him like crazy. But, it was bugging me that he wasn't making the effort to connect with me. I watched Elijah's back move further and further away as he left the restaurant at the hotel, with me, my mom and his dad all still seated and eating.

At that moment, I didn't have the courage to reach out to him. Because our parents were there, and I didn't know if I could control myself with all four of us seated at the same table. So, I decided to ignore Elijah, instead, but I just ended up making him mad. I didn't think I even had the right to reach out to him, and it had hurt.

I really messed up this time. It had been a few days already. I got the message from Mom telling me where they were at. They'd wait for us before deciding on living arrangements, but that was the last thing on my mind.
